Mrs. Helen f. Sterrett, in a recent num-

entitled " Housekeeping in the Future"
In il she tells how in few years electricity
will supply light Tor the home, the family

and there will be SO little work in the
household that the occupation oil the do

But Mrs. sterretts article is simply

interest for the ladies who live in 1890.

result is terrible. Headaches, backaches,

Their nerves are in such condition
that very slight causes, or perhaps no cause
at all, may irritate them. Life grows to lie
burden. There is no need for despair,
but there is great need Of caution. Their
nerves should be built mp, life fortified,
and brain restored with that remarkable
preparation, Paine's Celery Compound.
Instead OF the depressed and languid feel

they will feel active, vigorous, and happy.
To these who are weak and falling, and
desire health and happiness instead Of i'll
ness and misery, we earnestly urge thai
they act upon this advice.
