II HAVE received a letter which
tS am particularly glad to answer.
liz for its subject-the value Of senti-
ment in married life-is one which In
terests me deeply.
Who makes the better wife," asks
the correspondent, "the woman of
brains or the woman of sentiment?
Should sentiment predominate in
woman's nature II she is amiable?
OF course, there is no cut and dried
rule for congeniality. Some authori-
ties would have US believe that tnvart-
ably blondes should wed brunettes,
that persons of phlegmatic tempera-
ment should marry those who are
mercurial or sanguine, ETC., ad In
f1nitum For every one of these rules
there is a small army Of exceptions
which might either prove or refute
their validity, according to ones preju-
dices.
All you can sensibly say in regard to
the matter is that a girl who would
make an ideal wife for this man would
find marriage a complete failure II
welded to that one. And amiability,
which always is numbered rightly
among the blessed, humber virtues, Is
quite as liable to ruin home as i'll
temper is, If it is the expression OF
weakness and not Of strength.
The woman who has brains and no
sentiment, and the woman who has
sentiment and no brains. are both
matrimonial misfits. For either one OF
them to go into a life work where the
heart must speak a high language Is
a mistake which society Ii certain to
find out If they themselves fail to
do so.
The woman Of brains need not be .
woman without sentiment A genuine

duces a fine inner balance. The dan

Chas. Y. Peterson. Justice of the Peace
for Oconto Co.. has delivered 4 judg-
ment that is of interest to the whole
United States. Put briefly. that judg-
ment is. "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best Kidney medicine on the market
to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this Judgment He says. Last
winter | had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much. In
the morning | could hardly straightcn
my back. ! did not know what it was,
but an advertisement led me to try
Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking one
box l can only say they have done
more for me than expected, as | feel rs
well now as ever l did before"
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney Disease. If not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may
develop into Bright's Disease, Diabetes,
Rheumatism or some of the other dead
ly forms of Kidney Disease.

WHY THEY ARE HAPPY
TWO NOTABLE RECOVERIEs FROM
EXTREME DEBILITY.
Husbands Strength Had Been Waning for
Three Years, Wife Sufferer from
Female Weakness.

"My strength had dwindled so that
couldn't apply myself to my business
with any snap but was tired and listless
all the time, p" said Mr. Goldstein.
Il went to bed completely used up by
my day work, and when | got up III
the morning didn't feel rested a bit. l
had awful headaches too, and my kid
neys got out of order and caused me to
have severe pains in the back. At one
time became 50 feeble that / could not
stir from bed for three weeks"
Mr. Goldstein is a young man and had
then but recently established n home of
his own. His anxieties were increased
by the fact that his wife was far from
being robust Mrs. Goldstein says:
"For twoyears had been i'll most Of
the time. Sometimes | was confined to
bed for weeks III succession under ply
stefan S care. I had headaches, kidney
trouble, pain about the heart and many
more uncomfortable symptoms con-
nected with that weakness to which my
sex is peculiarly subject"
Trouble had invaded this household
and settled i'll it i'll just the years that
ought to be the very happiest. Physicians
could not tell them how to get rid of it.
Il was utterly discouraged, " said Mr..
Goldstein. Then the urgency of some
friends led me to try blood aud nerve
remedy which WAS said to be wonder
fully successful. Within month there
were unmistakable signs ofimprovcment
in my condition, and within year
was completely well. Through the use
Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills | have now
as good health as | ever had i'll my life"
Mrs Goldstein adds 1.-THE wonderful
effect that DR.. Williams Pink Pills had
in the case Of my husband led me to try
them and they helped me even more
quickly than they did him. One box
made me decidedly better and u few
months treatment cured me-"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the best
tonic and regulator, they make pure,
rich blood and when there is general
weakness and disorder that is what the
system needs Mr. and Mrs II. Goldstein

Of fuel. clothing and practically all food
products are constantly increasing, ac-
cording to Il bulletin just issued by the
bureau Of labor, covering the period from
1890 70 1904 In the early '9os prices
were very high, but in the last four years
they have been steadily increasing until
now they are relatively higher than in
1852, just before the memorable financial
aud commercial depression. The period
Of lowest prices was from 1854 to lS9n
The lowest price of beef was in APRIL

at $3.50 to $40 per hundred pounds
Tho highest price was the latter part of
August, 1902. when the price touched
$3.50 to 80 per hundred pounds. Corn
