An
Invitation
to
Women

All the world knows of the wonder
full cures which have been made by
Lydia 4. Pinxham's Vegetable Com
pound, yet some women do not realize
that all that is claimed for it is abso-
lutely true.
If all suffering women could be made
TO believe that Mrs. Pinkham can do
all she says she can, their suffering
would be at an end, for they would
at once profit by her advice and be
cured.
There is no more puzzling thing than
that women will suffer great pain
month after month when every woman
knows of some woman whom Mrs.
Pinkham has helped, as the letters
from grateful women are constantly
being published at their own request.
The same arrangements which make
painful or irregular periods with
dull backaches and headaches, and
dragging-down sensations, presently
develop into those serious infiamma-
lions of the feminine organs which
completely wreck health.
Mrs. Pinkham invites women to
write freely and confdentially to her
about their health and get the benefit
of her great experience with the suf-
ferings of women. No living person
can advise you so well. No remedy In
the world has the magnificent record
OF Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound for absolute cures of female

1t is surprising what number Of lit
tie things we do without knowing the
reason.
Why, for instance, do widows wear
caps? Perhaps you may say because
they make them look pretty and inter
esting. But the real reason is that
when the Romans were in England they
shaved their heads as a sign of mourn
ing. OF course, a woman couldn't let
herself be seen with bald head, so she
made herself a pretty cap. And now,
though the necessity of wearing 1t has
passed away, the cap remains.
Why do we have bows on the left side
of our hats? In olden times when men
were much in the open air and hats
couldn't be bought for half dollar 1t
was the habit to tie cord around the
crown and let the ends fall on the left
side to be grasped on the arising OF
squall. They fell on the left side so
they might be grasped by the left hand,
the right usually being more usefully
engaged. Later ON the ends got to be
tied in a bow, and later still they be-
came useless; yet the bow has remained,
aud will probably remain till the next
deluge or something OF chat sort.
What is the meaning of the crosses or
KS on a barrel of beer? They signify
degrees Of quality nowadays. But orig
inally they were put on by those ancient
monks as a sort of trade mark. They
were crosses In those days, and meant
sort of oath on the cross, sworn by the
manufacturer that his barrel contained
good liquor.
Why are bells tolled for the dead
This has become so familiar a practice
that funeral without it would appear
unchristian. Yet the reason is quite
barbarous. Bells were tolled long ago,
when people were being buried. In order
to brighten way the evil spirits who
lived In the air.
Why do fair ladies break bottle of
wine on the ship they are christening
Merely another survival OF barbaric
custom. In the days of sacrifice to the
gods 1t was customary to get some poor
victim when a boat was being launched
and to cut his throat over the PROV, sc
that his blood baptized II.
Why are dignitaries deafened by
salute when they visit foreign port
1t seems a curious sort of welcome this
firing off of guns, but 1t seems the Gus
tom arose in a very reasonable way
Originally a town or warship fired of
their guns on the approach of importan
and friendly strangers to show tina
they had such faith In the visitors

necessary to keep their guns loaded.
Why do we sometimes throw a sho

complimentary. From Of old it ha
been the habit of mothers to chastis
their children with shoe. Hence tn
custom arose OF the father Of a brid
making present to the bridegroom of

right to keep her in order.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

By local applications. as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

INNOCENCE
NICE YOUNG MAN VISITS MR
BUTLEB.
And Relieves Him Of u Fine Horse
and Buggy.

r. r. Butler. the livery man, hasn't
half as much Of the milk Of human kind
ness in his heart as he had last week.
He is also shy horse and buggy.
Sunday morning well dressed, inno-
cent looking young man called at his sta
bic and wanted a horse and buggy to
drive out to the house of his brother,
eight miles in the country. He said his
brothers name was Shearer, and that he
was a farmer. IT don't think 7 can be
back until o'clock" continued the
youth, with open faced candor ''but I
will feed and water the horse and take
good care Of him"
The young man acted so charmingiy
unsophisticated that Mr.. Butler wouldn't
hesitate moment to give him his gold
watch if he had wanted it.
Well, to make a long story short, the
young man failed 20 turn up Sunday
night or Monday morning, and a special
messenger was sent out to where Mr..
shearer was supposed to live. The entire
country was secured and no trace or It'd
ings Of Farmer Shearer could be found.
The Oldest inhabitant never knew a man
Of that name to reside IN the locality. The
messenger came back and the case was
transferred to Sheriff Simmons.
Mr.. Butler has been IN tn elivery bust
ness a long time. but this is his first ex-
perence with. an innocent looking young
man. He sort Of believes yet that the
lad was simply a dupe In the hands of
some professional horsethief After the
horse was taken out Of the barn the
young man drove it to the corner Of
Douglas and st. Francis, where another
man got into the rig with him, and then
they drove east. The man on the cor
ner is supposed to be the arch villain in
the case, or at least Mr.. Butler thinks so.
The loss to Mr. Butler will be at least
$50, to say nothing Of his loss Of conf
dence in innocent looking human nature.

nUscLE AID NoT FAT.
What Thin People Need to Round 0


What Thin People Need tO Round on
the Corners.
What thin folks need is flesh or muscle,
not fat
To be symmetrical and properly pro-
portioned every person should have a Ger
tain amount of excess flesh. but TO be
plump does not necessarily mean to be
fat
Fat is undesirable; It clogs and retards
the action Of the muscles. interferes with
the healthy action Of the heart and lungs
and when very excessive, pred1sposes 10
fatty degeneration of vital organs, to say
nothing Of the discomfort resulting from
too much adiDose tissue.
Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become heshy and plump
the thing most needed would be flesh
forming food; that IS, albuminous foods
like eggs, beef. oatmeal. etc.
The kinds OF food which make flesh are
the foods we have on our tables every
day; but the trouble is that our stom-
achs, from weakness or arrangement Of
some kind do not promptly and properly
digest it
Really the principal reason so many
people remain thin IS because their stom-
aches do not properly and completely d.
gest and assimilate the flesh forming
beefsteak and eggs we eat every day.
There are thousands of such people. and
they are really dyspeptics although they
may not suffer any particular pain or In
convenience from their stomaehs.
If such persons and all thin people
would take after their meals some. simple
and natural digestive. like Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. the food would be quickly
digested and the proper degree Of plump
ness very soon result because these tab
lets are prepared exactly for that pur-
pose. They digest every variety of flesh
forming food, which is the real reason
why they so quickly build up and
strengthen thin, dyspeptic men and
women.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure every
form of Indigestion on this common sense
plan, that they thoroughly digest the food
promptly, giving strength to every nerve
and organ in the body. and the weakened
stomach a chance to rest and recover its
natural vigor. Nothing further is re-
quired to cure any stomach trouble, ex-
cept cancer Of the stomach. They make
thin. dyspeptc people strong, plump and
