u may Somctlmes BE Effective Though Welded
by Those Adjudsed to be incompetent
Somebody in San Francisco, it is
said, is willing to give New Orleans
woman $4,000 for her girl baby. The
man whose wife yearns for the little
one is said to be very rich. The wo-
man whose child is coveted is widow,
very poor. living in two rooms and
supporting herself and child by drudg.

exclaims, "for that child to be adopt.

How lucky she would be to have no

world! By the renunciation-aban.
ment-of her mother, she would gain
wealth, luxury, culture, refinement

poverty she would have few advant-
ages, many hardships and doubtless
great temptations. Surely q loving
mother could not hesitate when the
creature dearest TO her in all the world
has go much to gain, and that child SO
much to lose. if the offer be rejected.
And see what the mother would gain
too, competence for life."
Is this true? If money and social
position, and luxury and education,
were the chief things to be desired,
then the mother is in error, according
to my opinion.
But peehaps there is another side to
the question.
Who is the proper and best guardian
OF q childi
Why, her mother. One cannot owe r.
come the argument on so self.evident
. proposition. Can the wisest, most
loving, most indulgent foster.mother

an unmixed evil that q child would

qualities that make for success. pov.

ment. but will rather prove spur to
ambition and industry, whereas, if
wealth be the child's birthright, a
great incentive to ambition will be
lacking.
The men and women who have done
most for the world have been those
for whom the world seemed to do the
least.
A mothers love may be trusted with
safety to do what is best for her child,

Queer WAY to Catch Birds.

"I saw what certainly. seems to me
the oueerest way to catch birds when
| was in Siwanganga, in India, last
year" said traveller, "a native sat
behind bushes in which were con-
cealed number of nets, one smaller
than the other, and the smallest one
hung with snoods of horsehair. The
man was initiating bird calls and do
ing it very well indeed-so well that
the birds were fluttering from all
points to see wat was going on.
But, good as his limitations were,
they were not good enough to lure
the birds into the nets. They merely
fitted around just in front of the CON
cealed hunter, and l wondered what
he would do. The answer came in the
shape of a zebu, which appeared sud
denly out of the bushes and headed
straight toward the birds, which in
their haste to get out of the way
darted into the bushes where the nets
were spread. Then l saw that the
zebu was being driven by another ma
tive, and they told me that the animal
often drove as many as half hundred
birds into the net at once"

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
SUFFER
From Constipation, Bowel and Stomach
Trouble.
@. What is the beginning of sickness9
A. Consultation.

@. What is the beginning of sickness?
A. Constipation.
o. What is Constipation
A. Failure of the bowels to carry off the
waste matter which lies in the alimentary
canal where it decays and polsons the en-
tire system. Eventually the results are
death under the name of some other dis
ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever
and. appendicitis, stomach and bowel
trouble at the present time.
o. What causes Constipation?
A. Neglect to respond to the call of ma.
ture promptly, Lack of exercise. Excess
sive brain work Mental emotion and i'm
proper diet.
0. What are the results of neglected
Constipation!
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. 1t causes rheu-
matism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel,
kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc. 1t is
the one disease that starts all others.
Indigestion, dyspepsia, dtarrhoea, loss OF
sleep and strength are its mptons-piles,
appendicitis and fistula, are caused by
Constipation. It's consequences are known
to all physicians, but few sufferers realize
their condition until it is too late. Women
become confirmed invalidS as q result OF
Constipation.
O. Do physicians recognize this2
A. Yes. The first question your doctor
asks you is "are you constipated!" That
is the secret.
Q. Can it be curedl
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics, such
as pills, salts, mineral water, castor OIL in
iections, etc, every one of which is in
furious. They weaken and increase the
malady. You know this by your own eX-
perience.
O. What then should be done to cure it,
A. Get a bottle of Mulls Grape Tonic at
once. Mulls Grape Tonic will positively
cure Constipation and Stomach Trouble in
the shortest space of time. No other
remedy has before been known to cure
Constipation positively and permanently.
O. What is MulPs Grape Tonic'
A. 1t is Compound with 40 per cent. of
the Juice of Concord Grapes. 1t eXerts
peculiar strengthening, healing influence
upon the intestines, so that they can do
their work unaided. The process is gradual,
but sure. : 1t is not a physic, but it cures
Consultation, Dysentery, Stomach and
Bowel Trouble. Having rich, fruity
grape flavor, it is pleasant to take. AS
tonic it is unequalled, insuring the system
against disease. 1t strengthens and builds
up waste tissue.
Q. Where can Mulls Grape Tonic be
hadl
A. Your druggist sells it. The dollar
bottle contains nearly three times the 90
cent size.
Good for ailing children and nursing
mothers.
A free bottle to all who have never used
it because we know it will cure you.

