Much sickness is OF nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
II any OF these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.

Trimmer Can Earn
$50 a Week, But Ap-
prentices First Work
For Nothing.

Millinery is an art" said the pro-
prietor of one of Canton's leading mill
linery stores when she was asked
what she thought of the advisabilty
of girls taking up the work for a liv-
ing.
Trimmings are not thrown togeth-
er in haphazard way, but attention is
given to color combination and the
form of the wearer's face"
To succeed in the millinery business
a girl must be deft and artistic, wheth-
er she expects to work for someone
else, or to go into the business for her
self. If the latter is her intention she
must add to these qualifications a
good business ability.
The first step in learning the busi-
ness is to begin as an apprentice. A
girls apprenticeship usually covers
two seasons, and she seldom receives
any pay during this time, unless she
displays exceptional aptitude and abil-
ity. Her work includes making ban
deauX, preparing trimmings and MAX
ing frames. The making of frames
is important because the effectiveness
of a hat depends primarily upon a
good foundation.
After a girl has served her appren-
ticeship she is a maker for several
seasons, and is paid from three and d
half to seven dollars a week. IL she
has unusual ability she can sometimes
command as much as twelve dollars a
week.
If, after a few seasons, a maker
shows promise she is sent to the
wholesale house and becomes a trim
mer. A good trimmer gets from eigh-
teen to thirty-five dollars a week. A
trimmer must have good taste and be
artistic, if she would succeed in her
work, and she must be a good design
er and able to adapt the styles to her
trade.
The girl who is ambitious is not
satisfied with being merely a good

trimmer, no matter how large her sal
ary, She desires to advance still
farther in her work and to become a
department manager OF to own q store
of her own.
The department manager has pleas-
ant, remumerative work and does not
have the responsibility that attaches
to a store Of her own. Aside from
the work of directing the department
she goes to New York and other cast
ern markets before the season opens
and selects the stock. Her salary is
excellent, varying somewhat according
to her ability and location.
The woman who owns her own
store occupies an independent posi-
ton, which compensates for the add
ed work and responsibility. In addi-
tion to an expert knowledge of every
phase of millinery work she must pos
sess keen business sense. Her in
come depends largely upon her loca-
tion and business enterprise.
A favorite field for this sort OF en-
terprise is the small town. While the
income in such a location is not 50
large as it might be in a city, rents
are not so high, competition Is not
so strong, and it costs very little to
live.
1t is to the millinery store in the
small town that the trimmer is first
sent. If she makes good there, she
can usually secure a good position in
a larger place. Her salary during this
period averages about ten dollars a
week.
The girl who would take up millin-
cry work for livelihood has many
things to consider. While she will,
in time. if successful, be able to COM
mand a larger salary than stenOg-
rapher or bcokkeeper receives, it will
take her number of years 10 achieve
this goal. She should remember, also,
that the millinery season is compar-
atively short, and the girl who has no
home to which she can go between
seasons must often make pitiful eff
forts to keep the wolf from the door.
The work itself is pleasant, and es-
sentially feminine, but girl should
be sure that she is fitted for it, for
otherwise she can expect nothing but
failure.

QUICK DECISION.
4 Most Valuable Gift TO Any Woman
Particularly II She Has to Plan
Ahead.

The power of planning ahead is a
most valuable asset to any woman
and particularly to the one in moder-
ate circumstances.
The people who cannot make up
their minds are those who have it put
all over them in this world. More
than one family has stayed in poverty
because the head of it, a woman left
a widow, could not make up her mind
what was the best thing to do for
her little flock.
Some women solve the situation, as
, they think, by pQstponing,. but this
never yaoes any -re 7soQd -sb1E-s poE
Icy like That of the ostrich, which
hides its head when the enemy APP
proaches and deceiVeS no one but it.
self.
Decision of character is something
that can be instilled into every human
being If it's education is started young
enough. Mothers who let their chill
dren start life without knowing their
own minds make a grievous mistake.
Teach both the girls and boys to size
up a situation, to pick out the true
from the false, the eXpedient from the
undesirable, and to do this without
incoming over a situation for ages and
you will have done a great thing for
them.
While some men are fumbling, hope
lessly wondering which is right and
which is wrong, others are walking
right in without hesitation and get.
ting away with the prize because they
have received the right training.
Although it is infinitely better to
have been trained in childhood, one
is never too old to learn. If you are a
woman afflicted with this peculiar
mental failing, particularly if you are
q mother, make every effort to cure
yourself of it. Learn to discriminate
and know your own mind. Refuse to
be one of those Wretched, shilly shaIly-
ing women of whom the world is only
90 full-women who almost drive their
husbands and children mad, who never
plan things, who never know what
they want or what they don't want
and who, when they have others left
TO their care, lead them straight into
poverty and bankruptcy by their pro-
crastinating, undecided ways, their
trust in luck, the future and every
thing but their own powers of under
standing and of reasoning. The world
is full Of such women, who have to be
led, driven, pushed and pulled. What
we need as a sex are women who are
self reliant, not those at the mercy Of
every wind, for the latter are the curse
of every household where they exist.

