Mrs. Ihndp0ffS

Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate a dis
placement or nerve degeneration OF
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
is how can a woman who la some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of SO Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes:
NY Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"D~ring the early partof my married hfeI
was delicate in health both my husband and
I were very anxious for a child to bless our
home, but l had two miscarriages, and could
not carry a child to maturity. A neighbor
who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound advised me totry it. L
did so and soon felt that l was growing
stronger, my headaches and backacheS left
me, l had no more bearing-down pains, and
felt like a new woman. Within a year L
became the mother of a strong, healthy
child, the joy of our home. Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is certainly a
splendid remedy, and I wish every woman
who wants to become a mother would trylt.
Actual sterility in woman is very
rare. If any woman thinks she is ster-
lie, let her try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs.
Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Her advice is
free to expectant or would-be mothers.

REALLY GOOD CUP OF TEA
Plea for Proper Preparation of Cheer
ing Beverage and Eloquent
Words in Its Favor.

1t is an astounding fact hat one can
not get a good cup of tea except in one
or two hotels in America. The tea
served in the average restaurant is q
decoction that is usually ~nauseating,
while in Canada you can get good tea
in almost every place. The trouble is
not with the tea but with the way in
which it is made. When properly
brewed tea is the most refreshing, cheer
ing and wholesome in all the long list
of beverages. 1t is perfectly easy to
make a good cup of tea, and there is no
family too poor to have it, for it is far
cheaper than coffee. A palatable tea
can be had for 25 cents a pound and u
really excellent one for so cents or %
to 200 cups, according to the strength
desired. The following rules must be
observed if a good cup of tea is desired:
1. Use a china, earthenware or silver
teapot, heated by filling with boiling
water before the tea is made.
2. Place in the hot teapot a heaping
~teaspoonful of tea for each cup desired,
adding 'one teaspoonful for the pot"
for instance, if your pot holds four cups
place five teaspoonfuls of tea in it.
3. Draw cold water fresh from the
faucet.
4. Let it boil furiously in a kettle, but
the instant it boils pour it on the tea
in the teapot.
5. Let the pot stand on the stove, but
not where it will boil, for three to six
minutes.
6. Pour it off the leaves into another
hot pot, or directly into the teacups.
z. Oolong tea should be served plain,
or with a slice of lemon and a lump of
sugar, never with cream. Black tea
Commonly called English breakfast")
should be served with cream.
Tea which is boiled or infused for
more than six minutes becomes a de-
coction of tannin and is injurious to the
digestion.-N. Y. World.

THE NEW FALL STYLES.
Some Trim Travelling Frocks De-
scribed - An Exceptionally
Nice One Of Gray Alpaca.

but light colors are still favored. and
many Of the toilets arranged for travel
ing are Of tweed and homespun in very
light mixtures, and simply relieved with
q collar and cuffs of velvet in a bright
contrasting tone, or strapped with silk
Of a deeper tint.
Alpaca is much In vogue forthe cooler
type Of travelling gown, and one or two
charming frocks for country wear have
been fashioned of this light and durable
material. A ~dove-colored skirt, inno-
tent of trimming, is set in graduated
tucks, which are quite free at the edge
and give a delightful fullness to the
skirt. There is no lining. but a daintily
frilled petticoat of emerald green alpaca
gives effect to the plain skirt, which
just touches the ground, and is slightly
raised for walking. The simple, loose
bolero is lined with emerald satin, and
some white mercerized braid outlines
the outher edge and breaks into pretty
little scrolls at frequent intervals. a
wee touch of emerald velvet appears on
the lapel and neat tailor collar, and is
repeated on the cuffs. A soft white vest,
very full, and with lace falling below
the waist, makes this quite a smart lit
tie gown for afternoons in the country,
or buttoned up with a plain linen front,
it is useful for travelling.
A deep blue royale in alpaca is effect
lively trimmed with silky black braid,
with a tiny silver and black cordins
lying closely on the inner edge of the
braid, and a square collar of the deep
blue velvet, ornamented in the same
fashion. The Elton coat is lined with
blue silk. and the vest is of tucked ivory
washing silk, with a center b~ox-plait
and collar band of broderie Anglaise,
and there is a toque of blue and ecru
belts, simply trimmed with quilts and
a twist of velvet.
Winter millinery consists principally
of contrasting tints. and the darker felts
have touches of very light or bright col
oring. A shaded brown toque has brown
quilts and a huge cluster of dahlia bios
SONS in vivid heliotrope tints, and an
other of darker brown, mixed with che
mile, is relieved with bold twists. of
banana yellow panne and brown
speckled quilts.
Emerald-green is too becoming to be
lightly laid aside, and a charming
toque of black is wreathed with twists
of green velvet on a raised %bandeau, and
there are green wings, fitting backward.

time ago this lady told me OF her expert
ence with a hair dressing graft. 1t was
as follows:
She had called at a New York hair
dressing establishment. Being ushered
into a booth, she was placed in the hands
of a German, whose wretched English
she could not understand, nor apparent
ly could she make him comprehend a
word she uttered.
While washing and cleaning her hair,
he kept chattering in broken English
and German. apparently making this
suggestion and that, while working like
a trooper. She explained to him, or

On looking it over carefully, she said:
How does 1t happen that the nam OF

on this receipt? 1t seems very strange
that you should be out collecting money
