you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gem
erative organs in woman is SO close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability spirits easily affected, so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps; pain in the abdominal
region and between the shoulders;
loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia; a
tendency to cry at the least provoca-
tion-all these point to nervous pros-
tration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering SO surely as Lydia
e. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. M. E. Shotwell, of 1903 Flatbush

EUROPE PRESERVED BY TRIFLE.
Vanity of Musa Kept Him From Lead
ing Moslems at Tours.


The most striking case in history
OF the importance of trifles is fur
nished by the story of Musa, the lead
er of the Moslem host which won
from Christendom in three and half
years dominions which it took the sol
diers of the cross twenty generations
to win back.
He had a red beard; this was a
trlfle. Musa, though a very great
general, was a very vain man, and
he dyed his beard black. This was
another trifie One of his captains
chaffed him on the subject and Musa
forthwith had him stripped and
scourged.
For this, at the very height of his
conquering career, he was recalled by
the caliph and disgraced. This made
it impossible for him to command the
Moslem army at the battle of Tours
on the issue of which, as all histor-
ians agree, the destinies of Europe
and perhaps of the whole human race
depended.
1t is almost certain that, If the
genius of Musa had replaced the in
competence of the half-dozen tribal
leaders, whose dissensions made vic
tory possible, the forces of Islam
would have joined hands from the
west to the east and inclosed Europe
in their grasp-Stray Stories.

1t was in this spirit that Mr.. Borg
lum designed the statues which are
to ornament the Belmont chapel. The
chapel is Gothic and may be describ-
ed as ornately simple.
You enter just back of the main
altar. To the right and left are two
tiers of angels, five angels on each
side. These are in the rich toned
limestone they call Frontenac.
Beyond these to the right and the
left about six feet from the floor stand
two statues, one of st. Peter and the
other of st. Paul. On the sides of
the altar are two tiers of saints.
From the top down on the right
these are ST. Athanasius, St Basil, st.
