uPain In the head and back is form
of suffering with which so many women
are familiar. Often this pain is asso-
ciated with nervousness, sleeplessness
and loss of appetite. The cause of such
suffering is generally to be traced to
arrangement of the woman1y function,
or a diseased condition of the delicate
womanly organs.
In such cases the action of DIR. Pierce's

the prompt relief of pain and permanent

Dresses the Summer Girl Should Have

A gown of light summer silk, such
as foulard, India or surah, will be
needed for church and cool evenings.
A gown of flannel or lightweight
serge made up without a lining is
among the most sensible and useful to
include in ones list of summer dresses.
The linen and cotton ducks cannot
be excelled for all.round usefulness. If
a girl has one or two of these white
skirts with a couple of white blouses
she can feel perfectly at ease no matter
where she may be, nor what the occa-
sion at which she must put in an ap-
pearance.
A thin white gown for special Occa-
sions is absolutely necessary. Linen,
Persian lawn, dimity, organdy, and the
many figured Swisses are all lovely
materials from which to make gown
which will be suitable for the many
little impromptu affairs which spring
up in the summer time.-May Ladies'

EAT HIS WIFE.
How a Converted African Chief Mado
Himself Eligible for BAPTISM.

A missionary returned from equa-
torial Africa told this story at a minis
ters' club the other night to illustrate
his remark that the bringing of heath
en- into the fold didn't begin to be the
biggest job that the missionary had on
| his hands.
In this mans territory there was q
chief who had resisted every appeal to
make him a Christian. He was the
biggest man in sort of confederation
of savage tribes, and the missionary
knew that if the big chief were once
converted the effect would be felt by
every native within fifty miles. So
the missionary kept after him month
in and month out. in face of every kind
of indifference and rebuff. z
At the end of two years the mission
ary was all but ready to give up, when
one day the miracle came to pass-the
big chief heart was touched by the
truths of Christianity. The missiona-
ry redoubled his efforts, and in two
months more the big chief offered him
self for baptism.
It looked like a great victory won,
until, in examining the new convert,
the missionary discovered that accord
ing to the chiefly prerogative, he had
two wives. The missionary expressed
his horror, indignation, and grief to
the chief.
He explained to him how the state
of polygamy was barrier to any one
who wished to become Christian.
Then he prayed with.him and the chief
departed, weeping over his un1tness.
But month later he came again.

THE AVERAGE cow.
She Consumes Lots of Food and Rem
ders as Little Return There
for as Possible.

AS the average man is not the
ideal man, so the average cow is not
the ideal COW for dairying. AS re-
CARDS the cow the trouble is that
she eats and exists upon a mans
farm, doing only half the work she
ought to do, and she consumes as
much food, or perhaps more, than
about 5000 pounds of milk yearly,
while she ought to give as many quarts
of better milk, says the Dairy and
Creamery. Her structure is gener-
ally the reverse of what it should
be; her head is too large, and her
shoulders wider than her hips; be-
sides she has tendency to put fat
upon her caul and not in her milk,
and has ample storage capacity for
everything except milk. She is a
parasite, which, according to Mr..
Gould, "eateth by MONDAY and
wasteth a mans substance by
night" In this way she beats all
the trusts and rings of which man
kind complains. AS cow size is one
that uses health and vigor to con-
sumo food and renders as little re-
turn therefor as possible.
The average COW may be good for
other purposes than dairying. 1t
matters not that her blood is mix
ture of the good and bad elements;
proper training and careful feeding
may raise her above the average.
Keeping account with dairy cows
and employing the most judicious
and best tried methods of feeding
and treatment will improve the milk
giving properties of the stock.
The average COW cannot be blotted
out, as a race, on short notice. But
much can be done in raising the av-
erage and increasing the yield OF
milk. The average COW and the
wooden plow go well together, but
even the home dairies require bet
ter stock than that.

The Average Mans Ideal.

A woman who says she has had eX-
perience, having had two husbands
and three sons, gives the following
opinions of man and his little prefer
ences: IA man of mediocrity-and
that means most husbands. or, at least,
every other woman's husband-has
his ideal of wife.
1.-THE kind he likes dresses handsome
ly and becomingly on very small al
lowance. She must never go into
debt for anything, but must always
pay ready money, whether she can
manage to get it from him or not.
.Her Jewels must on no account be
eclipsed by those of any other women
of her set, but when she buys them,
and the bill comes in, her husband is
furious about the outlay.
HE sulks for week, but then he
would have sulked quite as l0Dg if, at
the last dinner party, she had shone a
secondary star to any lady of their
acquaintance.
IA man loves his wife to be gentle
and sympathetic to hsmself. If she is
too much so to her boys, and they take
advantage of it and get into debt and
go to her to help them out, then he
says Bother sympathy.
eff she is too good to the poor, and
gives them of the household abundance,
he is apt to be cynical and censorious
talks of encouraging parcel of idle
rogues' of 'Indiscriminate charity,
and the harm it does, and of the danger
of pauperizlng the needy.
None of these considerations, how
ever, prevent him from giving to
charities that print his name at the
head of the subscription lists, or fork
ing out quarter for cases that come
under his immediate notice. 1t is only
the wife who is to subordinate her
kindly impulses to considerations OF
political economy.
"a man likes his wife to be cheerful

make and keep her so, but he disap

NEW DRUG WORTH
$1,000 A POUND
Most Powerful Astringent Known to Medi.
cal Science.

One OF the newest, most important
and most expensive drugs on earth Il
adrenalin. Those who are not physi
clans will be first interested in learning
that adrenalin costs 81 grain tina
is, $1,000 pound.
| Now the gold that is coined into
beautiful yellow eagles is valued only
at about $215 a pound. So adrenalir
is worth at least SO times its weight
in double eagles. A solution of adrena
lin, one part to thousand of the
solvent, sells for 81 a fluid ounce. A
fluid ounce is two tablespoonfuls; So
! if you do not really need adrenalin you
can buy with the money it costs the
best wine that ever graced the table OF
a Lucullus.
So much for the sordid value in
money of this new and dear drug.
Much more important is the claim
made for it that its properties render
it valuable to humanity beyond all
price. Indeed, it is confidently assert
ed that this drug is an equal boon to
mankind with either or quinine. The
discoyerer of adrenalin declares that
by it's use minor surgical operations
can be performed without the loss by
the patient of drop of blood.
Adrenalin's discoverer is Japanese
by birth, an American by adoption
and marriage, DR.. Jokichi Takamine.
DR.. Takamlne claims that adrenalin is
the most powerful astringent, hemosta-
tic and heart tonic known. If you do
not know what an astringent is, bite
an unripe pomegranate. Its astring-
ent effect will pucker up your mouth.
Just SO adrenalin Fuckers up the
walls of tie smaller blood vessels so
that the blood cannot flow from them
even if their ends are severed. That
is what a "hemostatic is, another OF
the wise doctors big Latin words.
In surgical cases where chloroform
must be used it is of the greatest
possible value to know that adrenalin
can be injected into vein and prevent
such heart failure as an overdose of
ch1oroform often causes. This action
of adrenalin, it is claimed, has been
proved by many experiments.
There is peculiar disease named
after the man who first best described
it. "Addison's disease" 1t is accom-
panied by and ascribed to changes in
the suprarenal capsule, and is charac
terized by the patients sudden and
fast-growing weakness. Besides, his
body becomes mottled with spots which
range in color from light yellow to
slaty blue black. The strange thing is
that adrenalin has been found most
useful in the treatment of the obscure
Addison's disease. And even the
learned doctors don't know why.
