Like a Young bird 8nd gulp down what-

Or, do you want to know something of the

you take into your stomach whether as

Most intelligent and sensible people
mow-a-days insist on knowing what they
employ whether as food or as medicine.

right to insist upon such knowledge. So he

nesses, irregularities and derangements,
giving rise to frequent headaches, back-
ache, dragging-down pain or distress in
fower abdominal or pelvic region, accom-
panied, ofttimes, with a debilitating,
pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred symp-
toms of weakness, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription is a most efficient remedy.
Jt is equally effective in curing painful
periods, in giving strength to nursing
mothers and in preparing the system of
the expectant mother for baby’s coming,
thus rendering childbirth safe and com-
paratively painless. The “Favorite Pre-

Playing in the Dark.
Because they have no sight and
must cultivate the sense of feeling,
the blind are peculiarly sensitive in
touch. . The average piano student
can profit by this knowledge and help
himself more than he realizes by a
few minutes of nightly practice with-
out artificial light. Try going to the
piano when the lights are low, or not
burning at all, says a writer in the
Etude. Run over the scales in con-
secutive order. Then: play the ar-
peggios and running chords of the
dominant seventh and diminished
fifth. Then 'let yourself go on the
pieces you have memorized. You will
find yourself musically awakened, for
You can hear better when you are
not distracted by what you see, and
your touch will become more firm
and sure and your dependence on
printed notes will gradually grow
less.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup-
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, an
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

stitutional cureon the market. It is takenin-

_ SKIN SORE FOR EIGHT YEARS
Spent $300 on Doctors and Remedies,
But Got No Relief—Cuticura
Cures in a Week.
“Upon the limbs and between the toes
my skin was rough and sore, and also sore
under the arms. I had to stay at home
several times because of this affection. Up
to a week or so ago I had tried many other
remedies and several doctors, and spent
about three hundred dollars, without any
success, but this is to-day the seventh day
that I -have been using the Cuticura
Remedies (costing a dollar and a half),
which have cured me completely, so that
I can again attend to my business. I went
to work again to-night. I had been suffer-
ng for eight years and have now been cured
by the Cuticura Remedies within a week.

Tells a Story of Awful Suffering and
Wonderful Relief.
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:
ed 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.”

"WORTHY OF EDISON,
A. O. Leonard’s Patent Marvellous-
ly Successful.
New York.—The press in this city and
throughout the world have recently drawn
attention to an antiseptic invisible ear
drum, resembling a miniature megaphone, }
for deafness, head-noises and kindred affec-
tions. Not a day passes without the in-
stant relief of cases which have heretofore
found no help. Mr. Leonard for more than
thirty years was a very deaf man. Instead
of giving up when specialists and various,
devices had failed to aid him, he succeeded
in developing this marvellous little drum,
with which he can now hear distinctly.
He put the drums on the mawrket four
weeks ago. Last week every pair had been
sold, so great has been the success of the
inventign: Saturday he received another
consignment, which is being rapidly ex-
hausted, but before another week passes
he hopes to have an ample supply.
Information is gladly given to all who
write to him at his office, 1171 Broadway,
Suite 231, New York City,and most search-
ing investigation welcomed. There is no
invisible device which can show the re-
sults of this invention.
The population of London is rapidly
reaching the 7,000,000 mark.

The Pepper Sandwich.

the virtue of a pepper sandwich. It
is easily prepared before bedtime,
and should stand on a plate within
reach of the victim’s hand. Cut a
thin slice of bread from a previously
buttered loaf. Sprinkle it with red
pepper, divide it in two, and lay the
buttered sides together. Eat it slow-
ly, and moisten. the throat with a
drink of cold water. The nourish-
ment and stimulus of this sandwich,
in nine out of ten cases ¢f insomnia,
will induce refreshing sleep.—Chris-

Chicken Chowder.

In the bottom of the pot in which
you expect to make your chowder fry
six slices of fat pork crisp, remove
to the pot, with their own fat. Cover
this with a layer of chicken, cut up
small, a layer of each of potatoes,
:liced, onions, also sliced, small oyvs-
ter crackers, tomatoes and some
chopped parsley. Alternate these
‘ayers until the pot is three-quarters
full. Pour in enough cold water to
cover all, and have a kettle of boiling
water ready to replenish the liquid
as it boils away. Care is necessary
in this matter. Stew gently for an
hour. When thoroughly cooked turn
into a tureen, adding a cupful of rich
milk, and serve very hot, with toasted
bread. If salt pork is not liked but-
ter may be used instead, being care-
ful that this does not burn. Codfish
‘chowder may be made in the same
way, using the fish instead of the
chicken.— American Cultivator.

DEVELOPS SLOWLY
Unusual Weather Retards Movement
of Spring Wares to a Con-
siderable Extent.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s “Weekly Review
of Trade” says:
Spring wade develops slowly be:
cause of unseasonable weather, but
the lost ground will be recovered in
large meacure when normal tempera-
ture prevails. Cold weather has
prevailed over an unusually large
area, retarding agricultural progress
as well as trade in the light wearing
apparel’ and other spring goods, but
similar bad starts in other years
have somctimes brought most of the
favorable results.
The only actual damage of any ac-
count is reported in some winter
wheat fields in the Southwest, where
insects and drouth combined to in-
jure grain, and on most of this area
some other crop has been planted.
Wholesale business for later sea-
sons is on a liberal scale, but opera-
tions are active and leading manu-
facturing plants are busy. Few labor
struggles retard work in the indus-
tries, and an unusually small number
of strikes are scheduled for May.
Little complaint is heard regarding
freight blockades, and with the re-
sumption of lake navigation on the
Northern border, traffic conditions
wili soon be entirely satisfactory.
Quiet conditions in the pig iron
market were to be expected after the
large sales of last week, and produc-
tion has been sold so far ahead that
quotations are fully maintained.
Leading furnace interests have sold
their output up to the end of the
year, but some smaller producers
still accept orders for delivery dur-

FININCE MOTRIOE BEI, THE CHANGE OF LIF
el,
Sensible Advice to Women from [lirs. Henry Lee,
irs. Fred Certia and [lrs. Pinkham.
MRS HENRY LEE
Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand ap-
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this period
likely to become active and with a
host of nervousirritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of im-
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
inegularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly heeded by intel-
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this great
change may be expected.
Mrs. Fred Certia, 1014 So. Lafayette
Street, So. Bend, Ind., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :—
“Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound is the ideal medicine for women who
MRS. FRED CERTIA
are passing through Change of Life. For
several months I suffered from hot flashes,
extreme nervousness, headache and sleep-
lessness.. I had no appetite and could not
sleep. I had made op my mind there was
no help for me until I began to wse Lydia
Pinkham'’s Vegetable Compound, my
bad symptoms ceased, and it brought me
safely through the danger period, built
up my system and I am in excellent health.
I consider Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound unshrp ares for women during
this trying period of life.” . ~
Mrs. Henry Lee, 60 Winter Street,
New Haven, Conn., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :—
t‘After suffering untold miser:
