I'M Is there anything
more whole some,
more beautiful, more completely pleasing
than womanly woman? Such a woman
is even tempered, intelligent, strong and
healthy. Health really tells the whole
story. Health means strong nerves and
strong body, and they go far toward
bringing good looks and a1niability.
A woman worn and wearied by the
dragging weaknesses peculiar to her sex,
cannot be expected to find zest in any
duty or amusement Life is all one dead
monotonous gloom to her. On her face
is written the story OF weakness and pain.
The wholesomeness of health is lacking.
The cheeks lack fullness, the eyes lack
sparkle, the hair lacks luster.
Doctors have learned to locate nine
tenths of womanly sickness in the organs
that ought above all others to be strong
and healthy.
Sensitive women shudder at the
thought of consulting physician on
such matters. A natural feeling of mod
estv makes them dread the examination,
and subsequent stereotyped treatment by
"local applications on which most
doctors insist.
Much more often than not, this is UNI
necessary. It should not be submitted
to except as last resort.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
cured thousands of severe cases of "fe-
male weakness" 1t works in natural,
sensible way. It begins by subduing the
inflammation that is always present.
Then it strengthens and invigorates the
whole body, particularly the organs dis
tinctly feminine. 1t promotes regularity,
cures inflammation and liberation, and
stops the facilitating drain caused by
them. Of all dealers.

ones. They lake a warm interest in
the order, and, among the officers, are
a number who hold positions Of con-
sidera bic responsibility.
Wen may the women take an interes;
in the u. O.. G, c., as it is one Of the
few that admit them on an equal foot
ing With the men. One prominent
member of number of benefit orders
saws that he finds from accumulated
statistics that, of the persons who die
between the ages of 10 and 80 years,
two-thirds are women. That, he says
is a good indication Of the trend to-
ward longevity among them.
So then. 1t appears. that. aside from
the pleasure of having them around,
the lodge is pecuniarily benefited by
taking their insurance, finding them
good risks.
There is another point in which the
members of the order take an especial
pride, and that is in the fact that, 50
far as possible, no one is received INTO
the ranks who is not a total abstaincr
from intoxicating liquors. Among the
members are many Good Templars'
and. it will be noted, that almost all
oC the prominent officers have, IN one
way or another, held office in the order
of Good Templars.
Not only do they have the pride IN
the temperance principle, but they
claim il is a good way to reach the
best risks.
Wednesdays meeting was an essen
tally busy one It was case, now
ever. of work, first with play after

officers were publically installed, and
the fine entertainment was given they
more than enjoyed themselves.
