Their away from her and presently when
she sank down exhausted in q swamp
the light disappeared altogether.
Whatever truth there may be In the
story, it forcibly illustrates the career of
many a woman who has followed the
marsh fire of love in the belief that 1t led
to home and comfort and found herself
at last exhausted and deceived.
IT'S A BITTER LESSON
learned by many woman who thought
love all-sufficient, that love alone cannot
be the foundation of the home. It needs
health. Strange as It may seem the
beautiful loving woman who Is weak
may lose the love of the husband for
whom she broke all home ties, while on
the other hand a woman who has no
greater dover than robust health may
win and hold the love of her husband
past all possibility of loss. The first re-
quisite OF marriage is health. The wifes
firstvnecessity is health. Health must
be the mothers or she will know no
happiness in her children. What makes
ill-health so common among women!
Why do they suffer with headache, back
ache and pains past description These
sufferings are in general caused by dis
ease of the delicate womanly organs, and
they are in general durable by the use of
DIR. Pierce's Favsrite Prescription.

WOMEN WHO ARE LED A.
STRAY BY MISCHIEF.
Gus MARSH FIRES.

Illustrative of the baneful power OF the
marsh fire, there is told the story of a
woman who lost her way. She turned
in this direction and In that, hopelessly
puzzled as to her whereabouts in the
murky night. Presently ahead OF her
she saw the CLEAN Of light. At once
she saw in fancy the picture of home, the
lamp in the window, the coy comfort of
those under the shelter of the protecting
roof, rcurtained and closed and warm.o
Steadfastly she moved towards the light.
But as she moved it seemed to change
its position. 1t was always a little far.

While using them closely. they
should be rested ut intervals Of an
bour or two, for the strain Of con-
slant reading or sewing is like that
of extending the arms at a certain
height immoyable. Imagine the
taxing of the eyes, which cannot
complain save after years of ire
parable neglect. When dust settles
in the eyes, warm water will sootht
them of any inflammation; rose water
is extremely soothing and re-
freshing, but it should be bought
in small quantities, as it keeps but
short time. Five cents worth
will give daily bath for severa
weeks. Tea leaves and alum water

fathers used, but in these modern
