Too Much Fussino About Health

A famous physician, upon being
asked recently what is the chief cause
of ill-health, replied: Thinking and
talking about it all the time. This
ceaseIess introspection in which so
many of the rising generation of ner-
vous folk indulge is certainly wear
ing them out. When they are not
worrying as to whether they sleep too
much or too little they are fdgeting
over the amount of food they take or
the quantity of exercise necessary for
health. In short, they never give
themselves o moments peace"

The traveller through fieladS eaSiffc i1f corn
 and grain in such states as Kansas,
 sees from the car windows numerous applications of modern inventive skill
 to the production of the farmer s
 wealth, and in every county seat he
 finds large display of machinery for cultivating and harvesting crops. He cannot so readily learn to what extent the farmers home has shared in the general advance, but he knows how essential to the farmers happiness must be everything that ministers to the strength and cheerfulness of his partner-the faithful housewife. Thousands of farmers wives, in the Great West particularly, will read with interest the story of the struggle of one of their number to meet the constant demand upon her strength until she found that she was losing ground in the unequal contest, and must cease to be helpmatc and en- ter the class of confirmed invalids, if help did not come from some source that would renew her strength.
 Mrs l.. O. Law, of No. 324 North street, Horton, Kansas, says: "In 1897, while we were living on farm in this neighborhood, became generally facilitated as the result of overwork. 1 had serious indigestion, lost my ap- petite, suffered from sense of suffo- cation and from obstruction of the circulation, so that artificial means had to be used to restore it. After suffering for months without finding any relief, I tried a box of Dr Will Hams Pink Pills which had seen ad- vertised in a newspaper. The first few boxes made me lots better, and after using the third box I felt entire ly well. About two years afterward I ran down again and immediately re- sumed taking the pills. In two months 1 was fully restored to vigor and have held the gain ever since. am now in excellent health and am able not only to take care of my house but also to as sist my husband in store which he has lately taken. Pink Pills have helped me every time I have taken them. They deserve to be recommend ed. They are so simple, so easily talk en and so prompt in their action. I have said this to many already and am glad to say it to still more.'
 This remedy, being in the form of pill, is manifestly free from alcohol, against which so much has been printed, and it is guaranteed to con- tain nothing that can injure the most delicate constitution. The pills can be obtained from all druggists and at most general stores.

ST JOHNS BUSY ACTIVITIES.
 The Boys Military club has closed
 it's meetings for the summer. The club has grown so large and the boys are of such different ages that it has become evident that better results can be secured if a reorganization of some kind is effected. In the fall we hope to have two divisions, one for the older and one for the younger boys. The Girls Friendly Society and the can- didates' class have been having very successful meetings. Both will stop for the summer vacations in few weeks, as Deaconess Roberts will be away during the summer. The train ing class for Sunday school teachers, which meets Friday evening under the instruction Of Deaconess Roberts, has proved to be exceedingly interesting and helpful. Already many of the teachers are using the instructions in their classes and in every case have found the children greatly interested. We wish more teachers and more who wish to become teachers would at tend.-TThe Parish Chronicle.
