that a good restorative medicine is
positive necessity. 1t must be medi-
cine with specific virtues. As . friend,
a woman friend, let me advise the use
of Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
If your case has progressed SO that .
troublesome discharge is already es-
tablished, do not delay, take the Veg
etable Compound at once, SO as to tone
up your whole nervous system; you
can get it at any reliable drug store.
You ought also to use local applica-
ton, or else the corrosive discharge
will set up an Inflammation and hard
ening of the parts. Mrs. Pinkham's
Sanative Wash is put up in packets at
IS cents each. To relieve this painful
condition this Sanative Wash is worth
its weight in gold.
Mrs. GEORGE w. SHEPARD, Watervliet,
N. Y, says: ~ am glad to state that
I am cured from the worst form of fe-
male weakness. I was troubled very
much with leucorrhna, bearing-down
pains and backache. Before using
Mrs. Pinkham's Remedies it seemed
that had no strength at all. I was
in pain all over. began to feel better
after taking the first dose of Vegetable
Compound. I have used five bottles,
and feel like new woman. know
if other suffering women would only
try it, it would help them"

1t is amply demonstrated that foot
ball is sport attended by more fatal
tiles than pugilism. The killing of Il
student of the Georgia State Univer-
sity few days ago was the latest in
stance in demonstration. It caused
such a revulsiOn of feeling that not
only did the State University consider
the advisability of prohibiting the
game but the students also at first took
that view of it and the Legislature was
said to be likely to pass a law making
foot ball playing an illegal practice
The bereaved mother, however, says
she hopes his death will not be preju-
dicial to the game and adds: His love
for his college and his interest in all
manly sports, without which he deemed
the highest type of manhood impos-
sible, are well known to his class
mates and friends. and it would be in
expressibly sad to have the cause held
SO dear injured by his sacrifice. This
is Spartan fortitude, indeed, and If the
real friends of the game are willing to
display an equal amount of loyalty and
courage they will eliminate in fact, not
in theory alone, some of the more
brutal features of the game. AS for
the Georgia Legislature making the
playing of the game illegal, it would
appear somewhat silly in view Of the
fact that 1t has only just awakened to
the enormities Of its convict labor sys-
tenn and is not vet aware that huma.,
life is just as sacred in black as in a
white skin.

One authority has said the election in
New York city demonstrates that the
majority of voters there do not care for
good government. If they do it is the
negative sort of solicitude that never
makes an effort to secure what it has
conscience enough to see is desirable
Some think Tammany will not dare to
be as wicked as it would like to. Per
haps, but that hardly seems probable
when Greater New York has virtually
invited it to repeat the performances
the Lexow investigation showed it te
be guilty of. Perhaps the tiger will be
satisfied with lambs broth when the
carcass has been thrown to it.

The President whose life was at
tempted has not been popular from the
beginning. There has been state of
revolt in remote districts since he came
to power until a short time since when
the crushing defeat of Consulheiro and
his fanatical followers was thought to
have broken the back of the revolution.
1t is possible the assassin was one of
these fanatics, whom many have
thought We're sustained by contribu-
tons from the monarchists. His fail
ure to kill the President may Illustrate
any design which the instigators of the
crime, if there We're such. may have
had. 1t is to be hoped SO. for while
Brazil rests somewhat uneasily on the
republic basis, it is too far advanced
for a relapse to monarchy with any
likelihood of permanency.

was asserted that matrimony was a
risk because so few girls knew any
thing about the art of cooking when
she married. She knew, so it is said
all manner of 'ologies.' but not how to
make bread. This can not be said now.
If girl does not know how to cook she
is an exception. if one may judge from
the papers and magazines. 1t would
seem from these that man was created
solely to consume food and woman to
prepare it. A proper knowledge of tn.
preparation and right kinds of food is
desirable. but is it all of life to eat?
Is there no other way in which a
woman may serve her own and the
world but by cooking? One wearies of
the perpetual recipe in papers and
magazines. Let us sometimes be al
lowed to forget that man must eat and
not think of him as a creature who is
nothing but stomach.
