Hail Insurance Companies.

Twenty five freeholders in neigh
borhood must sign an application for
permission to do a mutual hail insur
ance business in Minnesota They are
called incorporators, but they may not
have anything to do with the man
agement of the company, and should
not, as rule, be held responsible for
it. In fact, methods calculated to
bring company into disrepute may
be employed by an officer or two
without the knowledge or appreciation
of the others, so it is not fair to in
discriminatory censure all men whose
names happen to be associated with
such company.

From the Fairhaven IN, W Register.
James Rowland, of this village
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor
but he had read of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and instead of going for the
physician he went to store and secured
a bottle of it. His wife did not ap-
prove of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at
first, but nevertheless applied the
Balm thoroughly and in an hours
time was able to go to sleep. She now
applies it whenever she feels an ache
or a pain and finds that it always
gives relief. He says that no medicine
which she had used ever did her as
much good. The 25 and so cent sizes

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

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl
Tradition says woman must suffer,
and young women are SO taught;
There is n little truth and great deal
of exapgeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets II.
MANY mothers hesitate TO take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
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. Pinkhams address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
f. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect win do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that l
had to leave school. ! was tired all tho
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. / was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. l was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might beneftme, and wrote
you for advice. l followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham

you directed, and am now as well as

a good color. am completely cured OF
