An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with I'M
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs, Pinkham. Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.

No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-

has such a record for actual cures of

DRIVING OUT A DEMON.
a4S112<S<S1@@@@A@0

On the plains Of Tartary, the Land
OF Grass" the struggles between good
spirits and demons often occasion con-
siderable annoyance for the ignorant
tribesmen and afford profitable employ
ment for the lamas. Peres Hue and
CADET, French travellers who crossed
them three-score years ago, witnessed
the struggles of the learned men to
drive out one Of the demons.
The aunt Of the chief Of an encamp-
ment in the Valley Of the Dark Wat
ers was III of fever. Her nephew
waited in patience, but she did not get
we'll, and at last he called In the lamas.
His worst fears were confirmed. a
demon Of considerable rank was pres
ent in her and must be cast out-a task
we'll paid. Eight others were at once
called in by the first. and together they
made, from dried herbs, an image
which they called the ''pemon Of In
termittent Fevers" This image they
put in the patients tent.
An hour before midnight the lamaS
ranged themselves in semi-circie in
one end Of the tent, with cymbals, sea-
shells, bells, tambourines and other
noisy instruments. The remainder of
the family made up the circle, While
the patient crouched opposite the I'M
age Of the demon. The chief lama had
before him copper basin filled with
millet and some little paste images.
The tent was full Of smoke from the
hearth fire.
Upon a given signal the clerical or
chestra began Il noisy overture, the lay
witnesses beating time with their
hands. The diabollcal concert over,
the Grand Lama opened the book Of
exorcisms and began chanting the
forms.
From time to time he scattered mil

when it comes to moving a pack Of
dogs down.
Dogs, for this reason, fight shy Of
catamOuntS. They never let the trail
get too hot, beause they want to
keep reasonable distance behind in the
chase. The fact is 1 have known dogs
to quit the trail when it was fresh
enough to indicate that the distance
between them and the catamount
could be measured in seconds. They
will scatter and scamper around to-
all sides Of the trail, resorting to the
same circular course they describe
when they suddenly lose trail. They
do not care to surprise a catamount
by rushing upon him suddenly. They
know what 1t will mean to them. Even
pups out on their first chase seem to
be wise enough instinctively to give
the catamount a wide range.
"They are desperate fighters, and in
the season when food is scarce, and
when they become lean and lank from
foraging they are especially desperate.
l remember an experience l had few
years ago." says a writer In the New
Orleans Times-Democrat, while
floating down the St Francis River
in a dugout some forty miles up from
the mouth of the river. 1 had a friend
in the dugout with me. Suddenly we
heard limb above us swish back as
if relieved Of heavy weight, and in
an instant something fell in the river
at the side Of the canoe. 1t was a
catamount The animal had tried to
land in the canoe for the purpose of
attacking us and had leaped from a
limb which hung out over the river
at an elevation Of thirty feet
There was no provocation except
the innate desperateness Of the beast,
for we had no idea that catamount
was within ten miles Of where we were
quietly floating down che river. We
killed him. They are bad members
and you don't have to corner them in
order TO get fight"

ra,iacy Regarding Bread,

The fallacy that the whittier the
bread the higher its quality, seems to
prevail all over the world, and the de-
mands for snOw-white -four have been
answered by the production Of flour

nutritive value. There are various
ways Of accomplishing this object, but
the newest and most novel process for
the purpose comes from France Here
