Nature and a woman's work com.
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good oil -fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease aud 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 L. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
Of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means 20 much to me that for the sake
Of other suffering women I am willing
TO make my troubles public.
"For twelve years I had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time 1 had eleven different

General Demand

Of the Wcll-Informed of the World has
always been for simple. pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet

In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup OF Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark

STUDY OF HUMAN NATURE.
Important to Man of Business to Be
Reader Of Character.

How many business men appreciate
how valuable a knowledge of human
nature really is to them? There are
few things, even the capital employed
in business, more valuable than the
faculty of understanding the people
with whom one must deal day after
day.
The successful man in every walk
of life is the man who intuitively
knows how to deal with those whom
q he comes in contact. 1t Is the knowl-
edge of human nature and the ability
to read human character that makes
the politician success, that gives the
public man in every walk of life the
most useful power in his possession.
If the average business man paid lit
tie more attention to physiogomy and
its kindred studies he would be more
successful. The idiosyncrasies of
mankind are as various as the shells
of the ocean. Each individual cannot
be understood, but he can be placed
in his class, and a fair estimate OF
him made by the man who can read
the face and understand natural ac-
tions.
One of the first studies of the busi-
ness man should be his customers.
He should know little of the charac.
ter of each. He should be able to tell
the well-meaning, honest one from the
dead beat, and know how best to
handle each one. There is a differ.
ence between the actions of the man
who is always looking for some mer-
chant who will trust him and who
never pays his bills, and the honest
man. There is also a difference be-
tween the dishonest ones. and the
honest one who is a never-to-well. and
always in the hole" Day after day
the daily papers tell of the smooth
forgers who pass worthless checks,
the country jay" who has a check
cashed or buys goods on some one
else's credit. How much could such
work be prevented If the average bust
ness man only could read character
as he should? The wise man will lose
no opportunity to study human nature
and profit thereby. 1t is a capital
as useful to him as the money he has
invested in his business

Old Fouy Ways.
d. M. CARR

"The way my father did and MY
grandfather did, is good enough for
me; l don't take much stock In those
new tangled ideas" Hoy many in the
retail trade apparently take this view
OF things? What percentage of bust
ness men are making progress by fol-
lowing in the footsteps of by-gone
generations? 1t is not a wise and
good idea to use tallow dips and pine
knots in an electric light age? What
would an intelligent man think of the
western farmer who would undertake
to reap his wheat field with a sickle ?
But still many are in the same boat
when they try to do business as their
fathers and their grandfathers did.
There are certain principles that one
may follow; can be honest, give
square measure, be sociable, favor
friends, and all those little things. but
to do business in the old way means
failure unless one is located in
backwoods place where there is no
competition. The up-to-date merchant
Is the man who gets there. and 1t is 4
difficult matter to find the place to-
day where advanced methods are not
necessary.

PURCHASED EXPERIENCE.
Dealing Away from Home Causes TN
necessary Expense and Annoyance.

ono peculiar phase OF human nature
Is shown by how some people will
jump In and buy goods without sec
ing what they are getting Not long
ago man out in a western state, who
had made few thousand by farming,
decided 10 build new house in his
home town. He was a tight-fisted.
pfnch-the penny kind of fellow. and
decided that he would buy all he could
in the way of fixings from the mail-or-
der houses. He had the local plumb
er do the lead-piping and a lot of
WORK that the mail-order people
couidnt do, then ordered his bath-tub
and toilet fixings from a mail order
concern. He priced the tubs In the
local house, then decided that he could
save two or three dollars. He got
his tub and his stand from abroad.
Both came without fixtures. There
was a lot of trouble over freight, and
when the tub was put in place it was
found that nothing in the town could
be mad to fit 1t. Faucets, valves, etc.
were ordered from the house that sup
Piled tae tub. When they came 1t
was found they were the wrong size.
They were sent back, and another lot
sent Then even the local plumber
had to work two or three days extra
to get things in shape. When the job
was completed. 1t was found that the
cost was some SIS more than the
home man offered to do all the work
and supply the equipment. This III
only one illustration of how money
can be saved by ordering from a
house at distance.
Some who order from the retail
mail-order houses get taste of the
real thing. A young man in a Ne
braska town sent 65 cents to one OF
the concerns for buggy whip. II
was represented as cheap at twice the
price. In a week or so he got 1t by
express, charges only rs cents. 1t was
done up In package that the com
pany didn't charge for. but when ex
amined, the young man found that
the same whip could be had of his
home storekeeper for so cents. There
was cents money order and postage
10 cents expressage and 65 cents for
the whip. making total of s1.45, moi
counting the trouble OF ordering-al
this for a whip that could be had fol
onethird the amount at home.

THE PART HE PREFERRED.
Subtle Meaning In Poets Criticism Of

Joaquin Miller, the poet OF the Sier.

rarely comes into San Francisco, but
when he does he is made a good deal

dinner at friends house where he
stayed overnight His hostess had
known the poet since her childhood,
SO she felt privileged. next morning. to
discourse to him of the beauties of
the Partisan gown she had worn the
night before-beauties which seemed
to have escaped his observation.
Mr.. Miller listened to all that she
had to say and remained silent.

dress?" pleaded the lady.

Only a Square Deal.

How much of the money which is
sent away to the catalogue houses
ever returns to the community from
which it is sent? How much of the
money spent with the home merchants
goes to build up other places? Who
helps pay the taxes, build roads and
bridges, erect churches and school
houses, fosters and encourages public
improvements, buys farm produce.
carries names of the needy on the
debit side of the books the year
around, and is willing and eager at
all times to assist them by credit or
money, IL they may need 1t? Is it the
catalogue house or the local mer-
chant? The local merchant? Then
why not give him the opportunity to
figure on that cash order" perhaps
you are about to buy. He can fill it,
freight included, as cheapIy, and In
some instances much less, than the
catalogue fellows will charge. Stand
up for home trade. Dollars sent away
for goods never return, but help build
up the large cities and big catalogue
houses which are not only trying to
squeeze the life out of the country
towns. but are selling goods not one
cent cheaper than local dealers from
whom the people expect credit when
ever they need it.

Cheerfulness is like sunlight. 1t dis

coffee alone made things bright for
her. She writes:
