THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from 4 mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
property instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer"
and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and great deal
of exaggcration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should sec
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examine
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became SO poor that l
Ind to leave school. was tired a Il the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back | was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. Ny
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
YOU for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia L. Pinkham's
Vcgeta bic Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed and am now as well as |
ever was. / have gained flesh and have
a good color. l am completely cured of
irrcgularity."

DOG THEORY DESTROYED.
The Faithful Animal is Nof a Part of
 inc COrned Beef of Phoenix.

The Arizona Gazette yesterday aimed deadly blow at the young, but grow ing, corned beef industry in Phoenix, by publishing the premature judgment and m1sapprehension of MT. H. Eckles, citizen who had invested in corned beef the night before. Those of the Gazette's readers who had had corned beef for breakfast had a touch of sea- sickness. Those who had not, re- turned profound thanks.
 MT. Eckles discovered in his corned beef a variety of small bones of pe- culiar shape. Some of them were straight, about an inch long and a six teenth of an inch in diameter. The others were shorter, two joined to- gether at an obtuse angle by a cart ilege which gave them a claw shape. MT. Eckles is not an anatomist and he hastily arrived at the indignant conclusion that they were the bones of a dogs paw. He went around walk ing advertisement of the butcher shop
