For Mothers.
Children need models more

Children need models more than
criticism.
To bring up a child in the way he
should 60, travel that way yourself.
The sooner you get a child to be a
law unto himself, the sooner you will
make a man of him.
We can never check what is evil in
the young unless we cherish what is
good in them.
Stories first heard at a mothers
knee are never wholly forgotten,
little spring that never dries up in
our journey through scorching years.
Line upon line, precept upon pre-
cept, we must have in home. But
we must also have serenity, peace
and the absence Of petty fault-ind-
ing if home is to be nursery fit
for heavens growing plants.
There are no men or women, how
ever poor they may be, but have it in
their power by the grace of God to
leave behind them the grandest thing
on earth, character; and their chill
dren might rise up after them and
thank God that their mother was a
'pious woman, or their father pious

LYDIA z. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known 81
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. Il s.
From the roots and herbs Of the
field Lydia e. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world q remedy for their PEI
culiar ills, more potent and efhca-
cious than any combination Of drugs.
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's Ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 n G. st,
Louisiana, Mo, writes: 4.
complete restoration to health
means 80 much to me that for he sake
of other suffering women am wiling
to make my troubles public
"For twelve years I had been suffer.
ing with the worst forms Of female ills.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago 1 wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re.
stored health and strength. It Is.
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women" =. &. So So

AIN 1884 my grandson, babe, had an

commended Cuticura and in few weeks
the child was well. He is to-day strong
man and absolutely free from the disease:

we seek cheerfulness and recres ton
we should be careful that we get no
spurious substitutes therefor. r.
reat means just what it says. Re
create, that is, to fit for the duties OF
the week. To put new life into your
self to stand the stress and turmoil of
life. Some men think they can do
this best by assembling at the house
of worship, some by walking abroad
in Gods out of doors, some by at
tending some innocent place of
amusement, some by just staying at
home and resting, some by COM
bination Of these.
We must not lose sight Of the fact
that "the Sabbath was made for man,
not man for the Sabbath" 1t is to
help man, it is something to satisfy
his needs, not a dark law with pen
atty attached. Now, the deepest need
of man and especially Americans Is
rest. There is something very sweet
about that phrase, The weary are
at rest" We ought to seek to make
the day real day Of rest. 1t is the
