WHY IS A BARBER'S POLE
 PAINTED WHITE AND RED2

For many years 1t has been custo- mary fr a barber's sign to- he G. pols painted in alternate stripes of white and red. It ts custom handed down fanm the time when every barber was also Teach" or blood-letter, and the white and red pole signifies the blood and bandaGes. Blood-letting in those times was supposed to be cure for al- most every ailment. We pretend to consider that we have advanced won derfuIly in the knowledge of madi- cine and surgery in the last hundred years, but doctors still delight in cut ting people open to cure them of ap- psndicitis. To be sure 1t Ia one way of curing this dread disease but you wouldn't advise cutting of e leg to cure . oorn--and cutting of leg isn't half so dangerous as an operation for appendicitis You can't over-estimate the horror and danger of it. It should enly be resorted to in the last extrem. ity.
 Every surgical operation for appen- dicitis is throwing dice with death-- the chances are about even that you will not come through 1t alive. Then why take the risk? Milks' Emulsion has been known to cure well-developed cases, as we can prove by many testi- monials in our possession. Read what this man says:
 --,. The Milks Emulsion Company,
 Terre Haute, Ind. Gentlemen: I was . constant suffer- ST for Ave years with stomach trouble which developed into appendicitis as diagnosed by physicians and for six months expected orders to bs taken to the hospital to undergo an operation by knife when I was induced to try a hnfflA nf MilEap Imtn more than half a bottle was taken by me when I was given relief ehd have no indications of any pain in my side or stomach aimee that time and can freely recommend, Milks' Emulsion to anyone suffering from stomach trouble or indications of appendicitis,
 Yours truly,
 Jack c. Rutherford, Dee. 12s- 1904 Rutherford Printing Go,
 Terre Haute, Ind. But prevention is far better than cure. You wi0 never kaye appendici- tis as long as you keep your stomach and bowels in proper condition. Con- stipation is the starting point of most stomach and kidney troubles.
 Milks' Emulsion will positively and permanently cure constipation. for it not only acts as a slight cathartic, but it aids digestion and stimulates the stomach and bowels to proper action. It is not only assimilAted by the most delicate stomach. but aids in the Aa- similatton of other food and enable the body. to properly extract the nutriment which is so necessary to health and vitality.
 We not only guarantee a positive cure of constipation. stomach trouble and all anaiction arising from an un- healthy condition of the r,ucors r,av, brans of the throat, lungs, stomach and bowels, such as bronchitis, Asthma. hay fever, indigestion and various forms of lung trouble, but we prove our claim by buying a regular soc bottle of Mllks' Emulsion from your druggist and presenting 1t to you free of charge. If you are anxious to re- gain your health. cut out thir coupon and mail 1t to us at once.

Every mother possesses information which is of vital interest to her young daughter.
 Too often this is never imparted or is withheld until serious harm has result ed to the growing girl through her ignorance of natures mysterious and wonderful laws and penalties.
 Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty often puzzle their mothers and baffie physicians. as they so often withhold their confidence from their mothers and conceal the symptoms which ought to be told to their physician at this critical period.
 When girls thoughts become slug gish, with headache, dizziness or dis position to sleep, pains in back or lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solit />; when she is a mystery to herself and friends. her mother should come to her aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound will at this time prepare the system for the coming change, and start the menstrual period in young girls life without pain or irregularities.

She will receive advice absolutely free, from a source that has no rival in the experience of woman's ills, and it will, if followed. put her on the right road to & strong, healthy and happy womanhood.
