in which the meetings were to be held,
after two days postponement, in order
to enable those who were storm
bound to reach Washington, the con-
gress opened with every speaker
ready.
Mothers clubs have since been form
ed all over the country, and many or
CARNATIONS primarily devoted tt other
objects have made child study a
branch of their work.
The fourth annual congress, which
is to be held at Des Moines for one
week, beginning May q, promises to
be a brilliant success. The invitation
for the congress to meet in Des Moines
was extended by the Governor of Iowa,
the mayor of the city, the president
of the Commercial Exchange and rep
resentatiye organizations. The Audi
forum, the largest and handsomest
meeting place in the town, has been
placed at the ladies' disposal, and the
entertainment of 1000 delegates in pri-
vate homes has been arranged for,
while hotels have promised special
rates to strangers attending the con-
vention. During the congress the
public schools of the city are to be
closed, in order that the teachers may
attend the meetings, and both State
and city superintendent of instruction
are expected to be honored guests.
The speakers will include the most
eminent specialists in child study.
The first session will w in the

receive letters from persons given up
by local physicians as incurable. And
II is an every day matter to have these
same people whose cure was 'impos-
sible" writing to say that they are per-
fectly and permanently cured by the
kind advice of DR.. Pierce and the use
of his Golden Medical Discovery. >
They can hardly believe it themselves.
The obstinate cough is entirely, gone.
There are no more hemorrhages. The
weak lungs are made strong. The
body is again healthy and active, and
has put on many pounds of solid,
wholesome flesh.

ceived from your wonderful medi-
cines," writes Mrs. Harrette Martin, of

and was unable to do anything at all.
In the summer of 1898 I was Obliged to
go to bed. Had smothering spells and
a great misery in the lower bowels and
a very severe cough. For twelve
weeks I was treated by three of the

Remarkable as this cure may seem,
1t is only a fair example of a class of
cures performed every day by the use

pamphlet suggests as a forlorn hope

the result is perfect healing.

1t Is not good form to ask for a sec
ond helping of fish.
Never use the fingers TO separate the
bones from the eatable portion OF fish.
In eating FISH the fork should be used
with the right hand. and should be
pointed no more directly toward the
mouth than is necessary TO put the
food between the lips.
Never pile the food up on the back
Of the fork. and never use the fork with
the left hand while eating fish.
When cucumbers are served with fish
they should be taken on the same plate.
Little plates or auceT for cucumbers,
vegetables or salads are in bad form.
At formal dinners white wine is usual
~ served with fish.
IL is customary TO garnish fish with
vatercresss which may be eaten from
the fingers.

TIE LITTLE JOKE
OF A GREAT ARCHITECT.
PEOPLE WHO PERFORM I'M
POSSIBILITIES.

Sir Christopher Wren. architect Of
that great English cathedral, ST.
Paul's, in London, once played q little
joke on some important clients. He
hac designed a public building for the
law courts, and Immediately over one
of the entrances the design showed an
oyerhanging balcony. The learned
men who passed upon the plans told
the architect that it was impossible
that so great a weight as the proposed
balcony could be sustained without
supporting pillars. The architect ar
gued and pleaded. He knew what was
possible in his profession. He knew
the laws of gravity. He would stake
his reputation on the stability of this
balcony unsupported. But all mis- elo-
quence was vain. The wise men of
the committee knew better. That bal
cony could not stand without pillars.
So the pillars were put in place under
the projecting stone, and the wise men
were satisfied. ~.
That's where the joke came in.
Long years passed away. Sir Chris
TOPPER was dead and the wise men who
thought they knew more than he of
architecture were dead also.
One day it entered into the heads of
the powers that be to renovate the
building. So men on ropes, and lad
ders, and platforms, were soon swarm
ing and swinging about the front OF
the grimy edifce.
And then came the discovery.
They found that the pillars supposed
to support the balcony did not reach
1t by two or three inches. So all these
years the balcony had been self sup
ported Just as the architect planned,
and the pillars were of no more SER
vice than a fifth wheel to a coach.
THINGS SEEMING IMPOSSIBLE
are performed by men like Christopher
Wren, who are masters of their own
profession. When it was proposed to
send the first steam ship across the
Atlantic, it was demonstrated to be
impossible.
TO men of genius and ability things
are possible which t lesser men of
lesser minds are impossible.
This is one of the facts brought into
prominence by the practice of DIR. R.

stitute Of Buffalo, N. Y.

