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 q 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 this trying
period in q 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 e. Pinkham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.
Miss Mills has written the two fol-
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which

The ideal Family Laxative.

Is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger Of harmful
effects. It should have properties
which Insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose it's effect altogether. These
properties can. be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreths Pills, be-
cause it's ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is a laxative on the
market that is SO carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated.

English university brought home as
a souvenir Of his residence in that

know now you amt
How did you find that out?" asked
the American, obviously somewhat
disappointed.
Because you get your shoes shined
so often,' was the startling reply. IF
you were an Englishman you wouldn't
do that. Nobody takes such good care
Of their shoes as Americans. If II
were not for their daily shine a lot
Of US fellows would have to go out OF
business and the sale of blaeking and
polish would fall of one-ha1f Next
to Americans, Russians get a shine
most frequently. The English are the
worst of all. They get a shine only
once a week. Even when otherwise
well dressed their shoes are gray and
out of shape. II ever you want to
pass yourself off for an Englishman
you'll have to cut out all this polish

ster We merchants always like to
be courteous to the boys who come
around to see us-most of us are,

a whole lot of men on the road who
don't seem to realize that we have a
whole lot to do besides visiting. He
sold me the unions all right, and when
we got around to the two-piece gar
ments he was perfectly frank. He said:
i think you can find a whole lot of
lines in this stuff that are as good as
what carry; yet at the same time,
perhaps you don't feel like splitting up
your business. Maybe you would like
to let the tail go with the rest of the
