cause she doesn't know any better Sick
because she doesn't really know why.
Sick because the organs that make her a
woman are not properly performing their
functions and so are sending nerve mes
sages with aches and pains and distress all
over her quivering body.
Nine-tenths of women's sickness comes
from disorder of these special organs. The
symptoms are various-the cause the same.
Headache, backache nervousness, wake
fulness, neuralgia and fifty other troubles
of women may nearly always be traced di-
rectly to feminine weakness or disease.
When the most important organism of a
woman's body is disordered her whole
physical and mental system is upset The
only way to find comfort is to cure the real
cause of the misery. Local doctors in gen
eTal practice are frequently so hurried and
rushed that they treat the symptom and
not the disease. They give woman medi-
cine for headache when the headache is
due TO the reflex action of the uterine
nerves. They may give her good medicine
but for the wrong disease. Thousands of
women after years of encouragement
have written to Dr. r V Pierce of Buffalo,
N. Y, and now thank him for their re-
newed health and happiness. For over
thirty years DR.. Pierce has been chief CON

tory, which will probably result in
the refusal to renew any of the per-

Commissioner Jones will recommend
in his annual report to the Secretary
of the Interior the adjustment Of
the entire post trader system and
the establishment on every Indian
reservation in the country of gov
ernment stores to be under govern
ment employees. The plan contem-
plates the purchase of goods in large
quantities and their sale to the In
dians at the exact cost to the govern
ment, in addition to the expense. In
this way the Indians will be saved
many thousands of dollars annually.
This plan meets the approval of
many members of the committees on
Indian affairs of the House and Sem
ate, and if the secretary embodies it
in his recommendations to Congress
it will probably be adopted.

While New Years is somewhat OF a
religious anniversary in Scotland. in
France it has been observed under very
different circumstances, the day being
conspicuous chiefly for the excuses OF
those who are observing it. In the old
days in France men and women were
in the habit Of dressing in fantastic
costumes and going about the country
begging money for the sick lady"
Large gifts were given as often as pos
sible, and. as in Scotland. the money
obtained was afterwards divided by the
benevolent beggars among the needy
poor.
In a similar manner customs for the
celebration of New Years prevail in
all countries. Some of the customs are
imposing, picturesque or novel, but in
almost every case the old familiar sal
utation is still used and the occasion
is made one Of gift giving.

how these customs originated, for rec
cords of them have been found in al
most every country on the globe, sew
eral CT which were practically out OF
reach of any of the Roman empire. 1t
is somewhat a mystery, therefore, how
such customs could have penetrated
from one end Of the world to the other.
Tackles mountains and deserts OF
Eimitless oceans were no obstacle; ev-
erywhere the one salutation was heard,
and everywhere men and women ex-
changed their gifts 1t New Years.
In old England the occasion OF the
birth of a year was always celebrated
with great festivity. Centuries ago 1t
was the custom to enjoy an interchange
Of gifts and it was no uncommon thing
for the nobility to join with the ofic-
ials Of the State in the presentation OF
some valuable gifts to the sovereign.
Scotland is another country that al
ways has made a great deal OF New
Years. In that part of the world he
day is made an official holiday and
even to-day the pomp and ceremony
Of the olden times have not been for
gotten. At the present time, especially
in Edinburg, crowds gather to hear the
bells at the old Iron church RUG out
the passing year.
When the church clock shows mid
night a mighty cheer is raised, hand
shaking becomes general, and the old
salution, "a happy new year." is
heard On every side. On New Years
eve in Scotland it is still customary
for bands of young men to so about the
country singing songs suitable for the
season and begging aims, which are eff

brances took the place of the simple
tribute. At first grapes, honey, figs and
other fruits were presented, but finally
even these presents became too small
to be regarded with favor.
During tn reign Of Augustus that
Emperor expected such gifts as a right,
the custom having been a most ancient
one, even at that time. When Caligula
was ruling in Rome he even went so
far as to issue an edict commanding
the Roman nobility to make him pres
ents of considerable value on each New
Years Day.
In Greece the New Years salutation
wa almost as old as the festival itself.
As soon as the day dawned crowds Of
people hurried from mouse TO house
crying out their wishes for a happy and
successful year. At this time it was al
so customary that presents should be
exchanged, but, as in ancient Rome,
the gifts were of a simple character,
bits of fruit, packages Of CONNECTIONS or
punches of flowers.
At about the same time similar GUS
toms followed in China, although there
were wide differences as to the date Sc
lected. On this holiday, however, all
business was suspended, and every n
felt that it was his duty to entertain as
deliberately as his means would permit.
On that day, therefore, visits were
made from house to house, every
made merry, and all old scores
of enmity were considered cancelled.
Everywhere the cry was one very SINH

knife. The twigs with their berries
were then distributed among the peo-
Pile on New Years morning and it was
the popular belief that these gifts. If
worn as an amulet, would preserve its
wearer against the danger of battle.
From this it can be seen that the GUS
tom Of observing the first day of the
new year is almost as old as humanity
itself. The customs Of wishing each
other a happy new year and of pre-
senting gifts upon this occasion are al
most as ancient. Both originated with
the Romans. and from that country
extended to other parts of the world.
In the days of Titus Tatius, king of
the Sabines, it was the duty of every
n to dismiss all enmities from his
heart upon this day and to wish all
with whom he came in contact a happy
new year.
At this time it was also customary
to exchange gifts in honor of the day,
but these gifts usually consisted of a
few sprigs of vervaiu Tan aromatic
shrub closely resembling rosemary,
which vas gathered in a wood sacred
to Strenia, the goddess of strength.
These gifts we're called strenia, or gifts
If strength.

had already been elected, took their
seats.
The ancient Greeks began the year
about the summer solstice, or June 81.
The Persians also began their year in
June, the Chinese in March and the
Abyssinians in August. The ancient
people of Mexico had a calendar that
fixed the beginning Of the year in Feb
ruary.
Early in the history of the Roman
people New Years Day was celebrated
in January. There are traditions Of
that age that are almost as reliable as
history. To say that the day originated
at that time, however, would be a mis-
take. Long before that period, when
the Roman calendar was in such an
uncertain condition that the year ONE
times began in March and sometimes
in April, this festival was known and
celebrated.
Druid Festival.
In Northern Europe the custom of
celebrating the first day OF the new
year also ante6ates all history. 1t was
an old Druid festival that had been
handed down through the centuries to
be celebrated as a religious anniver-
sary. On this occasion the priests went
into thn woods on The last night of the

All nations seem to have agreed,
since the memory Of man runneth not
to the contrary, to observe the first day
Of the year as an occasion of festivity
and mutual good wishes. When or
Kew this custom originated history
does not tell. 1t ~antedates history and
lends for back into the age of fable.
Hundreds of years before the dawn of
the Christian era it was being celebrat-
cd with considerable pomp in many
parts OF the world.
Before universal calendars had been
thought of as a remote possibility and
the beginning of the year varied as to
date in almost every part of the world,
this first day of the new year was rec
pgaized as the one great festival Of
the twelve months.
Tradition tells that Numa, who lived
nearly eight centuries before Christ,
celebrated a festival that was dedicated
to Janus on the first day of the month
sacred to the god. On this occasion all
Romans Joined together to make the
day a merry me-. Sacrifices were made
