III. WAY to Succeed.

Here ia a bit of advice that will go
as far as any that We ever paid for.
The only way to succeed IL to be sue
cessful. Doesn't sound very pro-
found, does iti It isn't. It's about
as simple as anything that has ever
been printed. and at first sight it may
appear idiotic. But there's 9 lot in
it. TIE man who succeeds is the
man who brings to successful ter
mlnation every minute undertaking
of every dave activity. the success
ful mans life ia made up Of q myriad
of successes. II you let one little
item Of your days work get BY you
without satisfying yourself that you
have done your best on it, you are
preparing for q failure. A million
treats on how to be successful will
not help you.
Toe trouble with too many Of rs il
that we are 70 busy trying 30 see g
great success in the future that we
can't see the chances for little sue
cesses under our noses. Heaven is
not reached at a single bound. and
neither i. success. The only way &c
succeed is to be successful. Its worth
thinking over.

II am sure he said, that we all want
to see laws enacted that will give a. square
deal to everybody-the same deal to the

wiped out that accusation of unfairness,
of favoritism towards the money power,
that is made against courts and the work

MRS LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one in a Thousand APP
proachesthis perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every oma
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this period
likely to become active and with a
hosto of nervous ~irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
b~ackaches, melancholia, dread of inn
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this great
change may be expected.
