and she is often the bread-winner OF
the family. Whether she is sick OF
well, whether it rains or shines, she
must get to her place of employment,
perform the duties exacted of her
smile and be agreeable.
Among this class the symptoms Of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part of the
stomach. In consequence of frequent
wetting of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss of appetite, until life is burden.
All these symptoms point to q de-
rangement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound.
Miss Abby F. Barrows, Jacksonville.
Athens Co., Ohio. tells what this great
medicine did for her She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham -
II feel it my duty to tell you the good
lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and Blood Purifier have done for me- Before
took them I was very nervous, had dun
headaches, pains In back, and periods were
irregular, I had been to several doctors, and
they did me no good.
''Your medicine has made mo well and
strong. I can do most any kind of work
without complaint, and my periods are all
right.
II am in better health than ever was,
and know it is all due to your remedies.
recommend your advice and medicine to all
who suffer-"
It is to such girls that Mrs. Pink
ham holds out a helping hand and ex-
tends cordial invitation to correspond
with her. She is daughter-in-law OF
Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five
years has been advising sick women
free of charge. Her long record Of
success in treating woman's ills makes
her letters of advice of untold value to
every ailing working girl. Address,

tn. Point of the Proverb.

The Point OF the ErOVSFUs
An cid preverb advises the shoe
maker to stick to his last. 1t means
thai man always succeeds best at
the business he knows. To the farmer
1t means, stick to your pillow; to the
blacksmith, stick to your forge; to the
pafHtef, stick to your brush. When we
make experiments out of our line they
are likely to prove expensive failures.
1t is amusing, however, to remark
hoy every one Of ms secretly thinks ne
could do some other fellows WORK pet-
ter than the other fellow himself. The
painter imagines he can make paint
better than the paint manufacturer;
the farmer thinks he can do job of
painting better. or at least cheaper
than the painter, and so on.
A farm hand in one Of Octave
Thanet's stories tells the Walking Del
egate of the Painters Union, ANY
body can slather painti1 and the old
line painter tells the paint salesman,
'None Of ysur ready made mixtures
for me; reckon l ought to know how
to mix paint"
The farm hand is wrong and the
PAINTER is wrong: Shoemaker, stick
to your last" The "fancy farmer
can farm, of course, but it is an ex-
peusive amusement. II it strikes him
as pleasant to grow strawberries at
fifty cents apiece, or to produce eggs
that cost him five dollars dozen, 1t
is n form Of amusement, to be sure, IL
he can afford it, but it's not farming.
IL a farmer likes to slosh around with
a paint brush and can afford the time
and expense of having a practical
painter do the job right pretty soon
afterward, it's a harmless form OF
amusement. If the painters customers
can afford to stand for paint that
comes off in half the time it should,
they have a perfect right to indulge
his harmless vanity about his skill In
paint making. But in none of these
cases does the shoemaker stick to his
last.
There is Just one class of men in
the werld that knows how to make
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing it right; and that is the paint
manufacturers-the makers of the
standard brands of ready-prepared
paints. The painter mixes paints; the
paint manufacturer grinds them to-
gether In a coed ready-prepared paint
every particle of one kind of pigment
is forced to join hands with particle
of another kind and every bit of solid
matter is forced, as 1t were, to open it's
mouth and drink in its share Of inseed
oil. That is the only way good paint
can be made. and IL the painter knew
how to do it he has nothing at hand to
do it with. A paint pot and paddle
are a poor substitute for power-mixers,
buhr-mflls and rolier-mills.
The man who owns building and
neglects to paint 1t as often as it needs
paint is only a degree more short
sighted than the one who tries to do
his own painting or allows the painter
to mix his paint for him. P. G.. =

ECZEMA AFFLICTs FAMILY.
Father and Five Children Suffered For
Two Years With Terrible Eczema
Wonderful Cure by Cuticura.

my husband and five children were all
afflicted with eczema. They had it two
years. We used all the home remedies
we could hear of, without any relief, and
then went to physician and got medicine
two different times, and it got worse. 1t
affected us all over except head and hands.
We saw Cuticura Remedies advertised and
concluded to try them. So sent for $l.00
worth, consisting of one cake of Cuticura
Soap, one box of Ointment and one vial of
Pills, and we commenced to use them. l
do not know how to express my Joy in
finding a cure, for two of my children

scars on their bodies where they were
sore. Mrs. Maggie B. Hill, Stevens, Ma

His Eloquent Tribute to a Speaker
Who Had Forgotten His
Lines.

The Observation-Disclosures OF distin-
guished men. however much II may
be source of annoyance to them
selves, serves to furnish the public
with entertainment. Many venerable
anecdotes still in circulation, plain
and with variations, are based on this
weakness of men of genius. The oft
told story of the man who forgets
his own name is one OF them; 1t is
told of many famous personages, and
doubtless of more than one of them
with truth. Josiah Quincy, president
of Harvard College. is one of the num-
Der, relates Yotth's Companion. OF
him the accepted form is that he could
not recall who he was for the in

him TO leave his name for another
