first made its appearance in red spots,
generally forming a circle, leaving in
the center spot about the size of a
silver dollar of sound flesh In a short
time the affected circle would form
heavy dry scale of white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
off. To remove the entire scales by
bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
a light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four hours.

body, also on my scalp. II let the

THE NEW LABOR PROBLEM.
Mere Bodily Strength Is no Longer
Sufficient.

The question, as old as society itself.
is mind or muscle the more valuable?
is coming to the fore again, not as n
mere academic problem, but as genu-
inc, but as n genuine question of ece-
nomics. We live in the age OF nia-
chinery Steam and electricity are do
ing away more and more with the ordi-
nary IGanual labor.
The man who has nothing but his
muscles to offer society in return for
bread now find that society does not
think the bargain good enough. The
strong arm and fleet foot were enough.
perhaps. to make a candidate for king
ship long ago; but scarcely sufficient
to-day oven for the making of a steve
dore. The high priests of muscle and
their fanatlcal supporters are more ut
terly cut of date than the worshipers
of any African fetish. The struggle for
existence is not, as formerly, an imme-
diate struggle of man with nature
with the recalcitrant soil and the un-
certain sea. The arrangement now is
social. not individual. You may live
II you are worth enough to society. II.
however. you have only muscles to Of

chinery. which your muscles are pow

What are legs of man" compared
with an internal combustion engine?
The jnriksha runner and the motor
car are types Of the contrast. In short.
modern society is such that, other
things being equal, the educated mind
will beat the uneducated muscle every
time.

and unemployment, we must SEQ to 1t

A NERVOUS WRECK.
Mrs. Green Gained 26 Pour.ds and

Dr.. Williams Pink Pills,

General debility is term that covers
a multitude of cases where there is no
acute disease, yet the patient continues
to lose strength and the doctors medi-
cines have no apparent effect. This is

majority of cases DIR. Williams Pink

months and was under the physicians
care most of the time for three years. I
do not know the cause of my trouble but
was FRUSTRATED with weakness and, al
though 1 took great deal of medicine,
nothing seemed to give me strength. At
times my stomach hurt me something
fearful and my head often troubled me.

did not refresh me.

Pink Pills, 1 weighed but 104 pounds.

would not cure me and 1 had patience.
Soon the pills began to give me strength,

Miss KoteMsl0noZd|

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from we'll. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything. backache,
bearing down pains. flatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never. failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia L. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald of Woodbridge,
