Women at Strenuous Tasks.

On the western coast of the United
States, at Monterey, Cal, Mrs. Fish
keeps the lamps lighted in the Point
Pinas lighthouse. On the eastern
coast, at South Portland, Me-, Mrs.
Gordon earns her living by working
as a deep-sea diver. S~prinkled over
the country between these two wom-
en- are thousands of other members
of the female sex who deserve to be
enrolled as auxiliaries to Mr.. Kip
ling's corps of "Unafraid Gentle
men," And then. from the woman in
Utah who is sheriff and hangs MUIR
derers, to the woman in Chicago who
bosses a gang of Italian street clean
ers, he tells the role of women who
are engaged in strenuous occupations
in the United States. Wherever man
has tried to wrest a living from UNI
willing nature there woman has also
left the impress of her daring ex.
ploits.-Technical World.

American Invasion Of Canada.

Within the last IL years there has
grown up in western Canada an
American population estimated at
100000 farmers, growers OF wheat,
corn and flax, settlers not only imbued
with the American spirit of enterprise
but devoted to American institutions.
During last year the immigration
from this country to Canada, accord
ing to official figures, was more than
$4,000 persons. To-day in the north
west, outside of Winnipeg and some
of the older towns, the jewellers who
have crossed the border from the
United States outnumber the native
Canadians, in places, two to one

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women

lead TO Il serious arrangement of the
whole female organism.

in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham
that Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound overcomes woman's special
pains and irregularities.
1t provides n safe and sure way of
escape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.

THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED
THE TONIC TREATMENT.
This Woman Took DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and
Has Been Well Ever Since.

How many women-and men too
are suffering from a general decline il
health which the ordinary remedie
seem unable to check! How many hus
bands see their wives wasting away
steadily losing health and beauty, ant
are powerless > to ahelp! Consumption
and other germ diseases find in these
debilitated systems easy prey, for the
lowered vitality is unequal to the task
of fighting off the infection of these
diseases to which most of us are al.
most daily exposed.
The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results so fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Manley, of
90 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
is a typical one. She says.
"For six months after the birth Of
my baby, I suffered from sick, dizzy
! headaches, which seemed like a rush of
blood to my forehead, just back of my
eyes. Some days they twitched so I
could hardly see and black spots foated
before them. The least exertion brought
on this sickness. My appetite was pc or
and I was often sick to my stomach.
elf I tried to work my feet soon be-
came swollen, paining me terribly. I
had sinking spells and grew pale and
nervous. I was so thin that I weighed
only 95 pounds.
zone day when at the drug store to
get headache powders I decided to try
DIR. Williams Pink Pills instead. I
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me a
hearty appetite and I now weigh over
$50 pounds. I believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder a woman can
take, as they certainly helped me when
my condition was critical and I have
never been seriously i'll SINCE
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
IF you are i'll and the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for
proof of what DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have done in similar cases.
Your druggist sells them or they will
be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of
price, so cents per box, six boxes for

PUNAHOU STUDENTS
WILL REVIVE MAY DAY

The May Day pageant to be giver
next week on the grounds of Oahl
College is growing in interest and at.
tractiveness. To call from the pas
the spirit of the great Elizabethar
festival is no slight undertaking, OF
unambitious attempt.
The first of May was in the olden
time one of the most delightful of holi-
days. Regarding it Philip Stubbes
quantity tells us: Against May, ev-
cry parish, town and village assemble
themselves together, with men, women
and children, old and young, even all
gether, or dividing themselves into
companies, they go, some to the woods
and groves. some to the hills and
mountains, some to me place, some to
another, where they spend all the
nights in pastimes; and in the morning
they return, bringing with them birch
boughs and branches of trees to deck
their assemblies withal. But their
chiefest jewel they bring from hence
is their May pole, which they bring
home with great veneration, as thus:
They have twenty or forty yoke OF
oxen, every TX having a sweet nosegay
Of flowers tied on the tip of his horns,
and these oxen draw home this pole,
which is covered all over with flowers
and herbs, bound round about with
strings, from the top to the bottom,
n sometime painted with variable
colors, with two or three hundred men,
women and children following it with
great devotion. And thus being reared
up, with handkerchiefs and flags
streaming on the top, they strew the
ground about, bind green boughs about
it, set up summer halls, arbors, bowers
hard by it. And then they fall to
banquet and feast, to leap and dance
about it, as the heather people did at
the dedication of their idols, whereof
this is a perfect pattern, OF rather the
thing itself"
III 1t 10 III tLLOAL VI L 1dAt oNo-
dents to revive next Wednesday as ac-
curately as possible. The bedecked
May pole is to be drawn by ~garlanded
oxen, whose nosegays must match the
color worn by the Lady of May: and,
when set in place, is to be surrounded
by merry, dancing little maidens. To
old music are the Morris-dances to be
given. The costumes of the time of
good Queen Bess are everywhere Il
appear. Robin Hoods band is proIni-
nent in the pageant, as well as the In
dispensable hobby-horse, and the
chimney-sweeps that have perhaps lin
gered longer than any feature Of the
gay occasion. At different parts of the
grounds are to be given selections of
old plays. Scenes from" A Midsum-
mer Nights Dream" are to be seen
here; "Pyramus and Thisbe' are to be
given there. From various points is
to be heard music appropriate to the
occasion.
The spectacle will be varied, pleasing
and instructive.

In the past week fifty-one dairies were
inspected, fifteen were ordered to clean
up, four We're told to whitewash,
twenty-one samples of milk were col

why they should not be forbidden to
sell milk for violation of rules.
