the menstrual flow and Nature, when
relieved of the drains or of the poisons
in the system, makes the functional

ANY woman who is silently suffering
untold pains because she is too sensitive
to undergo a physicians examination
and treatment can find no excuse for
not securing relief when Wine of Car

of Cardui in the privacy of her home,
with as much assurance of final cure
as though a dozen doctors recommended
it. Many physicians do recommend

He Explained.

At school one day teacher, having
asked most of his pupils the difference be-
tween an island and a peninsula without
receiving a satisfactory answer, came to
the last boy.
II can explain it, sir, said the bright
youth. First get two glasses. Fill one
with water and the other with milk. Then
catch fly and place it in the glass Of
water. That fly is an island, because it is
entirely surrounded by water. But now
place the fly in the glass of milk, and i,
will be peninsula, because it is nearly
surrounded by water.

How to Climb the Stairs.
From Medical Talk.


"Those stairs will be the death of me
vet You have heard the expression OF
such sentiment, if, indeed, you have not
felt the probability Of the same unvolced
prophecy. :,
Girls complain to me of backache, and
quickly say: 'You know | have to go up
and down stairs so much this year. The
flights to which they refer are in town
hall; the steps are high and the flights are
long-yet some can climb them several
times day and not have grumbling back
or any other uncomfortable result. The
secret lies in the way they do it.
A girl is putting severe strain on her
back when she goes up stairs using heavy,
fiat footed tramp She is uncomfortable,
heavy step jars her spine and head, and
to make the ordeal as short as possible she
hurries and possibly runs. Naturally the
body demonstrates at such unjust treat
ment.
[ have watched carefully the manner
which most people adopt, and think that
you will agree that this is very common
spectacle. One woman [ frequently see
ascending stairs leans SO far over that when
she turns the spiral she invariably puts her
hands on the upper stairs.
Try another way if you want to feel all
the exhilaration and buoyancy of an ex-
cellent exercise. Keep the weight we'll
over the advanced foot, with the chest the
farthest point forward. To strike only the
ball of the foot on the stairs gives buoy
ancy of step to most people, althoug h some
claim they can place the whole foot Ii Ihtly
on the stairs to good advantage
Be sure and take your time Remem-
Der 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 upstairs correctly than
when on level. The legs are the mem
bers of your bodily community which ought
to perform that service for you.
| have known medical authorities to
recommend walking upstairs correctly as
good exercise, for reducing prominent abdo-
men and relieving indigestion.
Therefore the commonly conceived bug
bear of some housekeepers may become a
boon. They ought to reach the top of the
stairs exhilarated, feeling the glow Of
healthful exercise.

Is Ir q POrcupine?

Mr.. Editor,-In brief article In the
REPORTER recently reference was made
To the Curator of the National Museum at
Washington, D. C. where he says that a
"Porcupine is often enormously called a
Hedgehog" and that it inhabits the
regions of Northeastern North America.
Now let US see what Webster's Tn.
abridged Dictionary says about porcu-
pines "a rodent quadruped of the
genus Hystrir Of Sinneus, furnished with
spines or quilts upon the body, covered
with sharp prickles, some Of which are
twelve inches long and capable of being
erected at pleasure. This species is a
native of Africa and Asia, and is also
found In Italy" Is that the animal that
has a habitat In Maine?
Now see what Webster defines a
hedgehog "a small animal Of the genus
ErindceuS, having the hair on the upper
part Of its body mixed with prickles or
spines and endowed with power of roll
ing itself into a ball so as to present the
spines outwardly in every direction"
Again let US consult the revised En-.
cl clopedia Brittanica for the animal
porcupiue. "rhis word" IL saws "is
applied to the members Of the Hy8tri-
cidde family of rodents whose most
prominent peculiarly ia their covering
Of long stout spines. 4 )ologically the
porcupines are allied to the CAVES, chin
chillas, agoutis, etc. They are all stout
heavily-built animals, with blunt round
ed heads, fieshy mobile shouts, and coats
of hick cylindical or fl lttened spnes.
The same authority says of the hedge
hog that 1.-THE genus Is remarkable for
its dentition, its armature of spines, and
its short tail, while the ordinary species
Is characterized by not having the spines
longer than the head or the ears more
han half that length. It's upper Nv is
longer than the lower one and the whole
-nout, which is long and fl xible, has
,mewhat the appearance of that Of the
hog.
have seen good many hedgehogs in
the woods and other places In years
gone by, but have never seen a porcu-
pine except in caravan or travelling
menagerie. | may not be very "wise'
but | know that porcupines and hedge.
hogs are different kinds or species OF
animals. w Mel
