Der of the society in this city. Be-

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance Of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they SO often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in q young girls life without
pain or Irregularities.
Hundreds Of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the

The Ideal Family Laxative.

Is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. It should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreths Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are Of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is laxative on the
market that is so carefully made.

I0O5-Year of Few Strikes.

According to data just published by
the Massachusetts, bureau of labor, the
year ending Sept. 80, 1905, was particu-
larly free from industrial disputes in that
State. There were but 15S labor contro-
versies, 1913 being strikes, , lockouts and
3 partaking of the nature of both a strike
and a lockout This number, as compared
with the disputes of 1903-1904 shows a
decrease of 40. The period was marked
by no large or general strike, and, on
the whole, the disputes We're Of minor inn
portance, and the number of disputes was
less than in any preceding year.
More dissension occurred in the textile
industry than in any other, the industrial
stOppages numbering 40, or about 20 per
cent of the entire number. The iphar-
monious state of affairs in the textile in
duStry was occasioned largely by the in
PRODUCTION of new machinery, the electric
warp-stop motion, together with the OPP
Grafton Of the 10-loom system, being the
primary causes of the greater number of
strikes.
The decreasing number of trade dis
putes is accounted for in a large measure
by the joint industrial agreement and the
more conservative attitude on the part of
trade union leaders in discouraging the
resort to strike unless found TO be abso.
lutely unavoidable. The sympathetic strike
in Massachusetts, it is said, is becoming
apparently weapon of the past.

"For more than Is years." he says,

and intestinal indigestion, gas forming
in stomach and bowels and giving me
great distress. These conditions were
undoubtedly due to the starchy food
ate, white bread, potatoes. ETC., and
didn't digest. I grew worse with time,
till 2 years ago, had an attack which
the doctor diagnosed as appendicitis.
When the surgeon operated on me,
however, 1t was found that my trouble
was ulcer of the pancreaS, instead OF
appendicitis.
"Since that time I have had sew
eral such attacks, suffering death, al
most. The last attack was about 8
months ago and 7 endured untold agon-
les.
'.The doctor then said that ! would
have to eat less starchy stuff, 30 | be-
gan the use Of Grape Nuts food, for 4

continued same with most gratifying
results. It has built me up wonder
fully. I gained 10 pounds in the first 8
weeks that I used Grape-Nuts, my gen.
eral health Is better than ever before,
my brain Is clearer and my nerves
stronger.
"For breakfast and dinner, each, L
