Mrs. Wilson. IF you can't get away,
that's all there is to it. l must try to
make you as comfortable as possible at
home.
"Bunch'-the five-year-old hopeful
..can go to Sister Alice for fortnight;
she'll be only too glad to have him, and
he loves staying with her And all the
other children are in school all day.
You must sleep late in the morning, and
III give you nice breakfast in bed"
But. alas! Wilson woke even earlier
than usual, and although the children
were good as gold, their creaking foot
steps past the door annoyed him ex-
tremely; the hushed whispers in which
they exhorted one another to silence
nearly drove him frantic. When. with

dainty tray it was to find him nervous
and inclined to be cross.
The house was very cold, moreover.
Charles. the colored man who looks
after the furnace, had allowed 1t to go
out. He would be back at ten o'clock to
empty the ashes, SO Mrs. Wilson would
not consider Wilson's suggestion to
light the fire. But Charles did not ap-
pear until half-past eleven. and by that
tine Mr.. Wilson, in no enviable mood,
was himself struggling with the unac-
customed task of clearing OUT the FUR
mace. The appearance of Charles by no
means consoled him for the awful odof
that presently stole through the house.
"Jennie"-the cook-"has gasoline TOT

deprecating patience, "and thought

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because It
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of q good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be a great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering. and in disappointment at
birtl1.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink
ham demonstrate the power of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in
such cases.
Mrs. L. C. Glover, Vice President of
Milwaukee Business WOman'S AsSOcia-
ton, of GA Grove Street, Milwaukee,
Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
II was married for several years and no
children blessed our home. The doctor said
had a complication of female troubles and
could not have any children unless could
be cured. For months took his medicines,
trying in vain for cure, but at last my hus-
band became disguised and suggested that

The recent decree of the czar to
abolish the censorship of the press
will relieve Krivochlik of a great deal
of his responsibility. The new Russian
press law is similar to that enforced
III Germany, newspapers are allowed
to prin. almost anything, but the
editors are made responsible for every
thing appearing in their papers.
Foreigners cannot imagine the sys-
tenn OF censorship prevailing in Russia.
One has to observe at close range the
effect Of the system On the daily press.
1t is seldom that any paper appears on
the streets here or in any place in Rus
STA without great black spots blotting
out sections, and even whole columns.
The censorship now is not as rigor-
GUS as it once was, but it still is
great force. News gets out of Russia
that is not allowed to see the light of
day within its borders. To the for
eigner the system is not easily ex-
planned, for type is blotted out that
would seem to have no bearing on the
internal affairs; sometimes the most
innocent of items disappear because
they would set the readers to thinking.
For instance, an eclipse of the moon
might lead the superstitioIs to imagine
that some hard blow was to be struck
to the empire.
The system requires, it is plain, the
highest intelligence and learning on
the part of those who revise the press
reports, and even then the job is not
a bed of roses, for some one high in
authority will be found objecting to
items that have not been blotted out

''In spite OF all that is printed now

according to the Press, eve should have
to go out Of business if we depended
upon the patronage of men and women
who have passed the prime of life. II
is a mistake to assume that most OF
the false teeth are made for old per-
sons. I venture to say that scarcely
a day passes that a patient well in the
sixties does not come to my Office for
some slight treatment to an almost
perfectly sound set of teeth.
81 have frequently treated men and
women past SO who never had q tooth
out. and bui one or two slight cavities
that required filing. On the other
hand, we are repeatedly called upon to
make artificial teeth for very young
persons. I attribute it to the use of
the hard toothbrush, which is q com
paratively modern invention. The use
OF a hard brush, even occasionally is
q great mistake. The softest kind at
hogs bristles makes the best tooth

Origin of the Postnark

Great Britain, it is said, can, with.
out fear of contradiction, claim the
honor Of having originated the post
mark The first one, which was used
in London as long ago as 1860, was a
very simple affair, consisting of .
small circle divided into two parts In
the top portion were two letters indi-
eating the month, while in the lower
half the day CT the month was shown.
No endeavor was made to denote the
year. and it is only by the dates Of the
letters on which the mark is impressed
that it is possible to fix the date of its
use. The earliest known was on let
ter written in 1880.

ITO the Anglo-Saxon race" says
one writer, who has protested too late
against the destruction of the historic
monument, "Galileo's tower possessed
a special interest, in that it was the
scene Of the classic meeting between
John Milton and the great Italian
astronomer. Indeed, in the whole his
tory of science and literature there is
no incident more picturesque or affect
ing than this introduction of the
Puritan poet, young and vigorous, with
his brain teeming with conceptions for
his mighty epic, to the Florentine sage,
blind, old and prosecuted for affirming
the great truths Of the solar system -
