NERVOUS DEBILITY
a Scranton Woman Tells How Or.
Williams Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Strono,

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
1t is characterized by mental depression,
fits of the ''blues," or melancholy, loss
OF energy and spirits. The patient eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that 1T is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy hes Ill toning up the nervous
system and there Is 10 medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DIR.
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane j. Davies, of No. 314 War
rem street, Scranton, Pa, says: "Some
years ago l became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became so debilitated that felt
wretched. Icould not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid i'll the morning as was when
went to bed. Ny head ached in the
morning and often there was pain in
my right side which was worse when
sat down. My nerves were on edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and l was generally miserable. Then /
decided TO try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, as my husband had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now / have no more
pain III my side, no more headaches,
sleep well and feel strong and able to
do my work"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men or
women who are slipping into hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the root
of all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt Of price, 90 cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DIR. Williams

PENNIES FOR A COLLEGE.
One Hundred Thousand Workers Each
Give Penny to Ruskin College.

The British trade unions had not in
their origin any direct concern with
education, says the Fortnightly Re-
view. But it is fact of no ordinary
significance that some of the leading
unions should be taking very great
interest in the higher education of the
workman.
For the last three years some 100,.
900 workingmen, members of the
Amalgamated Society of Engineers.
have made three levies Of one penny
each to help on the work of Ruskin
college at Oxford. This levy pro-
duces over $500 year, and by means
of it six engineers are maintained for
years course of study at the col
lege.
Smaller but substantial sums have
been contributed to the same institu-
ton by the London Society of Com
positors, by the Lanarkshire Miners
County Union, by the Amalgamated
Association of Beamers, Twisters and
Drawers. by the Derbyshire miners
and the Durham miners, while large
number of other societies appear
among the donors and subscribers.

seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-

In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days Il
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-

that her compound relieved and cured

them.
All this so far was done freely, with.

labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis strucl,

of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from

At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's

COAT OF PAINT SAVED BANK.
Clever Device Stopped Run That
Would Have Been Disastrous.

Runs on banks, as all the world
knows, are often stopped or restricted
"A the oldest ways.
A rich bank knew that a run was
10 set in on a certain Monday morn
ing-for II had been robbed of some
postage stamps on Saturday night.
and the robbery had been exaggerated
in The newspaper reports-and il this
run was not kept within reasonable
limits the bank would have to close
its "oors. IL had plenty OF money. but
not plenty OF cash. 1t needed "a hours
time.
Before sunrise on Monday morning
q man put fresh coat OF paint on the
front doors OF the bank, on the wall
panels, and on the counters. The re-
suit was that the people who made
the run on Monday made rather q
walk OF II. They wanted their money,
but they rushed no one. On the con-
trary, they came on with caution and
elaboration. So careful were they
lest they get paint on their clothes
that it took longer to pay of one OF
them than it would have taken or
dinarily to pay five.
This is one of many odd tricks
whereby. in a run, a bank has saved
itself from wreck.

NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair
Began to Fall Out-Wonderful Re-
suit from Cutcura Remedies.

About the latter part Of July my
whole body began to itch. did not
take much notice of it at first, but 1t
began to get worse all the time, and
then began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as / would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and 1t
was not long before l could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies. and !
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks l would take hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and
kept getting better, and by the time
l used four boxes of Cuticura / was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out. d. f. Blankenship, 319

The Stormy Euuinoxes.

The popular belief that storms are
more frequent about the time of the

ceives some slight degree of support
from the recent investigations of Eu-
ropean scientists" states an expert of

PROPER USES OF POWDER.
Protection to the Skin and a Means
of Natural Beauty.

