SELF CONTROL.

1t Is One of the PerfectlOns of the
 Gentleman.
 A gentleman is gentle, slow to sur mise evil, slow to take Offense and slower still to give it. A gentleman subdues his feelings and controls his speech. It is sometimes said of man that he can be gentleman if he wants to be-" but man who can be gentleman when he wants never wants to be anything else, says the Pittsburg Press.
 In the cultivation of courtesy self respect must play a prominent part We must never pass for more than the value we place upon ourselves. To re- spect others we must first respect our selves. Whittier said, Il felt that was in the world to do something, and I thought I must"
 One of the perfections of the gallant man lies in the supremacy of self con- trol. Herbert Spencer, speaking of this important attitude of man as moral being, said, Not to be impulsive, not to be spurred hither and thither by each desire that ill turn comes upper most, but to be self contained, self balanced, governed by the joint de- cision of the feelings ill council as sembled, before which every action calmly determined-that it is which education, moral education at least, strives to produce"

If her system is in a deranged condi- tion, or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, it is at this time likely to become active and, with a host of nervous irritations, make life a burden.
 At this time, also cancers and tumors are more liable to begin their destruc- tive work. Such warning symptoms as a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, dig ziness, headache, dread of impending evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, pal pitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, varia- ble appetite, weakness and inquietude are promptly needed by intelligent women who are approaching the period of life when woman's great change may be expected.
 We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound is the worlds great est remedy for women at this trying period.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound invigorates and strengthens the female organism, and builds up the weakened nervous system as no other medicine can.
 Mrs. A. E. G. Hyland, of Chester town, Md, in letter to Mrs. Pink ham, says:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 "I had been suffering with a displacement for years and was passing through the change of life. had good deal of soreness, dizzy spells, headaches, and was very nervous. wrote you for advice and commenced treat ment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as you directed, and l am happy to say that all those distressing symptoms left me, and I have passed safely through the change of life we'll woman."
 For special advice regarding this inn portant period women are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass She is daughter in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising sick women free of charge. Her advice is free and always helpful to ailing women.

"NO CURE, NO PAY."
How finders Jacobsen Sells Hyomei,
 the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh.

How finders Jacobsen Sells Hyomei,
 the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh.
 finders Jacobsen has an unusual offer to make to our readers, one that will be of the greatest value to many.
 For some years finders Jacobsen has been watching the results from the use of Hyomei,a treatment for catarrh that cures by breathing medicated air, absolutely without any stomach dos ing. The results have been so uni versally successful that he feels justi- fled in making a public offer to treat the worst case of catarrh in Stafford with the understanding that if Hyomei does not cure, the treatmept will cost absolutely nothing.
 People who have spe1t large sums with catarrh specialists, deriving but little benefit, or the many who have swallowed stomach remedies ill the vain hope of curing catarrh, have ex- perienced almost immediate relief from the use of Hyomei, while the continued treatment for 8 short time, has resulted in a complete and lasting cure.
 The regular Hoymei outfit costs only one dollar, and consists of neat pocket inhaler that can be carried in the purse or vest pocket, a medicine dropper, and bottle of Hyomei. If this is not enough for a cure, extra bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents. ... .......
 Anders Jacobsen positively guaran- tees cure, if Hyomei is used in ac- cordance with directions, or he will refund the money.
