MRS. ELvA CARRIER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
svoman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from q
care free girl TO budding womanEood,
The second is motherhood, and tho
third is Change of Life.
Pcrils surround each of these stages,
md most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
pOrtant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Pinkhana's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons. two OF which
are here published. substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.
Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn,

MEN oUTMuMBER WOMEN

III most of the british colonies the men
outnumber the women very considerably.
In western Australia for example, taking
the Immigrant population. there are 5000
maics and only 1900 females. queensland
has tiftysiX men to every forty-four wom
en-, the Transvaal fty-fve men to every
forty-iive women, and the Orange River
colony lifty-four men TO every forty-sN
women. These figures refer to whites.
Turning to marriage and to all races. the
universally Of marriage in India is strik-
tngly brought out by the statistics. OF
every l.O,U males aged 10 and upward
there are unmarried in ireland. 4M: in
Scotland. 445; in England and Wales, 3a5,,
in western Australia :.3S; in India 40. The
contrast is very striking, even when al
lowing for the earlier age at which the
natives of India marry. One fact of in
tcTest is that Ireland is the country of old
men and women. Out OF every 1000 of the
populat ion of that country there are six