There are women who do not believe
in the use OF powder. Why? Well,
they were not brought up" to use it,
and they hold to the biased opinion
that the habit is foolish and tawdry
and damaging to the cuticle." This
kind of reasoning went out of fashion
when ii was discovered that powder is
protection to the skin and a means
of natural beauty as well. To protect
the skin from the ravages of temper
ature means the preservation of nat
ural beauty-see?
Use a first-rate brand of powder.
Don't use the sort made pernicious by
minerals that fairly corrode the skin.
Get brand that is finely bolted and
has a disinfectant quality along with
a refreshing influence. Use plenty OF
it, but not too much.
Before you go into the weather put
cold cream on your face. Gently rub
the cream into the skin. Then wipe
the cream off-after which apply the
powder with a soft cloth or piece OF
chamois. The powder pun is good
thing to use when you want to re-
fresh the face. But when you are pre-
pairing it to fare into the weather, use
The cloth or chamois.
Always remove powder from the
face at night before you retire. You
can not wipe powder off with a damp
cloth, nor can you wash 1t off with
cold water. Give the face bath with
suds made of water and fine toilet
soap. Then rinse all the soap off the
cuticle.
The application of cold cream before
you retire is another story.-Chicago

ALASKAN CABLE is BUSY.
Line to Be pupIexed and 200 More
Miles Added.

Few people who have not been over
the ground have any conception OF the
wonderful development of Alaskan in
terests and trade. For instance, the
commercial receipts from the Alaskan
cable and telegraph lines for the
month Of July amounted to $4,000.
The rapid increase in the demands
upon the system will be met by the
government by duplexing the cable.
The cable ship Burnside, which Is
to install the duplexing apparatus at
the Alaskan end OF the cable, will
carry about 200 miles OF new cable
for the extension OF the service to
Ketchikan. This extension will be
effected by tapping the lines from Sit
ka to Juneau at Cape Fanshaw. From
that point a branch line will be ex.
tended down the Wrangel, then to
Hadley on Prince OF Wales island, and
then to Ketchikan, which is only 60
miles from Fort Simpson. the English
town which is to be the terminus of
the Grand Trunk and Pacific railroads.
1t is believed that this additional
200 miles of cable will largely increase
the cable receipts, as it taps coun-
try rich in mines, fishery and canning
industries and greatly In need of daily
communication with the United
States. 1t is expected that this new
line will be completed by November /.

judge Loves a Joke

Justice Dickey, of the New York
state supreme court, occasionally en-
livens proceedings with jocular re-
marks TO witnesses and lawyers, his
honor being careful generally that
the laugh is not on himself. The
other day, however, a young lawyer
turned the tables in clever fashion.
He had been laboring through an
opening address, when the court re-
marked, rudely: why don't you tell
us what this suit is about? You're
beginning at the end and going back
ward like a crab. | don't like crabs. -
This gave the young lawyer an open
ing. Remembering that Justice Dick.
ey lives in Newburgh, he retorted at
once: II don't like crabs, either. AS
matter of fact, | don't like any
crustacean, and since your honor has
opened the subject, permit me to say
that especially l don't like Holsters.
and more especially dislike them a
la Newburgh." The trial proceeded to
a conclusion without further refer
ence to matters outside the law and
the evidence.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Deep breathing will tend to decrease
the size of the abdomen.
The skin, especially that of the face
should be treated as the finest china
tenderly and delicately.
Before applying a poultice cover the
skin slightly with glycerin to prevent
any particles from adhering.
Don't torture your eyes, but humor
them, for If ill-treated they revenge
themselves by making formidable
wrinkles and crows feet.
Shoes that are too large sometimes
slip and cause the heel TO blister. TIC
prevent this fit the heel of the shoe
with piece of velvet.
If a finger has been pounded OF
crushed, plunge it into water as hot
as can be borne. This will relieve the
pain more quickly than anything else
One teaspoonful of glycerin to a
tablespoonful of boiling water taken
ten minutes before meals is said to be
a certain cure for indigestion.
For a bruise the best treatment is
an immediate application of hot TO
mentationss. After that, witch hazel
vinegar and hot water, or alcohol and
water, put on with a bandage and
often moistened.
The hands should be well massaged
every finger separately, with olive oil
every night. and soft suede gloves
two sizes too large should be worn
The tips of the fingers must be cut
out, and a small hole must be cut in
the palm.

Glass Candlesticks.

Glass candlesticks are much more
n demand now. The pressed glass
can be had at remarkably low prices,
while the cut glass is not prohibi.
tive in price. Many persons object
to touching any brass object, and
also dislike the labor of cleaning
brass. Glass is more desirable on
this account. and looks very pretty
upon the dining table, either with
or without shades.
1t is growing to be more and more
glass age. Glass shelves are used
in cabinets and china closets, and in
up-to-date bathrooms even the tub
is of heavy glass.