THE WAY OF NATURE is THE WAY
OF HEALTH.
The reason for the success Of DIR.
Pierce's treatment lies primarily in
the fact hat it works in perfect CO.
operation with nature. A great deal
is said and written about blood-mak-
ing medicines. But no medicine can
make a drop of blood. Blood is made
from food, which is properly digested
and perfectly assimilated. THE blood
is the life" it is the vital force. But
blood depends on food. Starve the
body and the life goes out of it.
1t is this great fact, that the source
of the life supply is in the stomach,
which underlies DIR. Pierce's treatment.
Among the first symptoms of disease
is loss of appetite, and this is gener-
ally associated with weak stomach,
q dicooccd condition nf tho e4np,oah
which permits only imperfect digestion
and partial assimilation of food. But
when this condition of weak stom-
ach exists, there must be a collateral
weakness Of other organs, which all
depend on their stomach for their
blood supply, their vital power. The
weak" stomach does deak work, and
hence the entire blood supply is dim
inished and the organs are imperfect
ly nourished. The consequence of
weak" stomach does weak work, and
lungs, weak heart, or weakness OF
some other organ.
1t is evident, then, that nothing can
be done to give strength to weak
lungs until something gives strength
to the weak stomach. For the
strength of the lungs must come from
the stomach and organs of digestion
and nutrition. Hence DIR. Pierce's AK
ION: Diseases that originate in a
diseased condition of the stomach are
cured through the stomach" Golden
Medical Discovery cures diseases of
the stomach and digestive system. 1t
increases the activity of the blood
making glands and SO causes a rich
and pure supply of blood to be poured
into the weak organs. 1t eliminates
the clogging accumulations which
make the blood a breeding ground for
disease. 1t builds up the body with

THE PROPER Way
TO EAT YOUR FISH.
A Little Lesson in Table Etiquette
for Those who Want Always to do
the Rfgh Thing.

the Right Thing.
BY HELEN WARD.
Fish is served at dinner usually as a
second course.
1t should be eaten with an ordinary
fork.
The bones must be evaded with such
dexterity as n can command with
out other aid than such as a bit of
bread held in the left hand may fur
nish.
1t is considered extremely bad form
to use a knife in dissecting a portion
of fish.
A little modern fish knife. with an
ingenious fork arrangement on one
side, is now made and will be found
usually at the tables of the ultra-fash-
ionable, but is not in general usage.
a bit of lemon is served with broiled
and baked fish, and it is in correct form
to use the fingers in pressing the juice
from the lemon over the fish.
Potatoes are considered a proper ac-
cessory to the fish course.
With a boiled fish the potatoes are
also usually boiled, cut into bits or
scooped out and garnished with a little
melted butter and chopped parsley.
With broiled or baked fish potatoes
are served en- croquette Parisienne or
maitre d'hotel.
Sliced cucumbers with plain French
dressing are also served with the fish
course.

The mothers of America will meet at
Des Moines, Ia, May 81, to COM
pare maternal experiences. They will
decide upon the best ways of rearing
the youth Of the land. The meeting
is, in its effects, more important than
any gathering of politicians bent upon
selecting a national executive officer,
for its avowed object is the influencing
of the character of the great American
people of the future. 1t is customary
to sheer at idealists, but, while the
Mothers Congress is a gathering of
such, it consists of idealists who have
demonstrated the practical benefit
which their theories are capable of
yielding.
The American Congress of Mothers
held its first session February, 1897, in
Washington; the second in May, 1898,
and the third in February, 1899. With
the fourth convention, the organiza-
ton is established as one of the most
influential and useful among women
which the latter half of the nineteenth
century has seen rise to power and
usefulness.
Mrs. Theodore w. Birney, CT Wash
ington, originated and organized the
Mothers Congresses. She is a southern
woman, a native of Marietta, Ga, the
daughter of L. C. Mcclellan, a man of
intellect, wealth and social position.
When quite young, she was married to
Alonzo j. White, Jr., a scion of one of
the old families of Charleston, S. c.
Mr.. White died 20 months after the
marriage leaving his young wife with
a daughter, now a young woman of
Is years of age. After a number of
years the widow of Mr.. White married
Mr.. Theodore Weld Birney, a brilliant
Washington lawyer, the grandson of
James G.. Birney, who in 1910 and 1914
was the presidential candidate of the
Free Soil party. Two more daughters
were born to Mrs. Birney, and these
aroused her mind to a lively interest
in pathology. Mrs. Birney is a woman
of education in the broad sense of the
word, which signifies absorption and
adaptation practical to uses of the
knowledge of books. She has read
widely and thought deeply, and to her
it seemed that the great accumulation
of facts which philosophers and sci
entists had evolved in reference to
the young would be of immense value
if brought to the attention of the mil
lions of mothers in the world. Mrs.
Birney mentioned her idea of popular
izing knowledge of this sort to Mrs. |
Adlai Stevenson, her husbands cousin,
and to Mrs. Phoebe Hearst. Both la
dies were delighted with the idea and
advised Mrs. Birney to call a confer
ence of mothers at Washington and
promised their assistance.
Mrs. Birney sent out in the spring of
1896 a circular letter to philanthropists
and educators asking what they
though of such a congress. These re-
piled promptly and with enthusiasm in
favor of the plan. Organizations all
over the country were asked to coop
crate and send representatives to the
congress. The majority of them re-
sponded with enthusiasm. On the
morning of the day set for the opening
Of the convention the banquet room of

erfowing before the appointed hour,
