HOW DEBILITY SHOWS
And Why Or. Williams Pink Pills
Are . Specific for Dangerous
Physical Declines.

The symptoms of general debility vary
according to the cause but weakness is
always present, tendency to perspire
and fatigue easily, ringing in the ears,
sometimes black spots passing before
the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakeful-
ness caused by inability to stop thinking,
and unrefreshing sleep. The cause of
the trouble may be some drain on the
system or it may be mental or physical
overwork, sometimes insufficient nutri-
ton due to digestive disturbance. In
the latter case there is generally loss of
appetite and coated tongue as well as
general languor and debility.
Miss Lula M. Metzger, a stenographer,
living at II Mill street, Watertown, N. Y,
suffered for over a year from general
debility. "It was caused by overstudy,"
she says, "and had no ambition, didn't
want to go anywhere, my food didn't
taste good, was run down, hfeless and
listless. took medicines but they failed
to help me. Finally friends recon-
mended DR.. Williams Pink Pills to my
mother and she got some for me. took
them for some time and was entirely
cured and have had no return Of the
trouble"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure debility
because they actually make new, red,
rich blood, and as the blood carries
nourishment to all the organs and tissues
of the body, nerves as well as muscles,
the new blood stimulates the organs to
do the work that nature expects of them
and normal health follows. Not only
is this treatment sufficient to cure dc.
bility but many severe nervous disorders
as well.

Americans and Marriage.

Carolyn Rapelyea, writing on Amer.
ican Complexities" in the current
number of Ainslee's, speaks especially
OF the American attitude toward mar.
riage. This she says is one of the
chief of our complexities. mo people
In the world" remarks the lady, "re
gard marriage SO romantically. More
over, our ideas of what are to be ex
pected in marriage are essentially un-
like foreign ideas. Here, as much
as anything else, lies the cause of so
many international failures" Miss
Rapelyea thinks the number Of d.
vorces In America does not necessar-
lily indicate that the number of un-
fortunate marriages is greater here
than elsewhere, but only that our
ideas Of what is to be endured are
different. But to understand this is
difficult, as 1t is also true that there
Is tendency for Americans to re-
gard the marriage ties as less per.
manently binding than do people in
Europe. They are more inclined to
break their VOWS and yet stay mar
ried; we to dissolve the marriage If
the vows are broken. We do not re-
gard the thing in the same way, and
in an international marriage such diff
ferences In point of view are exceed.
ingly dangerous. Viewed superb
cially, the American character and
American social life may seem simple,
easy to comprehend, yet they abound
in contradictions, are full of complex
tiles. Much that is clearly felt and
tacitly recognized has not yet been
defined. No wonder that we are a per-
petual, though fascinating, puzzle for
foreigners. We are sometimes puz-
zle even to ourselves"

First Flower Of Sprlnq.

snowdrop is the only garden flower
that we can count on year after year

"heart-shaped seal of green" sung by
Rossetti often appear before the last
snow has gone.
Luckily, even city families need not
be without snowdrops, for they have
been known to thrive in narrow pas

bulbous plants like the baking hot sun
of midsummer in order to ripen their
bulbs, but the snowdrop thrives best

Phonetic Spelling.

It is held creditable to spell In the
fashion of the photographers, but it is
really discreditable, If to defy law and
order is infamy, says d. w. Howells
In Harpers Magazine. A child Is
punished IL it obeys an instinct and
spells phonetically, but it ought to
be rewarded, and it's instructive or
biography reverently studied in the
hope of some hint for the ameliora-
tion of the abuse under which we all
suffer. The actual English spelling
does not spell anything, really; 1t is
a kind of picture writing in which GER
tain groups Of letters symbolic GER
tain sounds without representing
them. This difference between our
spelling and our speech is such that
the photographer finds h'e burden
divided between orthography and or
thoepy, and yet doubled in The fail
ure to show how the printed word
shall be spoken. For the literary
artist, who wishes to indicate dialect
variations, the system is worse than
useless; he must frame a convention
and trust the readers intelligence for
its acceptance before he can hope to
suggest the accents he has in mind.
Nothing worse could be said Of our
spelling than that it does not SPELL
that is quite enough to condemn 1t.
II 1t fulfilled it's office, one might not
repine at it's manifold difficulties; but
1t breaks down at the first step, and
at every step. 1t Is failure which
nothing but the immense powers of
the race whioe suffers it could re.
pair.
