AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair
White but She Was Cured by
Or. Williams, Pink Pills

Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which Is the cause of your
suffering. That is the message which
former victim Of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in its grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return WITH
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has q
beautiful home at 81 Boulevard
West, Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
my trouble began about six years
ago and l did not rest as l should
have, but kept up about my many
duties. After a time I became SO
weak l could not do any work at all.
l had severe backaches AMI such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top Of my head My eyes were
easily tired and at times I saw black
spots before them. consulted sew.
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.
II lost continually in weight and
strength and was almost in despair
when friend recommended DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. l tried them &C.
cording to directions and soon began
to feel relief. At the end of three
months had gained ten pounds in
weight and had no more trouble VITA
my nerves. I have been in perfect
health ever since and can heartily
commend DR.. williams Pink Pills"

from the wholesaler or manufacturer
and it will be sent to the purchaser
in as good condition and short time
as IL 1t had been ordered from a cata-
logue house. The home merchants
business must be kept up and In order
to do this II is absolutely necessary
that the people at home patronize
him and help him keep up with the
times, or else he will soon be out OF
the struggle for existence among the
country people.
The home merchant should not be
expected to pay the highest price for
produce and farm products and then
be turned down by the seller OF these
articles when he wants anything In
the merchants line. He should be the
first one to be consulted when the
farmer intends buying He should be
seen and arrangements made for the
purchase of the article, II he does not
carry 1t in stock
The home merchant advertises or
should advertise, in the home paper.
This keeps the home paper In the held
and helps the community along. The
people take the home paper because
It gives all the local news that they
cannot get any other way and thus the
advertisements of the merchants are
read by them. II the people do not
patronize the home merchant he can
not afford to advertise, and without
advertising a paper will soon prove
failure. Soon the home paper Is sent
to the wall for the want Of support
from the merchants; it may have
large circulation, but without the mer'
chants help it will soon be lost to
sight. Then the merchant Is next 70

support, and the town will decrease In
population, and the people will won
der what the trouble Is when the
editor and the merchant leave town
together.
The home merchant contributes to
the support of the church, he pays
his taxes to keep the schools up, he
contributes to the horse show, the fall
festival, and the hundred and one
things that he is supposed to help out
and give his support to. He Is at the
head Of the list for everything that Is
for the good of the community and he
deserves the honest and hearty CO
operation of all the people, all the
time, that are interested in the well
fare of the community In which they
live. The merchant helps to elect the
men that are to represent them in the
city, county, state and national az

fairs, and he Is ever on the go looking
to the interests Of the people.
The people like to be entertained
and they will come many miles to
some amusement given by the mer-
chants Of the town where they are
ever ready to go to sell their farm
products. The merchant cannot give
these entertainments unless he has
the support OF the people and 1t is not
fair to expect this of the men that are
striving for livelihood, when the peo-
pie send their money to a concern in
some far away city that will neither
contribute to any of these enterprises
or take an interest In the surround
ings thereof.
Home trading makes home indus.

keeps them there, and 1t helps to build
up the place. But the town will be at
a stand-still 30 long as the people per

merchants of the right to live and do
business among them.
II the people will keep their money
at home there will be no need for
complaint. The place will assume a
lively air, 1t will take on a metropoli-
tan look. and the people will say to
their neighbor that business Is good,
and 1t will be, as long as the people
continue to trade in the home mar
kets. The least that person can do
toward the betterment of the COM
munity and his own interests, is to
keep the money at home and see to it
that 1t Is put where 1t Is most needed
and wanted.
This should be vital question to
all concerned in the welfare OF his
community and 1t should be an estab-
lished rule that one should not seek
for things in other parts that he can
get at home.

Disease Puzzles Doctors.

A mysterious disease is troubling
the Dutch medical profession. 1t has
broken out In the district of Ouddorp,
not far from Utrecht, and Prof.
Spronck, Of Utrecht, after all the best
efforts he can devise, has had to con-
fess himself perplexed. The disease
is contagious affection of the heart,
and the patients invariably develop
high fever. There have been more
than 100 cases. Prof. Spronck has
made careful anlysis Of blood taken
from patients, but has utterly failed
to find cause or an origin for the
epidemic.

COME POINTS ABOUT NEEDLES.
The Evolved Product Of Centuries Of
Invention.

