Many llmes women call on their family physicians. suffering. as they imagine, one from dyspepsia. another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease. another from nervous exhaustion or proStration. another with pain here and there. and in thIs way they All present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep arate and distinct diseases. for which he. assuming them to be such. prescribes his pills and potions. In reality. they are all only symptoms caused by some uterine disease. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages this prac- tlce until large bills are made. The suf- ferlng patient gets no better, but probably worse, by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine like Dr. Pierce's Fla vorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms, and institutiDg comfort in stead of prolonged misery It has been well said, that d disease known IS half cured"

The practice of hanging a wet shirt
sleeve before the fireplace to watch the
future husband or wife come in at
midnight to turn it, is not popular in
this country. Steam radiators are not
good substitutes of fiTeDlaces and ev-

Burns, in speaking of this peculiar GUS
tom, says:

My droukit sark-sleeve as of ken

In the very gray breeks Of Tam Glen.
Modern Franks Are Riotous.
The games and practices described
are but a few of many which contri-
butte to the hilarity of Halloween az
fairs The '5pooky'' element in it's OBJ
servance appeals strongly to children.
Disguised in horrible masks and clad
in fantastic costumes, the younger tots
parade the streets, carrying jack-O'-
lanterns and torches. They are really
playing the old parts of the Druid

Where stock barns lay in the path

do not look forward to the arrival of

means countless runs for them. Old
