_ CRISIS OF GIRLHOOD
A TIME OF PAIN AND PERIL
Miss Emma Cole Says that Lydia B.
Pinkham'’s Vegetable Compound has
Saved Her Life and Made Her Well.
How many lives of beautiful young
girls have been sacrificed just as they
were ripening into womanhood! How
many irregularities or displacements
have been developed at this important
period, resulting in years of suffering!
A mother should come to her child's
aid at this critical time and remember
that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound will prepare the system for
the Soming change and start this try-
ing period in a young girl's life without
pain or irregularities.
Miss Emma Cole of Tullahoma, Tenn.,
writes: :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
+1 want to tell you that I am enjoying bet-
ter health than I have for Years, and I owe
#t all to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound.
‘ When fourteen years of age I suffered al-
most constant pain, and for two or three
ears 1 had soreness and painin my side
hes and was dizzy and nervous, and
doctors all failed to help me.
“Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
was recommended, and after taking it m
health began to improve rapidly, and I thin
it saved my life. I sincerely hope my experi-
ence will be abelp to other girls who are pass-
from girthood to womanhood, for I know
your Compound will do as much for them.”
If you know of any young girl who is
sick and needs motherly advice ask her
to write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass.,
and she will receive free advice which
will put her on the right road to a
strong, healthy and happy womanhood.

ULCERS IN EYES.
Awful Discharge From Eyes and Nose
Grateful Mother Stromgly Rec-
ominends Cuticura.
*T used the Cuticura Remedies eight
years ago for my little boy wko had ulcers
in the eyes, which resulted from vaccina-
tion. His face and nose were in a bad
state also. At one time we thought he
would lose his sight forever, and at that
time he was in the hospital for seven or
eight months and under specialists. The
discharges from the eyes and nose were
bad and would have left scars, I feel sure,
had it not been for the free use of the
Cuticura Remedies. But through it all
we used tne Cuticura Soap, Ointment and
Resolvent, and lots of it, and I feel grate-
ful for the benefit he received from them.
The Cuticura Resolvent seemed to send
the trouble out, the Ointment healed it
outwardly, and the Soap cleansed and
healed both. He is entirely cured now,
but since then I have bought the Cuticura
Resolvent to cleanse and purify the blood,
and the Soap I cannot speak too highly of
as a cleansing and medicinal beautifier.

Extermination of Lions.
Just as the buffalo has been ex-
terminated from our great western
plains, so lions are disappearing from
India before the rifle of the hunter
and the ax and plow of the farmer.
In Kathiawar, whose forests have
furnished one of the last retreats of
the retiring king of beasts, an at-
tempt is being made to save the ani-
mals from complete extinction = by
prohibiting lion-hunting during a per-
jod of six years. It is said, however,
that the gradual clearing away of the
forests will in itself result in the
extermination of the lions.
A MISSOURI WOMAN
Tells a Story of Awful Suffering and
Wonderful Relief.
Mrs. J. D. Johnson, of 603 West
Hickman St., Columbia, Mo., says:
“Following an operation two years
ago, dropsy set in,
and my left side was
so swollen the doctor
said he would have to
tap out the water.
There was constant
pain and a gurgling
sensation around my
heart, and I could not
raise my arm above
my head. The kid-
ney action was disor-
dered and passages of the secretions
too frequent. On the advice of my
husband I began using Doan’s Kidney
Pills. Since using two boxes my
trouble has not reappeared. This is
wonderful, after suffering two years.”

Lion tamers frequently perfume
themselves with lavender. There is,
it is said, no record of a lion ever
having attacked a trainer who had
taken the precaution of using this
perfume. Horses are delighted with

‘A bank note that passed through

preserved in the Bank of England.
The paper was consumed, but the
ashes held together, and the printing
is quite legible, and it is kept under
glass. The bank paid the note.
Having advertised as a widower in
search of wife No. 2, a man of St.
Gall, Switzerland, showed the fifty

