FOR GIRLS AND WOMEN.
Plans To Improve Their
Physical Condition
Mrs. {. A. Bucks Recovery From
Severe Nervous Prostitution.
The Simple Method Which Wrought n
Permanent Cure in Her Case.

There has been more or less talk of late
about the benefits of gymnasium work for girls
and women.
There is no doubt that their physical condi-
ton can be greatly improved by systematic
exercise. And it is certain that many stand in
sore need of such improvement.
The great WEAKNESS, nervousness, poor sleep,
inability to walk far without firing, bearing
down feelings, headache and backache, cold
feet and spinal tenderness-al these are symp-
toms that affect a large proportion of women.
1.-THE sense of exhaustion is a remarkable
one; the woman is always tired; she passes the
day tired; she goes to bed tired, and she wakes
up tired, often, indeed, more tired than when
she fell asleep. She signs a great deal, and
her arms and legs tremble or fall asleep so
frequently that she fears palsy or paralysis"
But few have opportunities for physical cul-
ture, and they give up hope and suffer silently
and sadly. Into the darkness of their sorrow
comes a CLEAN of brightness from the expert
ence of Mrs. E. A. Buck of Lynn, Mass. She
writes;
For a long time | was on the verge of ner-
vous prostration and general debility. / was
so | could not walk any distance without a
terrible palpitation of the heart and a dizzy,
faint feeling. Nothing helped me until | used
Paine's celery compound. A few bottles of
that remarkable medicine made me feel like
another woman. / now do my own homework,
sleep well, have a good appetite, and can walk
along distance without having to rest at all. I
only hope this testimony of mine will induce
some poor, nervous, worn-out friend to use this
compound and be cured"
Why should there be suffering and sickness
among women when there is this scientific,
common-sense remedy, Paine's celery COM
pound, that cures. If you do not need it
yourself, speak of it to some weak and ner-
vous woman, and tell her that at last there is
relief for nervous ills.

As to Deer Staying in Middlesex.

Editor Wdtchmdn.-I notice in reports of
deer killed in the State this fall that Middle

correct an error and possibly point a moral" |
write you the following facts
-Four deer are known to me to have been
killed in this town-tbree bucks and one doe
Others were shot at and may have died in the
woods. OF those killed the first was that
Kent and Lamphere shot early on the first day
of the open season, secured at once and proper
ly disposed of. The next buck was shot on the
first day, in Bear Swamp, by Henry Wheat or
a man hunting in company with him. This
was not found until four or five days later
when it was spoiled for any use as meat. The
carcass lay and rotted near the place lately
vacated by "Chin" Davis. Several who saw
it stated that it was a very large one. The

This deer weighed 200 pounds after dressing,

parties at present unknown, but was first re-
ported by Carol Hasbrook and Hank Talbot
on October 10 as being found under an apple
tree on what is known as the Hale place" in
Bear Swamp. Tn remains, minus the head,
still remain as mute evidence of somebodies
violation of the law. Now, Mr.. Editor, l for
one move that we put up the bars again and
keep 'em up until we can educate some deer
hunters of the leather stocking variety who
can get their game when shot and not have it
worse than wasted. Just one word as to tame
deer" No tame deer or farmers pets" have
been shot or seen in this town, the Argus to
the contrary notwithstanding, but early in the
season herds of from three to six deer were
frequently seen in pastures and mowings feed.

ONE DosE.-One dose OF ''77" taken at
the beginning of a cold is worth half a
dozen afterwards. When you feel the first
chill or SILVER, or your throat feels scrapey,
is the easy time to cure a cold or check the
grip. This is why so many people keep a
vial of "77" handy; in the pocket, on the
office desk, or in the home. II you forget
your bottle, you will be safe in asking your
friend for a dose; it will be considered a
compliment. "77" is everywhere. Me-
elected colds take longer, but are always

the officers to spirit the negro away and
prevent his being lynched They sent

AN ELDORADO NEAR HOME.
A Strike of Pay Dirt Yielding
$4,000 to the Ton.

Seattle, Wash, SEPT. 81. The first
definite news concerning Washington's
new Eldorado near Mount Baker, and
how TO get there has been brought to
Seattle by L. w. Saportas, who with
Frank Crydo and Augustus Wagner, ex-
perienced miners from Dawson City,
went to the scene of the latest excite
ment
According to Mr.. Saportas the r,ute is
not difficult until within five miles of
the find. The last five miles present OBJ
stacles that would forever discourage
any one not an experienced prospector
aud mountaineer. There is in Mount
Baker and its surrounding heights enough
gold, says MIR. Saportas, to keep pros.
pectors busy the next ten years.

"who came from Mount Tomohoy. They
all reiterated the stories concerning the
great strike of $4,000 to the ton, made
