can perfectly sympathize with the
young girl who, before she was wife,
expressed her disgust at the women
who continually talked about their
servants, but after her marriage, when
she was in the midst of discussion
OF this never-ending subject and re-
minded by a friend of her former re-
marks, said, Il wonder that they
talk about anything else" The bus
mess man engaging a clerk pays him
for certain work and expects him to
be capable of doing that work. He
needs competent book-keeper. Num-
bers appear to apply for the situation.
Each tells of his experience. his abil-
lty, and offers his references. The
business man engaged that one who
seems to be most competent, most
healthy and about whom the best
words are said by former employer,
who gives "a reasonable excuse for hav-
ing dismissed him from his employ.
That man expects that in few days
his book-keeper will have learned the
special methods of the establishment
and be competent workman. lie
knows that he would not dare to pose
as a first-class book-keeper unless he
was one. He understands that a bus
mess man does not write reference
for an employe unless it is deserved
and the employer would think the
world was coming to an end if, at the
end of the first day, the man engaged
to keep the books announced that he
did not know very much about them,
but that he was very good at put
ting corks in cologne bottles.
But that is the sort of treatment
that comes to the mistress Of the
house. She is anxious for a first class
cook. The cook appears. either in an
sWer to an advertisement, from an en-
pioyment agency or through some
friend. She presents her recommended
ton. 1t Is written evidently by lady,
and according to it this woman las all
the virtues and is a perfectly compe
tent cook. Her first dinner is an abso-
lutte failure. The meat is cooked to
death, while watery potatoes, greasy
vegetables and heavy pastry consti-
tute the menu. The mistress signs.
After dinner she has a little talk with
her new employee, only to discover that
where she lived before she did not do
the cooking, Just helped around the
house" but she wanted to be a cook,
and Mrs. Montmorenci Brown was so
kind hearted that she gave me a rec
,ommendation as one My friend,
what right has Mrs. Montmorenci
Brown to tell an absolute untruth on
paper? Yet this untruth is not the
worst that has come to you or to me,
brought by some one desiring to liter
ally live with us.

have been Mortified, for she was es-
pecially conspicuous in church work,

strengthening of my nerves to Paine'g
celery compound Yours truly.
SILAS D. DRAKE.
Nothing demoralizes the health sooner
/ or more completely than even the oc-
l casiOnal loss of sleep. To start a new
/ day with the brain unrefreshed is like
| trying to keep a WORKOUT horse up to
his work with the whip instead of by
feeding. The incessant brain activity
is as if the skull were laid bare and
the surface of the brain were struck
lightly every few seconds and without a
sign of a ''letuD"
Thus sleeplessness imperceptibly, but
no less surely, destroys the brain cells
that are the sources of mental power
and the health of every organ of the
body.
Paine's celery compound gets the ner-
vOus system out of this dangerous rut
of sleeplessness. It supplies nOurish-
ment to the nervous tissues faster than
they are worn out, and does not let
the nutrition of these delicate parts get
low enough to bring on insomnia.
One of the earliest evidences of the
final success of Paine's celery compound
in curing debility, nervousness, sleep
lessness and arrangements of the liver
and kidneys is the increased appetite.
the clearer skin, and that indescribabIe
precursor of health, a feeling of well
being" that takes the place of the tired,
languid, melancholy condition.

Founded last April, Lincoln boasts a

From a hamlet to a town-to a city,

Like most forceful men, Mayor Drake
must see results before giving his ap-

out his mind without fear or favor of

There is no hesitation among Mayor
brakes friends in saying that Paine's
celery compound has been of the utmost
help in enabling him to do a prodigious
amount of work, and to get rid of that
insomnia that at one time resulted from
every prolonged effort. Mayor Drake
