world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs Of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia Z. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
II the world q remedy for their Pc
euliar ills, more potent and etfica-
aious than any combination of drugs.
lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha AIuff, of SIS NC. ST.,
Louisiana, 30, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
Of other suffering women I am willing
TO make my troubles public.
For twelve years had been suffer-

Re MAN, Bow.
SO you are 81?
And yon stand up elear-eyed, clean
minded, to look ali the world squarely,
in the eye. You are man!
Did you ever think, son, how much
it has cost to make a man out OF you?
Some one has figured UP the cost in
money Of rearing a child. He says to
bring young man to legal age, care
for him and educate him, costs S25, 900.
Which is lot of money to put into
flesh and bleed.
But that isn't all.
You have cost your father many
hard knocks and short dinners and
worry and gray streaks in his hair.
And your mother-ah, boy, you will
never know! You have caused her DAYS
and nights Of anxiety apd wrin kles in
her dear face and heartaches and saeri.

1t has been expensive to grow you.
But
If you are what we think you are,
you are worth all you cost-and much,
much more.
Be sure OF this While father doesn't

deep in his tough, stauuch neart, he
thinks you are the finest ever And as
for the little mother, she simply cannot
keep her love and pride for you out of
her eyes.
GU are man now.
And sometime you must step into
your father shoes He wouldn't like
you to call him old, but just the same

see, young man, he has seen working
hard for more than twenty years TO
help you upl And already your moth
er Is beginning TO lean Oh you.
Doesn't that sober you Twenty-one?
Your father has done fairly well, but
you can do better. You may not think
SO, but he does. He has given you
better chance than he had. In many
ways you can begin where he left off.
lie expects good deal from yeu, and
that is why he has tried to make
mai Of you.
Don't fliach, boy
The world will try you Quilt will put
to the test every fiber in you. But you
are, made of good stuff. Once the load
is fairly strapped on your young
5 oulders, you will carry it and, scarce

and cheerful mind.
All hail, you, on the Threshold
It's high time you were beginning to
pay the freight. And your back debtsto

How shall you pay them?
