WHAT MAKES HER POPULAR.

The American girl is admired and liked
at home and abroad because she is the
happiest, usually the healthiest and friend
liest of girls. She is fond of life and is
alive to everything beautiful and good in
existence. Mrs. Langtry has said that the
American woman has little to learn from
her English sisters.
DR.. Pierce, the specialist in women s dis
eases, of Buffalo, N. Y, advises simple eI-
ercises for women, preferably in the out
door air. But many women are confined
to the house and their household duties or
their business confines them to poorly ven-
tilated rooms.
If woman suffers from a headache, a
backache, sensation of irritability or
twitching and uncomfortable nervousness
something must be wrong with the head or
back, she naturally says, but all the time
the real trouble very often centers in the
womanly organs. In oS per cent. of cases
the seat of the difficulty is here, and a
woman should take rational treatment for
its cure. The local disorder and inflamma-
ton of the delicate special organs of the
sex should be treated steadily and system
atically.
Backed up by over a third of a century of
remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully
warranted in offering to pay $500 for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Pro-
lapsus, or Failing of Womb which they
cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.

Some SeasOnable Advice

1t may be piece of superfuous ad,
vice to urge people at this season of
the year to lay in a supply of Cham
berlain' Cough Remedy. 1t is almost
sure to be needed before winter is
over, and much more prompt and sat
isfactory results are obtained when
taken as soon as cold is contracted
and before it has become settled in
the system, which can only be done
by keeping the remedy at hand. This
remedy is so widely known and so
altogether er good that none should hesi-
tate about buying it in preference to
any other. 1t is for sale by all deal
ers

HUSBAND AND WIFE.

OF course every husband and wife
know their duty toward each other,
but still they grow little negligent
sometimes and very often few words
will cause them to be more thought
full and press them to their duty
again.
They should always try to be agree
able, and, if one should become lit
tie cross over something that has not
gone Just as wished, let the other be
smiling and cheerful. Never both be
angry at the same time
Wife, when the husband comes in
from his work tired, always meet him
with smile, have the house neat
and tidy, everything in its place,
have his meals on time and something
he may relish to eat, for work gives a
man an appetite, and they do not like
to come in and wait for meal when
they are hungry.
Husband if you should come in
and find things different from the
way you would like them to be, do
not become cross and snap around
about everything; and if you shoul d
be so cruel as to do such thing
when you overcome your passion, GO
to the dearest of all things 1.-THE wife)
and confess you have done wrong. BY
so doing YOU. will heal the wound
that was so painful to her.
Man should not expect too much of
the wife. He must remember she is
too frail being to battle with all the
hardships of this world There are
many ways in which the husband
may be of help to the wife, and we
think he should try to help in all
also we think the wife should hell
the husband in any way her health
will allow, trying to grant his
wishes. Some of them may seem un.
reasonable at first, but we know the
wishes of true, devoted hubsand
will prove for the best.

There will be fifty three Sundays in
this year, an occurrence that will not
happen again for 10 years. This ex-
ira Sunday can be utilized in attend
ing church, calling on your best girl,
reading the scripture, playing with
the children, breaking two-year old
colt or some other way. One hundred
and ten years from this date you will
probably be paying the penalty or en-
joying the pleasures of the method in
which you choose to spend this extra
Sunday.

Oh, the happy little home when the
sun shone out,
And the busy little mother got the
children all about;
And Johnny fetched the water and
Tommy brought the wood.
And Billy boy tied both his shoes, as
every laddie should
And Dannie rocked the cradle with
clatter and a song,
To make the little sister grow 80 pref
ty and so strong.
Oh, the sweet peas and the morning
glories climbing round the door,
And the tender vine of shadow with
its length across the floor
Oh, the "pines" and the roses, and
the quiver of the grass,
And the CHEEKY call of friendship
from the neighbors as they pass
Oh, the scuffie and the shouting. and
the little mother laugh
As rabbit starts up somewhere, and
her great helps scamper off.
Oh, the happy little home when the
twilight fell,
And all along the meadow rang the
old COW bell
With a tinkle that is music through
the rushing of the years
And l see the little mother in the
tremble of the tears,
And hear her happy laughter as she
cries: 1.-The boys have comet
And we know shes getting supper in
the happy Ii tile home.
Oh, the happy little home when the
moon cleaned forth,
And Billy boy would have it "rised
in the north.
Oh, the raptures and the whispers
near the little mothers chair,
AS the white -robed figures are fitting
here and there,
And we're just as near to heaven as
we mortals ever roam,
When we kneel and say our prayers
in the happy little home.
Every wife should be a helpmate to
her husband. For instance, if you
have the pleasure Of large washing
before you and he has the laborious
task of going to the city, or taking &
trip through the country, change
work with him, let him help you
wash IN the forenoon and you helI
him ride in the afternoon. A goot
wife will deny herself to entertain
her husband, especially on wash day.
But some men will say, when
come down to that I'll hire it done. y
We find no fault with hiring it done
but as to coming down to help wo

Three Times is Sufficient.

