some cases women, who endeavor to pro-
tect their property in open day, are in
suited with ungentlemanly epithets.
There seems to be among parents want

some instances it must be brought to
their attention.

OH! FOR STRONG NERVES.
What Does That Dreadful Feeling
Mean
Can it be That Insanity is Staring
Me in the Face ?
That Tired and Exhausted Feeling
NHo~~e MAYO thar VIII ThIrk

Tho nervous system is fearfully deli
cate. 1t is easily derangod, and when ii
is, beware. The symptoms are debility,
tired feeling, inability for much work,
trembling, anxiety, depression of mind,
nervousness and often sleeplessness and
dull feeling in the morning.
These lead to nervous prostration, par
alysis OF insanity. You run a terrible
risk in neglecting any of these symptoms.
You can be cured now. If you neglect
yourself you will soon become ahopeless
wreck, as Mrs. W. A. Tinkham, of Stowe,
Vt, did. She writes the following about
herself:
About six months ago 1 found my
self in an extreme nervous condition.
This had been gradually growing upon
me for several years and l cannot tell
what suffered, it was beyond descrip-
ton. 1 got no rest or sleep nights and
my work was done in constant agony
81 imagined there was some impend-
ing evil constantly hanging over me and
could not rid myself of the idea that in
sanity was in store for me. l knew bet
ter than TO do lots of things that did do
but could not help it.
Il was indeed wreck and was on the
point of giving up in despair. l employ
ed physicians who did me no good and
my condition continually grew worse.

their home, on Wednesday. The house
was artistically decorated with flowers,
from field and garden. Conspicuous
among the decorations were the figures
'1S44' in silver, and "189F' in gold,
which met the view of the friends on en-
tering the house. While the latch
string has always been out, through the
many years of their welded life, on this
occasion the door stood ajar. The
spacious rooms were we'll filled by the
guests, early. The elderly ones came

fond remembrance. More than $50
were realized from all sources,
S52. so being in gold. The afternoon was
spent in happy converse and all seemed
anxious to make the occasion fitting
one. Joy from the hearts of the aged
bride and groom shone forth to Him
who rules over all, and they were repaid,
who, by act or deed, made the occasion
SO pleasant and profitable. After refresh
ments of silver and gold cake were
served, Rev. P. S. Pratt made the presen-
tation, prefxed by appropriate re-

A TEST or BEAUTY.
Only the iFalrest and Freshest
Faces can Stand 1t.

Next time you go to party, watch some Of the
women as they stand under the chandeliers. No
tice how light shining from above brings out
unsupported lines and angels in all but the young
est and freshest faces. 1t is q severe test Of
beauty.
Perhaps you will wonder at the number of thin
lanky women. They all want to be plump Why
are they not' They get enough to eat, surely
Oh, yes, but they don't digest their food. and
there's no fire without consL mption of fuel. A
pr-edigested food called Paskola is welcomed by
these women. They find in it flesh-formlng prop
perties
They are told that it is nourishment, not medi.
cine, and thas its good effects are lasting. Such
letters as this one tell the story:
"Gentlemen-For the past five years have
suffered from gastric indigestion and have tried
all socalled remedies for indigestion, besides
courses of treatment from from physicians all
over the country, from which l received only
temporary relief. My symptoms were heartburn,
Pushes of heat, dizziness, bloated feeling after
eating, depression of spirits severe and acute at.
tacks of cramps and Inflammation and chronic
constipation.
"About two months ago I resolved to give Pas.
kola a trial. although without any faith in it, ow-
ing to my past experience with so called RENE
dies for indigestion. After taking one small sbot.
tie of Paskoa felt better, very much better. I
have now taken only seven small bottles and
have meyer felt better in my life. L have gained
ten pounds and now eat a nything that my appe-
tite Graves. All my friends say, why, how fat
and well you look; what have you been doingf,
My answer is always, "Paskola," A friend OF
mine has taken only three small bottles and says
she feels like a new woman. This may seem
rather fulsom praise, but conscienuously feel
that 1 cannot say too much in praise of Paskola.
Yours respectfully.

city of the so cents.
