The most rational way of getting rid
OF rheumatism, neuralgia and insomnia
and getting back sound health Is to
husband every mite of strength and to
set about radical, all-round restoring
OF the tired system with PAine's celery
compound.
Il is your business, to furnish the body
with nervous energy, as fast and sbund-
antly as you can, and to get q richer,
purer blood supply. There ia no way in
which this restorative process oan be so
swiftly brought about as by using
Paine's Gallery com pound.
There Ia nothing known to physicians
OF the most extensive practice equal to
Paine's celery compound for PURIFYING
the blood and making strong, healthy
nerves. Uaremitting work at last
brings down the vitality OF the strongest
men and women. Everyone has felt
that ambitionless, listless feeling.
There arc many persons who manage to
keep about their business because they
are not sick abed, who are nevertheless

A Millionaire's Hard Fate.

How sadly deficient some people are
OF any sense Of humor when the subject
is themselves Take the Duke of Devon
shire, who delivered speech at the
opening of o. "Passmore Edwards
House" for epileptics So long as he
kept to the epileptics the duke managed
well enough, but before he sat down he
must needs get on the subject Of him
self and the sorrows of the poor mil
lionaire:
1T might perhaps be considered pre-
sumptuous for one who was reputed to
be rich himself to offer advice to other
rich men which he had not taken him
self or was not himself prepared to fol-
low, but perhaps he might be allowed to
point out that there was some difference
between those who happened to be in
the possession Of wealth inherited from
several generations and those who had
created their own fortunes. Their prede-
cessors. in cases like his own, had gen
orally contrived to find quite as many
channels by which wealth flowed out as
by which it flowed in, and those who
had for the benefit and advantage of
their successors created great estates, en-
failing much labor in administration
and many responsibilities, had not left
to their successors a legacy of unmitigat-
ed advantage. -

the cruel fate which compelled him to

sadly tout of health Paine's celerv
com pound exactly Ats the cases of these
uneasy, sleepless, shallow-faced men
and women. They are on the perilous
edge Of some organic disease. Paine's
celery compound will drag them back
and plant their feet squarely on firm
ground. By regulating the nervous
system and compelling the vitiated
blood to gain q larger proportion of
red corpuscles, all the organs of the
body whose business 1t ia to repair and
rebuild the tissues are aroused. Paine's
celery compound does not fail to increase
the appetite, to augment the powers of
assimilation, to increase the weight of
the body. to purify the blood and to
stop the progress of structural changes,
when liver and kidney diseases have
fastened themselves upon the system.
There Is not single city without
some perfectly attested cure of liver
or kidney disease, chronic constipa ton,
salt rheum, plaguing cessna or general
poor health, by the use of Paine's celery
compound. Impaired strength and UNI

ness of the limbs. nervousness and

weaknesses become things of the past

The nest striking personality In
Chicago, and the oldest -leal estate
dealer, is Mr.: I. A. Gilbert. Mr.. Gill
bert is now over 60 years of age; in the
SOS he was in the Rockies gold hunt
ing. Since 1868 he has handled more
property in Chicago, and is known to
more home-owners than any other man
in the business.
Mr. Gilbert at one time suffered from
rheumatism and aleeplessness. He
made trips to Hot Springs, and tried
other methods of treatment without
avail. To satisfy friend who had
taken Paine's celery compound for Sim.
liar troubles, and knew what 1t could
do, Mr.. Gilbert tried H., and but a very
short time elapsed before he was en-
tirely freed from both these troubles.
Mr.. Gilbert himself says:
Gentlemen have suffered with
rheum ssism and sleeplessness for years,
caused by exposure while prospecting
in the mountains years ago. For years
had to take electric bath massage and
take trips to Hot Springs in order to get
little sleep and relief from pain. To
cap the climax I have been suffering

HOW the Family Laundering Is Done In
TariouB Countries.


The hardest worked washerwomen in
the world are the Koreans. They have
to wash about a dozen dresses for their
husbands, and, inasmuch as every man
wears pantalccns or drawers SO baggy
that they would come up to his neck,
like those of q clown, they have plenty
to do. The washing is usually done in
cold water and often in running
streams. The clothes are pounded with
paddles until they shine like o shirt
front fresh from Chinese laundry.
Tho japanese rip their garments
apart for every washing. and they iron
their clothes by spreading them on
hat board and leaning this up against
the house to dry. The sun takes the
wrinkles out of the clothes, and some
of them have quite luster. The Japa-
nese woman does her washing out of
doors. Her washtub is not more than
six inches high and is about as big
round as the average dishpan. She gets
the dirt out Of the clothes by rubbing
them between her hands. She some
times uses Japanese soap, which is full
of grease, and works away in her bare
feet.
Inc Chlnese girls do their washing
IN much the same way.
The pretty short haired beauties of
Siam wear their gowns when bathing
in the river and wash them while tax
ing their bath. When they have finish
ed, they trot up the steps Of their float
ing houses, and, wrapping clean sheet
round their bodies, they slip off the
wet clothes and wiring them out to dry.
The washing in Egyptis usually done
by the men. The Egyptian washerman
stands naked on the banks Of the Mile
and slaps the wet clothes, with a noise
like the shot of pistol, on the smooth
stones at the edge Of the running water,
and such fellah women rs wash pound
the dirt out Of their clothes in the same
way.
Frenchwomen pound the dirt ont
with paddles, often slapping the clothes
upon stones as the Egyptians do.-Pear-
son's Weekly.
