Nerves are weak, many people say,
and vet they do not seem to know
that they are literally starving their
nerves. Weak, pale, thin blood can
not give proper sustenance that is
why you are nervous, tired, exhausted.
The cure for this condition is to
purify, vitalize and enrich your blood.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla fairly and
faithfully, and the rich, red blood,
which it makes, will soon feed the
nerves the elements Of true strength
they require; they will cease their agi-
tation and will resume their proper
place - being under the control in

THE MOST DANGEROUS WOMAN
To Society IS She Who is Married and In
different TO Domestic Ties.


different to Domestic Ties.
at is unfortunate that we have
in this life OF ours, which seems
80 full to some OF US, SO many
women who can find nothing for
their hands to do" writes Edward
W. Box In June Ladies' Home
Journal, discussing "Women and
Card PARTIES" 81 do not by
this those whom we call the
wealthy and the leisure classes.
The greatest dangers to our
womanhood do not arise from
these classes. The woman most
dangerous to modern society is
she who is married, and is indif-
ferent to domestic ties, who lives
in boarding house or hotel, and
who Is constantly on the lookout
for something to occupy her atten-
ton. And a woman in this condi-
ton generally finds tho very thing
she shouldn't. Instead OF filling
up her life with something worthy
OF her womanhood she drags 1t
out through a succession OF such
enjoyments as these progressive
card parties.' AS she cannot play
alone she seeks company, and un-
fortunately, it is never difficult
for a woman of this sort to find
companions Of her own kind. She
is one of the types Of women who
have made these card parties what
they are today among women.
The we'll bred woman; the woman
of Intelligence who can see the
relative fitness OF things; the
woman who believes that God
gave her something to do in this
world; the woman with nice per-
ceptions; the woman who is whole
some in every sense; the woman
whom it is good for another
woman to know, who says some
thing of value when she speaks,
who lifts herself mentally and
spiritually above others, whom
| mothers like their daughters to
know and their sons to talk with
believe me, my friend, when |
say all this, and l say it in kind
ness-such women do not play
cards in the daytime; they leave
that sort of thing to others. They
find something else to do-some-
thing worthier Of them, something
better, more elevating, more en-
Tightening, and better fitted to
qualify them for their positions In
their homes, and their duties to-
ward their husbands and chill.

Small, Close Fitting, Quaint Bonnet,
Beside the poke which bears the
stamp OF Partisan approval, there
is q small, close fitting bonnet,
quaint in shape, and made OF
rather coarse straw, or else of the
fancy braids. These bonnets,
though not unlike the Dutch cap
in shape, are somewhat larger, and
are worn further on the face. The
trim mings in some instances take
the form of a wreath and encircles
the bonnet. Then the dexterous
milliner bends 1t so that 1t seems
almost oval. Sometimes the chief
decoration is at one side and stands
up very high; again, the entire
front is quite plain, the trim mining
is at the back and either flares out
in bows at each side, or stands up
quite straight just in the centre.
Rosettes of piece velvet or cause
ribbon are liked on these bonnets,
and many good color effects are
obtained when q little care Is
taken, and some thought is given
to the contrast between the rosettes
and flowers. Isabel A. Mallon In
