fee of the Clerk of said Court her
libel for divorce against George w.

that she was lawfully married to the

treated the libellant with intolerable
severity; for three consecutive years

the Court would grant her divorce
from the said George w. Caverly,
and custody of the minor child.
And whereas, it is made to appear
that the said George w. Caverly re-
sides and is without this State where

cannot be made upon him, therefore

Caverly be given notice of the pend
ency of said libel, given opportunity tc

WOMAN AND THE CHILD SLAVE.

The average man may dismiss with
but little consideration the question
whether or not there is an army COM
posed of men and women who are
both willing and anxious to work. The
man who owns home may thought
lessly and ignorantly assert that there
is no "hread line" Possibly but few
of us read the late Carroll D. Wright's
Eighteenth Annual Report" but
could we roll back the curtains we
would read "a story behind the returns,
a story of hardships pitiful in the
extreme, a story of privation never
dreamed of by the black slaves.

HOUSECLEANING MANIA.

Have you symptoms of houseclean-
ing mania 2 It so, lose no time in
having it cured, for there is scarcely
any other form Of mania that causes
50 mulch Wretchedness.
There was once woman living in
a small illinois city who was afflicted
with this disease In its worst form.
She lived In ain outwardly beautiful
house, the interior of which, however,
was tomb, prison, a cold place
which chilled in mind, bod y and spir-
1t, every one who entered its doors.
Neighbors seldom called the second
time. If thread CHANGED to fall
from their clothing or a speck of dirt
from their shoes, Mrs. M. promptly
brought in broom and dustpan (she
could keep no maid) and in the very
presence of her guests took up the of
Tending particles.
If a relative, sufficiently courage
Gus to remain over night in this house
Of gloom, CHANGED to place sheet on
the bed wrong side out or upside
down, it did not long escape the eagle
eye of my lady of the broom and dust
pan, who promptly whisked it off and
reprimanded the guest for her disord-
erly habits. The washstand pitchers
must always be replenished to a GER
tain point, and if the person supplying
these with water failed to heed this
rule the defect had to be remedied,
even though it meant an extra trip
from the third floor to the basement.
The husband and five sons were
never permitted to pass beyond the
threshold when coming in, before tax
inc off their shoes, and the youngest
of the flock knew to his physical and
mental hurt what it meant should one
OF his toys chance to get Beyond the
corner of a certain room.
AS to sunshine, there never was
any i'll this house: the rugs were of
more value to this woman than the
health of her family.
The fireplace never served its legi-
innate purpose, because Of the ashes
which might be scattered about the
house.
What was the cause of this abnor-
NAL care? The husband was crushed,
cowed, miserable nonenity in the house
which his money had paid for, butt
among the men with whom he tran
sacted business, rapidly deteriorat-
ing being-becoming daily more and
more unfit to cope with less fettered,
therefore, more brilliant, minds than
his.
The sons-denied cheer and peace
in the home, and the privilege of en-

pertaining their friends-found vent
for their exuberant young spirits (that
Is for so much as had not been
crushed out Of existence) in the ganb-
ling hall and saloon.
There was not a waking moment of
this woman's life that she was not
thinking of her house-not her home
and looking for dust or dirt of one
kind Or another.
In the desire to keep the kettles
and pans bright, she became blind to
the actual needs Of her family! She
forgot that they were souls. She
could not understand the words which
fell from the lips of the orator, for
he spoke Of beauty and beauty did not
companion with the CRIME and ashes
which constantly bec1ouded her mind.
She failed to see the charm Of a
painting, because imaginary dust OBJ
scured her vision.
She felt no uplift in the sunlight,
for it meant to her more dust; she
saw no gladness in the cooling clouds,
for they brought rain, and rain pro-
duced mud which careless neighbours
would carry into her house!
Dear mothers, if you find yourselves
in a nervous tremor whenever the door
opens to admit one of your friends,
Or when your little son or daughter
bursts into the house with song and
laughter, or your husbands CHEEKY
tones are heard in the hall, because
you fear track may be left on the
kitchen floor, or the parlor rug, or a
chair may be moved from the place
where you set it, or a part of the
evening paper carelessly thrown on
the f1oor-then you have strong sympt-
oms of housekeeping madness, and
it should not be permitted to con-
tinue for another day.
If you feel this dreadful disease
or mania stealing upon you, go out
more among your neighbors. Spend
all the time possible out-of-doorS.
Take a long walk every day. OBJ
serve people. Study the sky, the trees,
the birds, the flowers. Read whole
some literature, including wit and hu-
NOR. Eat sufficient nutritious food,
masticating it slowly; drink pleenty of
pure water. Open the doors and win
dows Of your home, that air and sun
shine may reach every corner. Make
it haven Of rest, place of JOY and
gladness, the dearest spot on earth to
your family, yourself the queen, the
companion, the confidant, and the
blessing of health, youth and peace
may be yours throughout all the COM
ing years.-Woman s Work.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

Some men s minds are a blank on
all public questions if left to them
selves, but they are generally the loud
est shouters in the gang when follow
ing the push.
The standard for satisfaction
IN the human mind, on public ques-
tons, embraces a wide range; some
are best satisfied as followers, some as
lmltators, some are never satisfied un-
less striving for something new or
better than the present; while others
are continually shouting, "Let well

While the use of new and improved

I would say that in 1908
only 1916 per cent. Of the workers

greater now. We might go on with

the "bread line" because she is dis

woman is dishonest that she takes
a place in the field, the shop or fac
tory? Can you conceive of any cause
except the fear of starvation that will
drag the mother from her child into
the cotton mill?
Think you that because many of
these mothers are uncultured that they
lack the Divine essence of womanhood,
mother love? And just here let me add
that had the vast amount Of money

For government to take $10,OOO-

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumb- ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the iDf1amma- ton can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in famed condition of the mucous sur faces.