The point of a needle is a very i'm
portant part OF that useful little in
strument, and there are many points
about needles calculated to interest
the general public. The daily con-
sumption of needles all over the world
Is something like 100000, while
every year the women of the United
States break, lose and use some 300,-
100000 of those tiny tools. Few peo-
pie while threading a needle have
ever given a thought to the various
processes through which the wire
must pass before 1t comes out a
needle. Yet the manufacture Of
needles includes some 81 different
processes from cutting the wire and
threading the double needles by the
eyes to separating the two needles on
the one length of wire, heading, hard
ening in oil, cleaning out the sides Of
the eye, point-setting and final pol
ishing. For wrapping purple paper is
used, since II prevents rusting. There
are many sorts of needles, for sur
seons', cooks, glovemakers', weavers',
sailmakers', broommakers', milliners'
and dressmakers' use. The needle is
the evolved product OF centuries of
invention. In its primitive form it
was made of bone, ivory, or wood.
Point by point its manufacture has
improved, until this little but not in
significant instrument is now one OF
the highly-fnished products Of TWEEN

GOOD REASONS WHY THEY DE-
SERVE YOUR SUPPORT.
MEANS MUCH TO COMMUNITY
He Is at the Head Of the Things
That Are Good Cor the
Town and Your

Copyright by Alfred c. Clark.)
The above head is subject that
can well be treated as open for dis
cussion and consideration at any and
all times. 1t 10 also subject that
should interest all persons who have
at heart the welfare of the community
In which he lives and who wishes to
see 1t grow and prosper.
No person can afford to do what he
knows will work an injury to the COM
munity in which he lives. In justice
port to the home industries that are
striving for existence and the welfare
OF the town in which he goes to do his
trading.
In considering this question 1t
should be borne in mind that the coun-
try people, like all other American
citizens, are always on the lookout for
place to invest their money that
will bring them the biggest returns
for the least expenditure; in this they
are right and are justified in so doing,
but, at the same time they should re-
member that they are dependent on
the home merchant for the money that
they send to foreign markets.
II they should stop to think how
these catalogue houses are operated,
ard look into, and know, the true con-
dition of affairs, probably they would
reconsider the stand they had taken
toward them. In many cases the peo-
nla AFRO ignorant ~ tho true c,,rroupd H.
ings and inside operations of these
concerns and think they are doing
right In sending them their money.
They are led to believe that what they
get from the catalogue house is the
same article that the home merchant
sells, only at much lower price. The
majority of the people do not know
bat they are buying the cheapest
rticle that can be manufactured and

orlnln OF "Helnmeet.n

"Helpmeet" has had curious his
tory which began with the biblical
account of the creation, when the
Lord God said, 1t is not good that
the man should be alone; will make
HIM an help meet for him." That is
to say, a fit assistant. But the two
words hove become curiously combin-
ed into a "helpmeet." and they are
constantly used as one. Moreover,
the confusion is increased by the cor
ruption OF the words into "help-mate,"
and Macaulay writes OF the waiting
woman who was generally consider
ed as the most suitable help mate for
parson."

that they are In reality paying more
for an inferior grade Of goods than
those sold by the home merchant,
which probably cost them q few cents
more.
Since the catalogue house has
sprung into the commercial world and
begun operations In the United States,
all kinds of schemes have been tried
and worked to get the money from
the people that are always looking for
bargains. No expense has been spared
in their struggle for the almighty dol
lar OF the country people, and they
have been so far successful. at the
great expense of the home town of the
people that sent their money to these
concerns.
Magazines have been started for
the sole benefit of the catalogue house,
and these circulated among the coun-
try people at ten or Is cents a year.
They build up q circulation on this
low price of hundreds OF thousands;
this circulation brings to them mil
lions of dollars in advertising from the
catalogue houses and this money ex-
pended for advertising Is more than
doubled from the sales Of these con-
Germs to the country people who are
losers by the transaction.
Catalogues are sent out telling the
people that the house from which they
came Is the cheapest place in the
country to buy, and 1t Is. II the person
receiving this catalogue wants a cheap
article, not only in price. but also in
make and material. The farmer re-
ceives this catalogue, looks 1t over,
and after reading the well composed
guarantee or assurance that the goods
described in 1t are the very best that
can be found anywhere, sends In an
order. The house receives the order
and Immediately ships the articles
wanted. The farmer drives many
miles to get them and when the box is
opened 1t is found to contain some
thing much below his expectations,
but this does not satisfy his mind on
the fact that he has been duped and
that he is not getting his full money
value. In a second order he may be
treated the same as the first one, but
still he may think that he has saved
money by buying 1t where he could
get 1t cheap.
At the same time the merchant at
home has the goods on the shelf In
his store waiting for them to be taken
away 90 that he can replace them with
newer goods, thereby keeping his
stock fresh and up-to-date. II he has

81 am not feeling very WE'LL" II
am so nervous it seems as though 1
should fly." MY back aches as though
it would break"
How often do you hear these signi-
flcant expressions from WON n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
e. Pinkham of Lynn. Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. 'Woman's llls,"
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits, reluctance to-
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplcssness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane of woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered remedy. Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for greater number of
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives OF
suffering women.
Don't try to endure, but cure the
cause of all your suffering. Lydia T..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. The
following letters prove this:
