When a cheerful, brave and light-hearted woman is sud-
denly plunged into that perfection of misery, the blues, it is
a sad picture.
It is usually this way :
She has been feeling out of sorts for some time, experi-
encing severe headache and backache; sleeps very poorly
and is exceedingly nervous.
Sometimes she is nearly overcome by faintness, dizzi-
ness, and palpitation of the heart; then that bearing-down
feeling is dreadfully wearing.
Her husband says, “Now, don't get the blues! You will
be all right after you have taken the doctor's medicine.”
But she does not get ail right. She grows worse day by
day, until all at once she realizes that a distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor has made a mistake.
She loses faith ; hope vanishes ; then comes the morbid,
melancholy, everlasting blues. She should have been told
just what the trouble was, but probably she withheld some
information from the doctor, who, therefore, is unable to
accurately locate her particular illness.
Mrs. Pinkham has relieved thousands of women from
fist this kind of trouble, and now retains their grateful
etters in her library as proof of the great assistance she has
rendered them. is same assistance awaits every sick
woman in the land.
Mrs. Winifred Allender’'s Letter.
“Dean Mas. Prvgmam:—I feel it my duty to write
and tell you of the benefit I have received from vour
wonderful remedies. Before taking Lydia BE. Pink«
ham’s Vegetable Compound, | was a misery to my-
self and every one around me. I suffered terrible
pain in my back, head, and right side, was very
nervous, would cry for hours. Menses would appear
sometimes in two weeks, then again uot for three
or four months. I was so tired and weak, could not
sleep nights, sharp pains would dart through my
heart that would almost cause me to fall.
“My mother coaxed me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. 1 had no faith in it, but to
please her I did so. The first bottle helped me so
much that I continued its use. I am now well and
weigh more than I ever did in my life."—MRS.

I'HE IMPORTANCE OF BREED
Experienced dairymen declare that it
costs no more for the food consumed by
a cow that produces 300 pounds of butter
per year than for one producing 150
pounds. The two kinds of cows will eat
about the same quantity of food, but one
will convert food into milk and
butter than the other. This fact demon
strates the importance of the breed. The

Therefore build a tool house. If you
cannot afford to put up shelter of some

afford to own them. Shelter your tools.
Again in many instances farmers who
have no tool house are obliged to run
their Linders and rakes into the barn or
stable, where they are much in the way

are often left out until long after done

It has been demonstrated in a great
many experiments that plants have their
preferences of food, and that for a farmer
to attempt to feed all kinds of crops with
only one kind of food would be to incur!
a loss. Plants also utilize certain foods
| at different stages of growth. Nitrogen
promotes rapid leaf growth, but at ma-
turity, when the seed is forming, phos.
phoric acid is essential. When the land
is Jacking in any particular element the
farmer must supply it or the crop will |
be deficient, according to the deficiency |
of the desired element. With garden |
crops the farmer undertakes to grow
early plants and as rapidly as possible.
To succeed he must not be too econom- |
ical with nitrogen, no matter how rich
his soil may be, for the experiments men-
tioned above, with some ¢rops, show that;
not only is the cost of the nitrogen re- |
turned, but a profit over the expense as |
well, with the advantage of larger yields, |
better product and earlier use, which
points of excellence are very important

A beautiful steel buckle of five

course, the first requisite in these
belts. Then cames the ribbon which,

off by gem-set buckles and floating
taffeta and chiffon-sash effects. These |
girdles will give many a touch of nov- |
elty, for they are already to be seen
in all the models of the best dressmak- |
ers on this side. i
Some new belt effects are already

an idea of novelty--that a new back,
a new belt and a new vest may mean
much to a costume.
The new girdle belt is really an in-
novation and extremely well suited to
the present demands of fashion. What
with the proper gored skirt and the
long waisted front effect, why should
not an accessory so stunning in de
tail and so novel be welcomed as a
boon companion, a friend and a revela-.

Dogs as Regular Boarders,

St. Louis, Mo., the other day, it was re-
solved to admit dogs as regular boarders,
Technically the terms upon which the dog
is to be received make him a guest, as his
master it required to pay for the dog's
board or lodging. This sum is fixed hy
circumstances, in which the size of the
dog and the cleanliness of his appearance
are important factors. When the master
is ready to give up his apartments he is
obliged to allow an augers af the hotel to
inspect them to see that the animal has
not damaged the carpets, furniture, etc,
