Guni.ChcwinU.

The combined efforts of all joke makers, teachers, doctors and parents have not been able to stop the habit of gum chewing in our young people. The slot ma chimes rattle as lively in deliver ing their tempting "wads," and the jaws of the chewers work as necessarily as though neither ridicule nor commands had ever been brought to bear against the habit. But now comes a protes- tant with a new appeal, in a letter to our New York namesake. This "horid habit, says the writer, is, in my estimation, so common and vulgar that I can scarcely allow myself to write about it. :" And then he proceeds to say that "the constant motion deforms the mouth, creats lines where they should not be and will assuredly affect the good looks of young people. If you value your appearance, stop chewing gum at once." This is a reason, and this appeal may possibly have some effect-particulary upon young girls who are victims of the gum habit. The deleter- ious effects of overstimul atine the flow of salvia, the wear upon the teeth and gums, the vulgarity of the habit when practiced ir public, may not deter the chew CTS; but once let them become convinced that it "deforms" the mouth, and "affects the good looks," and the dividends o1 gum makers will decrease.

MAKES WEAK WOMEN STRONG AND SICK WOMEN WELL.

Forty years ago, Dr. Pierce searched Ndture's laboratory for remedy with which to supplant the ignorant and vi- cious methods of treatment, with alco- holic stimulants, then in vogue, and still too commonly prescribed and advised for
 Nature abounds with most efficient rem edies, and in Lady's Slipper root, Black Cohosh root, Unicorn root, Blue Cohosh root and Golden Seal root, Dr. Pierce found medicinal properties, which when extracted and preserved by the uso of chemically pure glycerine, have proven most potent in making weak women strong and sick women we'll. It contains no alcohol; is not patent medicine, !" nor secret ono either.

Tho Prescription is strength ening and lnvlgorating and leSSenS pain and danger. It insures the perfect we'll being and the perfect health of both mother and child.

"Back to the Farm.V

To those who have tried the harsh experiences of the city, and in whose memories there fingers, perhaps as faith, idolized pictures, some vision of the old home in the country, the cry of ''Back to the farm!" represents hope. The tendency to rush to the city, remarks the Philadelphia Ledger, excites the amazement even of the one who at an earlier day had answered the same call. The city offers to certain men, tality a reward more gittering than the country holds, apolitical and social power of which the country has no knowledge. Nor does the country need to regret this. It has it's own rewards, and they are better than gold. More- over, the personal failure in the city is tragedy. Beggary haunts the crowded streets. Vice beckons into the shadows. The city toiler, to rise above the dead level where his fellows abide, has to be of extraordinary force of character; in application untiring, in deals, perhaps un- scrupulous, and he must be att tended by the goddess of good fortune. The usual life of the city laborer or wage earner is the barest. He cannot save money. There are few innocent pleasures upon which he can expend the it- tie he may have to spare above the price of rent and bread. Even fresh air and the clear light of the sun are luxuries denied. He may look upon splendors, but have no part in them; be aware of wealth, with small chance of attaining it. In the country there is no need to be rich in order to be independent. N There is no limit to the sunlight and the pure air. There is no danger of starving. The smallest farmer, if he exercises thrift, may live on food that the poor man in the city would dream about. The funny men of the newspapers joke grimly of the long hours the farmer must work, although they themselves are drudges. It is only at certain seasons that he needs to work longer than the creatures of wages sweating in the city, and he has the satis- faction of knowing that he is working for himself. No man, in city O. country, lives by himself. Each must maintain relations toward the rest of the world. But there is no other man, rich or poor, who is so nearly bis own master as the farmer.
