Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians. as they SO often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start the menstrual
period in a young girls life without
pain or Irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia K. Pinkham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.
Miss Mills has written the two fol-
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which
will be read with interest:

With a two-foot fall a breast VIII,

With a two-foot fall breast wheel
would probably be the most satisfac-
tory. At the same time only small
quantity of power, probably about
one-ffth of horse power can be
gained from the amount of water
specified here, assuming the velocity
of the water in the fume to be two
feet per second. AS it is not likely
the correspondent would go to the
trouble to construct wheel for this
small amount of power, it is not nee
essary to give description of the
wheel that would serve the purpose.

Action and High Ideals.

When Horace Greeley was a boy
one of his mates said to him one Sat
urday: Come, Hod, let's go fishing"
Let's do our stent first" was young
Horace's characteristic reply. Even
in his youth he wanted to get some
think done promptly and well. What
wonder is it that when he became a
man, and an editor of one of the most
powerful journals in America, he still
wanted to do something with his pa
per, to have it strike heavy blows in
behalf of human freedom, happiness
and progress? And any man who
cherishes high ideals of usefulness
and governs his life by them will
never be accused of going through
motions. He will be able, on the 9th
er hand, to point to something done
when the summons comes to go up

Evanston ONCE, had been summoned to
a Judson avenue home and there obliged
TO mind a baby while its mother went
shopping. While verifcation Of some
details OF the story from high official

can has secured the following explana-
ton over the telephone from shrill-
voiced and blase person in the Evanston
messenger Office:
