I used them for disordered kid- neys and back- ache, from which I had ex- perienced a great deal of trouble and pain. The kidney secretions were very irregular, dark colored and full of sediment.

Truths that Strike Home Your grocer is honest and—if he cares to do so—can tell you that he mows very little about the butk coffee he sells you. How can he know, where it originally came from, Only Once in ‘ It was a pitiful mistake, an error sad and grim. I waited for the rail- way train; the light was low and dim. It came at last, and from the car there stepped a dainty dame, and, looking up and down the place, she straight unto me came. “Oh, Jack!” she cried, “oh, dear old Jack!” and kissed me as she spake; then looked again, and, frightened, cried, “Oh, what a bad mis- take!” I said, “Forgive me, maiden fair, for I am not your Jack; and as regards the kiss you gave, I'll straight- way give it back.” And since that night I’ve often stood upon that plat- form dim, but only once in a man’s whole life do such things come to him.

Pierce, the founder of the Invalids’ Hotei and Surgical Institute, and a phy- sician of large experience and practice, was the first to make up an ali extract of roots, herbs and barks, wiTH- OUT A PARTICLE OF ALCOHOL OR NAR- corics, which purifies the blood and tones up the stomach and the entire system in Nature’s own way. ‘The “Golden Medical Discovery” is just the tissue builder and tonic you require when recovering from _a hard cold, grip, or pneumonia. No matter how strong the constitution the stomach is apt to be “out of kilter” after a long, hard winter; iu consequence the blood is disordered, for the stomach is the labor- atory for the constant manufacture of blood. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- coyery strengthens the stomach—puts it in shape to make pure, rich blood—helps the liver and kidneys to expel the poi- sons from the body. If you take this NATURAL BLOOD PURIFIER AND TONIC you will assist your system in manufac- turing each day a pint of rich, arterial blood, that is stimulating to the brainand nerves. The weak, nervous, run-down, debilitated condition which so many parle experience at this time of the year is usually the effect’ of isons in the blood; it is often indicated by pimples or boils appearing on the skin, ‘the face be- comes thin—you feel “blue.” Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery cures all blood humors as well as being a tonic that makes one vigorous. strong and forceful. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery STANDS ALONE as the one medicine for stomach, liver and blood disorders that has the ingredients printed upon the wrapper of every bottie leaving the great laboratory at Buffalo, N. Y., which cures in nature’s own way; ‘not only does it STAND ALONE in respect to its ingredients but also as the onl spring tonic and reconstructive which absolutely contains no alcohol. “I was taken with a severe cough, weak- ness in my back, a ‘glimmer’ over the eyes, had @ bad breath, and stomach was out of order,” writes H, Gaddis, of 1423 South Tanne Avenue, Tacoma, Wash. “I felt sluggish, did not care for anything, had no life, it was almost misery to move, appetite very poor. I read Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser and went right away and purchased two bottles of his ‘Golden Medical Discoy- ery,’ and before I had taken all of one bottle I felt better.

