JOYS OF MATERNITY 1 WOMAN'S BEST HOPES REALIZED Mrs- Potts Telia How Woman Should Prepare for Motherhood The darkest days of husband and wife are when they come to look for ward to child less and lonely old ape. Many a wife has found herself inca pable of motherhood owing to a dis placement of the womb or lack of strength in the generative organs. Frequent backache and distressing pains, accompanied by offensive dis charges and generally by irregular and scanty menstruation indicate a dis placement or nerve degeneration of the womb and surrounding organs. The question that troubles women Is how can a woman who has some fe male trouble bear healthy children? Mrs. Anna Potts, of .110 i'ark Avenue, Hot Springs, Ark., writes: llv Dear Mrs. Pinkham: During the early part of my married life I was delicate in health ; Iwtta my husband and I were very anxious for a child to bless our home, but I had two miscarriages, and could not carry a child to maturity. A neighbor who had been cured by LydiaE. Piiikh.im'8 Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. I did so and soon folt that I was growing stronger, my headaches nnd backaches left me, f had no more bearing-down pains, and felt like a new women. Within a year I became the mother of a strong, healthy child, the Joy of our home. Lydia E. Fink ham's Vegetable Compound is certainly a splendid remedy, and I wish every woman wbo wants to become a mother would try it." , Actual sterility in woman is very rare.

Precautions Some Hotel Keepers Are 'Obliged to Take With Their Guests. Pass keys to rooms are not the on ly kind used in hotels. Porters are also provided with keys that will op en any trunk lock. This Is necessary to keep the guests from accumulating souvenirs in such numbers that the hotels would) suffer. Then tendency to col lect souvenirs always develops most rapidly in hotels because of tho be lief that they can be carried away without danger of detection. "I cannot always tell what trunks to open," the proprietor of an uptown hotel said to a Sun reporter the oth er day. "So there are occasional col lections that get by me. But I rarely miss the heavy takers. "Only last week the housekeeper called the attention of the proprietor to the great demand for linen that came from a certain woman guest. 8he bad been in the hotel nearly a year, occupying a suite with a sitting room and spending plenty or money on food and livery. "The suspicion that she might be taking the sheets, towels and pillow eases that were disappearing so rapidly seemed improbable in the highest degree. Suddenly she noti fied us that she was going to leave. "Well, I opened her trunks with my skeleton key. They were all go ing to her sister's house down on the Jersey coast. That turned out to be a boarding house which the woman had just opened. "In the trunks was all the missing linen. The name of the house had been carefully removed from all ot it, but there was no uncertainly about the Identification. "We just took out the linen and sent tbe trunks along. Of course we never heard of tho woman again. She was rich enough to buy all the linen sb wanted." New York Sun. Paylnrj the' Parson. There was a wedding party in East Washington the other evening at which the bridegroom Is said to have "queered" himself, to the mortifica tion of his new wife nnd her relatives. The marriage ceremony was perform ed in the parlors of the minister, as tho young man declared he was averse to public displays in such matters. Af ter the preacher had pronounced the twain husband and wife tho bride groom handed him a $3 bill and then remained In a:i attitude of waiting. "Come on, David," said the new wife, impatiently, as the young man continued to follow the minister about the apartment. "What in the world are you waiting for?" "Waiting for my change, of course," was tho reply. "How much did you hand the preacher?" asked the wife. "Five dollars." "Then there w ill be no change," re plied the wife. "Five dollars is little enough for a marriage fee." "I don't think so," rejoined the hus band. "Five long green Is too much of a fee to pay a preacher for saying a few words and' wishing you a happy life and prosperity. But then, I do not know anything about such things. You see, this is the first time I was ever married." Washington Star. Animals and Men. With all wild animals, it is a notice able fact that a course of contact with man continuing over many genera tions of animal life causes a species so to adapt itself to its new surround ings that it can hold its own far bet ter than formerly. -When white men take up a new country, the game, and especially the big game, being entire ly unused to qontid with the new foe, succumb easily,, and are almost completely killed off. If any indiv iduals survive at all, however, the suc ceeding generations are far more dif ficult to exterminate than were their ancestors, and they cling much more tenaciously to their old homes. The game to be found in old and long-settled countries Is, of course, much more wary and able to take care ot Itself than the game of an untrodden wilderness; it is the wilderness life, far more than the actual killing of the wilderness game, which tests the abil ity of the wilderness hunter.

The Improvement set In very soon after I made tbe change. Just as soon as the coffee poison bad time to work out of uiy system.

The persistent use of the musclar system is well calculated to relive the brain and nervous system of their ten sion. It is also true that manual work pleases and satisfies the mind when its results are good. All this becomes clearer when we realize how vainly we may seek relief from nervous fa tigue in physical rest or even In re creations of the ordinary sort. The quiet room or tbe quiet hillside, so suggestive of rest and peace these are too often important in the pre sence of carking care. One reason for this failure is that the brain and the body are commonly not tired in what is called nervous exhaustion, but are only Irritated, while the sense of fa tigue, which Is so misleading, is merely the result of that irritation and may be termed a physic fatigue. Under these circumstances It is easy to understand that it Is change, not necessarily physical rest, which Is so sorely needed. Good Housekeeping. A Modern Touch.
