WRITE A LETTER.

Many women live where there Is no skill
full specialist in women's diseases, and still
more cannot afford to pay the high fees
charged. These sufferers should follow the
example of Mrs. Anna Willy, of Worthwhile,
Sphinx Co.. S. Oak, who writes as follows
to DR.. r. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y:
"I am enjoying good health thanks to your
kind advice and valuable remedies. suffered
very much with female ailments for more than
two years, when wrote to you for advice. After
carefully following your free advice, and taking
six bottles each of Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescrip-
ton and Golden Medical Discovery am now
well and happy women have poi,s also .dKeh
did me great deal OF good"
DR.. Pierce has probably treated and cured
more cases of female weakness, pains in
the back, side and abdomen, nervousness,
headache, irregularities, alterations, tu-
mors and other female troubles than any
other living physician His wide expert
ence peculiarly fits him to bring about cures
when every one else fails. He charges no
fee whatever to those who write him for
advice, and he invites all to consult him
free by mail. His wonderful remedy,
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, can
be depended upon to overcome nearly ev-
cry kind of disease that afflicts girls and
women 1t contains no alcohol, opium or
other narcotics, and does not create craving
for injurious stimulauts, as is so often the
case with other medicines advertised for
womau's ailments.
An honest medicine dealer will give you
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and not
try to persuade you TO take some inferior
substitute for the little added profit he may
make thereon.
Those who wish may enclose 81 one-cent
stamps in their letters, and DR.. Pierce will
send free his 1908 page Common Sense
Medical Adviser which is the most COM
plete and practical family doctor book ever
published containing over 100 pictures.

Staying Power Counts In a Long and
Stern Race.

Montpelier people are not to be told
how hard it is to earn and maintain a
good reputation aud how easy it is to

nigh impossible to recover the ground,
and the majority who have slipped by
the wayside have been forced TO stay
there. AS with mans reputation so
it is with medicinal preparations.
Some achieve a reputation which stays

A CHRISTMAS DINNER.
BY Louis Role.


In advance of the holiday season let
me wish all "a merry Christmas" But
how can a housewife better make Christ
mas merry for her family and guests
than by preparing a toothsome dinner
One cannot well help being merry as he
rises from table that was laden with
seasonable delcacies.
1t is easy to suggest a menu for Christ
mas of an elaborate character, but il
that is done it means many long hours
of hard work in its preparation and
takes all the pleasure out Of the day for
the wife who does her own cooking.
For this years Christmas feast let us
try and arrange a bill of fare that can
be prepared with minimum of labor on
that festival day and yet be worthy of
any table. We will consider the follow

thoroughly dried.
THE NIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS.
Twas the night after Christmas, when
all thro the house
Every soul was abed and as still as
mouse;
The darlings had duly been tucked In
their beds,
With very full stomachs and pains in
their heads;
When out in the Nursery rose such
clatter
j sprang from my sleep crying. What is
the matter?"
For, what to the fond fathers eyes should
appear
But the pale little face of each sick little
dear;
I turned from the sight to my bedroom
stepped back,
And brought out phial marked Pulv
Epecac.
Selected.
Forewarned is forearmed-at least
such may be the case.
In the hope that our readers will grant
us the privilege of sharing their plans,
our school is now preparing for Good
Cookery's next Issue, Christmas menu,
composed OF natural foods, which will
not only leave the Joy of the occasion
undiminished, but greatly perpetuate
It, because of not afterward requiring
nauseating mixtures to restore the sys.
tenn to even comfortable conditions.
Nature is extremely kind when man
is obedient, but the cause for the penalty
go almost universally being paid for vio-
lation Of her laws is shame and dis
grace to our civilization, and desecra-
ton, especially of the hottest and hap
piest season given to man.
