Is Modern CourtshIp Quick?

An American lady hns discovered
that courtship is swifter business
than of old. This does not result, as
you might suppose from the increas-
ing "hustle" of these happy days, nor
from the higher speed of the maldens

lovers "stole word or two between
the pauses of minute" things
dragged. Now that n 'couple can

Country Life in America. At dinner
which he attended he heard the sug.

shade trees. Immediately he bought
thousands of young elm, maple and
chestnut trees, and as soon as it was
possible had them shipped to Tona'
wanda and stored in nursery there.
Then he announced that all who would
might have trees by applying at the
nursery. The effect was wonderful.
Streets that never would have had
trees were soon filled with flourlshing
young saplings that in twenty years
will be priceless-a magnificent monui
ment to one man. Two thousand of
the trees were distributed in an in
credibly short time. There was more
tree planting in Tonawanda this spring
than ever before. The only condition
attached to the offer was that persons
taking trees should guarantee to plant
them for shade purposes and to plant
them in accordance with directions
given at the nursery.-World's Work.

Why the woman who works for a
living is usually more nervous and In
less eXuberant health generally than
the man who works, has been matter
for much discussion in clubs and news.
papers, and without any satisfactory
verdict having been reached, but there
are those who do not find 1t hard to
understand the phenomenon.
The man who works usually does one
sort of work. He Is physician, law
yer, or a clerk, and when he has closed
his office door for the day, If he is o
sensible man. he puts in the remainder
of the time enjoying himself in what
ever way best suits him.
And the woman who wOrks-well
she Is usually jack of dozen trades
and master Of none.
When she comes home from her office
1t occurs to her that there are half q
dozen pairs of stockings to be darned-
and she sets to work forthwith on this
nerve-tearing work. When the stock
ings are finished, she Is just as likely
as not to sew on the lace that the
laundress has ripped off n skirt, and
she goes to bed with her head aching
and absolutely unrefreshed.
In the morning she remembers that
there are dozen little lace collars to
be laundered, for they were much too
fragile TO go in the general laundry,
and that afternoon she gives over tc
the "doing-up" of these troublesome
little things, adding a couple of white
belts, three pairs of white gloves and
veil TO the pile.
When she has finished with these,
her back IS aching, and she is glad to
lie down and read by the light of a
distant and dim gas jet the afternoon
newspaper, thereby bringing on the
ills that come from eye strain.
She discovers the next afternoon that
her hair needs washing, and she spends
good two hours at this hard work.
She doesn't feel that she can afford the
seventy-flve cents or 81 that hair
dresser would charge her for this SER
vice, and which the latter can do much
better than she can do it herself. and
so sh- expends strength that is worth
more to her than money, in half-dolng
this work.
She mancures her own nails when
she should be taking nap, and makes
shirt waists when she should be eHer-
cising in the open. She makes cara
mels by way Of fun. and fuses over
them until she herself admits that she
is "half-dead."
She finds things for herself to do
that really needn't be done, and by
the end of the summer she is limp
and nerve-racked rag.
"But have to keep nice" she walls,
"and / cannot afford to hire some ona
to do my mending and to groom my
hair and nails"
1t is, indeed, problem how the busi-
ness woman shall manage, but, never
thclcss. these are some Of the reasons
why she who works for a living is
usually n thin and anaemic person,
who looks haggard and old before her
time.-Baltimore News.

TmnIc Efrecta In Skirts.

1t is rumored that tunlc effects In
skirts are TO appear with the first mel
ancholy days. In fact, some ultra
smart women are wearing them now.
The bell-shaped tunlcs, short at the
sides and arranged over Il plain or
hounced skirt are the most attractive.
Other tunic models have square
apron effect slnshed up at the sides,
and for stout figures this style is best,
giving long lines. If you think of
having woolen street gown made
now, be sure that the skirt Is cut in n
modified bell or umbrella shape.

treat the disease constitutionally, l
think you ought to use the Schuessler
method of treatment. Schuessler was
IN old German doctor who discovered
.ae system of incorporating into tablet
form the various tissue elements Of
the body. He then supplied them in
that shape to the diseased tract-the
specific element required by each spe-
cific condition, the disease being caused
by lack of balance in the tissue ele-
ments, which balance must be restored
before a cure is effected. Thus in
your case those clements which would
build up and feed the tissues in the
nerves, muscles, etc, of the knee would
be selected. BY all means continue the
manipulations. l trust you Will adopt
these suggestions.

Duflng the hot summer months there
are frequently days when one feels
as though rest was out of the question.
Although one may not be doing extra
work, In fact, not as much as Is Ordi-
narily done, yet rest seems far away.
The very atmosphere appears to make
one tired, whether standing, sitting or
lying down. Nothing seems to give
rest or refreshment.
A number of years ago l was, one
hot summer day, having just such an
experience in Providence. Il. |. Walk
Ing down Westminster street | met an
old gentleman whom | knew quite
well, and he appeared so cool and
bright and comfortable that ! felt it
woud be relief just to stop and chat
with him. | made some complaint
about the depressing effects of the
heat, and he at once asked me to go
with him to one OF the little restaurants
Sor which Providence is famous.
protested that | was not hungry, MS
It was only II o'clock. but he said:
Hungry? No, of course you are not
for ordinary food, but your nerves and
blood are hungry for kind of food
which but few people know how to
supply" Hoping to learn something
and get rest and comfort, II possible,
l went gladly.
"Give DR.. Reeder glass of my COM
pound double extract Of youth" was
the order he gave, and | watched with
interest while the waiter took from n
large sack quart Of common wheat
Bran Into this he poured ice water,
sll 1t would hold. lie then waited upon
another customer, being gone about
five minutes. Ny friend in the mean
time had been chatting pleasantly. At
last he saw me look rather anxlously
toward the waiter, and remarked:
"Don't be in n hurry; You will find my
double extract much better If it is not
made in a hurry"
Presently the waiter returned and
then proceeded to make couple of
glasses of lemonade out of the water,
which looked n creamy white. 1t
Semeed to me that ! had never par
taken of anything quite so delicious.
We slipped it slowly, and every drop
seemed 10 be doing its duty. In half
an hour the tired feeling had vanished
and / felt as fresh and vigorous as
usually felt when the temperature was
fifteen or twenty degrees lower.
A couple Of hours later l was sur
prised TO note that my usual lunch
time was past and that l felt no de-
sire for food. About o'clock l went
- TO the little restaurant and called for
another compound double extract"
with equally satisfactory results. Nat
ural hunger came about 6 o'clock, and |
went homet TO good dinner with the keen
appetite of health. Many times since
then | have recommended this cool
ing, strengthening. delicious drink for
invalids. for brain workers, for rheu-
matsm and as substitute for the
noon meal in obesity, with perfectly
satisfactory results. 1t is easy to
make, and as a cooling, strengthening
drink for men who are working in the
harvest field it is far superior to plain
lemonade or water. 1t is also an eX-
cellent drink for nursing mothers, al
though there should be less of the
lemon used. Children can use it freely.
