What Money Ii Doing.
COLORADO.

There are even ip these days good
many families In the United States
who ind II possible to do . certain
amount OF moderately high thinking
and still cultivate some of the graces
Of life. They may be obliged to live
simply. says Scribner's. and yet may
not need to use up all their vitality
in manual labor. True. they must
walk when Others ride, they must take
thought to their apparel. that 1t be
presentable at small cost. and when
they entertain their friends they must
& It simply. But they have time to
<ead books and they have money to
educate their children. Oftener than
not they are persons whose family
traditions incline them to fastidious-
1e1s In social matters. They and their
forebears haze been accustomed not
only to well-bred, but interesting peo-
pie and have kept in touch with what
Wa going on in the world: in short.
they have a taste for the best society.
twenty-five years ago there was NO
reason why they shouldn't maintain
their inherited or acquired right to 1t.
but the tendency on the part OF GER
tain Of their fellow citizens to what
has been characterized - ''the habit
Of getting rich" has changed all that.
1t Is not only that the accumulation
of colossal fortunes restricts the imam
cial chances of the moderately ambi.
tious majority, but it deprives them
Of some innocent and legitimate COM
forts and pleasures to which they
think themselves reasonably entitled.
by Increasing so tremendously the cost
Of living with the standard Of luxury
Is raised in proportion. This. to be
SURE. is an old cry. but to the impe-
cunious majority 1t does not cease to
be live issue.
Yet one cannot ind fault with the
people who have made money for
wapting to spend It; one cannot be
surprised II their ideas are crude and
II they fall to appreciate . refined sim
plicity. Most Of Us spend all the
money We can afford and We should
not thank anyone who should presume
to dictate to Us ~ to what We ought
to buy with 1t. The very rich do not
in the least intend to make life hard
for the rest Of the world. In fact,
from their kind-hearted desire to give
pleasure We get some singularly bad
results. such as. for instance, the poor
girl with rich tastes. who. although
she need not always b Lily Bart.
yet b always In an unnatural and de-
moraiising. position: and the young
man who goes to the dogs in his effort
to keep up the pace with his rich
mates.

They do not realize that the back is
the handspring of woman's organism,
and quickly indicates by aching a dis
eased condition of the female organs
or kidneys, and that the aches and
pains will continue until the cause is
removed.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has been for many years the
one and only effective remedy in such
cases. 1t speedily cures female and
kidney disorders and restores the fe-
male organs to healthy condition.
"I have suffered with female troubles for
over two years, suffering intense pain each
month, my back ached until it seemed as
though it would break, and felt so weak all
over that did not find strength to attend to
my work but had to stay in bed a large part
of the first two or three days every month.
I would have sleepless nights, bad dreams and
severe headaches. All this undermined nay
health.
''We consulted an old family physician, who
advised that try Lydia E. Pinkham'S Vege-
table Compound. began taking it regularly
and soon found that could sleep and eat
better than had done for months. Within
two months became regular and l no longer

Bad Symptoms.

The woman who has periodical head
aches, backache, sees imaginary dark
spots or specks floating or dancing before
her eyes, has gnawing distress or heavy
full feeling in stomach, faint spells, drag
ging- down feeling in lower abdominal OF
pelvic region, easily startled or excited,
irregular or painful periods, with or with.
out pelvic catarrh, is suffering from
weaknesses and arrangements that should
have early attention. Not all of above
symptoms are likely to be present in any
case at one time.
Neglected or badly treated and such
cases often run INTO maladies which de-
mand the surgeons knife if they do not
result fatally.
No medicine extant has such long
and numerous record of cures in such
cases as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion. No medicine has such strong
professional Endorsement of each of its
several ngredients-Worth more than any
number OF ordinary nOn-profeSSional teS
timonials. The very best ingredients
known to medical&cience for the cure of
woman's peculiar ailments enter into its
composition. No alcohol, harmful, or
habit-forming drug is to be found in the
Lat of its ingredients printed on each
bottle wrapper and attested under oath.
In any condition of the female system,
DR.. Pierce'S Eavorite Prescription can do
only good-neVer harm. Its whole effect
is to Strengthen invigorate and regulate
the whole female system and especially
the pelvic organs. When these are de-
ranged in function or affected by disease,
the stomach and other organs of digestion
become sympathetically deranged, the
nerves are weakened, and long list of
bad, unpleasant symptoms follow. Too
much must not be expected of this Fa-
vorite Prescription" It will not perform
miracles; will not cure tumors-no med
icine will. It G0iIL often preUe7it them, If
taken in time, and thus the operating
table and the surgeons knife may be
avoided.
Women suffering from diseases of long
standing, are invited to consult Doctor
