cause of such a physical change, which
is not TO be explained by the stress and
strain of daily labor, because there are
not a few who, in spite of years of steady
work, retain the girlish attractiveness of

portant cause Of this change is to be
found in the prevalence of ailments
peculiarly femme, which drain the vi
tality and sap the strength. If the truth
were known il would be found that these
worn out women had been working

No woman should delay the use OF
oFavorite Prescription" if she is suffer-
ing from womanly disease. The longer
womanly disease is neglected the greater
its effect on the general health, and the
slower the cure. There is no object
in experimenting with other medicines
when the experience of thousands of
women proves that "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" is the surest and safest of put-up
medicines for the cure of disease pecu-
liarly womanly.

A DOLLAR OUT OF CIRCULATION.

Here is the experience of a
farmer near Brennan, Texas,
related to the Brennan Banner,
which affords an experience that
can be easily verified by anyone.
Ten years ago he put an mark
on a silver dollar and came to
town and spent it with a mer-
chant. Before the year was out
he got the dollar back for farm
produce aud spent it again with
a Brennan merchant; four times
in six years that dollar came
home to him for produce, and
three times he heard of it in the
pockets of his neighbors. The
last time he got it in charge,
nearly four years ago he sent it
to big Chicago mail order house
that has amassed a hundred mil
lion dollars by selling third rate
goods at second rate prices. He
has not seen the marked dollar
since and never will till the crack
of doom. The dollar will never
pay any more school or road tax
for him, never help to build up
the town or county, never help to
brighten the homes of his neigh
bors. He sent it entirely out of
the circuit of it's usefulness to
him. -Ex.
Every dollar sent out of Fitz-
gerald for job work will be a
long time finding it's way back
into the stores or bank vaults of
the city.

NEW CURE FOR BADNESS.
Odd Thing Told in All sertousn ess On
London Paper About Hair
Growing.

A North country farmer who has
reached a good old age states that his
second crop of hair, which has come
after period of badness, is due to the
application of nettles as hair re-
storer, says the London Express.
When a young man the farmer was
anxious to grow beard, and hit upon
the expedient of experimenting with
the nettles. Every night before going
to bed he applied singing nettle to
his chin. Next morning his face was
red and swollen; but the application
of a little sour milk soon remedied
that. And the beard grew quickly.
On becoming bald, the farmer recol-
lected the treatment of his young
days, and slept for several nights in a
night cap filled with neftles. The
sensation was at first painful, but after
time the nettles appeared to induce
sleep. and a plentiful crop of hair was
the result.