had received to his wife, and, stating
that if she did not want him there
were others who did, he effectively
cured her of her ‘‘nagging” habits.
The proposed cable to Iceland is to
be laid from the Shetland Islands to
Thorshavn, in the Faroe Islands, and
thence to Seydisfjord, in Iceland.
From the latter point there is to be a
land line to Reykjavik. The cable is
not expected to be completed until
the autumn.
‘A Canadian farmer, noted for his
absent-mindedness, went to town one
the utmost precision. He started on
his way.-home, however, with the firm
conviction that he had forgotten
something—what it was he could not
recall. As he neared home the con-
viction increased, and three times he
stopped his horse and went carefully
through his pocketbook in a vain en-
deavor #0 discover what he had for-
gotten. In due course he reached
home, and was met by his daughter,
who looked at him in surprise and
exclaimed: ‘“Why, father, where have
you left mother?”
The fox is an excellent mouser. He
will lie and watch for a field mouse
in the long grass like a cat, pounce
upon it, kill it with a bite and lay it
one side until he has caught another,
when, picking them all up, as many
as he can carry in his mouth, he will
canter away with them to serve them
out to the cubs. This fact was con-
firmed by witnesses in Scotland who
were examined by a committee of the
Board of Agriculture when taking
' evidence on theoccasion of the plague
of fleld moles on the lowland sheep
farms in 1893.
BIG BUILDINGS MARKED DOWN.
Value of Great Insurance Structures
Away Below Their Cost.
The total cost. of the present
Equitable Building in New York was
$18,000,000. Its present value, on
the Equitable’s own estimate is not
more than $15,000,000. Only the
phenomenal growth in Broadway land
values has saved the policyholders
from a much greater loss.
The New York Life’s Broadway
building cost $7,121,000; the com-
pany now claims a valuation of only
$5,000,000.
The Mutual's main office building
in New York cost $17,277,000; the
Mutual has written off more than
$6,000,000 in the last seven years.
Many of the Yoreign buildings show
similar depreciation.
The Equitable’s Melbourne ‘‘adver-
tisement” cost $2,864,000; the so-
ciety at present gives it a value of
only $2,000,000.
The first New York Life building
in Paris cost $1,102,000; in 1891 the
French Government valued it at
$470,000. The present Paris build-
ing cost $2,500,000; the company
now gives it a value of $1,300,000.
The Equitable has invested $37,-
884,000 in its fifteen office build-
ings; the insurance department, in
order to give them an earning power
of three per cent., has placed the
value at $26,000,000—a loss of §11,-
500,000. Should the properties ac-
‘tually be sold, the depreciation
would probably be even larger.—

Wisdom of a Persian Judge.
Professor Williams Jackon tells in
his “Persia, Past and Present,” some
stories illustrating character in the
land of Omar Khayyam. One is of
a man, who, suffering from inflamed
eyes, went to a horse doctor for
treatment. The veterinary gave him
some of the salve that he used on
animals and the man lost his eye-
sight. He then brought suit in court
to recover damages. The Judge, af-
ter weighing the evidence in the case,
handed down his decision as follows:
“There is no damage to be recovered;
the man would never have gone to
FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
DUN’S WEEKLY SUMMARY
Movements of Merchandise Still Re-
tarded by Poor Transportation
Facilities.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of
trade says:
Trade expands under the stimulat-
ing influence of colder weather and
mercantile collections improve, al-
though rates for money continue high.
Traveling salesman send in large
orders to leading distributing points,
but movements of merchandise is
still retarded by inadequate trans-
porting facilities. Seasonable lines of
wearing apparel and holiday goods
attract most attention, while staple
articles of every description are in
steady demand. Current business is
good and prospects for the future
were never brighter; labor disputes
reach amicable settlement, in most
cases wages being advanced in numer-
ous transporting and manufacturing
indystries.
The most striking development of
the week was the unprecedented out-
put of pig iron in conjunction with
large imports and advancing prices,
indicating the greatest activity ever
attained by steel mills. Other indus-
trial reports were scarcely less grati-
fying. Prospects in the iron and steel
industry are beyond precedent. Con-
tracts cover capacity of mills far into
next year, and in some cases to 1908,
while the small tonnage that can be
delivered promptly, commands liberal
premiums.
Textile industries are active, but
the primary market for cotton goods
has quieted down after the conclus-
ion of initial purchases. New Eng-
land footwear manufacturers report
especial activity in spring lines of
men’s Oxford shoes.
The flour output continues to make
a poor comparison with the milling
returns of a year ago. An official
statement further increasing the esti-
mated corn crop prevented the cer-
eal from participating fully in the up-
ward tendency of prices.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for November
amounted to $2,326,428, of which
$883,501 were in manufacturing, $1,
362,346 in trading and $80,581 in
other commercial lines.

A Well-Known Remedy.
One of the oldest, safest and most fa-
vorably known remedies in the world to-
day is Brandreth’s Pills—a blood urifier
and laxative. Being purely vegetable they
can be used by old or young with perfect
safety and while other remedies require
increased doses and finally cease acting
altogether, with Brandreth’s Pills the same
dose always has the same effect, no matter
how long they are taken. One or two pills
taken each night for a while 1s the best
thing known for any one troubled with
constipation, indigestion, dyspepsia or any
trouble arising from an impure state of
the bleod.
Brandreth’s Pills have been in use for
over a century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

The Survival of the Unfit.
The average baby born to-day has
a chance of reaching five years of age
better by 50 per cent than would have
been the case half a century ago. Its
prospect of escaping the diseases of
childhood and growing up is vastly
imporved, as compared with earlier
days.
Now, it is very desirable to save
the babies, and one of the greatest
triumphs of our newer civilization is
the successful rearing of three human
infants for every two that survived
half a century ago. But it is undeni-
able that the race, as a whole, suffers
by the change, inasmuch as the
weaklings, instead of being weeded
out, are thus enabled to grow up.
These weaklings not only propagate
other weaklings, but, by reason of
their inferior vigor of constitution,
commonly fail to reach old age. In
this fact, doubtless, is found one
cause of the rise in the death rate in
later life.——Dr. John V. Shoemaker in
