THE MONTHLY TRIAL
HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, BEARING
DOWN PAINS.
A Woman Tells How She Has Become Well
and Strong after Years Of Misery
nua to IrreRular EnnctiQna.

The fact that one woman is bright
eyed, rosy checked, strong and cheerful,
while another is pale, weak and de-
pressed, is due more often than other
wise to the regularity in the one case
and the irregrlarity in the other OF the
functions that are peculiar to the sex.
When these are disturbed everything
goes wrong; pain and discomfort are
felt all over the body; the sensations are
often terrifying.
"For four years" said Mrs. Davis re-
Gently, II suffered indescribable misery
from sick headache every month, &C.
companied by fainting spells, shortness
of breath and severe pain in my left side.
There were also bearing-down pains, at
times SO acute that Icould not stand up,
and my head was full of ringing sounds.
IL seemed as if everything was going to
hit me in the eyes. was compelled to
lie down with closed eyes for hours to
get little relief. When attempted to
arise everything would whirl around and
it would grow SO dark that could
scarcely see any object"
"Couldn' t your doctor help you?''
GIVE doctors in all treated me, but I
got no lasting benefit. Besides used a
lot Of advertised remedies. The only
medicine, however, that had the de-
sired effect was DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and they are truly godsend to women.
I did not have much faith in them when
I began to take them. found myself,
however, so much better after using two
boxes that I began to believe in them.
They checked right away the decline
into which I was going. Ny troubles
kept lessening and finally disappeared
altogether"
"How long did it take for cure?"
CATER I had used several boxes my
health was all right. I had taken on
flesh and was strong and hearty. I feel
today in spirits more like girl of six
teen than woman of my years.

That Rheumatism can be cured has been
proved beyond doubt by Mrs. Betsey
A. Clawson, well known here. That Mrs.
Clawson had Rheumatism and had it bad,
all her acquaintance know. They also
know she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney
Pills did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story
of her cure as follows:
Il was an invalid for most five years
caused by Infammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds Of the time. The first
year | could not do as much as a baby
could do; then l rallied a little bit and
then relapse. Then year ago the

untold agony and in August, 1903, when
my husband died, could not ride to the

Il only took two boxes of Dodd's KID
ney Pills and in two weeks / could wait

my own potatoes and gathered my own

Rheumatism sis caused by uric acid IN

An Animal CemeIery.

In spite OF much agitation upon the
subject at various times, lovers of AMI
mails have never succeeded In estab-
fishing In this country a cemetery as
elaborate as those In several European
capitals
The largest and most beautiful AMI
NAL cemetery is La Necropole Zoolo-
gique, In Paris, or, rather, in the suburb
of Asnieres Here a large plot of
ground is laid out for the interment OF
dogs and other animals, and here are
erected monuments in every way as
handsome as those over the graves OF
human beings in other cities Of the
dead
Some famous dogs have sculptures to
mark their memories, and dog kennels
In marble are favOrite vaults. For
$3.50 q grave is leased for three years,
and this fee includes the services Of q
dog undertaken, uniformed and mount
ed on a tricycle.. For 500 grave may
be leased IN perpetuity, and between
these extremes may be found prices to
suit all purposes. The cemetery occupies
an entire island IN the Seine, and,
apart from the rental Of graves, the
company owning the property makes
q handsome profit out of the sale Of
admission tickets to visitors.

The Lawyers ONCE Not what II
Once Was For students.

The Lawyers ONCE Not what II
Once Was For students.
Questions regarding the study Of law
were sent out recently to many law
yers of Illinois by the University Of
Illinois and elected 1000 replies From
these 1t appears that the days Of study
ing law In a lawyers office have pass
ed away. Very few OF the offices have
any law students at all. Many of the
ablest lawyers expressed the opinion
that study in a law office IS an absolute
waste of energy. Nearly all the sue
cessful law firms declared that they
had no time to devote To young men
who desired TO study law and that such
young men were "A nuisance In the Of
fee. The only young man they could
use at all was one who had already
passed his examination for the state
bar and who was willing to work for
nothing for a year or two in order TO
get the experience which comes from
a large office Out OF the 1000 replies
only seven favored preparation for the
bar In a lawyers office,
Another striking result of this inves-
tigation Is found in the answers to the
questions as to the proper degree Of
preliminary education a student should
have before entering the law school a
majority of the whole number urged
that every one taking up the study Of
the law should complete full college
course OF the others n majority were
in favor of at least two years in col
lege. There was n practical unanim-
ity that the completion of a four years
high school course was the absolute
minimum which was at all acceptable.
II was the general opinion that, hav-
ing once entered the law school, the
young man should give his entire time
to the work of the school and not at
tempt to combine 1t with work In a
lawyers office or, indeed, work in any
other place unless that was absolutely
necessary to pay expenses. One law
yer declared that it was n poor school
that could not keep n student busy all
the time, and If boy found himself in
such a school he ought to leave 1t for
one which could keep him busy.-Chi-

YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
Make Up Your Mind to Seek Ii Rath-

Make Up Your Mind TO Seek Ii Rath-
er Than Wait For 1t.
1t is a dangerous thing TO wait for
opportunities until it becomes a habit.
Energy and inclination for hard work
ooze out In the waiting. Opportunity
becomes invisible to those who are do
ing nothing or looking somewhere else
for 1t. 1t is the great worker, the man
who is alert for chances, that sees
them.
Some people become so opportunity
blind that they cannot see chances any
where-they would pass through q gold
mine without noticing anything pre-
cious-while others Will find opportuni-
ties In the most barren and out OF the
way places. Bunyan found opportu-
nifty in Bedford jail to write the great
est allegory In the world on the un-
twisted paper that had been used to
cork his bottles of milk. 4 Theodore
Parker or Lucy Stone sees an oppor-
tunity to 20 to college In a chance to
pick berries. One boy sees an opening
to his ambition in a chance to chop
wood, wait on table or run errands,
where another sees no chance at all.
One sees an opportunity to get an edu-
cation in the odds and ends of time,
evenings and half holidays, which an
other throws away.-O. S. Marden In
