The lady who spoke had just said al, she thought[an in tn

about a certain cult to which OF her dearest friends was deeply de-

She had been impolite.
She had been undignihed.
She had hurt her good friend deep, zee WheFe hursta ar Po"-

But she had had the exquisite pleasure of giving away a piece OF her

Wonder If it paid?
AIoks O m lie like a very big price to pay. .- - -
i should think you might call that being generous to a fault'-that
is being willing to give away q piece O ones mine at such a COST
And what a lot of people are generous that way.
i was talking just the other day to a clever girl who has somehow
failed to receive the advancement in her business career that one would
expect from her unusual brains and ability.
The talk turned on this delicate subject.
"Il tell you just why 1 think 1T is" she said frankly, You know
1 never could be smoothtongued and hypocrtical like some folks, and
even when people we're above m e l never could keep from giving them a

Lucky she a clever If she hadn't been her propensity would
doubtless have cost her her position as well as he advancement.
OF course there come to all of u s once in awhile these uncontrolsble
fits Of generosity when we feel that we simply must give someone a
piece of our minds. =
To most generous Impulses it is well to yield before a cold-blooded
second thought has time to annihnate them.
But as to this kind of generosty-well it seems to me it is good to
remember when n is attacked this way, that blessed as it is to give
away things, most of us have need OF all our brains for the business OF
living and can't afford to give away a piece of our minds, however small

The following remarkable statement
was recently made by L. T. Cooper. II
concerns the preparation which has
been so widely discussed throughout
the country during the past year, and
has sold in such enormous quantities
in leading cities:
1T is now a well-known fact that
wherever I have introduced my New
Discovery medicine, hundreds of PEG
pie have brought internal parasites, OF
tapeworms, to me. In many cases these
people did not know the nature of the
parasite, and were consequently ex
tremely nervous until 1 explained the
matter to them. In some cities sc
many have had this experience that
the public generally became alarmed.
81 take this opportunity of explain
ing what these creatures are, and what
1 have learned about them in the past
"Tapeworms are much more com
mon than would be supposed. / ven
ture to say that ten per cent of all
chronic stomach trouble, Or what is
known as rundown condition., is
caused by them. An individual may
suffer for years with one of these
great parasites and not be aware of it.
Contrary to general belief, the appe-
becomes irregular. There is a general
feeling of faintness, however, and a
gnawing sensation in the pit of the
stomach. -: -:-..
People afflicted: with one of these
parasites are nervous and depressed.
Their chief sensation is one of lam
guor, and they tire very easily. Lack
of energy and ambition affect the body,
and the mind becomes dull and slug
gish- The memory becomes not so good,
and the eyesight is generally poorer.
1.-THE New Discovery, in freeing stom-
ach and bowels of all impurities,
seems to be fatal to these great worms,
and almost Immediately expels them
from the system. 1 wish to assure any
one who has the experience just re-
lated with my preparation, that there
is no cause for alarm in the matter,
and that it will as a rule mean speedy
