you cannot bear to be crossed in any,

have given out; you need building up

A tired mother with two children,
a baby of years that sat on her lap
and bright-eyed boy of perhaps 4,

Two young ladies entered and sat
down at the same table. Seeing the

lunch and holding her younger child
at the same time, one of the young
ladies leaned over and said in a pro-

boy! Won't you let me hold him until
you finish lunch?" The mother gladly
granted the request and was transfer

younger woman, when the little boy.

LAWS A. TO COST OF LIVING
Or. Edward Everett Hale Discusses
Those OF EnQel.

Those Of Engel.
The Rev. Edward Everett Hale, lee
turing in Philadelphia on How to
Regulate Expenses" and How tc
Dress said Engel had carefully
studied expenses, according to the
New York World, and his three laws
are:
l. That the greater the income o.,
any person or family, the smaller the
relative percentage of the outlay fol
subsistence.
2. That the percentage of expense
for clothing is approximately the
same, whatever the income.
8. That the percentage of outlay
for lodging, rent, fuel or light is in.
variably the same, whatever the in.
come.
AS to the clothing there must be a
decent regard for the opinions of man.
kind along with a determination not
to be wholly subservient to them
The cost of clothing to the workman
is from per cent to 10 per cent OF
his income, the average in Massa
chusetts being Is per cent. In Ger
many the average is Is per cent, and
in Illinois 81.
Then there is the question of how
much of ones income to devote tc
other people in the social life. That
must depend on persons own con
seriousness and circumstances. There
is also the problem of contributions
to charity.
DR.. Hale read the principle enunciat
ed by Star King, that for every ex
penditure in amusements we ought to
make corresponding contribution tc
the Improvement of society and in the
interest of the offspring, for when we
do that we have right to our amuse
ments; otherwise we have no right ia
them"

WORDS OF PRAISE WELL MERITED
BY WELL KNOWN ARTICLE.

So much has been written by the
standard medical authorities, of all the
several schools of practice, in praise
of the native, or American, medicinal
plants which enter into the compost
ton of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, that in attempting to quote
from the various works on Matersa
Medica one hardly knows where to
commence, since they are so volumin-
Gus that only the briefest and most i'm
perfect reference can be presented in a
short article like this.
Briefly then let us say that the
~GoIden Medical Discovery" was
named from the sturdy little plant
Golden Seal, the root of which enters
largely into it's composition. Besides
this most valuable ingredient, it con-
tains glyceric extracts of Stone root,
Queens root, Black Cherrybark, Blood
root and Mandrake root.
Finley Ellingwood, M. D., an emin-
ent practitioner of Chicago and Profess
sor of Mdterid Medica in the Bennett
Medical College of that city, in his
recently published work on Therapeu-
tics, says of Golden Seal root: ut is
the most natural of stimulants to the
normal functions of digestion. Its in
fluence upon the mucous surfaces rem.
ders it most important in catarrhal
gastritis inflammation of stomach) and
gastric (stomach) liberation"
Many other authorities as well as DR..
Ellingwood extol the Hydrastis Golden
Seal), as a remedy for catarrhal dis
eases of the nasal passages, stomach,
brOnchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines
and bladder. Among these, we may
mention Prof. John King, M. D., author
of the American Dispensatory; Prof.
j. M. Scudder, M. D., in his cSpecific
Medication" DR.. Hale of the Hahne-
mann Med. College of Chicago; Grover
Coe, NJ. D., of New York, in his vOr-
ganic Medicines" DIR. Bartholow of JEFF
ferson Med. College and scores of other
leading medical writer's and teachers.
All the foregoing eminent authorities
extol the curative virtues of Golden
Seal in cases of stomach, liver and in
testinal weakness, torpor and liberation
of bowels. DR.. Ellingwood recommends
it most highly, Win those cases of atomic
dyspepsia when the entire apparatus,
including the liver, is stagnant and
imperative" He also extOls it most
highly in the many weaknesses and de-
rangements peculiar to women and
SAYS, at is most important remedy in
Seal root (Hydrastis), is an important
ingredient of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription for weak, nervous, rundown"
women.
But to return to the cGolden Medical
Discovery" it may be said that its cur
alive properties are not wholly depend
ent upon Golden Seal, valuable as it is,
as other equally potant ingredients add
greatly to its value and in fact are not
less important than the Hydrastis, or
Golden Seal.
In all bronchial, throat, lung and
kindred ailments, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark, Queens root and Blood
root, each plays as important part
in effectng the phenomenal cures of
rGolden Medical Discovery" as does
Col len Seal All these ingredients
have the endorsement of prominent
practitioners of all schools of medicine
for the cure CT diseases of the bronchia,
throat ami lungs.
