All its effort was to guide the heart and
mind. The body might stumble along
anyhow, and it generally did.
Many a sweet-faced, modest minded
young girl has had her first doubts of
the goodness of Providence come in
through the door of physical suffering.
"Why must / suffer in this way?" she
asks, ~Why does my back ache, my head

as rule to these questions. The young
woman looks around and sees scores of
similar sufferers. She is told it is part
of the burden laid upon women, and she
shapes her shoulders to her heavy load.
This is all a mistake. Proper train
ing, proper physical care would many
times prevent these miserable condi-
tons. But in any case, however dis
tressing the present condition, it can be
cured by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription, if it is disease durable
by medicine.

Old-faShi0ned Training
Its Strong and Weak Points.

The strong point of the old.fashioned
training was the stress laid upon moral
ity and virtue. "Be good and you'll
be happy" was the common precept set
before the growing child. But as the
girl grew up to maidenhood she was
often sorely puzzled to reconcile those
past teachings with her present condi-
ton. She was good. Her soul was
pure as the lilies of her garden. Her
heart was updefiled. And yet she was
desperately unhappy by reason of physi-
cal ailments common to women.
This was the weak side of old
fashioned training: 1t ignored the

that Of Pennsylvania, a law which di-
vides the cost of building a good road
as follows: Fifty per cent to be paid by
the state, % per cent by the county, 10
per cent by the township and 10 per

There is this to be said in favor of
devoting a portion of the average farm
to timber culture-that while from the
money standpoint alone it may not pay
as well to grow trees as field crops it is
also incontestably true that nine out of
ten farmers have more land than they
can prOfitably work, and the assign
ment of, say ten acres on the 100 acre
farm for timber culture is thus made
entirely possible. Far better farm less
acres better and grow trees.
