FROM every corner of the country
come thankful letters written BY thosa
who have been lifted into cheerful, Wig.
orous, healthy strength by Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
Thousands on thousands Of women
have been relieved Of the nerve-uaggiu0
drag Of weakness and pain.
They have been made better wives and
better mothers by having perfect health
restored. and without the humiliatjng
exposure Of examinations so generally
insisted on by physicians.
The steTeotyped treatment by "loeal
applications Is seldom necessary, and
there IS no reason why modest, sensitive
women need submit to them.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription IA
OF Parely vegetable composition and is
perfectly harmless in any condition Of
the system. II exsrts q wonderful sooth-
ing, healing and strengthening power
over woman's delicate organism. II IL
an invigonting tonic for the whole sys-
tenn. and Is almost an infallible specific
for the peculiar weaknesses, Irregular.
ties aud painful arrangements Of woman.
To these causes may be traced the
trouble ot tired. nervous. irritable. worn
out women. Careless. sasy-going doctors
irequenily treat their women patients for
billensness, nervousness. dyspepsia. liver
or kidney troubles. when the real sick.
ness IS IN the organs distinctly feminine
and no help can come till they are made
perfectly strong and healthy in hoth
structure and function which IS brougth

THE FASHIONS FOR LENT.

While the LeRten season brings
with 1t dull and somber colors, as IL tc
make the Easter styles all the more
brilliant by contrast,yet 1t is preceded
by a brief spell in which the color
scheme Of late winter is carried TO It's
highest development.
The styles at present represent the
close OF the late winter and are, II pos
slble, more brilliant and striking than
all OF those previously worn this sea-
son.
Some OF the new skirts are fiounced,
some are founced midway and more
novel designs are fiounced TO the waist.
AT the same time these house gowns
have grown simpler and smoother. A
great many new creations are just Bell
skirts, but the amount OF fiouncing and
trimming required offsets the simpli-
city OF the cut and makes the toilet
equally expensive In regard to ma
terial, and much more expensive on
account OF the immense amount of
needlework required.
Epaulettes are still good form, for
both outdoor aud indoor costumes, and
transparent sleeves, which are a logi-
cal consequence OF the bolero, are
emlnently correct for household wear.
In the new sleeves many of the de-
signs are quite curious. A noticeable
one this week was made OF two kinds
of chiffon. One was OF lizard green
aud the other was pink. They ftted
the body very neatly aud at the shoul-
der were slightly pulled, then drawn
in TIN they met the arms and followed
these Snugly 10 the wrist. They we're
wrinkied All the way and draped 80 rs
70 give the impression Of being
wrapped or wound around the arm.
The contrast between the two brill
liant colOFs OF the material aud Of the
white arm, which shown vaguely
through the inteFstices, was extremely
striking and rather pretty.
This harlequin style is not confined
20 sleeves. Many OF the evening gown
bodloes aud even skirts are marked by
this ancient aud semi.humorous mode
OF treatment

FOR MOTHERS CLUBS.

liars 10 this town :"
FOR MOTHERS CLUBS.
Mrs. Alice McBirney writes thus o.
the importance OF mothers clubs:
The children are crying to us, and
when mothers will place, in imagina
tiOn, their own babies and little ones
10 the hsunts whence issue those most
plteous cries, then the world will SCI
an uprising against the power Of dark
ness, the like OF which was never
seen before. The savage mother will
fight for her offspring and sacrifice
her life, II need be, In their defense.
| The civilized mother will do as much,
and more, for with the glimmering in
her sOpl OF that dawn which is com.
ing with the brotherhood OF man, her
heart will yearn with maternal affec-
tlon over each child Of Gods because
IL is Gods, because It shares with her
own little ones the common heritage
Of youth and he1plessness, and be-
cause only through its highest de-
velopment can the world be redeemed
from its bondage to sin and poverty.
o mothers, and all ye who hear the
cry, cease not calling upon the world
TO heed 1t until the world recognizes
that all It's splendor is but as Dead
Sea ashes, compared TO the Joy which
would come from the existence Of a
universally happy, wholesome child
hood with ITS rare promises to the fu-
ture.
We suggest that .mothers' clubs be
formed everywhere and that Ithese oc-
casionally call parents meetings. A
club can be organized by any women
In any condition Of life who may de-
sire TO enter upon this work. She can
call her friends together or she can
present the subject TO any organiza-
tion of which she is already a member.
