Della Fox, when run down" from
overwork, by the advice of the wife of
a U. S. senator in Washington, tried
Paine's celery compound. She says:
My spirits picked up and at the end
of two weeks the same old eXuberant
health with which nature blessed me
had returned.
Il ate and slept as I had not done
since l was a child, and L ha re never
known since then an hours 'nconVen-
fence from nervous prostratiol.
1.-The medicine to which 1 owe so
much is Paine's celery compound, and
have recommendeditto all of my stage
acquaintances who have overtaXed
their brains by too close attention to
study, and all have experienced the
same happy results as myself
Marie Tempest also, and a host more
of the most eminent artists who ap-
pear before the public, have recently
testified to the wonderful reinvigorat-
ing power of Paine's celery compound
Their testimony is noteworthy because
no class of women work harder or
are under greater nervous strain.
Women in every walk of life have
reason to be grateful to Prof. Phelps,
of Dartmouth, who discovered Paine's
celery compound. He understood the
peculiar weakness of the sex. He
knew that the backache, lassitude
headache, sleeplessness, and loss of ap=
petite all mean that the supply of ner-
vous force is low and inadequate to
the demands upon it. The expert
ence of thousands has taught the
women of the country that only Paines
celery compound will give health to
the nerves, and, through them, to the
entire body. \

A Married Mans Rights.

Philadelphia Times.
81 say said a friend the other day,
''you are an old hand at it. l have only
just got married and don't understand
much about the business. I should like
to know whether a married man has
any rights left when he takes unto
himself a wife?''
Rights? Yes, lots. He has right
to pay all the bills"
stop! 1 mean this. Let me give you
an instance. Every box, every chest
of drawers and portmanteau, and, in
fact, every available receptacle of
every description is stuffed full of my
wife's property, and when I want to
put away a few cuffs and collars"
Hold hard. 1 know what you mean.
Listen, young man. If your bedroom
were 200 yards long, lined from the floor
to the ceiling with shelves, and you
wanted a place to stow away couple
of shirts, you couldn't find a nook
that wasn't full of hairpins, old false
fronts, scent bottles, odd gloves, pow
der puffs, little bits of tape-so just ac-
cept the inevitable. Wrap your per-
sonal property in an old newspaper
parcel and hide it under the bed.' q
He grinned ironically, but passed on

The play Is done, the curtain drops,
Slow falling to the prompters bell;
A moment yet the actress stops and
looks around to say farewell.
1t is an irksome word and task,
And when she's laughed and said her
say,
She shows as she removes her mask
face that's anything but gay.
Acting is not all gaiety, lights, and
applause.
There is a deal of drudgery, veXa-
ton, and heartache that the people in
the front of the house little imagine.
Mary Anderson used to advise young
stage-struck girls to keep off the stage.
The feverish excitement, the late hours,
the drudgery of rehearsals, the unnat-
ural stimulus from new audiences, RI
valry and applause, make the life full
of perils to health of mind and body.
The careless theater-going public have
no notion of the strain on the nerves
that is inseparable from a dramatic
career.
But members of the profession
know what it is, and they have, as
body, learned how best to keep their
nervous systems strong and capable OF
doing the hard work demanded OF
them That is why Paine's celery
compound is so popular on the stage.
