She is perplexed about conditions of
which she cannot speak to any other.
She thinks of the family physician. But
her delicate nature shrinks from the
questions she might be called upon to
answer. And so without counsel or help
she drifts along while every day time
tightens the letters of disease.
Young women instinctively know that
certain conditions are abnormal. They
know that heads and backs were not
made to ache. But they do not know
where to turn for relief.

DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the
best medicine for the cure of womanly
ills. 1t not only cures headache and
backache but it cures the womanly ills
which cause these pains.

able books and medicines that have"
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
not offered as cure-all. 1t is woman's
medicine, and it accomplishes perfectly
the cure of womanly diseases. 1t estab-
fishes regularity. It dries unhealthy and

THEIR ANNUAL WALK.
Twenty-Five Young Women Home Again After
Fifty Mile Tramp.

'"s"ey'''" W. sVo"S "VuiS" tOWe again AttSr
Fifty Mile Tramp.
After three days OF tramping about
the country twenty-five young women
pupils of Rosemary Hall, Greenwich,
Conn.,, returned from what they call
their annual walk. They walked alto.
gether fifty miles. going to Round
Hill, Bedford, and New Canaan.
Along the way, which was chosen so
a. to avoid towns, the party was enter
tanned by different farmers, who, &C.
cording to their annual hospitable
custom, feasted the sch DOL girls in
great style.
Every now and then, however, just
for variety, the walkers cooked their
own meals, having carried with them
for that purpose plenty of frying pans
and kettles, as we'll as knives, forks,
spoons. cups and saucers. The walk
ing costumes used by each member of
the group consisted of a golf skirt,
flannel waist, soft hat, boots, o sweat
er, and extra shoes for an emergency.
This "annual walk" has long been
in vogue at the school, but only the
girls of athletic training are allowed
to participate in it.

Women suffering from diseases of long
standing are invited to consult DR.. Pierce
by letter, free. All letters are read in
private and answered in private, and the
written condolences of women are guard
ed by the same strict professional pri-
vacy observed in personal consultations
with DR.. Pierce, at the Invalids' Hotel and

A great many women who have taken
advantage of DR.. Pierce's offer of free
consultation by letter, have expressed
their qualification at being able to escape
In this way the indicate questionings,
the offensive examinations and obnox-
ious local treatments, considered neces-
sary by some local practitioners. DIR.
Pierce's wide experience and wonderful
success in the treatment and cure of
womanly diseases, enables him to obtain
accurate knowledge Of diseases by the
written statement. In little over thirty
years, assisted by his staff of nearly a
score of physicians, DR.. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo,
N. ", has treated and cured hundreds OF
thousands of weak and sickly women.
The dealer who offers a substitute for
"Favorite Prescription" as ujust as
good" does so to obtain the little more
profit paid by the sale of less meritorious
preparations. Accept no substitute for
"Favorite Prescription" the medicine

sick women we'll.

cups sugar and two tablespoonfuls of
flour together, and add to the rhubarb !;
then add the yoIks OF two eggs slight

rhubarb is soft. Cover with q merin-
que made of the whites beaten stiff,
and two tablespoonfuls OF powdered
sugar and continue heating. Pile
lightly on the pie and bake in slow
oven about Is minutes. If the rhu-
barb is scalded before using, some of
its acidity is lost, so less sugar is re-
quired.

Reporterial Enterprise.

exchange, has had an interesting en-
counter with an enterprising reporter.
He thus records his experience:
My experience Of the American re-
porter leads me to the conviction that
you must either accept him uncondi-
tionally or reject him absolutely. No
temporizing or attempt to dodge him
will pay. Perhaps the oldest speci-
men OF an American journalist that
/ met was q man in Cincinnati. He
called on me one night, told me that
he was racked and torn with religious
doubts, and asked my guidance.
With such reasoning and thought as
I had at command I tried to help him
to clearer view, and he went away
full Of gratitude. Imagine my as
tonishment when, next day, 1 found
this young gentleman posing through
out the interview as profound
thinker while l figured feebly as q
shallow sophist.

Stuffed Potatoes.

A satisfying tea dish is found in
stuffed potatoes. Wash and bake one
or more potatoes for each person.
Bake them in their Jackets" Try
them with skewer. When done, cut
off the top OF each and scoop out the
inside with teaspoon. Mash the po-
tato scooped out, and for each table,
spoon of potato add half a tablespoon
OF chopped ham or tongue. half tea
spoonful of chopped parsley and a
piece of butter about the size of a wal
nut; a dust of salt and pepper. Beat
one egg thoroughly and mix all in.
Neatly fill the skins of the potatoes,
rounding it up in heap on top Of
each one. Rebake until thoroughly
hot and serve.
Rhubarb.
As q fruit rhubarb forms a most
pleasing addition to the spring diet.
Containing as it does a large amount
OF oxalic acid, it assists nature very
materially in stirring the activities Of
the system which have become slug
gish during the winter. The early use
of its leaves was as pot herb, but the
now common use Of its tender stalks
as fruit gives wholesome and early
spring dish. There are many ways of
preparing rhubarb for the table, but it
would be difficult to find better or
simpler way than to serve it rs plain
sauce, but there is a right and wrong
way to do even that. Skin, cut in
half-inch pieces, put over the fire in .
porcelain sauce pan, cover with boil
ing water. After boiling five minutes,
drain off the water, set back on the
stove and add the sugar, putting in, a.
some one has said, al your conscience
will permit, and then shut your eyes
and add another cup. Dip the prongs
of silver fork into the rhubarb and
then into the soda jar, adding what
adheres to the fork to the rhubarb.
As soon as the sugar comes to the boil
take it from the stove and empty in an
earthen bowl to cool.
