Girls and Their Education.

T.. S. Martin in Harper's Bazaar: And
there comes in the special complication
that affects the education of girls.
When you have a fine girl with a good
mind, who can learn anything in rea-
son, and be trained to almost any sort
of useful labor, after her education has
come TO the point where specialization
might begin, you have to face the pos
sibility that by going or and giving her
a special thing to think about and
work at, you may be aiding to divert
her from a woman's greatest career
to one, notable it may be, but less sat
isfying and of less Importance. The
risk-the apparent risks not that a
girl may know too much TO marry. but
that during the years when marriage is
best, and easiest, achieved she may
be so busy with other concerns as 70
miss meeting the man whom she ought
to marry.
For while 1t MAJ be confidently as
serted that no mere intellectual pre-
occupation is going to hinder a girl
from marrying the man whom she
recognizes to be the right man If he
come along at the right time and sug-
gests IL to her, il Is possible that h
may be too much preoccupied TO recog-
nize him when he comes, and also that
her work may remove her from the So
cial point she would naturally occupy
and cause her to miss meeting him al
together.

Are You Tired, Nervous
and .SleepleSs

Nervousness and Sleeplessness are US
ually due to the fact that the nerves are
not fed on properly n~outishing blood;
they are starred nerves. Dr.. PIERCE ;
Golden Medical Discovery makes pure,
rich blood, and thereby the nerves are
properly nourishcd and all the organs OF
the body are run as smoothly as machln-
cry which runs in oil. In this way you
feel clean. strong n S~trenuOuS-you are
toned up and inv~igorated. and you are
good for a whole lot Of physical or mental
work. Best of all, the strength and IN
crease in vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most tonics and med
icines which have a large, booming SAFE
for a short time, is that they are largely
composed of alcohol holding the drugs IN
solution. This alcohol shrinkS up the RED
blood corpuscles, and in the long run
greatly Injuries the system. one may teei
eXhilarated and better for the time being,
vet in the end weakened and with vitality
decreased. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol. Every
bottle of it bears upon its wrapper me
Bddqe of Honestly, in a full list OF all It's
several ingredients. For the druggist TO
offer you something he claims is "just as
good is to insult your intelligence.
Every ingredient entering INTO the
world-famed Golden Medical Discovery"
has the unanimous approval and endorse
ment of the leading medical authorities
of all the several schools Of practice. No
other medicine sold through druggists for
like purposes has any such endorsement.
The "Golden Medical Discovery" not
only produces all the good effects to be
obtained from the use Of Golden Seal
root, in all stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, as in dyspepsia, biliousness, con-
situation, liberation of stomach n
bowels and kindred ailments, but the
Golden Seal root used in its compound

ton by other ingredients such as Stone
root, Black Cherrybark, Bioodr0ot. Man
drake root and chemically pure triple
refined glycerine.

THE COFFEE HEART"
1t Is ns Dangerous AS the Tobacco
ar whisky Heart.

Coffee heart" is common to many
coffee users and Is liable to send the
owner TO his or her long home if the
drug is persisted in. You can run 30
or 40 yards and find III If your heart
is troubled. A lady who was once a
victim of the coffee heart writes
from Oregon:
Il have been Il habitual user of cof-
fee all my life and have suffered very
much in recent years from ailments
which became satisfied were directly
due to the poison in the beverage, such
as torpid liver and Indigestion, which
in turn made my complexion blotcby
and muddy.
Then my heart became affected. 1t
would beat most rapidly just after |
mai as the coffee effect wore off. Some
times my pulse would go as high DIS
1871 beats to the minute. My family
were greatly alarmed at my condition
and at last mother persuaded me to be-
gin the use of Postum Food Coffee.
Il gave up the old coffee entirely
and absolutely, and made Postum my
sole table beverage. This was 6 months
ago. and all my ills, the indigestion, in
active liver and rlckety heart action,
have passed away, and my complex
ion has become clear and natural. The
improvement set In very soon after ]
made the change, just as soon as the
coffee poison had time to work out Of
my system.
MY husband has also been greatly
benefited by the use Of Postum, and
we find that a simple breakfast with
Postum. is as satisfying and more
strengthening than the old heavier
meal we used to have with the other
kind of coffee" Name given by Pos

The employees in the linen room in
n big New York hotel receive $40 a
month, with room and board, and their
hours are well regulated in most of the
large hotels. The parlor maid or maids
come next on the salary list, with SIS,
room and board and the tips often
bring this sum up to $50 or eve $50.
The maids duties are to keep the par
lor swept and busted and herself tidy

to enter the helps dining room at any
