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 a 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 a 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
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.
Miss Mills has written the two fol-
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which
will be read with interest: L

casting of the bell in the former there
is this legend: There had been two

a third failure. His daughter discov-

the blood of virgin mingled with

Plenty More!

Russell Sage was much opposed to
drinking. He would often rail with
homeIy and humorous wisdom against
drink.
Men drink he said one day to
broker, because they are happy, be-
cause they are sad because they are
too warm, because they are too cold.
Is there any logic in that?
when 1 see men drinking 1 think
of a little boy at the seashore.
This little boy, at play with his
bucket and shovel in the sand, sudd en-
ly ran to the edge of an advancing
wave, and, scooping up a handful of
salt water and foam, drank it greed
lily.
"'Oh, don't drink that said his
nurse. 1T will make you thirsty
"'What if it does?' said he. There's
plenty more.'"

Keeping Parents in subiectlon.

In the life of the very rich some
parents still seek to resemble those
curfews incarnate in humble life who
keep the girls at home and the boys
out of the barrooms. Middle life and
old age are too hidebound to get &C.
customed to the manners of the new
generation of young men who are old
and worn before they graduate and of
young women who win or lose large
sums at gambling. Children have a
right to expect from their parents do
cile obedience. At first this may be
difficult, but, as Aristotle says, ''Vir-
tue is a habit" and it can be acquired.

REMARKABLE LIFE OF MIsER.
Enslishman Hoarded Pennies and
Left Large Fortune to Queen.

John Camden Neild, whose magnifi-
cent bequest to Queen Victoria sup
piled the funds out of which the
prince consort built the present Bal
moral castle, deserves a place among
the great misers and was as remark
able man as any of them. He was
educated at Elton and Trinity college,
Cambridge, and was a barrister at
Lincoln's Inn. At the age of "a his
fathers death placed him in posses
sion of fortune of 9250,000, and
from that moment he became a con-
firmed miser.
Neild lived at Cheyne walk, Chel-
sea. His big house was so meanly
furnished that it did not even boast
of bed. Two old women, who did
his stoves, and black cat were his
sole companions. When he visited his
large estates in the Midlands, which
he did frequently, he generally walk
ed, unless he could get lift for moth
ing, and he was not even above tax
ing a gratuitous seat on a dung cart.
Sometimes he was compelled by the
weather to take a seat on the stage
coach. And there he would sit out
side, shivering and dripping-for he
never wore greatcoat-an object of
commiseration to his fellow paszen.

ling does on piece of silver.
Both stand for PURITY. In an

ed with the oats, and more than de-
lighted with the beautiful present in

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. 1t 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, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are of the pureGt
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.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
