Pink Pills are worth their weight in

her life will be a round of pain and suf.

absolutely the finest medicine that ever

but they are good in a special way
for women.
cit was three years ago last spring
that my health failed me-" says Mrs
Arthur Conklin, of No. 5 Coldwater
street, Battle Creek, Mich. 81 suffered
from leucorrh9a and other troubles
that, I presume, were caused by the
weakness it produced. I had sinking
spells, nervous headaches, was weak
and exhausted all the time and looked
like a walking skeleton.
"My back and limbs would ache al.
most continually and there were DAYS
when I was absolutely helpless from
sick headache. I tried one doctor after
another but cannot say that they helped
me at all. My liver was sluggish and
I was troubled some with consultation.
"One day a physician who has now
retired from practice met my husband
on the street and inquired about NV
health. He advised my husband to gel
some of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for me.
said they were a good medicine, better
for my trouble than he could put M. I
tried them, improved steadily and soon
was entirely cured. As o as the
leucorrhoea was cured the headaches
and other pains stopped. I am entirely
well now but intend to continue to use
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills as a spring
tonic"

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
SUFFER
From Constipation, Bowel and stom-
ach Trouble.

Q. What is the beginning of sickness?
A. Constipation.
@. What is Constipation?
A. Failure Of the bowels to carry off the
waste matter which lies in the alimentary
canal where it decays and poisons the en-
tire system. Eventually the results are
death under the name Of some other dis
ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever
and appendicitis, stomach and bowel trou-
Bile at the present time.
@. What causes Constipation?
A. Neglect to respond to the call of ma
ture promptly. Lack of exercise. Excess
sive brain work. Mental emotion and i'm
proper diet.
Q. What are the results of neglected Con-
stipation?
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. 1t causes rheu-
matism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel,
kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc. 1t
is the one disease that starts all others.
Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, loss of
sleep and strength are its symptoms-piles,
appendicitis and f~istula, are caused by
Constipation. Its consequences are known
to all physicians, but few sufferers realize
their condition until it is too late. Wom-
en become confirmed invalids as q result
of Constipation.
Q. Do physicians recognize this?
A. Yes. The first question your doctor
asks you is ARE you constipated?" That
is the secret.
Q. Can it be cured?
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics, such
as pills, salts, mineral water, castor oil, in
jections, etc., every one of which is in
furious. They weaken and increase the
malady. You know this by your own x
perience.
Q. What then should be done to cure it?
A. Get q bottle of Mulls Grape Tonic
at once. Mulps Grape Tonic will posi-
lively cure Constipation and Stomach
Trouble in the shortest space of time. No
other remedy has before been known to
cure Constipation positively and perma.
nently.
Q. What is Mull's Grape Tonic?
A. 1t is a Compound with 40 per cent.
Of the juice of Concord Grapes. 1t exerts
a peculiar strengthening, healing inhu-
eace upon the intestines, so that they can
do their work unaided. The process is
gradual, but sure. 1t is not a physic, but
it cures Constipation, Dysentery, Stomach
and Bowel Trouble. Having a rich, fruity
grape flavor, it is pleasant to take. As a
tonic it is unequalled, i~nsuring the system
against disease. 1t strengthens and builds
up waste tissue.
Q. Where can Mulrs Grape Tonic be
A. Your druggist sells it. The dollar
bottle contains nearly three times the so.
cent size.
Good for ailing children and nursing
mothers.
A free bottle to all who have never used
it because we know it will cure you.

HANDS OFF THE BUTTER.
No Necessity of Touching 1t During
ANY of the Processes of
Its Making.

In many of our farm homes people
work the butter with their hands.
This method is, however, objected to
by all scientific dairymen. In our
best creameries the butter is never
touched by the human hand. The
cream is churned, the buttermllk
rinsed off in the churn. 1t is then
ladle1 out and put on the mechanical
butter worker. where the wooden roll
ers go over it and where the salt is
worked into it by the wooden rollers.
1t is rolled into balls by the machine
I'M by wooden ladies is packed into
tubs or pushed into molds that cut it
into pound packages. The hand never
touches it. The objection to the hand
touching the butter is that moisture
Is always working out of the human
body, and there is always effete mat
ter with it. People that eat such but
ter, # they ever think Of 1t at all, must
object to the results. Also such nan
ding is more than likely to add to the
butter some form of vegetable life
that may develop in the body of the
butter. 1t is perfectly easy ON the
farm to wash the butter and work it
without touching it with the hands,
declares the Farmers Review. The
milk can be drawn out of the churn,
water poured in, the churn be given
two or three turns to rinse out the
bnttermilk, and that drawn off. The
butter may either be sailed in the
churn or placed on a butter worker
and there sailed. The wooden butter
worker will cost but a few dollars and
will last indefinitely. With 1t the but
ter can be worked in two or three
minutes. In fact. it is only necessary
to run the corrugated roller over the
butter two or three times. 1t can then
be packed into jars or can be packed
into wooden molds holding exactly a
pound. Even for use in the farm
house, the consumers will feel much
better If they know that the human
hands have never touched the butter
they are eating.

