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-
lnents, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for q
healthy maternity?
If aHpectant 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 great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering. and in disappoint ments at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink
ham demonstrate the power Of Lydia
E. Pinkhams 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:-
6 l was married for several years and no
children blessed our home The doctor said

could not have any children unless could
be cured. For months took his medicines,
trying in vain for a cure, but at last my hus-
band became disgusted and suggested that

THE PHILOSOPHY OF SUCCESS.

Secretary Shaw, speaking to the
students Of Nebraska University, told
them: .sIt really matters but little
what you do, If you do it better thar
it is now being done. There are a
great many claims that ought to be
jumped. There is not an element of
success that you're not thoroughly
grounded in," and for their encourage
ment added, ".the world is not doing its
work very we'll"
The secretary is a shrewd, success
full man of affairs, one who has observ-
ed and prof1ted by observation. What
he said was old as the hills, but timely
as the sunrise. The call in every field
is for men who have learned how to do
something, and acquired the dexterity
to do 1t.
OF the truth Of Mr.. shaw's philoso-
phy the man who sells electricity Offer
ed unconscious corroboration this NOR
ming. When the new building of the
Times-Republican Is finished electricity
will furnish the power and the electric
power people are being crowded to
complete their arrangements for car
rying the current. The power man ex-
cused delay by pleading press of
business and scarcity Of help. He
was advised to get more help. 81 can't
do it," complained the power man. IT
can get hundred men to dig in the
dirt or carry poles, but the man who
knows enough to get up on a pole and
do work or make a connection prop
erly, is a scarce article
That's the idea. 1t hooks fast to the
borrowed philosophy of Secretary
Shaw. It is not general lack of oppor-
tunity, but general lack of pluck and
perseverance and personal willingness
that makes the ratio Of common labor
ers to skilled workmen 100 to one. The
fault Is not in the chance, but in the
individual. Shaw in his own success
exemplifies his own philosophy. The
lineman on the pole earning $3.50 to SO
a day and the other just ahead of him
digging post holes at half the wages
are examples of the fact that the Sc
cret of success is no secret at all, but
consists of knowing how to do some
thing and doing 1t well.
When the secretary told the boys the
world is not doing is work very well,
he looked ahead, and not behind, for
his standard of comparison. Judged
by what has been done his comparison
fails. Measured by what is to do and
needs doing. it Stands The world is
always looking for the man with newer
ideas, better methods, the man who
does things better than they have
been done before, and 1t waits with re-
wards in its hands. The progress OF
mankind is the opportunity Of the in
dividual and until the world has reach
ed It's limit of progression there will
be no lack of opportunity for those

There are many things in the world
