LOOSE TEETH
Made Sound by Eating erape-Nuts.

Proper food nourishas every part of
the body, because Nature selects the
different materials from the food we
eat, to build bone, nerve, brain, mus

All we need is to eat the right kind
of food slowly, chewing it velour

Paint, in a certain sense, is a minor
matter, yet it gives beauty, healthful-

Fifty years ago painting was a serious
proposition, a luxury for the owners
of stately mansions who could afford
the expense of frequent renewals. To
day ready mixed paint is so cheap, so
good, and so universal that nc house
owner has an excuse for not keeping
his property we'll painted.

seeker after knowledge, ard above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 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 II
was common for mothers to make

and herbs, natures own remedies

urgent cases. BY tradition and eX-

Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained hat just as nature sc
%bountifully provides in the harvest

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for h
women of the whole world.
The Piukhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filling n gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
IL away freely. They hired n Job
printer TO run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi'
cine, now called Lydia Il. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Piukham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.

In 1877, by combined efforts the fam

that time the growth and success or
the enterprise were assured, until to-

tons of roots and herbs are used nnu

Lydia Il. PinlSham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done ii
herself.
During her long and eventful expe~
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful topre-
serve a record ofevery case h n came to

ton of information regarding the
treatment OF woman's ills, which for
authenticity ard accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the

With Lydia r. Pinkham worked her

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

The British trade unions had not in
their origin any direct concern with
education, says the F~ortnightly Re-
view. But it is a fact of no ordinary
significance that some of the leading
unions should be taking very great
interest in the higher edu ,aton of the
workman.
For the last three years some 100,-
600 w~orkingmen, 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 a year, and by means
of it six engineers are maintained for
a 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 Dcrbyshire miners
and the Durham miners, while a large
number of other societies appear
among the donors and subscribers.

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 a contrast as possible. Further.
more, as to the style of the combs. ali
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.

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurastheuia.
1t is characterized by mental depression,
hts of the ''blues," or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The PATIENTS ewes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that 1t is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. SomN of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies i'll tOning up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DIR.
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane j. Davies, of No. 314 War
Ten street, Scranton, Pa, says: "Some
years ago / became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became so debilitated that | felt
wretched. lcould not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid in the morning as / was when |
went to bed. My head ached in the
morning and often there was a pain in
my right side which was worse when |
sat down. My nerves were on edge all
che time, every little noise bothered me
and l was generally miserable. Then l
decided to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, as III husband had taken
chem with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now l have no more
pain i'll my side, no more headaches, 1
sleep well and feel strong and able to

Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men or

Roscoe Conkling was a capital boxer
and quite proud of his skill. One
evening after considerable banter he
induced Senator Chandler to put On
the gloves with him. He played with
Chandler for a few rounds, much to
the discontinue of the downeaster.
The latter bided his time and some
time later quietly brought a profes-
sional pugilist to dinner where Conk-
ling was a guest. In the course OF
the evening Mr.. Smith was induced
to engage in a boxing bout with Mr..
Conkling. The professional danced
around the senator, landing when and
where he wished, playing with him as
he would with a punching bag. The
elegant New York senator was dazeS,
overwhelmed, Inundated. crushed.
When he surrendered and called
enough, as he did at last, Senator
Chandler smiled blandly and presented
the pugilist in his true colors.
