A nervous, irritable mother. often on the verge of Mysteries, is
unfit to care for children; 1t ruins a childs disposition and reacts
upon herself The trouble between children and their mothers
too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female
weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves
that governing a child involves; ii IS impossible for her to do anything
calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and
shattered nerves caused by some arrangement of the uterine system
with backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge
of nervous prostrauon.
When a mother finds that she cannot be calm and quiet with her
children, she may be sure that her condition needs attention, and she cam
not do better than to take Lydia Il. Pinkhamfs Vegetable Compound.
This medicine will build up her system, strengthen her nerves, and
enable her to calmly handle a dsobedient child without a scene. The
children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet,
will themselves become quiet.

OLD-TIME ADVISERS.
Conduct Thought Becoming In Young


Conduct Thought Becoming In Young
Men Three Hundred Years Ago.
Mr.. Peachem il the "Compleat Cen
tleman," written early in the seven
teenth century, addressing himself to
young students, says: with the
gown you have put on the man. Your
first care should be the choice Of COM
pany Men of the soundest reputa-
ton for Religion, Life and Learning,
that their conversation may be to you
living and moving library. For
recreation seek those Of your own
rank and quality" In Home Life
Under the Stuarts" further quotations
from the work are given.
To keep good company he enjoins as
of the first Importance. Frugality and
a moderate diet are to be recommend
ed "Afability in Discourse has a
para graph to itself: Giving enter
tainment in q sweet and liberal man
ner, and with cheerful couTtesie sea-
soning your talk at the table among
grave and serious discourses with con-
ceipts of wit and pleasant inventions;
as ingenious Epigrames, Merry Tales,
witty Questions and Answers, etc" 1t
must be admitted, however, that the
specimens of wit which he gives do
not seem to modern taste in the least
funny.
From the letters of Lady Brilliana
Harley to her son at Oxford we get
glimpse of the home side, of the anX-
ieties Of a very careful and tender
mother, her advice as to health and
religion, and her provision for his COM
fort She writes:
"Deare Ned, if you would have any
thinge send me word; or if l thought
q cold pye, or such a thinge, would
be of any pleasure to you, l would
send it you. But your father says you
care not for it, and Mrs Prison tells
me. when her some was at oxford,
and shec sent him such thinges, he
prayed her that she would not"
Her son seems to have set her mind
at ease on the subject for the next
year she writes:
II haue made pye to send you; it
is a kide pye l believe you haue not
that meat ordinarily at Oxford; on
halle Of the pye is seasned with on
kind of seasning, and the other with
another. l thinke to send it by this
carrier"
Again she writes: II like the stufe
for your cloths we'll; but the cullor OF
those for query day l doc not like so
we'll; but the silk chamlet like very
we'll. Let your stol1ens be always OF
tho same cutler of your cloths"

nearly all of the local physicians.
At a mass meeting of citizens SfVOo

is needed. More physicians, more nurses
and several hundred domeStics are re-
ouired Immediately in order that the
great number of sick may be properly
looked after.
The State Board of Health has found
that the cause of the typhoid epidemic Is

Children Cannot Tell Lion from q
Rat or Cow.
Speaking Of the kind Of schoolbooks
that are sometimes used In our public
schools reminds me of little incident
that occurred a few days ago in one
Of the schools of this CITY," said a
teacher in the New Orleans Times
Democrat, land 1t goes to show that
the books are not altogether what they
might be when it comes to the mat
ter of EDITORIALS There was very
animated discussion between two of
my younger pupils as to certain pic
ture In one Of the readers. No. said
rat, an I know it is a rat It's
cow said the other, with equal con-
fidence.
They were having fearful time of
it when l came to the rescue. They
hal almost boiled up to the fighting
have stated that the two children In
question had fairly good knowledge
Of the two animals they had been dis
cussing. They have often seen rats
and cows, and consequently had some
grounds upon which to base their re-
spective claims as to the picture In
question. This explanation I feel Is
due them. When 1 heard them wran-
Cling I had no idea what book they
had, and consequently could not even
guess which was right When l picked
up the book at their request to de-
eide the controversy l could not keep
from laughing outright
cit is a rat, isn't IT.? said one Of
them. 'No-now, amt it cow| said
the other. When l told them it was
not a cow, and that it was not rat
but that 1t was lion they almost had
fits. Each Of the tots claimed victory
as a result of the decision. But do
you not think it pretty tough on the
man who made the picture that this
controversy should have arisen? After
all, maybe it is not lion. But at any
rate it Is more like a lion than it is
either rat or a cow"

