ed em1nenCe ana lives III the meliop-
oils and dimes and dances with the
Four Hundred, who, in his boyhood,
used to be the "Blue Jay" and balance
to and swing the RED Bird"
And how they did dance in those good
old days! There were no evening
dresses and no diamonds and no rich
suppers-but fun-there were wagon
loads Of it.
The blue Jay was blue Jay"
because he wore an old army uniform
Of blue. When the caller yelled, blue
Jay" balance to the pretty RED Bird
how that blue Jay" did hoe 1t down
double shuffle-treble shuft1e-heel
and toe. The floor Of the country cot
tage fairly bobbed up and down, and
the dust of years rose out Of it in great
puffs.
Then when finally the blue Jay"
had balanced himself out of breath and
the caller shouted, Swing 'er lively
how the blue Jay" did pounce upon
the RED Bird and grab her around
the waist and fairly lift her off her feet
and swing, and swing, and swing her,
until they were both dizzy and the kerc-
sene lamp over the fire place went sail
ing around the room as if it were an
illuminated contestant in a six-day's
walking match.
The "Red Birds" cheeks were rosy
with youth and healthful exercise and
her eyes just danced with excitement
and how she did bob and bounce
around.
And now when you come to think
back over it, you will find that all the
pretty red birds and canary birds and
all the manly blue jays and blackbirds
were happier and healthier then, than
they are now since they've realized
their ideals and got to be town or
city folks.
The pretty "Red Bird" married
successful young man In town and has
a fine house. and would scOrn to bal
ance a Blue Jay or any other male
bird in the good old fashioned way.
But she isn't happy. She doesn't know
what the trouble is. Her husband is
kind. But she is irritable and despond-
ent.
The .Blue Jay" has achieved mod
crate success In town, but some way he
isn't happy He feels "out Of sorts"
most Of the time. His appetite isn't
good He doesn't sleep well: He's
headachey in the morning and dull and
listless all day. He smiles when he
thinks of the RED Bird" and the old
country dances, but Of course 1t would
be beneath his dignity to indulge in
such frolics now.
The fact of the matter is that neither
the "Red Bird" nor the Blue Jay
are in good health. Town life and
worry have robbed them Of the vim
and yigor that animated them in the
country.
There are thousands Of pale, sickly
irritable wives who were once robust
healthy charming country girls. Close
confinement In their homes, lack OF ex-
ercise and neglect Of their health In
womanly way are gradually breaking
them down. More than anything else
their condition is due to weakness and
disease of the distinctly feminine or
cans. Troubles Of this description rack
their nerves. ruin their tempers and
destroy beauty. They are soon un-
fitted for the duties of wifehood anu
motherhood which they were once so
we'll able to assume.
There is g. sure and unfailing remedy
for these troubles. It is DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It acts directly
on the delicate organs concerned. 1t
gives them strength, vigor and viril-
ity. 1t fits for wifehood and mother
hood. It gives the tortured nerves
rest and builds up the general health.
It will again transform the sickly.
nervous, respondent wife and mother
into the jolly, rosy, healthy RED Bird"
Of old.
And the men. Thousands Of them
are dying unnecessarily Of consumption
or nervous exhaustion or prostration.
It's a needless sacrifice Of life. Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will
give them the "get-there" vim and
vigor Of old. It puts the stomach right
and makes man as hungry as bear.
It gives refreshing sleep. It fills the
veins with rich red blood. 1t tones the
nerves. 1t Is the great blood-maker
and f1esh-builder
Thousands have testified to the mer-
it's of these great medicines. They are
for sale by all good dealers. An hon
est dealer will not urge some inferior
substitute.
