Facts
for
Women

ANY article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
rpeans of advertising. Advertising,
however, though IL can do much for q
thing, cannot do everything. le may
create a sale for a time, but In order
10 insure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
Is lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.

| Episcopalians and the Lutherans, but
the Greek and Armenian Churches
concur in accepting December 20 as
the date of the BIRTH of Jesus.
Most of the Calvinists. on the other
hand, on both sides of the Atlantic,
long declined to make the day festi-
val, regarding the commemoration of
it as a Popish superstition. Native
Americans, who are able to look back
some so years, can remember when,
in New England, but little heed was
paid to Christmas, the principal holi
day at that period of the year being
Thanksgiving Day. 1t is an interest
ing fact that. up to the tardy adoption
of the reformed Gregorian Calendar in
England, the day celebrated for
Christmas was about II days too late,
and nearly conceded with Epiphany,
on which day, as we have said. up to
the close of the fourth century, the
birth of Christ was supposed to have
occurred. Long after the reform of
the Julian Calendar was accepted in
England the birth of Christ was cele-
brated in parts of rural England on
what was called Old Christmas.
Before the reformation the Christ
mas holidays lasted much longer in
England than they do now. An Of
ficer, the lord of misrule Tin Scotland
called the abbot of unreason). was ap-
pointed to superintend the revels; his
reign began on All-Hallow Eve. the
evening before November 1. and last
ed till Candlemas day, that is to say,
till February 2. We have greatly
curtailed the season of rejoicing. and
not many are now left who remember
that New Christmas is one thing and
old Christmas another-New York

THE DATE OF CHRISTMAS.

Why it is Fixed on the 25th of
December.
When one considers how generally
Christmas day is now celebrated in
this country it is curious that so few
persons should pause to ask them
selves on what grounds the 25th of
December has been selected to COM
meGnOrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
How could He have been born in
December, which, in Palentine, was
coincident with the rainy season. in
which it is scarcely possible that
shepherds could have been tending
their fiocks by night amid the fields
near Bethlehem?
AS matter of fact. it was not until
the fifth century of our era that the
25th OF December was generally ac-
cepted as the anniversary of the
SaviOur's birth. During the first
four centuries that anniversary ap-
pears to have been kept conformity
with the feast of the Epiphany, on
the 9Th of January; that is to say, on
Twelfth day. After Christianity,
however. in the course of the fourth
century, was first tolerated, and then
made the state religion of the Roman
Empire, a tendency arose to throw the
festival back into the last week of
December, either from the influence
of some tradition or from the desire,
strongly felt in more than one direc-
Gion, to suDpiant the heather festivals
which had fallen in that period of the
year, such as the Saturnalia. Angus
zine. VINO died in A. D. 430. mentions
December % as in his time the
$aviour's birth, while ,Chrysostom,
who died III A. D. 4O7. speaks of the
celebration OF that particular day as a
custom imported from the west of the
Adriatic wfthdm 10 years. Nowadays
not only the Roman Catholics, the
