Mrs Bessie AnsIev

To be such a successful wife, to re-
tain the love and admiration of her
husband, to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be woman's
constant study.
If a woman finds that her energies
are tagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, whites, irreg-
ularities or the blues, she should start
at once to build up her system by a
tonic with specific powers, such as
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound.
Following we publish by request a
letter from a young wife:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
Ever since my child was born have srlf-
fered, as Ihope few women ever have, with in
hammation, female weakness, bearing down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. 1t
affected my stomach so could not enjoy my
meals, and half my time was spent in bed.
"Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made me well woman, and I feel so grateful
that am glad to write and tell you of my
marvellous recovery. 1t brought me health,
new life and vitality. Mrs. Bessie Ainsley,
Gil South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash
What Lydia e. Pinlham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for every sick and ailing woman.
If you have symptoms you don't un-
derstand write to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and
always helpful.

MILLIONS ARE SENT HOME.
Immigrants from Austria Hungary
Sent Over $48, oo0,o in
Ten Years.

The immigrants to the United States
from Austria Hungary have sent back
to that country in the ten years between
1894 and 1903 more than $48000,00O. OF
this vast sum the immigrants from
Hungary sent back $31, 1872 ,080, while
those from Austria sent to their rela-
tives S16,9S2,98 In 1894 the amount
sent back by the immigrants of both
countries was $1,327, $40 This had
grown in 1903 to $1O,556,O00; in fact,
there has been a steady increase since
1894
In addition to the sums sent into the
country through what are known in
Austria as ''home banks" from Amer
lea each year, large amount is remit
ted through American banks without
the Intervention of Austrian or Hun
garian institutions, or in cash or postal
money orders. The entire amount re-
ceived in Austria Hungary in 1903 from
emigrants that had left that country
for other countries was $32,77S,OO4.
It is estimated that the Italian immi-
grants in the United States send back
to their homes annually sum equal to
about S30,0O0,000. An indication of the
Importance of remittances so made is
found in the business of Italian postal
savings banks with savings institutions
for Italians in foreign countries. But
de full amount sent into Italy cannot
be kept track Of in this way. for it is
well known that considerable amounts
are sent in paper money by registered
mail or are brought into the country by
returning immigrants. Fraudulent
banking concerns have caused great
losses to Italian immigrants, both in
this and other countries in the past.
These were usually run by Italians.
To prevent all this an act was passed
in Italy in 1901 authorizing the Bank
of Naples to take charge of remittances
from emiGrsnts, thus guaranteeing
them safety and regularity In the trans
mission Of their money. This bank has
since established correspondence Offices
for the management of emigrant bust
ness. there being Sc of these offices at
the close of 1903 A recent bill in the
Italian parliament. providing for the
appointment of resident agents in for
eign countries to manage the remit
tances of Italians failed to pass.
This immense amount of m oney flow
ing into Italy annually from its emil
grants has already had marked in
fiuence in improving conditions of Iiv.
ing, especially in southern Italy.

HE WAS TOO PARTICULAR.
Wanted to Know Too Much and the
Landlady Turned Him
Down.

The popular and prosperous landlady of
q fourishing boarding house, who some
times receives very unique letters about her
rooms, submits this, written by man, as
sample:
Dear Madam: / wish to discover some
thing about your house before making up
my mind to go into it. Will you kindly tell
me whether you have mostly old or mostly
young people in your house? Do they stay
up late at night to play cards and play on the
piano? Are they people what might be con-
sidered lively? How many hot baths are
taken on an average day? am very par
ticular about my drinking water, and want
to know whether you filter it and boil it.
Which side of the table will you put my
chair on? The doctor insists that have as
much sun as possible"
These and similar questions too numerous
to, be mentioned, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. decided the landlady, and she wrote
back to the inquiring young man that no
rooms were to be had in her house.

Bad Boy" ETC.,
Copyright, 1905. by Joseph B. Bowles)
Inc Old grOceryman was in front of
the grocery in his shirt sleeves, with
watering pot in his hand, trying to
brace up SOME wilted lettuce that had
seen better days. After all attempts
had failed and the lettuce laid down
in its bed with an appealing -ook, as
much as to say: Don't inject any
thing, but let me die natural death"
the old man acted as though he
thought the end had come. He had
just taken off his hat, and was gaz-
ing at his dying patient, when the
bad boy came up, and, with an under
taker look on his face, he took his
hat and famed the lettuce, and said:
Friends who desire to take last look
at the deceased may pass in the front
door, and retire by the back door. No
flowers; burial private"
"Now, what you want to butt in here
for, when am having all this trou-
ble?" said the old man, as he poured
out the remaining water in the
sprinkler on the dying salad material.
''That is where the profits go. When
l bought that lettuce at the commits
sion house day before yesterday, it
was bright and crisp, with dew drops
on the leaves, and it cracked When |
handled it, and look at it now, as linn
Der as starched collar at picnic,

the watering pot on the floor, and
sighed.

few strawberries off the top of a
box, trying to rejuvenate wilted let
