1t is a subject of remark that the great

At the New York State Assembly of

told the 500 women present that healthy
American women were SO rare as to be

some trouble arising from n derange-
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
HOW THEY MAINTAIN THE CHARMS
OF THEIR SEX.
The Importance that Attaches to the Care
of the Blood If One Wants Bright Eyes
and n Clear Complexion.

Every sensible woman naturally wishes
toappear attractive. She knows the value
of bright eyes, delicate complexion aud
lively spirits. She knows also that
good health is at the basis of her charms,
and that good blood is the source of good
health.
Miss Mamie Conway has complexion
which is the admiration of all who know
her. Asked if she could make any sug-
gestions that would be helpful to others
less fortunate, she said
"My complexion would not have
pleased you, if you had seen it two years
ago. 1t was then about as bad rs it
could be, and it gave me great deal of
dissatisfaction. If you want n good
complexion you must take care of your
health, especially of the condition of
your blood My health was at that time
completely broken down. l was nervous,
had frequent headaches, a torpid liver
and great deal of pain III that region.
l suffered also from indigestion. 1t was
clear that my blood was in bad condition,
for pimples broke ont all over my face"
at is hard to realize that, for there
isn't the slightest trace of such blem-
lSneS now.
at was unfortunately quite other
wise then, and a long time passed before
found anything that gave me any re-
lief. I became very weak and listless.
The doctors medicine did me no good.
and took number of highly recon-
mended tonics with no better result.

Williams Pink Pills for Pale People my
compleSion cleared up, and after had
taken two boxes there was not n sign of

became rosy. L gained flesh ard have had
perfect health ever since"
Rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes are
merely signs ofhealthy blood. They have
come not only in the case of Miss Conway,
whose homo is at 1871 East Eighth street,
Canton, Ohio, but to thousands of
women for whom DIR. Williams Pink

Literary Note,

In the novelette, which opens the
April Smart Set, Grace MacGowan has
struck an entirely new note in fiction.
It is story Of the West, so saturated
with the atmosphere of that part of
our country and so Photographic in its
depletion of ranch life that it will
take high rank among the best tales
Of that class; yet it more as a char
acter study that THE Red-Headed
Woman will win praise. The heroine
is the most original, most human, the
most refreshing woman who for a long
time has stepped from printed page.
There is no reader who will not be
fascinated by her vagaries and inter
ested in her remarkable career.
Bliss Carman has contributed an es-
say to this number, "On Having
Known Painter" wherein he again
reveals himself as a writer of exquis-
tie prose.
The poetry is far above the average
Of magazine verse, and is written by
such favorite authors as Edith NJ.
Thomas, Clarence Urmy, Zcla Gale,
Madison Cawein, Arthur Dawson
Ficke, Mamie Byrd Turner and Gou-
Verneur Morris, the latter supplying
another installment of his inimitable
verses, Below Stairs"
The April Smart Set maintains its
own sigh standard of excellence, and
Is remarkable for the note Of variety
which it strikes.

KlPLING SYSTEMATIC WORKER.
English Author Puts in Ten Hours
Day at His Desk.

KipIings method Of work presents
direct antithesis to that of the Ger
man scholar. The English scholar
spends only about ten hours day at
his desk, but he is systematic work
err, going about his writing at the
same time every morning. A friend
of the author who has seen him late.
ly says that he has grown very thin
and looks much more than the thirty
nine years that stand to his account.
It would seem that he has never quite
recovered from his serious illness in
New York and that the death of his
little daughter had deepened his spir-
ituality. Kipling's favorite form Of
recreation is motoring, and he takes
a boyish delight in rediscovering Eng
land with his hand on the brake. An
American author who met him last
summer warned him to be careful
not to let his enthusiasm make him
run his machine off the island.

WOMAN NEEDS

For the relief and cure of the many del.
icate, intricate and obstinate ailments
peculiar to her sex, a remedy carefully
devised and adapted to her delicate
organization by an experienced and
skilled physician. Such remedy is
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
The treatment of many thousands of
those chronic weaknesses and Distress
ing ailments peculiar to females, at the
1nvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y, has afforded a vast ex-
perience in nicely adapting and thor
oughly testing remedies for the cure of
woman's peculiar maladies.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
the outgrowth, or result, of this great
and valuable experience. Thousands
OF testimonials received from patients
and from physicians who have tested it
in the more aggravated and obstinate
cases which had baffled their skill,
prove it to be superior remedy for the
relief and cure of suffering women. It
is not recommended as cure-all,"
but as a most perfect specific for wom-
ans peculiar ailments.
As q powerful invigorating tonic, it
imparts strength to the whole system
and to the womb and its appendages in
particular. For over-worked, sworn
OUT" debilitated teachers, milliners,
dressmakers, seamstresses, "shop-
girls" house-keepers, nursing moth
ers, and feeble women generally, "Fa-
vorite Prescription" is the greatest
earthly boon, being unequaled as an
appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.
As a soothing and Strengthening
nervine, "Favorite Prescription " is
unequaled and is invaluable in allaying
and subduing nervous excitability, irri-
liability, nervous exhaustion, nervous
prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms,
chorea, or St. Vitus's dance, and other
distressing, nervous symptoms COM
monty attendant upon functional and
organic disease of the womb. It in
duces refreshing sleep and relieves
mental anxiety and dependency.