Devote Themselves to Useful Pursuits. “The secret of Japan's wonderful success,” said a globe trotter, “lies, perhaps, in this: Whereas, the richest and best born and most powerful of other nations’ young men give them- selves over to frivolity and idleness, the flower of the young men of Japan work, work, work. In the pleasure cities of the world—at Monte Carlo, in Paris, in Algiers, in Ostend, in Cairo—you will find young grand dukes from Russia, young baronets and lords from England, all gambling, motoring, ski-ing, yachting, dining and what not. But do you find among them—I don’t mean now only, but ever —have you ever seen among them any of the young princes and earls and millionaires of Japan? No, indeed. Those young men have been working in our universities, working in our machine shops, working in our chemi- cal laboratories—working, working. “How well this speaks for Japan’s future! What a warning it is to the rest of the nations of the world! For if this noble energy continues in the youth of Japan from the lowest to the highest one of two things will happen—either Japan will far outstrip the other nations or else the other nations’ young men, too, from the low- est to the highest, will have to aban- don their sports and their dissipations ‘and turn themselves resolutely to la- bor for the public good.” He Meant Ali Right. In connection with the annual spring exposition of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, which drew only the other day to so successful a close, Philadelphians are hearing a story which is almost too good to be true—though it arrives well vouched for. According to this the young and de- cidedly pretty wife of one of the un- successful applicants for admission to the gallery’s walls called upon a cer- tain highly talented and well known member of the jury to plead her hus- ‘band’s cause. She was sincere; she was eloquent; the great man’s heart was touched—but what could he do, for he remembered only too well the huge and glaringly colored canvas which had been turned down. At last he said: “Madam, go back and tell your good husband that when he will send us in a picture as small and as charming as pretty and well painted, as you—” There the story ends, with not a word as to what followed the speech. —Philadelphia Ledger. ‘One of the Stages. Over in New Hope, .rk., last week the farmers of Green county held a meeting of the Educational and Co-op- erative association for the purpose of electing delegates to the state conven- tion to be held in Hot Springs. Among the prominent men in attendance was Gen. N. Y. Crowley of Independence, who is making the race for railroad commissioner. While the session of farmers was under way a New Hope maid with musical talents in the bud opened up a piano across the way and began that process known as cultivat- ing the voice. “For goodness sake,” exclaimed Gen. Crowley, “what noise is that?” “Gently, General,” exclaimed Will Burton of Caddo township, who had just been elected one of the delegates. “That noise is from a young lady who is having her voice cultivated.” “Cultivated, huh,” said the general; “then it is evident the process of cul- tivation has reached the harrowing stage.”—Memphis Commercial Appeai. Haly's Industrial Advance. Not many people in the United States are fully aware of how rapidly Italy ts advancing in industrial impor- tance. In some way northern Italy has in the last ten years shown as promising development in an indus- trial way as is to be found anywhere in Burope. The never-failing water supply of the snow-topped mountains is being utilized by the electrical en- gineers in a way which promises to convert northern Italy into a great in- dustrial state. Nowhere in Europe is there a population better fitted to aid in an industrial development. The people are dexterous, quick to learn and industrious, and up to the present time the general wage scale compares favorably with that of any competitors which they have to meet. The result of these favorable conditions has been, for instance, the development of the silk industry at a rate which sounds like statistics of American indus- trial growth.—Scribner’s. Misinformed. A member of a temperance society heard of a man in the southern part of the city whose wife, in popular par- lance, “had driven him to drink.” The advocate decided to call on the inebri- ate and his wife and to plead with him to give up drink. The. evening she called she did not find the toper at home, but the temperance worker and his wife talked on other topics. At! last she asked the woman if it was true that her husband was driven to drink. “Driven to drink!” was the answer to the surprised white ribboner’s ques- tion, “why, no, my man is willing to walk, no matter how far he has to ga | to get it."—Philadelphia Ledger. The Question. L “He was very rich, and, as is not so ‘unusual as some think, he was suc- cessful in love. At last he had found his ideal. She was gay, frivolous and poor, and she: loved the great world and its ways. Money was an object to her. There are many who do not dif- fer from her very widely. The day for the wedding was set and he began to grow careless. She did not, be- cause she had always been so. One day they quarreled and she said some things to him that set him to asking questions of his friends. Then he came to see her again. He was in a bad humor. “So,” he said, harshly, “you are like most women.” “I hope so,” she replied. He wasn’t expecting that answer. “You are like them in loving mon- ey,” he continued. “Well, and what of it?” she ques- tioned, with scorn. “Everything,” he said, angrily. “You accepted me because I am rich, and are to marry me for my money.” It was a home thrust, and the girl blushed and hung her head. “Answer me,” he commanded. “An- swer me, 1 say. Would you marry me if I had no money?” The girl’s wits returned on the in- stant. “Good gracious, Mr. Cashinhand,” she exclaimed, “you don’t think I'd marry a man without one redeeming trait, do you?” And Mr. C was sorry he hadn’t stopped before he began. Private Car Lines. The railroads seem very willing to have the private car lines brought under the jurisdiction of the Inter- state Commerce Commission. A rail- road president is authority for the statement that lines are paid mileage, without discrimination, and the ques- tion of excessive charges is a matter for the shipper to settle with the car lines, so long as there is no law to govern their rates. Car mileage pay- ing has been decided to be as legal as the payment of rental for property. Thought He Knew Her.

Actual Sterility in Women Is Very Rare—Healthy Mothers and Children Make Happy Homes. Many women long for a child to bless their homes, but because of some de- bility or displacement of the female organs they are barren. Preparation for healthy maternity is accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound more successfully than by any other medicine, because it gives tone and strength to the entire female organism, curing all displace- ments, ulceration and inflammation. A woman who is in good physical condition transmits to her children the blessings of a good constitution. Is not that an incentive to prepare for a healthy maternity ? # expectant mothers would fortify themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham’‘s Vegetable Compound, which for thirty years has sustained thousands of women in this condition, there would be a great decrease in miscarriages, in suffering, and in disappointments at birth.

Glover, Vice-President of Milwaukee Business Woman’s Associa- tion, of 614 Grove Street, Milwaukee, | Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “‘T was married for several years and no} children blessed our home.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound.” Mrs. Mae P. Wharry, Secretary of the North Shore Oratorical Society, The Norman, Milwaukee, Wis., writes, Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “T was married for five years and gave birth to two premature children. Lydia EB. Pinkbam’s Vegetable Compound was recom- mended to me, and I am so glad I took it, for it changed me from a weak, nervous woman to a strong, happy and healthy one within seven months.
