ton the one remedy that can be de-
pended on to renew the vitality of
feeble persons.
This settled confidence in Paine'S
celery compound is not a hearsay be-
lief, but rests in nearly every case
on personal use or acquaintance with
men or women who have been restored
to useful health by no other means.
The rapid change for the better in
color, flesh and expression of the face
is so unmistakable that repair of the
wasted tissues might well be called a
renewal of life.
The process by which Pane's celery
compound is able to build up health in
the rundown body is not hard to un-
derstand when one observes how sure
ly it disposes the bowels to act regu-
larly, how it increases the capacity to
take and assimilate food. and regu-
lates the nerves all over the body.
The heavy, alarming pain.iu the back
and loins disappears; the growing
paleness and loss of flesh is stopped
and bright, buoyant feeling grad
ually takes the place of that unending
sense of tire and depression.
Paines celery compound is the ex-
act remedy for that large class of fee
BILE, thin-blooded. often hysterical per-
sons whose greatest need is a thorough
refurnishing of their blood with the
red corpuscles upon which health and
happiness in such large measure de-
pend.
The extraordinary virtue of Paine's
/ celery compound to increase the pro-
portion of red corpuscles in the blood
is the source of its great power over
all blood diseases, rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, kidney diseases, back aches,
loss Of flesh and general rundown
condition

Reed and DOckeTy.

Speaker Reed and Congressman Dock
cry are getting quite chummy nowadays.
Mr.. Dockery makes suggestions and loafs
up around the speakers desk a great
deal. Yesterday, says the Washington
Times, he corrected an announcement
made by the speaker, and the correction
was gracefully received
The other day there was a sharp little
tilt between Mr.. Barrett and the speaker
Mr.. Reed was at great pains to make
his ruling clear, but Mr., Barrett insisted
that a clear Interpretation of the English
language showed the speaker TO be
wrong.
"The Interpretation may not be correct
but the house has thought 1t correct for
a long time"
BY this time Mr.. Dockery was leaning
on the side of the speaker desk.
THAT was right, wasn't 1t, Dockery?
whispered the speaker.
"Most assuredly," said the Missouri
man, and business proceeded.

and pretty fads, even if politics be-

however, appearances will be first con-

Many progressive New York women
are formed into an organization known
as the Society for Political Study. This
week they held a meeting, wore their
prettest clothes, had nice programme
whether Henry George was on the right
about almost everything but politics
and then went home saying What
lovely meeting we had" Occasionally,
to be sure, they try to find out what
was John Stuart Mills little game or
whether Henry George was on the
track but their skirt bindings are
immaculate and they have a due re-
gard for their wells and chiffons. Yet
the membership of this society repre-
sents the most advanced thought of the
sex in this country.
Last week in this column was men,

that men are just as subject 70 whimS

often ridicule. Here is another illus
tration of what is supposed to be eX-
clusively a feminine trait but which
once in a while crops out in mankind
to an abnormal degree. Frequently all
required is the opportunity. A Scran-
ton woman, generally interested in the
1--we topics of the day, on one occasion
met famous politician, with whom
she enjoyed a pleasant chat during
lunch. He was a very good looking
man and had a manner to match his
appearance. After his departure the
