We have noticed q growing tenden-
cy among women to complain when
they get together Of how the noise Of
children "gets on their nerves."
When a fortune teller tells e man
there Is q woman on his trail. the only
mistake che can make is IN the com-
plexion she gives the Nemesis.
You have q right to your Own opin-
ions, Of course; bat see that they are
as sensible as possible, for apoor opin-
ion Is liable to do you great harm.
No matter how badly q woman got
fooled on her own hero that she q
ried, she is always ready to help Der
daughter TO get taken In the seme
way.
When a c I'D returns froEI a neigh
boris after spending the night there
the mother should remember before

GIVES VIG0R AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

It is maintained by many distinguished
writer's that the greatness of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition Of its
women. The general conditions which con
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion
Of those powers by which life IS maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion Of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleePless, and debii-
tated.
We bring to the attention Of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sicky women
eath's great rescuer and health builder,
Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands Of
healthy women around US owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness to Paine's
Celery Compound. Mrs. Stephen Smith, St.
Paul, Mimi, tells how she was Snatched from
the grave; she says;-

counted ont $500 in currency Of
the United States, which we gave
to Blevins, and then showed the
5000 into his little grip and start

"Just got time, I see, to git that
train I want to take for home,
he said as he picked up his grip.
"Well, I'll go along and carry
your grip to the station tor yOu,"
said Blevins, as he grabbed at the
grip.

gun from his rear pocket. "I'm

And as the Kansas man stTOlled
