promises only happiness ends In disap-
Pointment and misery.
This is very true of marriage. The
young wife goes heart and soul into
home making and housekeeping. She
loves to cook and prepare the dainties
her husband enjoys. She is so robust
and hearty that she can hardly find
enough to do to exhaust her abundant
energy. That's the way it begins. At.
ter while she finds that it takes all her
strength to care for her home. Then
household cares begin to overtax her,
and she drops down into chair many
time and gives way to tears because of
her weakness and misery. The sky so
cloudless on the morning Of marriage
has soon become overcast.
THE CRITICAL. TIME
In many woman's life comes lust &C
this period of Encouragement and de-
spair. She finds indications of disease
OF the delicate womanly organs. Her
women friends perhaps tell her that the
bearing down sensation, the pains in the
back and loins indicate disease or dis
placement. She consults physicians,
takes prescribed treatments, all to no
avail. And yet this wonlans case is
durable on the evidence of women who
have been cured.

of Glenwood, Washington Co., Oregon.

It can truthfully be said that there is

It is worth noting that these cures
are lasting. Many medicines offered for
wo,nen,s use are mere palliatives. They
numb the nerves and so dull the pain.

to sacrifice herself for her family. She
goes without the new dress that husband
or child may have some coveted pleasure,
And for economy's sake she often bears
the ills which are undermining her
health. 1t is.a false economy. The
health of the wife and mother is the
most important factor in the home life,

John Sutfn, of Campbell township,
was in Miller Tuesday, on n OF his
semi.annual trips to the county
seat. John is a sort of rejuvinated
pioneer. He has remained in north
west Hand since 1882. principally
because he couldn't get away, but is
now prospecting, and glad that he
did stay, even through necessity.
About seven years ago he lost all
he had by fire. That is, all but the
courage OF himself anu good wife.
They started in again with n few
cows, and now have $50 head OF
good cattle. They milk some %
cows, make butter, aud are in shape
to look the world in the face and
smile. There are, the PRESS is
pleased to say, a number OF these
old timers, who are now doing well,
after the h~ardships and losses OF
early days. Whenever we see one OF
them we feel like saying "God bless
you, and make your old days more
comfortable than those gone be-
fore"

the s 100 supper, except at the lat
ter price an opportunity il offered.
to contribute TO conceededly neces.
sary enterprise whatever one feels
disposed to make. be it %, so or 70
cents. We hope to be able to secure
the already famous Miller Cornet

The weather is a very common

nothing could be OF greater surprise

weather. On Feby. 9Th, when this

snow at all. Once or twice an inch

five or six days out OF each week the
whole winter through have been
warm and sunshiny. People 60

else out OF doors, while cattle, sheep

the prairies. These things are C ON
mon to people who have been here
for years, but many eastern people
would say such things were impossi-
ble in this northern latitude. The
only logical reason for these condi-
,tions existing here is the dryness OF
the atmosphere. Semi arid condi-
tions give us these magnificent win

Pity
and
Beauty

The most beautiful thing in
the world is the baby, all
dimples and JOY. The most
pitiful thing is that same baby,
thin and in pain. And the
mother does not know that a
little fat makes all the differ
ence.
Dimples and JOY have gone,
and left hollows and fear; the
fat, that was comfort and
color and curve-all but pity
and love--is gone.
The little one gets no fat
from her food. There is some
thing wrong;ltls either herIooo
or food-mill, She has had no
fat for weeks; is living on what
she had stored in that plump
little body of hers; and that is
gone. She is starving for fat
it is death, be quick!

Liver Oil is the fat she can
take; it will save her.
