AFRAID OF PARALYSIS
A NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED
BY Or. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red
Blood and Performs Wonders as a
Tonic for the Nerves.

Tonic for tho Nerves.
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why a remedy that acts on the blood
cal cure nervous troubles.
1t explains why DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
It is because of the intimate relation
between the 2ed corpuscles in the blood
and the health of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishment
through the blood. Let the blood be.
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are ~starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale p~eople-but the
pallOr comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part of the work of the
body. DR.. Williams Pink Pills make
red blood and transform nervous, irrit-
able, ailing people into strong, energetic,
fOrceful men and women.
Mrs. Harriet E. Porter, Of 20 Liberty
avenue, South Medford, Mass, says:
81 had never been well from child
hood and a few years ago I began to
have dizzy spells. At such times I could
not walk straight. I was afraid of
paralysis and was on the verge of
nervous prostration. Then neuralgia
set in and affected the side of my face.
The pains in my forehead were excru-
ciating and my heart panied me so that
my doctor feared neuralgia of the heart.
l tried several different kinds of treat
ment but they did me no good.
"One day my son brought me some of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and I found
that they strengthened my nerves. I
took several boxes and felt better in
every way. There were no more dizzy
attacks, the neuralgia left me and 7 have
been a well woman ever since"

BAD BLOOD
T"HEsSOURCEEOF ALL DISEASE

Every part OF the body is dependent on the blood for nouishment and
strength. When this life stream IS flowing through the system in a state of
purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health;
because pure blood is natures safeguard against disease. When, however,
the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived OF
its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various
ways. Pustular eruptons, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections
show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased conoition as a result of too
much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are
the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc, are all deep-seated blood
disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains.
These impurities and posons find their way into the blood in various ways.
Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of the
avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to our and
form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed
throughout the CIRCULATION. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is
another cause for the poisoning of the blood: we also breathe the germsa and
microbes of Malaria into u lungs, and when these get into the blood in
sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some
are S unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old
constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they are
constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood is the source of all dis
ease, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the body is sure to
suffer in some way. For blood troubles of any character S. s.. S. is the best
remedy ever discovered. 1t goes down into the circulation ard removes any
and all poisons, supplies the heathful properties it needs, and completely

For Children on SUNDAY.

Tomorrow is Sunday and I never
know what to do with the children" !"
This remark set Madame Merri to
thinking, and she recalled the recent
conversation with a clever young moth
er who related some of her methods in
keeping her little brood contented and
happy on this day. A few suggestions
are here given: Much depends upon
how Sunday is observed whether a
child looks forward with pleasure or
dread to the seventh day. 1t should be
such dear, happy time that the little
ones welcome it's advent with delight.
In the first place, after the usual duties
are attended to and church services
over, there should be an hour, perhaps
two, if the time can be given, that be-
longs exclusively to the children. It
may mean giving up nap, walk or
call, but reserve this time faithfully.

Duty on a Cake.

Italian salt is heavily taxed, not be.
cause it is a luxury, but because it is
a necessity, and the poor suffer great
ly, therefore, in the cause of arma-
ments. Sugar is taxed also, even in
the frivolous form of white orna-
ments on the top of a cake. So a
traveller from Alexandria found of
late, arriving in Venice with the ILL.,
timed parting present of a decorated
cake brought on board by an Egyptian
friend. Having no taste for cake, the
Englishman sailed into the Port of
Venice with his Egyptian sugar un-
eaten and forgotten. Down upon the
cake came the Italian officials, de-
manding duty. The Englishman pro-
tested that cake was not contraband,
whereupon the white ornaments were
denounced, traced by the point of
the sword of authority; It. was argued,
besides, that the substance of the
pastry itself was probably sweetened.
The English traveller, who did not like
paying duty, proposed to heave the
whole thing overheard into the

BE THRIFTY.
Practical Advice to Young Men b,
Herbert F. Price.

Money saving is becoming a lost
art with young men to-day. I am
sorry to see the greater majority of
them wasting their money-literally
throwing it away. Young men have
not half the thrift they had 25 years
ago. In those days nickels, dimes and
quarters were brought to the bank for
deposit, and it was this excellent habit
of thrift that made many of the pres
ent merchants prosperous and helped
them to start upon business career
of their own.
I wish l could fill every young man
with a dread and horror of poverty.
wish 1t were possible for me to make
them feel it's constraint, it's bitterness
and it's despondencies-that they
would make vows against it.. They
would then read with patience what
have to say regarding thrift.
What is thrift, young man? 1t is
the habit OF saving something regular
ly out of your earnings, whether those
earnings be 81 or $40 day. It is the
accumulation of money while young
and in the prime of life. It is a fortress
against poverty, and absolutely the
only way to get solid fortune.
A dollar is not an insignificant thing,
but worthy of great respect, and he
who considers it such can rightly be
said to be already poverty stricken,
for he is very apt not to be Influenced
by the good virtue of thrift On the
contrary, he is very liable to spend
every cent he earns, and then in later
years, when he beholds some old ac-
quaintance enjoying the fruits of his

IDEAS FOR THE HOSTESS.
Two Novel Entertainments-W the
Children on Sunday.

An interesting affair which always
takes place in August at the summer
home of the commodore of a seashore
yacht club is the luncheon given to
the members on the clubs birthday
The centerpiece this year is to be a
sailing boat flying the club pennants;
a long table mirror will make fine
sea and birch bark canoes at each
place will hold the salted nuts. The
place cards are to be tiny anchors and
dolls dressed as sailors, holding minia-
ture coils of rope, and oars are to stand
in a circle around the mirror which is
to be edged with shells and pebbles.
The menu is to be as nautical as
possible; seafood in most attractive
forms will be served, and the piece de
resistance is the dessert, which is to
be large rowboat of ice cream with
the name of the club done in candied
fruits. Sailor songs will be sung and
all the guests are to wear yachting
costumes. A sail by moonlight with
coffee at the clubhouse at II will finish
this delightful occasion.

Seoul, Korea. - Outside of one

This Is one of the remarkable facts
about the recent phenomenal reli

awakened. He is beginning to realize
that his head and his hands must be

Tinted Embroidery.

Probably the simplest kind of EN-.
broidery is the tinted muslins which
may now be bought ready stamped
in all sorts of conventional or floral
designs. The latter are the most ia.
vored, and of the flowers seen the
rose is best liked, though violets and
pansy effects are equally beautiful.
These tinted motifs are simply out
lined in fairly heavy mercerized
cotton, a tone or two deeper than the
flowers. The stems are also outlined
and the centers of the full-blown flow
ers are frequently worked in French
knots. These tinted effects are very
dainty for blouses, and strange to say,
launder very we'll, the delicate color