For ForetelIing Weather.

The weather forecaster has new
instrument which tells the amount OF
aqueous vapor in approaching winds.
The old wet and dry bulb thermom-
eters have proven entirely unreliable,
so that accurate observation has re-
CURED apparatus too elaborate for Or
binary use. The new "aquameter," a
simple instrument. therefore fills an
urgent need. The opening ana shut
tings of two taps and raising and low
ering of mercury reservoir draw
measured quantity of air into glass
vessel, and as this comes in contact
with anhydrous phosphoric acid the
water is quickly absorbed, causing the
mercury to rise in narrow glass stem
to a point showing the exact percent
age of aqueous vapor in the air.

Since this is the season of toy CIV

Grace Peckham Murray, from the De-
lineator, have a special interest:
"The tendency of the present time
is to overload children with toys. Far
from being help to child, this de-
frauds him. He should not have
surfeit of any of his senses. Toys can
be made the means of great develop
ment. They should be such as Will
aid the imagination and stimulate the
inventive faculty. The imagination
of the child is his most precious rae
ulty. I cannot lament with recent
child of to-day, who would rather have
a piece of machinery or an electrical
toy that he can pull to pieces and put
together again than old-fashioned
playthings. Rather one should rejoice
that the brain activity OF children ex-
pends itself on that which is useful

that which will be useful to them all
their. lives, Then there will not be
need of so much examining at school,

OPEN PUBLICITY THE BEST
GUARANTY OF MERIT.

When the maker OF a medicine, SOLD
through druggists for family use, takes
his patients fully into his confidence by
frankly and fearlessIy publishing broad
a full list of all its ingredients IN plain
English, this action on his part is the
best possible evidence that he Is not
afraid to have the search light OF inves-
tigation turned full upon his formula
and that it will bear the fullest scrutiny
and the most thorough investigation.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the
cure of the weaknesses, periodical pains
and functional arrangements of the or
gans distinctly feminine, is the only medl-
cine put up for sale through druggists Tor
Woman's special use, the maker OF which
is not afraid to take his patients into
his full confidence by such open and
honest publicity.
A glance at the published ingredients
on each bottle wrapper, will show that II
is made wholly from native, American,
medicinal roots, that it contains no pol
sonous or habit-forming drugs, no mar,
cotics and no alcohol-pure, triple-reflned
glycerine, of proper strength being used
Instead Of the commonly employed alco'
hol, both for extracting and preserving
the active medicinal properties found In
the roots of the American forest plants
employed. 1t is the only medicine 1or
gists, that does not contain large per-
centage of alcohol, which is in the long
run so harmful to woman's delicate, merry
GUS system. Now, glycerine is perfectly
harmless, and serves a valuable purpose
by possessing intrinsic value all its own,
and besides it enhances the curative
effect of the other ingredients entering
into the uFavorite Prescription"
Some of the ablest medical writer's and
teachers endorse these views and praise
ali the several ingredients of which oFa-
vorite Prescription )" is composed = rec
ommending them for the cure OF the
very same diseases for which this world
famed medicine is advised. No other
medicine for women has any such pro
fessional endorsement-worthm more than
any number of ordinary testimonials. II

r. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, for his little
