Fools All the Doctors.

There is hale and hearty looking
old chap walking about town" re-
marked New York physician lately,
who for years has had a complica:
tion of diseases which make him most
interesting to the profession. The
ailments of which he shows undenia-
BILE symptoms are rarely seen in com
bination and the state of his inner
workings is matter for speculation
among the doctors who have examined
him.
"The old fellow himself loves to tell
that when he first asked medical ad-
vice, some twenty years ago, the ply
sician, famous practitioner in those
days. wrote across the diagnosis he
had put down on paper: This man
cannot live thirty days. should like
to be present at the autopsy. That
great doctor has been dead these
many years and the dying patient still
smiles cheerfully and seeks a. cure for
his malady. Queer, isn't it?"

=, Why. when buying book. are we in.
nuenced by the authors name! Why by
an artists II we purchase a picturel
Why do wise buyers insist upon having
reliable name on nearly everything they
purchasey
II is because the name attached is the
safeguard OF the buyer protection
against the pa'ming of OF inferior articles.
This name guarantee we all look for IN
the most important things we buy, and
what can be more important than our
food!
Everybody knows that all intelligent
housekeepers are very particular about the
buying OF things to eat and drink, and no.
body realizes it more than the up-to-date
grocer, who caters to the wants OF his GUS
toners.
For instance. every real grocer knows
the reason for the universal popularity of
LION COFFEE, the leader of all package
cotees. He knows that its uniform purity
and high quality have made it welcome in
millions of American homes for over a
quarter of a century.
Realizing this he cannot but hand it out
cheeriully when asked for il. lie knows
that the people accept the package as
guarantee Of the contents.
Yet there may be a few grocers left who
do not recognize that the buyer--not the
seller-has the right OF choice, and they
may want to sell their loose coffee (who
knows what it Is, or where it came from !
instead OF LION COFFEE, which the Gus.
toner asks tor, and the merits OF which
both know.
In such cases the wisest advice is:
Change your dealer"

more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink

Surely women are wise in seeking

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

No other medicine in all the world

SPLENDID RECORD OF Y. M. c. a.
Now Great Power for Good Among
the Worlds Workers.

Sixty-one years ago Mr.. George Will
liams Of Hitchcock, Williams & Co.
London, and eleven other young men
held an informal meeting in a room in
st. Pauls church They organized a
Young Mems Christian Association
for improving the spiritual condition
Of young men engaged in the drapery
and other trades"
Mr.. Williams was elected president
of the little society. He inaugurated
a course Of lectures, extended the or
ganization to all parts Of London, to
all parts OF Great Britain, to all parts
Of Europe. It came to Boston in 1851
and spread to all parts Of the United
States.
It grew amazingly in numbers and
in influence. 1t was so great an or
ganization on its semi-centennial in
1894 that Queen Victoria made its
founder Sir George Williams. He re-
NAMED at the head OF the British
society until his death.
Men have been knighted for
achievements in military and public
life, for services to the state or in the
cause Of literature and science.
George Williams was knighted be-
cause he founded and organized the
" NJ c. A.
There are now 1876 y VI. G. A. As
sociations in the world. OF these
1878 are in the United States, Can
ada, and Mexico, having a member
ship Of 373,502, The American as
sociations own property to the value
Of $26,200,0O0 and expend annually
in their work s4,492,000
The little society Of George Will.
liams has grown into a great inter
national association working through
nearly a million members. 1t has
worked with the churches Of all de-
nominations, has extended its actiy-
tiles to every country in the world,
and, while it has undoubtedly brought
the several branches Of the Christian
church closer together.
Independent Of its relation to the
churches, the Y. NJ. c. A. has worked
on lines laid out by the founders and,
in the larger cities and on the rail-
ways Of all nations, on the merchant
fleets of all the maritime powers, in
the armies and in the navies Of the
great military powers. has pushed its
active work to the benefit OF mankind.
Sir George Williams could look back
over sixy-one years and see the
growth OF his corporaps guard Of 1874
to a great army Of earnest crusaders.

Gentleness is almost another name

the gentle ones; the strong man Is
the most tender He is tender be-
cause he is strong. Gdo not mean the
physically strong but strong In spirit.
You know that it is weak person
who gives way to temptation to be
violent and the strong in spirit can
hold himself, or, better. let Christ
hold him, and change the rough ana
