woman and Her work at Home.


In order that woman may be sue
cessful and happy in her home life she
must inevitably regard her work as
worthy the highest education and en-
thusiasm.
Let her know before she enters upon
it that it must for years occupy the
greater part of her thoughts and time
there will be seasons when it must &C.
clpy her whole time-4nd be content
that this is so because of the value Of
the result to be attained.
The home where peace and order
reign and sweet influences of industry
and education, of courtesy and religion,
prevail is not made by chance. The wo-
mans thought and study and ability
have entered into it and determined it's
character.
Where the servants are industrious
and quiet, where the children are
healthy, gentle and obedient, where the
conversation shows intellectual life and
generous thought. and the spirit of the
home in it's activities and pleasures is
love and joy and peace, the praise is
due, first to the woman who as wife
and mother and mistress and house
keeper and hoTnemaker has made it her
study and pleasure to rule her kingdom
diligently, with intelligence and love.
The home is her creation, springing
from her own ideal of what is good and
fair and speaks to mankind as truly as
if her thought had expressed itself in
writing It is a work of the highest art.
/ If woman. thus regarded her work
| at home, she would settle her mind to
| it without that restlessness and discon-
| tent she will always feel if in her heart
of hearts she regard history or art OF
/ higher mathematics as being more
worthy of her attention.

1t had been rumored for several weeks

IS A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
The Principal Asset of the Successful
Business Man.

The head of the largest meat packing
industry In the world. for many years,
prior to his death, never Travelled with
out his physician; everywhere he was ac-
companied by his medical adviser; he
hired him for his exclusive attendance
by the year and considered the large sal
ary paid for such service as part OF his
business investment, He did not do this
because he was hypoehondriac, In con-
slant fear Of illness and death; on the
contrary he was an exceptionally robust
man. but he realized that the principal
asset In his enormous business was his
own personal health, and to keep physi-
cally and mentally well and strong was
a business proposition. pure and simple.
It Is so with every business man and
woman A slight cold in the head or throat
may pass off In few days, or It may de-
velop into Pneumonia, Chronic Catarrh
or Irritating throat trouble; In any event
its departure should be fastened by
some simple antiseptic preparation like
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, which are dis
solved In the mouth and thus reach and
destroy the germs of Catarrh. Pneumonia.
Consumption, before they have chance
to propagate and thrive In the inflamed
mucous membranes of the nose and
throat.
To burden the stomach with drugs and
stimulants Is a foolish and often dan
gerous way to combat a cold, because
stimulants are always followed by CORE
spending depression and where there is
any tendency to Pneumonia increases the
danger by increasing the hearts ac-
ton.

writes: II am walking advertisement

from crowded steam heated school
room to a raw, chill out doors kept me

difficult for me to read or speak and
conduct my classes. My druggist with
