Backed up by over third of century

record such as no other remedy for the
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to
women ever attained, the proprietors OF
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now
feel fully warranted in offering to pay
$500 in legal money of the United
States, for any case of Leucorrhea, Fe-
male Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling
of Womb which they cannot cure. All
they ask is fair and reasonable trial of
their means of cure.

Washington has been treated this

of sleighing. Sleighbells have been
jangling through the town for all the
high steppers have been out with every

is good in Washington but simply a
straightaway course over the asphalt

floor. The snow, however, lasted only
few hours for the warm weather that
always follows snow storm here,
carried the white coating rapidly away.

MAINE BOYS SUCCESS.
Orville p. Williams, One of the Leading
Cartoonists of the Country.

But 26 years old and chief cartoonist
of the Boston Herald, is the place that
Orville p. Williams, born and brought
up in Vassalboro, Me-, has made for
himself, and it is predicted by heads of
art departments all over the country
that he will some day outrank any
cartoonist America has ever produced.
This is but one of the many instances
constantly coming up that show what
Maine boys are made of, and make one
proud of their Pine Tree State.
Mr.. Williams began as an artist, but
owing to the failure of his fathers
health chad" as he says, ''to quit and
take up the wooden business which his
father owned" and adds with signifi-
canoe that having but little heart in
the business my career was a large and
elegant fizzle." He therefore, returned
to his art and at once attracted atten-
ton by his humorous drawings. His

May used to be regarded as desper-
ately unlucky month for weddings, but
as it comes at the loveliest season of the
year custom and convenience have ban
shed superstition and now the evil ban
is said to be removed.
In the selection of day it is interest
ing to remember the old rhyme which
says:
Monday for health,
Tuesday for wealth,
Wednesday the best day of all!
Thursday for crosses,
Saturday no luck at all.
1t is considered unlucky to change the
date of a wedding after it once has been
determined upon, and for that reason
many ceremonies are performed under
adverse circumstances sooner than suffer
an alteration of the plans.
All brides rejoice when the wedding
day is bright one, for they remember
til: oft quoted line: Happy is the bride
that the sun shines on" If the maiden
to be wed can squeeze out a few tears
on her wedding day-and this is not
usually difficult-it is said to insure her
future happiness.
1t is an old custom for the bride to cut
the first slice from her wedding cake.
This cake must invariably contain a
ring, which will signify a speedy mar
riage of the lucky person finding it.
The bridesmaid who catches the brides
bouquet will be the first one of the
guests to be married. 1t must be remem-
bered though that thrice bridesmaid,
never BRIDE
1t is also said that no maiden who de-
sires to be wed ever should sit upon a
table. as this unconventional resting
place will prove bar to matrimony.

Those stairs will be the death of me
yet! You have heard the expression
o. such sentiment, if, indeed, you have
| not felt the probability of the same un-
voiced prophecy.
Girls complain to me of backache,

year The flights to which they re-

girl is putting a severe strain on
her back when she goes upstairs using
a heavy fiat-footed tramp. She is I'M
comfortable. the heavy step Jars her
spine and head, and to make the ordeal
as short as possible she hurries, and
possibly runs. Naturally the body re-
monstrates at such unjust treatment.
I have watched carefully the manner
which most people adopt, and think
you will agree that this is a very COM
mon spectacle. One woman I fire.
quently see ascending stairs leans so
far over that when she turns the spir-
ial she invariably puts her hands on
the upper stairs.
Try another way if you want to feel
all the exhilaration and buoyancy of
an excellent exercise. Keep the
weight we'll over the advanced foot,
with the chest the furthest point for
ward. To strike only the ball of the
foot on the stair gives buoyancy of step
to most people, although some claim
they can place the whole foot lightly on
the stairs to good advantage.
Be sure and take your time. Re-
member you are lifting the weight of
the body, many times, and it is no light
exercise.
The work the back has to do ought to
be no greater going up stairs correctly
than when on level. The legs are the
members of your bodily community
which ought to perform that service
for you.
l have known medical authorities to
recommend walking up stairs correctly
as good exercise for reducing promi-
nent abdomen and relieving indiges-
ton.
Therefore. the commonly conceived
bugbear of some housekeepers may be-
come boon. They ought to reach the
top of the stairs exhilarated, feeling |
the glow of healthful exercise.s--'. Ned |

Williams an excellent opportunity to
caricature the funny situations. His
