PAID TOO MUCH FOR A HAT.
London Judge Makes Ruling on What
Husband Must Buy.

London Judge Makes Ruling on What
Husband Must Buy.
A Streatham woman whose husband
had forbidden her to pledge his credit,
says the London Mirror, pleaded at
Bloomsbury county court the other
day that an account owing to a firm of
Oxford street diapers was for "neces-
saries," for which her husband was
liable. ....
Judge Bacon -" Can a stole be a
necessity for a woman? Can a sun
shade? Can laces and gloves at fifty
cents pair?
'These are all mere extravagances,"
he continued. Here is 5000 for a
woman's hat. Surely for $3.50 she
could get a hat which would fascinate
all the neighborhood. All these arti-
cles are not dress, but superstruc-
lures on dress.
"She must have been provided with
necessary dress or she would not have
put on gloves. She could not have
wandered about in gloves and sun,
shade"
The woman was ordered to pay the
bill.

Woman's Dress.

person if you suppose that l am going
in for the red and green transforma-
ton treatment for you-simply for
you. A woman who is really woman
and not hockey player has to watch
the fashion as closely as a cook
watches pot; and the married
woman of the present day must do all
she can to look like the unmarried
woman of yesterday. 1t is the mar
ried women who are the most popular
with men. 1t is the married women
who control politics, the army, litera-

Wasp as a Meat Packer.

That remarkably selfsufficient in

the young wasps. These mother wasps

The Young Physician,
WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED.

In the early sixties it was usually the
duty of a practicing physician to ride
many miles every day on his regular
round of visits upon his patients. In
those days young man who had received
splendid medical training in one of the
best medical colleges of that day was &C.
customed to ride ten, twenty or thirty
miles or more visiting the sick and
afflicted. His success was soon phenom-
email. Doctors and families called him for
consultation to towns at considerable dis
tances by rail- One of his specialties was
the cure of those distressing diseases of
women. He had early discovered that
by combining the vegetable extract of
the following medicinal plants In just the
right proportion without the use Of alco-
hol his prescription invariably cured
such cases. Later, in order to place this
remedy before the public in shape easily
to be procured, he established labora-
tory at Buffalo, N. Y, where regularly
qualified chemists were put in charge to
accurately prepare his prescription and
put it in shape for shipment to all parts
of the United States. This remedy, which
he named DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-

The Hedqehoq's Frown.

A hedgehog curls itself up by a
frown-that is, by muscles like those
which produce frown-and it frowns
severely or gently according to cir
cumstances. If it is poked hard, it
"sighs" itself tighter If really hurt,
it frowns into tight ball. The prick
les can be erected in a measure,
though as they point all ways this is
not needed. They are as sharp as
needles. We have only known one
dog, large black and white setter,
which would deliberately bite hedge
hog till 1t killed it. But this dog was
quite mad, and shared some of the an
aesthesia common to certain lunatics.

Food Value of Eaos.

Eggs are very nourishing food
and represent two important ele-
ments, fats and proteids, in an easily
assimilated form. A single egg
weighs about one and one-halt
ounces, of which one ounce is white.
or pure albumin, and one-half ounce
yolk. The nutritive value of the yolk
is greater than that of the white,
though its bulk and weight are small
er. Its solid constituents are about
one half of it's fat. Fresh eggs, prop
erly prepared, are readily digestible.
The best mode of preparation Is
whipped raw. or cooked for twenty
or thirty minutes at temperature OF
about 1902 (curdled). The yolks are
more easily digested when boiled
hard, and the whites are also easily
digested when hard boiled, providing
care is used to reduce the coagulated
white to minute particles which may
readily be dissolved by the gastric
juice.
A single egg is equal in value to q
dozen oysters.

Airs. III. WiQhf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is q
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y. who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which SO degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties l
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. l tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. l was ad-
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial. and was happily surprised
to fini that it acted like fine tonic, and in a
few6ays began. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was a well woman. have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquah-
fed dendorsement,o or has such a record OF
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
