A CURE FOR DEBILITY
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills A Reliable
Remedy for the Weak, AiIine
and BloodIeSs.

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless wasting illness has pre-
coded, or the sufferer happens to be a
girl on the verge of womanhood.
Obscure influences, something un-
healthful in ones surroundings OF work,
may lead to n slow impoverishment of
the blood and all enfeeblement of the
whole body. When serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it.
Mr. @. E. Legg, of Upton, W. Va,
has found q successful method Of treat
ing weakness and bloodlessness. He
says:
81 used DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
weakness caused by lingering malarial
fever that began in the spring of 1896.
The worst effects of this were indiges-
ton and bad state of my blood. Twas
anamic, as the doctors say. People
generally would say that 1 didn't have
blood enough, or that 1 didn't have the
right kind of blood mine was too thin
My kidneys and liver were out Of order
l was badly annoyed by sour risings
from my stomach. There was good
deal of pain, too, in my back and under
my right shoulder blade"
How long did these troubles last? -
'For over two years. For four
months of that time 1 was under the
care of a physician, but his medicine did
me no good. Meanwhile I learned of
the cures that had been wrought by DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
''You owe your cure to these pills p

they are helping others to whom have

merit and know Of nothing that would

Though our theme is the White

never lived at the White House, it
would be a sad omission to neglect
mention of the children that dwelt in
the home of our first president. Mrs
Washington's only son, John Parke
Curtis, died of camp fever before York
town, and his death left four children
fathe-iess. Gen. Washington adopted
the two youngest, Eleanor Parke Cur

the presidential home were gladdened

The Adamses were grandparents

James Madison Randolph, grandson of
President Jefferson, was the first child
BORE in the White House. Mrs. Ran
dolph had a goodly family, and the
one winter she spent at the executive
mansion, 1S05-e6, seven of her children
were with her.
Andrew Jackson's private secretary,
Maj. Donelson. was married to the
presidents adopted niece, and the cou-
pie lived with the lonely occupant of
the presidential mansion. Their four
children were born at the White House.
During the Van Buren, and William
Harrison administrations no children

presently a troop of them came, chill.

owing to the illness of Madam Tyler,
assumed the duties of mistress of the

The Lincolns were accompanied t.
Washington by their three sons, Rob

Tad. An article in the New York Sun
tells us: ''The first two years of the
administration the presidents chill

death of Willie occurred in February,
1862. On the evening of the 9Th pub

increase Of $3.50 policies and N.2o7,4g7 in
insurance
In the New York Life both lapses and
surrenders show apparent decreases from
the 1904 figures. S7i5 policies having been
Surrendered in 1905. as against 11,4i5 In
1904, the amounts Of Insurance represented
by each being s21.s25.555 in the former
year and 81, 9,949, 26S in the latter. Similarly

surance We're surrendered in 1905. as
against 2546 policies calling for S9O2,Sn
Of Insurance in 1904.
Inquiry in insurance circles brought out
the explanation that it has been the
practice Of the New York Life when a
policy which would otherwise lapse be-
cause Of the suspension of premium pay
ments TO give term insurance to the pol
icyholder for a period Of two months.
Thus when the policy is finally cancelled
it expires" rather than "lapses." If the
figures on expirations are taken into ac-
count it appears that 65.0SS policies rep
resenting SIZE. .6S6 460 in insurance expired
and lapsed in 1905. an increase Of 1O,S76
policies and Of S1S.254.4S in the amount Of
insurance expiring and lapsing in 1894.
President Paul Morton of the Equit-
able demonstrated recently that it was
the small policyholders. the man with a
contract calling for less than 5000 who
had been frightened out by the disclosures
and who was consequently the heavy
loser.

THE GENTLE SEX
The Latest is Hopping

Hopping" is the exercise prescribed

this hopping" is not a gymnastic ex-
ercise, as might be supposed, but
working IN the hop field.
In England the newest form of rest
cure for wearied society persons is
carried on in camp. Every day. in a
special enclosure, these "hoppers de
luxe" as they are called, may be seen
at work apparently enjoying it. In
fact, they assert that a weeks hop
ping" is far better and more pleasant
than a rest in Marienbad.
The tents of these well-to-do pickers
are extensively furnished, and easy
chairs, soft beds and up-to-date camp
ing outfits are among their hopping
appliances. Their field is rallied off
from the ordinary "hoppers," and they
do not rise so early or work so late.

Holsters. their hair wind blown and
tousled. and their shoes a disgrace to
a civilized community. Oh. ii is a

Good Stockings

The one thing in which a mother of
straitened means should try and avoid
economizing is stockings. No matter how
many rows Of insertion or how many
dainty tucks you put in your little girls
dress. If her ankles are not neatly clad,
the whole effect is spoiled. Cheap stock
ings are always poor economy. and not all
mothers seem to realize how prominent
and noticeable are these sturdy under
standings Of their children. A few years
ago there lived next door to me a family
in which were seven young people. They
were not well of. 1t is doubtful If the
two youngest little girls ever knew what
it was to have a dress bought from the
store expressly for them. But their feet
and legs were a delight to behold. SO
neatly clad that one never noticed the
carefully mended dresses above.-Moth.

Fried Corn is Good

sGreeh corn" says the Delineator.
when fried as the genuine colored
cooks Of Maryland and Virginia are
accustomed to cook it. is one of the
most enticing luncheon dishes imagin-
able. To prepare it, first cut some
strips Of fat bacon into dice and fry
them until they are very crisp, being
cautious, Of course. about letting them
burn.
When the fat has been thoroughly
extracted, remove the bacon and add
the corn, which must, in the meantime,
have been cut from the cob. Toss it
about lightly in the hot fat for a few
minutes, and then. after seasoning it
with salt and pepper. serve il with the
bits Of crisp bacon scattered over the
top. In preparing this dish it is not
necessary that the corn should be boil
ed expressly for this purpose, as the
left over corn is quite as delicious
when It is served in the same man
