of economy, in moment of reckless
extravaganza she'll buy a lot of dear,
delightful things, have her fingers
nanicured, her hair shampooed and
take fascinating trips here and there.
And then when her conscience will

much it COSTS" And Bobbie's wife
won't, either. She'll spend joyously

A nervous, irritable mother, often OF
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins a child's disposi.
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration. ner.
vous dependency, " the blues," Sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some deraneement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits Of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute YOU
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing-down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
1t SO, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
tion than Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.

he is big man; in his prime he must
have been immense. White hair and

surmounted by the Turkish tarboosh;
kindly eyes, dulled a little by age,

talks about things which interest him;

Use of Amber Combs.

Probably the newest decoration for
the hair is the use of amber combs Of
all descriptions. Very light amber for
very dark hair, dark amber for very
light blonde hair, always seeking as
great contrast as possible. Further.
more, as to the style of the combs, all
of them have the olive shaped tops. A
large comb Is used in the back with
at least two side combs. Since the
run on gold-mounted combs, and the
consequently cheapening of the style
has come about, the beautiful trans
lucent amber comes as a welcome
change, and it is universally becoming
not only to blondes, but to brunettes.

as much pulp as possible without

the pieces into strips of even width,
sewing the ends together firmly. Roll |

of Oklahoma

Bigger than Missouri; as big as Ohio anc
Indiana combined, with a soil teeming with
all the crops that any State raises.
OKLAIOMA-the new State-is destined
to occupy first rank in few short years.
Here at the present time over million
people are duplicating the life which is
going on in illinois and Indiana. Their
houses, their towns and their schools are
newer but in nothing else do their sur
roundings differ from those in our States.
Their cities and towns are growing and ex'
panding with the impetus of fertile soil.
and a pushing. wide-awake citizenship.
Her settlers, mainly from the older States
see the virtue Of encouraging enterprises OF
every kind and the needfulness Of getting
more and better facilities: of getting more
hands to develop the country.
In brief. conditions to-day are simply
these: OKLAHOMA is in need Of nothing
save people. More men are needed in the
cities and towns: more farmers for the vast
areas of unimproved land not now yielding
crops Of which it is capable. There are
openings of all sorts, for farmers end
artisans, for mills and manufacturing
plants. for small stores Of Ill kinds.