tant from 1t. These strips are nailed
on six inches apart, forming an open
rack into which the cow can insert
her nose for her coarse fodder.
The grain is fed IN a box 3b feet
long and one foot square, showed into
the stall from the feeding alley through
a hole 16 inches square cut through the
partition below the bottom Of the
feeding rack. The hole is up foul
inches from the floor and forces the
grain to the end Of the box nearest the
COW.
Partitions separate the stalls, which

The COW is tied with a rope, straI
or halter to a ring in the center of the
stall screwed into the eight-inch plank
forming the bottom of the rack.
The length of each stall is adjusted
to the particular COW that stands II
it. She is led into the stall, her heat

Invitations for a Pie Party were
sent out On triangular pieces of card

friends. When the guests arrived the
men were a%uctioned of by the host
who was exceedingly clever. The

tle." The bidding was fast and furious
until $4,000 beans brought the man tc
his purchaser. The coal dealer was
described as "the man we think about
when the snow flies" When all had
secured partners the ladies' were given
pieces of pie made from two pieces OF
paper pie plates tsuch as bakers use)
fastened together with ribbon. The
filing was a piece OF paper bearing the
words Cherry '.Mince," Apple
"Custard-" Whatever pie was desig-
mated the man had to give a recipe
for IL. while the lady made it in pan
tomime. This was most amusing. For
refreshments all kinds OF pie were
served, with, coffee and sandwiches.

is busy with the thoughts of "How
shall I make myself fall asleep" Take
the mind off the desired outcome ond
center it on directing bodily move
ments, inducing the bodily fatigue by
firing the muscles. 1t sounds as If it
would take forever, but 1t doesn't. Just
try it. The first time you feel as if you
would never be able to fall asleep
stretch yourself out while in bed, arms
above the head, muscles tense and
stretched to their utmost. Stiffen leg
and arm muscles and feel as much as
possible as you do when stretching in
the morning. Relax completely and try
again. Stretch the limbs in different
directions. For instance, put the arms
out in front. You will speedily find
yourself yawning comfortably and you
probably won't need to go through any
more exercises, being by now quite too
sleepy to do SO, but the other move
ments are equally good. Lie on your
back and pull the knees up. Inhale
deeply while doing this. While the
breath is retained stiffen and stretch
the muscles, making the body as tense
as possible. Now relax slowly and
thoroughly beginning with the muscles
Of the neck. arms and back; exhale at
the same time. 1t is usually the neck
that Is 80 tense and rigid that very
nervous people feel as if they were
holding their heads on by main force.
These stretching exercises will speedily
teach one how to relax ones hold on
ones own tense muscles, which is the
very first thing to learn for those who
suffer from insomnia.

THE WOMAN OF FORTY.
This Age Has Seemed an Appalling
One, But the Middle Of Things
the Best of All.

This title is more feared by women
than it deserves, says a writer in a
London periodical devoted to feminine
interests. The middles of things are
really the best if they could only rea-
lie 1t; beginnings and endings are full
of fear and dread. Still, when that
ominous number 40 is in sight, what
tremors 1t sends through the feminine
heart-40, and the best half of life
gone! .
Small wonder that so many make a
stand at IS and refuse to advance,
calling in science and art to aid in "re-
storing the edifce." The sweet wrin-
killed. old face, carrying its life's story,
is already as extinct as the Dodo.
Nature is a kindly mother and keeps
many compensations for her ugly
ducklings. Mind has a beauty all its
own.
The brainy woman must, however,
be clever enough to keep her brains
out OF sight if she wishes to be a So
cial success, and to remember at the
same time that pos meridian charms
will not be enhanced by untidy habits
of dress. She will do we'll to study the
rise and fall of the sieve as well as
that OF the Dutch republic. Never for
getting a dainty frili or furbelow or
any Of the little courtesies of life:
these are the qualities that bring her
smilingly through every social ordeal.
do not wish to belittle the average
woman minus charm and that saving
grace, a sense of humor; she is the
backbone of society, a canal as com
pared to a rushing, sparkling river. 1t
is the depths and unsupported shadows
that are so e%nthralling. The unknown
is always interesting. 1t is that very
quality of certainty about the average
woman that is SO appalling.
The one quality most desirable in a
woman in this restless twentieth cen
fury, and about the hardest to find, is
repose. 1t has been so drilled into us
in youth that idle hands find the in
evitaole mischief that few of us know
how to be idle without serious qualms
of conscience.