II have watched this mail order
business closely, as people came in
to my bank to buy drafts" said
Hon. j. B. Harsh, president Of the
Creston National Bank, to a repre-
sentative Of the Star-Enterprise, Of
Alton, "and 1 find that the man
who sends away for his first order is
likely to return before long and
order second time. Some come
back a third time and send their
money to the mail order house, but
it is rare thing when anyone sends
the fourth time. I guess by that
time their experience has cost them
enough and they are ready to quit
That some such state of affairs
exists there is no reason to doubt.
A few trial orders sent to the cata-
logue houses usually opens the eyes
Of the most enthusiastic and the
scheme no longer possesses the
glamor and glare bound to attach to
new convert just through reading
one Of their catalogues.
1t is not hard to find instances
where the customer has met with
long and vexatious delays that have
caused him to lose not only his tenn
per, but large share Of his faith in
humanity. Last summer about the
time the oats became ripe two far
mers in Union county sent away for
their binding Irvine. They sent the
order forward in plenty Of time for
it to be filled and for the goods to
reach them before harvest COM
menced. In one case the Irvine ar
rived late in September, while in the
other case the service was not much
more satisfactory.
1t is safe to say that there is not a
merchant who advertises and who is
determined to get business who will
not meet any catalogue price on any
article handled by him. The bust
ness men have sent away for cata-
logues from the mail order houses.
They are studying the contents and
are becoming thoroughly posted up
on just what is offered and in what
is offered and in what way the quail
ity and price differ from that which
they have on their shelves.-Trade

EVERYBODY WANTS A TIP.

Experience of an American Woman
While Visiting Venice.
One of the things that most astonish
you with regard to the working class
Italian is the perfect frankness with
which he shows his desire for tip.
No false modcsty obscures it. You
may sometimes fear that you will for
get it. Let such fears forever rest.
He won't let you. He will follow you,
asking you il you have your parasol
when I've secs it in your hand or If you
know the way out when he has just
told it to you. The whole poor popula-
ton of Venice is absolutely naif in its.
exhibition OF Il desire for any small
sum of money the passerby may throw
it. The children, one and all, make n
demand for soldino as n matter of
course. 1t is sort Of greeting to ey-
cry foreigner casually as n phrase OF
general usage.
Coming from the bath you fee the
girl who has charge of the lighthouses.
If you don't she has dozen ways of
making herself disagreeable next time
you come. And do not allay your trou-
bled anticipations by the thought she
may not recognize you. One glimpse
of a face fixes it in her memory for
months. After that you fee the wom-
an who takes care of your purse and
jewelry If you fee her enough she
drags out from some inner recess a
cheap mirror which distorts your coun-
tenance and allows you to look into it
and see how truly hideous the human
visage can be made to appear. Before
the bath you have to fee the old wom-
an who gives you your bathing suit.
If you neglect her the next time you
come she will give you suit that
doesn't fit you or is full Of holes.
When you go out on the terrasse for
black coffee, which costs 10 cents,
you fee the waiter. When you get into
your gondola you fee the old man who
draws it close to the steps with hook
ed stick and offers you his withered
old arm to lean on. When you get out
of your gondola at the hotel you fee
another old man with hooked stick
and withered arm. And then at din
ner, If you haven't just feed the wait
er he will be cross, and up in your room
afterward if the femme de chambre
has not recently had a tip she will re-
fuse to answer the bell.-San Francisco

Where He Made His Money

Years ago gentleman settled in the
south of England and became very
popular in the neighborhood. The coun-
ty families could never discover how
he had made his money, but were sat
listed by his solemn assurance that it
wns not in trade. Nothing could ex-
coed the ordinary gravity Of his de-
meanor, which, indeed, caused him to
be placed on the commission Of peace,
but now and then, without any appar-
ent provocation, he would burst into
such Il laugh as no one ever heard be-
fore except IN one place.
Where they could have heard it puz-
zled the counsy families for five and
twenty years, but at last he was be-
trayed unconsciously by his own grand
child, who after visit to travelling
circus innocently exclaimed, "Why,
grandpa laughs just like the clownl"

Warning.


To users Of milk, cream and but
ter, by Prof. @. Larson in his lecture
before the Iowa Dairy Convention at
Ames, Iowa.
ut is we'll known fact that milk
and cream are carriers of contagious
diseases, such as tuberculosis, diph-
liberia, typhoid fever and scarlet
fever. If milk and cream transmit
these diseases there is possibility
that these diseases may becarried in
butter also. Ifthere is possibility
Of transmitting disease through but
ter, then all possible chances should
be removed by pasteurizing the
milk and cream to a sufficiently
high temperature, say ITO to $50 de-
grees +.
According to reports 100000 PEG.
pie die annually from consumption
in the United States. 1t has been
stated by the same board of health
that one person out Of every ten in
the United States is destined to die
of tuberculosis.
| The Iowa Board of Control re-
ports that about 1000 people died
from this disease in Iowa during the
last year.
i In Denmark the government has
enacted laws which compel every
creamery operator to pasteurize all
of his milk and cream before it il
manufactured into butter.
| This law was enacted in order tt
combat the disease tuberculosis.
The Modern Woodmen in theil
last report of death losses gives
tuberculosis the largest number Of
deaths for any one cause, with dealt
by accident second.
We offer you pure pasteurizec
whole milk not skinned or diluted
for Sc per at: 25 per cent pasteur
lied sweet cream for Sc. per ] pit: 81
per cent pasteurized sweet cream
guaranteed to whip, lOc. per ! pit
Reduced prices to consumers o

Of courtesy by our employers. Thi
will be appreciated on account o
