WEDDING FEES AND
HOW THEY RANGE
All The Way From Dollar 10 a
Check for Three Thousand Plunks
is the Story.

New York has a few clergymen
whose marriage fees average 1920
a year The pastor of large Presby.
terrain church on Broadway has esti.
mated that his fees amount annually
to $1,000. These are top-notch figures.
The fee received by an American min.
lister for officiating at a wedding of
one of his wealthy parishioners in
Paris few years ago, is said to have
covered the expenses of his four
months vacation on the continent
Such fees, however, are extraordi-
nary They are beyond the widest
dreams of the average pastor, who
may be able to recall one fee of $50
in his entire ministry.
After you have known clergyman
for twenty years, perhaps you can in
duce him to talk freely about his
marriage fees-not before.
Large wedding fees are rare. even
in New York. Fees of $50 and 800
are considered large The $1,000 fee.

DO NOT SCOLD
NERVOUS CHILDREN
Instead Give Them a Safe Tonic
Which VIII Strengthen the
Weak Nerves and Prevent
an Attack of St. Vitus'
Dance.

Many child has been called awkward,
has been punished in school for not keep
ing still or for dropping things, when
the trouble was really chorea, or St.
Vitus' dance, as it is popularity called.
So common is this nervous disease in
childhood that in some schools one-fifth
of all the pupils have been found suffer
Ing from it in one form or another.
Before the presence of the disease is
betrayed there is usually disturbance OF
the general health. The child shows
listlessness and inattention. Then it
becomes restless, and twitching of the
muscles and jerking of the limbs and
body follow.
Often the patient loses flesh and be-
comes pale and bloodless. A remedy that
cures, st. Nitus' dance, and cures it so
thoroughly that no trace of the disease
remains, is DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
A typical case OF St. Nitus' dance is
described by Mrs. Fred Martin, OF Yates
Center, Kansas. Her cure by DIR. Will
hams' Pink Pills makes her statement
particularly valuable to parents, whose
children are suffering with this common
disease OF children.
sWhen / was nine years DID," she
says, 81 was afflicted with St. Vitus

attention to my studies. There was
