CHILDREN NEED A PLACE TODAY.
Advantages Of the Nursery and Suggestions
for the Furnishing Of the Room.
IChicago Times-IIerald,l

1t is desirable that growing children
should have n room all to themselves,
where they can be free to move around
and disarrange things If they feel like
it. In England the nursery IL made
much more of than 1t Is ever here. and
the children's quarters, as they are
called, frequently consist of study,
playroom and individual bedrooms. at

This is rather an extravagant idea
for the average American home, but 1t
often proves possible to devote one
room to the sole use of the young MEM

there would probably be more strength
and certainly greater variety in the

read and play and give them a soul
for something else than bonnets and
gowns.

not be quickly ruined, that the worn

congeniality between them develops

The chief prerequisite of a playroom

WHY so MANY REGULAR
PHYSICIANS FAIL
TO Cure Fcmale Ills--Somo True
Reasons Why Mrs. Pinkham
is Moro Successful Than
the Family Doctors.

A woman is sick; some disease pecu-
liar to her Sex is fast developing in her
system. She goes to her family physi-
clan and tells him a story, but not tie
whole story.
She holds some thing back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgcts what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifes the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctor fails to cure the disease? Still,
wo cannot blame the woman, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some of
the symptoms of her suffering, even TO
her family physician.
1t was for this reason that years
ago Mrs. Pinkham, ut Lynn, Mass,
determined to step in and help her
sex. Having had considerable ex-
pericncc in treating female ills with
her Vegetable Compound, she encour-
arcd the women of America to write
To her for advice in regard to their
icomplaints. and, being a woman, 1t
was easy for her niling sisters to pour
into her ears every detail of their suf-
fcrinr. Over one hundred thousand
women were successfully treated by
Mrs. Pinkham last year. Such are the
grand results Of her experience.

the Virgin was tender and sweet, and
Judas rose powerfully to his great

of the players, though all were earnest

children at drill. A chorus of ten or
twelve ushered in each episode with song,

narrative. The acts of the play proper
were interrupted by tableaux vivants
