The Hat Itself,

1t was beautiful and bright on Easter
morning, and Oldtown church was
filled to the doors.
No one would have admitted that
sheer he-felt the slightest curiosity
to see Edith Days New York hat "
yet when Edith came in all eyes for a
moment rested critically, wonderingly
or admirinsly upon the decidedly I'M
usual creation which adorned the
young girls head.
And afterWard on their hOmeward
way these various comments upon it
We're exchanged:
It's awfully becoming!" It's a
perfect fright" Its stylish-but it's
queer!" 1T looked like dull black
leghorn." "Such old-time yellow lace!"
wasn't that wreath real bittersweet
berries!" "Queerest New York hat
ever saw" She looked roguish-she
knew everyone was looking at it,
"She hurried home as if she felt afraid
we'd ask how much it cost" "Gt
looked like a coal scuttle upside
down."
And the final verdict was this: odd
town millinery is good enough for US! -

Days was the only dissenting voice.
Edith wants nothing-but her new
hiatt" Maria Alling said. slyly.
The girls asked curiously what Maria
meant.
she just means that I'm saving up
for hat for Easter; I've been hoard
ing all winter; l haven't spent even
my Christmas money. It's all going
for New York hattie most remark
able hat that Oldtown ever saw"
The girls looked at Edith enviOusly.
While she had no more to spend than
they, she seemed to have everything
heart could desire They did not real
ize that she had learned to save the
pennies until she could buy some
thing really good, while theirs slipped
away for candy, soda water and the
like.

Compound two months | became regular and

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, 1t does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer SO severely. Menstrual
ton is severe strain on woman s
Vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or 1t will lead to a serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
Ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham' g
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
full and irregular menstruation.
1t provides safe and sure way of es-
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con-
viucingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes of $40 N. Davi
sion Street, Buffalo, N. Y, writes
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
"Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine
for women. | suffered misery for years with
painful periods. headaches, and bearing-dowu

saw some of her Sunday -school chill
dren," and spoke to them.
Presently she came upon a child who
was crying bitterly. why, what's
the matter, little one?" she asked; ARE
you hurt?"
The child grasped Edith's hand and
dragged her forward, murmuring be-
tween her sobs: "Mudder sick-turned
out. And before she realized what
the child was doing Edith stood on
the threshold of one of the poorest
tenements
In the dim room she saw a weeping
woman, two tiny children and man,
who was talking angrily.
Come" he said, mo more of this!
You are four weeks behindhand now;
you can't pay-so out you go!"
But I've been sick" walled the
woman. when I'm we'll l work and
get good wages. I've always paid
promptly, and will again-just as soon
as | can get work"
I've heard all that before-but out
you and the young ones must go
this very afternoon"
How much does she owe?" Edith
asked, suddenly. And the man, who
had not noticed her presence until
then, started and stared at her. Then
his offensive manner changed and he
answered civilly.
Edith's heart leaped with gladness.
The amount he named-the four
weeks rent for this poor family-was
IF | pay you, will you promise to
/ leave this woman here in peace, and
even if she isn't able to pay promptly
at the end of next week, not to threat

to waltz"
Certainly, miss. l didn't know she
+ had friends or l wouldn't have both
cred her. And Pm only the agent, miss;
l was obeying orders"
Sign the receipt" said Edith, count
ing out the money, and the man
obeyed. Then respectfully bidding her
good afternoon" he went away
The poor woman fell on her knees
and kissed Edith's hands, while the
children danced joyously around her.
Don't, don't" cried Edith. why,
I'm so glad | could. And here's a
dollar left-take that, for it may be
still some days before you are strong
enough to work"
She escaped at last and fastened on
toward the post office, with happy
tears in her eyes and the woman's
blessings ringing in her ears.
Suddenly she stopped. why should
l go there-now?" she said And
tearing her letter, she watched the
pieces scatter in the wind, crying gay
ly: "Good-by, my New York hat!"
Then she started for home, repeat
ing softly to herself "Inasmuch as
We have done it unto one of the least
of these-ye have done it unto Me. "
Edith wondered what mamma
would say" But there were visitors
at the house that afternoon, so she
had no chance to tell her mother.
And the next morning Mrs. Day was
called suddenly away to her sick sister
in a neighboring town.

Advancement in Scientific Medicine.

OF late there has been considerable
comment as to the advancement of
science. One Of the broadeSt sciences is
that of Medical Chemistry. Eminent
physicians all over the country have indi-
vidualy and collectively decided that the
amount of alcohol contained in liquid
medicine, stimulates the organs and makes
one feel better while taking, just as would
liquor, but it acts directly upon the stomach
and kidneys, inuring them TO such an ex-
tent as to form incurabe organic troubles.
In fact it has been carried so far by the
manufacturers of liquid medicine that it
has become necessary for the law makers
of the land to take a part in it. In the
