If her system is in derauged condi- tion. or she is predisposed to apopleNy or congestion of any organ, it is at this time likely to become active and, with host of nervous irritatiOns, make life a burden.
 At this time, also cancers and tumors are more lia ble to begin their destruc- tive work. Such warning symptoms as a sense of snfocation. hot flashes, dig ziness, headache, dread of impending evil. sounds in the ears, timidity, pal pitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, varia- ble appetite, weakness and inquietude are promptly needed by intelligent women who are approaching the period of life when woman's great change may be expected.
 We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound is the worlds great est remedy for women at this trying period.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound invigorates and strengthens the female organism, and builds up the weakened nervous system as no other medicine can.
 Mrs. A. E. G. Hyland, of Chester town. Md, in letter to Mrs. Pink ham, says:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 "I had been suffering with a displacement for years and was passing through the change of life l had good deal of soreness, dizzy spells, headaches, and was very nervous wrote you for advice and commenced treat- ment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as you directed, and 1 am happy to say that all those distressing symptoms left me, and I have passed safely through the change of life we'll woman."
 For special advice regarding this inn portant period women are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass She is daughter-in-law of Lydia B. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising sick women free of charge. Her advice is free and always helpful to ailing women.

ODERLESS Refrigerat0rS

The shelves of an "Odorless" may be crowded with an elaborate variety melon, fish, butetr, cream, vegeta. bles-without one dish being affected by the odor of another.
 < Fresh, cold air enters the food box at the bottom and passes over the milk and butter :. while absolutely fresh. It then flows up through the shelves-literally-for they are of woven wire to admit of free circula- tion-and out.
 This system secures a low uniform temperature and gives to the "Odor- less" an absolutely pure, sweet atmos- rhere, that is perfect for preserving food.
 Write us for booklet-"The Pride Of the Clean''-it is free, or call and We will take pleasure in handing you a copy, show you our line of "Odor- less" refrigerators in solid oak cases, and explain their many superior points.

out of the ground, but were in full bloom.
On the third night they were covered with
pods full of green peas.
On the fourth night, the peas were ripe.
Peter broke open one of the pods. Oh, how
beautiful! What were those lovely shining
things that he held in his hands? Surely
they were not peas.
"He hal ha!',~
What little trill of laugh it was
Peter looked around in surprise, and saw
tiny figure, all in white, tripping about over
the beds.

And, bidding Peter goodnight, she foated
away in the direction of the moon
Peter gathered his pearls, and stealing down
and out the back way, so as not to awaken the
cobbler and his wife, carried them to the
merchant, who gave him so much gold for them
that it was impossible to bring it away. The
basket which the merchant gave him would
not hold it, and that, when it was full, was
as much as Peter could carry
After that, Peter had nearls to sell on every
fourth night but he was -bligedto go to
the merchants every night to bring ava the
gold, which he concealed in the garden on
| the roof
And so Peter kept on until he became very
wealthy. Great heaps of glittering gold lay
buried in the garden. But it was Of little ad-
vantage to Peter, for he could make no use
Of it, being obliged to keep it concealed from
the cobbler and his wife, who would take it
away from him, but would also have made him
give to them the silver hoe and the peas.
In the meantime, it was rumored in the
streets that an enemy of the king was coming
with great army TO attack the kingdom.
The kings Golfers were empty. He must
have money Immediately to enable him to equip
an expedition to send out against the enemy
or the country would be overrun with fire and
sword.
Peter heard it, and determined that the king
should have his gold. So he arose early one
morning, while the cobbler and his wife were
yet asleep, and journeyed toward the palace.
When he arrived at the palace gate, he was
stopped by the gatekeeper who rfused to allow
him to enter. nd Peter would not have been
admitted at all if the pearl merchant, who had
business with the king, had not Glanced to
come along at the time.
When he saw Peter he greeted him very
heartily and inquired after his health.
"I am very WELL" said Peter. "but 1 wish

ooh, Peter" cried the frog in the boat,
when he drew up at the garret window, you
think that you have no friends; but the old
Man in the Moon is your friend. Many night
has he looked down upon and pitied you; but
he has been greatly pleased with your industry
and your obedience. All, Peter! slight do you
lift the veil of the future, you would perhaps
think you had little cause to complain: But
l dare say you know so little that you do not
even know who 1 am"
No." said Peter. 81 do not,
II am the King OF the Frogs"
"Oh!" cried Peter in surprise, for he had
not before noticed the golden crown, and did
not suppose that he was in the presence OF
royalty.
81 have been out in my silver boat, looking
after the frogs in a river that was much
swollen by the recent rains. My silver palace
stands on an island in the midst OF a lake
whose waters are as clear as crystal, far away
in the moon. The moon is filled with the pal
aces of fairy kings, They are all constructed
of purest silver, and it is the reflection OF the
suns rays on their Furnished walls that makes
the silvery moonlight. 1t is very far away;
but my winged frogs fly SO swiftly that am
able to make the journey from the moon to the
earth in very short time indeed. / am
but l appear to you because l have package
for you from the Man in the Moon. You must
not open it until tomorrow night. Then climb
on the fiat roof of the house, and you will
there learn what is to be done with its con-

He handed Peter little package and bid
ding him goodnight, he and his winged frogs
disappeared 50 quickly that Peter could not
tell in. which direction he had gone
Peter looked at the package, that was small
even in his small hand and longed to open it
1t was well he did not do 80, for it would
have offended the Man in the Moon, and ht
would have caused the King of the Frogs tC
take it way again, or render its contents value
less to Peter.
He concealed it under a beam in darl
corner, where it would not be discovered by
the cobblers wife should she come into thu
garrett, as she often did.
There was door in the roof, and Peter, tn,

Certainly not,'' cried the gatekeeper. "For
what could the king wish to be bothered with
such ragged little lad"
He is more than he seems" cried the mer-
chant. "He deals in pearls Let him go in

cence. The king was seated at one end of
the apartment on his throne, clothed in purple,
while above his head hung a canopy of cloth
which, if it had been night, would have rem
dered the scene still more brilliant with their
multitude of lights reflected by the crystal PEN
dants of the candelabra with all the colors OF
the prism. When the merchant was through
with his business, an officer, who stood by
the king, inquired of Peter what his grievance
was

Peter
'What!" cried the king. "Do hear aright?"
"You do, indeed your majesty" said the
lad is dealer in pearls. l have paid him
great sums of money. He must be immensely
rich".
The king ordered out the royal chariot and
sent Peter and the merchant for the gold.
Great was the surprise of the cobbler and
his wife when they saw the royal chariot drive
up to their door, Peter and the merchant
alight, and enter the house, accompanied by
the men who had been sent along to carry
away the gold Greater still was their sur
prise when they saw them carrying down from
the roof great quantities of that precious
metal.
The expedition was fitted out, and marched
against the enemy, whom they defeated, and
Peter planted his peas in the royal gardens,
and became great favorite with the king.
| One night, a courtier, wishing to enrich him.
self, stole some of the peas and the silver hoe.
But in digging in his garden, he struck the
hoe, made from the delicate silver of the moon,
against stone ,and it flew into thousand
pieces.
With the hoe the charm was broken. The
vines no longer bore pearls but only peas.
Peter did not mourn over the loss of the hoe
for he was very wealthy and he prevailed up
on the king to spare the courtier, who would
otherwise have been hanged for his crime.
Peter grew to manhood and became the
founder Of a family, far-famed for wealth and
hospitality. The rich and wise never sat down
at his board without being profted by his
counsel, nor did the poor and friendless leave
his door without blessing his benevolence.
