It's q poor meeting that does no one

A cheerful leader maketh a happy

Its wise leader that knows his own

He that trusteth to his own head is
foolish; the wise man studies his Bible
Start meeting in the way II should

It going.
The leader expects every member

A good thought Is rather TO be chosen

A poor speaker is better than q mute.
II at first you forget what you meant
Do say. try. try again
A hymn from the heart Is better than
q dozen just TO fill in.
Silence is rolden-when some one
else is speaking.
Listen to others as you would that
they should listen to you.
Better Is a little with earnestness
than long testimony without SINGER

The truth, and nothing but the truth.
but not the whole truth in one night.
Commit thy thoughts unto the Lord
and the words shall be established.
Rub the dust out Of your own eyes

As soon as possible after Sept. 30 all

department that this method of designa-
ting boxes will materially assist in the

routes.
The letter OF instructions issued by the
department says: "For public eonven-
fence and to facilitate a more accurate
handling of mail by rural free delivery
carriers, il has been decided that each
rural mail box in use on a rural route,
which, under the regulations of the de-
partment, Is entitled to service, shall be
designated by number in the manner and
by the method hereinafter set forth; and
the delivery by rural carriers OF ordinary
mail matter OF all classes addressed to
such boxes by number alone is authorized
SO long as improper and unlawful bush
ness is not conducted thereby.
s'Postmasters at the respective distrib-
uting offices are hereby directed TO instruct

which have been operated sixty days or
more, to review the rural mail boxes in
use on their routes in the interval between
the receipt Of this order and Sept. 30, 1905,
and report which OF them conform to the
regulations and are thus entitled to desig-
native numbers.
ssrhe following when found TO be safe,
westherproof, and fit receptacles for mail,
are entitled to numbers:
"(a) Boxes approved under Order No.
7ss.
"(b) Non-approved boxes erected prior
TO O.t. /, 1902.
''No non-waterproof or otherwise unfit
receptaeles for mail shall be numbered.
All such must be replaced with regulation
approved boxes by the owners or no num-
bers will be assigned.
aNo rural mail box erected within the
limits of an incorporated city or town or
within one-hAlf mile of postoffice at an
unincorporated town or village shall be
numbered unless such box was erected
prior to Oct. 3, 1903, or is being served by
specific order of the department.
ssThe numbers assigned TO boxes on each
route will commence with NO. l., which
will pertain to the first regulation box
reached by the carrier after leaving the
starting point of his route, travelling in
accordance with official description; box
after box thereafter 70 be counted and
given the proper number in regular Sc
quence in order of service from No. TO
and including all those boxes entitled to
service located on the route.
s'As soon as possible after completing
the assignment OF box numbers on route
the postmaster will furnish each box
owner with the official number of his box,
and request that this number be at once
legibly and durably inscribed in a con-
spicuous place on the outside of the box.
"Boxes served regularly by more than
one route must, in cases where such
double service is duly authorized,
be given numbers in regular consecutive
order on each route, by the method pre-
scribed in the preceding paragraphs for
numbering boxes served by but one car

All women work; some in their
homes, some in church. and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens OF thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws: all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints. ovarian
troubles, liberation, falling and dis
placements of the womb, leucorrhpa.
OF perhaps irregularity or suppression
of monthly periods" causing back
ache, nervousness. irritability and
lassitude
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more susceptible to these
troubles than others.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing. sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them TO bear easily the fatigucs
OF the dav, to sleep well at night, and
To rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing TO see a woman
struggling TO earn a livelihood or per
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is SO
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which Is due To
some arrangement of the female or
ganism
