A Word to Our Florida Girls.
WHAT WILL YOU MAKE OF YOURSELVES /?


away to school" said bright girl to me
one day, and the sigh which accompanied
the remark was very expressive, "but
there is no use in wishing, she said, and
that ends it," MARY" said 1, why not
educate yourself? In no way have my
sympathies been more strongly enlisted
than for young girls like you of very linn
tied means, who are eagerly striving for
an education. You have had only the
advantages of the simple country schools
of your neighborhood. The little taste of
knowledge there acquired of the elemen-
tary principles OF reading, writing and
arithmetic, has only sharpered your ap-
petite for higher education which seems
to you impossible to obtain. But not
withstanding all, educate yourself. You
can do it. | once knew of lady, though
unable to obtain finished education at
school, and without a natural taste for
reading, acquired that taste by persever-
ance and became one of the best informed
women of our country. Such an oppor-
tunity is offered to you. We live in an
age when an uneducated woman is as
much of mistake as an uneducated man;
neither one or the other can be tolerated
nowadays.
Do you know the worlds eye rests on
Florida? 1t takes no wide stretch OF
imagination to predict what Florida will
become during the next decade. Note
this rapid immigration, this network of
railroads, which of necessity are great
educators, the buzz and whir Of modern
improvements, colossal in their magni-
tude, these embryo orange groves, count
ing up into the thousands, which are con-
stantly changing their owners; all of this
will soon be managed by the young peo
pie of Florida. venture to say that it
will take rather more than an ordinary
boy and girl to be equal to the emergency
of Florida's future. And the question, are
you getting ready for it, is vital one,
which must be answered by the girls as
well as the boys. AS this is to be very
practical talk, let us see what encourage
ment we can give you.
You say you are compelled to be one of
the "bread winners" of the family and
obliged to leave school perhaps for
hard work in the kitchen. 1t was great
sorrow to you, but you need not make it
such sore disappointment. The Lord
knew what delicious bread and jellies you
could make, how nicely you could broil
steak what tidy practical housekeeper
you could become, SO he gave you that
position. 1t was humbling to your pride
and ambition for you hoped to become
teacher but here let me say that first
class housekeepers and cooks are in far
greater demand than seconnd rate teach
ers. Only make the very best use of the
opportunities within your reach, and
your education will go on in much more
practical and useful way.
just now used the word ''opportuni
ties''' What a prolific, satisfactory pos
sessive word that isl Opportunities that
all can have for the taking, if you only
keep your eyes and ears open. Should
you be SO fortunate as to be in the en-
ploy of some intelligent and cultured fam
lily, you should prize the position as one

There always is. She is the power be-

HE TOOK THE WRONG MEDICINE


Robert Stewart of Petaluma recently had q
queer experience. He writes:
'Carbuncles and boils afflicted my face and
neck for weeks. Finally procured bottle of
one of the leading sarsaparillas. To my sur
prise it made matters worse. This made me
lose faith in sarsaparillas, but seeing state
ment that joys Vegetable Sarsaparila dried up
boils and face eruptions instead of forcing more
out as the potash sarsaparillas do, I bought a
bottle. The effect was astonishing. The car
buncles and boils began to dry up, and in two
weeks my face was as we'll and smooth as ever
My brother also took a bottle with the same
benefit ROBERT STEWART,
"Petaluma Cal"
Explanatory Note The mineral iodide of
potash, which is the basis of nearly all other
sarsaparillas, attacks the blood direct, hence
forces impurities through the skin, creating
more boils and pimples. joys Vegetable Sar-
saparilla acts oppositely. Its vegetable altera-
tiyes stimulate the various secretiye organs and
thus eliminate all impurities through the nat
ural channels, hence dries up pimples and skin
eruptions at once. The above testimonial is q
case in point
