After
La Grippe

Il had suffered several weeks
with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. 1t felt as
though there was heavy weight
on the top of my head, until it
seemed that my brain would
burst. | was so nervous that
/ could not rest or sleep, When
/ dozed off | would awake with
a sudden jerking of my whole
body. DR.. Miles Nervine, Heart
Remedy and Nerve and Liver
Pills cured me. A number of
friends have since realized the
same benefits"
MRS. ALVIN H. LOCKS,
Seabrook, N. H.
The after effects of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.

Another Girls Opinion

Dear Household have just finished reading
the Household and enjoyed the letters much
that ] can no longer say out IL Miss Thomas
viii Just open the door and let me in.
We have had some splendid letters marry
ing for money. ! do not believe that any girl
who thinks about marriage in the right way
could marry Just for money, but some do not
seem to realize the full meaning of it.
l don't think IL necessary for boy to :
laden with money when he marrles. but ne
ought TO be earning a good salary and have
enough money TO begin in easy circumstances.
Boys do not save their money as they shOulu.
Too many shows, dances, etc. to attend. They
say, Il cannot save anything by myself. When
/ get married l will quit all this and save
my money" IL seems to me II they cannot
save their money with only to support
that they will have a stin harder time when
,iey have a family hand.
II were a boy l would be ashamed TO ask
a girl TO leave a good -ome IL had none TO
offer her. | think IL n girl cannot better -er-
self she certainly ought not to worst" it, 1t
not only brings sorrow TO her, but TO her
family.
II a boy loves girl as he should he will
not ask her 10 leave her home for him until
he Is sure he make her happy she
IL at home. Some one will say: III she loves
him she ought to be happy with him at any
place"
1 do not think that money makes happiness,
but then IL is almost necessity these days II
we expect TO live. IL groceries keep advancing
in price the young girls may have to indorse
Mrs. PAnsy's plan or live on Imagination"
do not think people should marry so young
they should be old enough TO realize what they
doing. Marrying is not the only height to
reached in this life, although IL is one OF the
greatest. While / believe every should
marry II they find one they love. they ought
TO know what they are doing.
I know a girl who married ar 10. She is now