Seasonable temperature and holiday
purchases stimulated retail trade, making
results more satisfactory during the nast
week than at any recent date Imnrove.
iieht was most conspicuous in heavy
wearing apparel and kindred lines that
nave remained dull because Of the mild
weather. Another encouraging feature
was the resumption of work at the New
York mills, although there is still much
lale machinery, especially in the textile
and iron industries. Thousands of on
eratlVes are idle because of the shutdown
ut few of the paper mills. In view of
the numerous wage reductions there is
noteworthy harmony between employers
ana workers, indicating that labor lead
elS appreciate the necessity of sharing in
the readjustment
1t Is at last possible to perceive an i'm
proVement In the demand for pig iron,
uue 10 the exhaustion of supplies by>con-
suners, the extensive reduction in output
ana absence of further price concessions.
business is by no means brisk, nor is
there any expectation of wholesome ac-
tlVlty during the remaining weeks of this
year \ ct there is evidence of returning
confidence with the lapse of time. Max
ers OF structural shapes are also looking
forward to a resumption of building OPP
erations that were demoraliZed and dis
continued because of contentious between
employers and wage earners.
Textile manufacturing conditions are
without alteration. Colder weather slim
ulated retail trade in woolens and wors-
teds, but as yet there is no improve
ment in piece goods.
Failures this week numbered 25S in
the United States, against 213 last year,

Alum, Flint and sulphurio Acid


1t is reported that in many localities
aouses are infested by peddlers trying
10 sell or introduce so-called cheap"
or low-priced baking powders, either
directly or by an order upon a grocer
In most instances deception is used,
and 1t Is claimed that the article is
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits of pure article.
Housekeepers should be on their
guard against this danger to their food
Alum powders are almost always low
priced. But they are well known to be
in some sections of this country their
sale is prohibited by law. Congress
has forbidden the sale Of food contain
ing alum In the District Of Columbia.
The highest authorities condemn their
use. DR.. s. w. Johnson, for instance,
Professor of Chemistry at Yale College,
says: Bread made with a baking
powder containing alum must yield
soluble alumina salt with the gastric
juice, and must, therefore, act as a
poison"
1t is well known that these so-called
Cheap" goods are made from alum or
the very cheapest materials. One of
them was recently analysed at Yale
College and found to be- one-quarter
sharp pointed grains Of ground flint.
Others are filled with sulphuric acid,
and salts of lead are also found in
them.
In baking powders be sure to get
reputable well-known cream of tartar
brand and never buy from peddlerSa

trade, published by r. G.
Dun & Co. SAYS:

business casualties are above the nor
NAL and mainly confined to small trad
ers, but as an offset there is an easier
tone in the money market and improve
ment in the consumption of merchandise.
The distribution of seaSonable wares
reached a very satisfactory aggregate,
weather conditions and settlement of the
street car strike being favorable factors.
Retail trade has been extensive in Holt
day goods and necessities, and high
priced articles sold freely. East-bound
shipments of foodstuffs exceeded the tom
mage Of year ago, and along with con-
tinued gains in railroad earnings there
is q heavy traffic in agricultural products
throughout the interior.
Grain shipments, including 1,G4S,S61
bushels of corn, aggregate 3,216Gl3
bushels, an increase Of 20.02 per cent
over the corresponding week of 1902.
Foreign buying has shown slightly re-
gaining strength in wheat and flour, but
the coarse grains are in slower demand.
Compared with last weeks closing prices
are lower. Receipts of live stock, 40l,-
947 head, are almost 3 per cent over Q
year ago. Packing throughout the West
is close to the volume of year ago, but
local stocks are expected to show soma
depletion on the forthcoming monthly
statement. Reports from the farms and
ranges indicate satisfactory conditions,
and the winter outlook is good for wheat
and stock. Bank clearings, $l49, G14,444
are sol per cent over year ago.