THE COMPLEXION.

No Woman Need Have a Bad One If
She Takes the Proper Pains With 1t.
No woman need have a bad COM
pleXion If she takes pains with it.
Most bad complexious come from i'm

THAT'S WHAT THE oClETY
OF GOOD CHEER" HAS WsEEN
ORGANIZED FORH

The Society of Good Cheer has bee,
chartered under the state law 6 of New
York by group of young Hyomen O
the upper west side Of New Kork CITY
These earnest young worker Ns aim Il
cheer the sick and especiallyN the con
valescent, TO give a touch VI ioy tc
those lives that have beenF brought
low through sickness, to$ find the
stranger within the gates" that NAV
be very much in need of bheer. anf
TO promulgate cheerfulness among all
classes Of people.
For some time these youkue- ladies
have made it a part Of III cir every
day life to visit boarding hdbuses. ho.
tells, hospitals and private esidencey
where the sick were convald scing and
by distributing flowers, bo3Jks, mag
azines and good cheer, have assisted
many people back to rugg4ed health
and real life.
Miss Theora Carter, theI leading
spirit among these young laldies con-
ceived the idea of organizing a Soci-
ETY. of Good Cheer to be coItlposed OF
young ladies who would dewbte a Dor
ton of their time to helpfuElness and
cheer.
Miss Carter became sick lwhile at
tending post graduate classts in Chi
cago and mapped out the Work while
convalescing. She is now deyoting
her ample income and tin lie to the
society and has inspired suJh a spirit
of cheer among her young Iassociates
in New York that many hdve ioinod
in the work.
Miss Carter is the president of the
society and she and her 5o-workers
are successfully creating ain organi-
zation that will soon be a Aotent fac
tor in our national life.
Many lodges have been formed and
others are ready for organi hation. It
is proposed to institute lodges in all
the centcrg of the country To work
with physicians in aiding and assist
ing the convalescert and to bring be-
fore the entire people the necessity
for good cheer at all times
Already the famous HAM |pton Court
estate of Staten Island with it's 80
acres Of fine lawns and park 3 has been
thrown open to the membs srs of the
society for their work.
A tented city in New Mexicb b has been
planned for incipient coinsumptives,

the Hudson. FNo
The society is distributing hangers
and cards among business houses
with the words; "CheerfuIness is an
asset"
The patrons Of the society include
some of the leading women of the
land.
This society is not a charity.
Those who join must give a portion
of their time and. where that is i'm
possible, they are expected to give
way to others who are ready to do
work in person.
One of the aims OF the society is
to encourage men to cheer up their
friends and acquaintances when sick
and convalescing.
Many men have an idea that when
they are sick it is best to be left
alone, a kind Of independence that
does not always work out well with
the other man.
One Of the strict rules OF the soci-
ETY. is that young ladies in visiting
must go in pairs or groups and must
study sanitation and hygienic rules.

BROKAW WASA
SPENDTHRIFT
What Money He Has
Left the Lawyers
Will Get.
COMEDY IN LAWSUIT

SPECIAL 10 THE NEWS.
New York, Dec. 15.--A vein of COM
edy cropped out during the latter part
of today's session Of the trial of the
suit Of Mrs. Mary B. Brokaw against
her husband, w. Gould Brokaw at
Mireola when Minna Lahti, Mrs. Bro
kaws maid, was put on the stand to
tell what she had heard Mr.. Brokaw
call his wife.
Minna comes from Finland and has
been in this country only five years,
Her English is not fluent, and her
answers to questions kept the judge
lawyers, principals and the audience
in smiles. Brobaw himself laughed
until the joke was on him.
She was asked what Brollaw had
said to his wife on an occasion at
Great Neck when he broke into her
room.
"He called her very bad names, u
said the maid. HE called her the
liar"
rs that ALP" asked Mr.. Baldwin,
Mrs. Brokaw's lawyer, who had sum-
moned the witness.
NO" said Minna, "he called her a
damned liar"
How did Mr. Brol1aw seem at that
time?" asked Baldwin.
He was drunk said the maid,
The answer was stricken from the
record. WELL" said the witness, 'he
seemed very angry and-that word
what said before"
John H. Armstrong, one of the ex-
ecutors of the estate of the late Will
liam B. Brokaw, was put on the stand
to testify as to Brokaw's finances.
Mr.. Armstrong said that between
the years of 1904 and 1907 William B.
Brokaw had given to w. Gould Bro
kaw $41S, ,7S2.63 besides 45O shares of
Standard Oil stock which today is
worth in the neighborhood of $3.50 a
share
Mcintyre said that to use the COM
mon expression his client had blown
in every cent of the money and had
left very little of the stock. He add
ed that it looked as though he and
the other lawyers stood fair chance
Of getting what there was left.
