Hard Times 'for Housekeepers.

Another speaker amused the audi

about educating girls for service, but
my experience is that there are no
more girls left to be educated
The speaker went on to explain that
she came from n large city In central
Ohio, and that the supply of girls in
that town was wholly disproportionate
to the demand. Housekeepers were
left often two and three months at 4
time without any sort Of helpers,
though both love and money were free

You will never find our Doc
tor out. He is here to give
advice without charge to those
who need him to those who
don't, sometimes. He doesn't
always recommend the Aver
medicines, because the Aver
medicines are not "cure-alls. ."
Perhaps if we tear a leaf
from his correspondence it will
show you what we mean. Here
is a letter which came last
March.
DEAR DR.. AVER:
l want your advice for my little boy.
He is getting very thin. He has no appe-
,ite. He is fifteen years old. When he
was four years old he had lung fever, bu,
his health was good until two years ago.
Since then he is failing fast The doctors
here say he has the bronchitis. He spits

thick, and white. Yours truly,
Mrs MARGARET MURPHY,
March 20, 1000 kinbrae, Mimi"
And this is the way the Doc
tor answered Mrs. Murphy:
"DEAR MADAM:
ave enclose our book on The Throat
and Lungs, in which we trust you will find
Just the information you desire.
"You should begin at once the use Of
this Cherry Pectoral for your son, giving
it in moderate doses. Then procure some
good preparation of cod-liver oil, as
Scott's Emulsion, and give him that, as
we'll Pay particular attention to his diet
giving him such nourishing foods as rare
steak, lamb chops, good milk, eggs, etc.
Above all, keep him out of doors all that
the weather permits. There is nothing
that will do him more good than plenty of
that is possible. BY carrying out these
general suggestions we shall hope to hear
soon that your son is improving in every
way. Very truly yours,
April 5, 1900. J. c. AVER"
You see, it wasn't only the
Aver medicines that we recon-
mended. The first idea of the
Doctor was to cure that boy.
The result is told in this letter:
"DEAR DR.. AVER:
"My little boy has improved so much
since received your advice that l want to
write and tell you how thankful ! am.
"When l first wrote YOU, on March
20, he only weighed 50 pounds, but now
he weighs 81 pounds; and all this gain
since the 9Th of April, when first began
to follow your directions.
please let me thank you again for what
you have done for my boy.

Perhaps it was the cod
liver oil; perhaps it was the
Cherry Pectoral. Probably it
was both. But, more than
either, it was the good, sound
advice the Doctor gave in the
first place. We are here to
serve you in just the same way,
and VIC will tell you the medi-
sine for your case Or tell you
what medicines to avoid.
Five out Of ten Of our cor
respondents need doctor
rather than a prepared medi-
cine, and we tell them SO. If
the doctors only knew it, We
are working with them every
day,

We trust that the act of General Joseph
Wheeler in saving the life of William j
Bryan, jr by grabbing that hopeful
young gentleman by the slack of his cos
tune just as he was about to take a
header from a third-story window, will
not be seized upon by the Republican
press as evidence of disloyaIty to the
Mckinley Administration on the part of
the general. That distinguished and agile
veteran of three wars would have acted
exactly in the same way if the imperiled
youngster had been Master Sartor1s in
stead of Master Bryan.

Circulation Statement.


In breathless suspense all civilized man

death that the allies are making in their
march to Pekin. despatch from General
Chafee advises our Government that the
column had arrived al Ho-si WI. halfway
TO the capital, on August 10. This morn

Chefoo, stating that the troops had adj
vanced ten miles farther on August IL
There is a chance, therefore, that the
relieving force may strike Pekin on We'd
aesday or Thursday. That its advent may
not be delayed beyond the latter day is
something 10 be hoped and prayed for. A
message from Sir Claude Macdonald, dated
August 6, says Cur situation here is
desperate In ten days our food supply
will be al an end. Unless we are relieved,
general massacre is probable" On
Thursday teen, the ten days Will be up,

correct, on Saturday they were within thir-
ty miles of their objective If they were
able to keep up their rate of progress from
Yangtsun to Host WI, they would be
able 10 cover the distance by today. Hence,
barring battle which might have TO be
fought before Pekin was reached, there is
yet forty-eight hours to spare before the
plight OF the legations becomes hopeless,
according to the prediction OF Sir Claude
Macdonald. The Shanghai correspondent
of the London Express claims knowledge
that the allied column was within twenty
miles Of Pekin on Sunday. That again
would represent another advance Of Ten
miles in a day. and probably is true. Ii
any more ground has been covered without

B. H. ROBERTS IS CUT.
The PoIygamist Congressnan-elect
Refused a Seat

Brigham H. Roberts, the poly
gamist, of Utah, who tried to squeeze
into the house of representatives, was
last Thursday refused a seat in that
body by vote of 27S to so.
The fight over Roberts has been
an animated one, and people in all
parts of the country, in all the walks
of life, have had much to say in the
matter. The contest has proved that 1T
is useless for a known polygamist
to try to get into the house of re-
representatives., and it has also shown
the necessity of contitutional amend
ment distinctly providing against
such an emergency in future
There is no doubt that congress
will soon submit an amendment to
the constitution and thus settled the
matter for all time and have mark
ed effect on those who have been
practicing polygamy. In word,
polygamy will become exceedingly
impracticable.
