one day of the wonderful cures made
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and decided to try it,
and it has made me well woman.
My neighbors and friends declare it
had worked a miracle for me. Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is
worth its weight in gold for women
during this period of life. If it will
help others you may publish my
letter. Mrs. NATHAN B. Creation,
81 N. Main Street, Natick, Mass.
The Change of Life is the most criti-
cal period of a woman's existence.
Women everywhere should remember
that there is no other remedy known
to medicine that will SO successfully
carry women through this trying
period as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound.
If you would like special advice
about your case write a cOnfiden-
tial letter to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free,
and always helpful.

SETTING A HIGH STANDARD
ChId's Idea of Goodness Set Forth
in Perfect Faith, Without
lrreVerence.

All things are relative, and to the
child, gazing at life and it's wonders
with eyes as yet undimmed by So
phistication or sorrow, nothing is i'm
possible, nothing unspeakable, moth
ing too sacred to be discussed or too
difficult to be attempted. Not irrev-
erence nor impertinence, but inno-
cence prompts such speeches as that
recorded of the child of a popular
journalist by his devoted paternal
grandmother.
Grandma" said the little boy, de-
lightedly addressing her, do you
know what's going to happen? Papa
says that if we're real, real good, he'll
take us to the circus!"
That's NICE" smiled the young
hearted adult between whom and the
eager youngling no hint of age sepa-
ration mars perfect comradeship. "How
good do we have to be?"
The embryo man, after moment of
silent consideration: "Oh, as good as
God, l guess!"

Can't Get Away From 1t

phoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.44 per
cent from total of 101.07
Considerable more than one-half of Phos-
plate of Potash.
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (Which join and make Phos-
plate of Potash) is considerable more than
onehalf of all the mineral salts in the food
DR. Geo. W. Carey an authority on the
constituent elements of the body, says: "The
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phos-
phate phosphate of Potash) This salt unites
with albumen and by the addition of oxygen
creates nerve fluid the gray matter OF the
brain. OF course, there is a trace of other
salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid
and has the power within itself to attract, by
its own law of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir of life.
Further on he says: "The beginning and end
of the matter is to supply the lacking principle,
and in molecular FORM exactly as nature fur
nishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply defciencies-this is the only law of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that if Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you food which does not contain
it. you have brain flag because its daily loss is
not supplied
On the contrary if you eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.
Mind does not work well on brain that is
broken down by lack of nourishment.

GREATLY ATTACHED TO 1T

Acknowledged the Truth to His
Friends Query.

Apropos of beautiful young wife,
worth $4,000, 900, who had just di
vorced her penniless husband in or
der to marry again, Henry E. Dixey,
the comedian, said at dinner in New
York:
THE young man who marries for
money has none too easy time of it.
His rich wife is likely to tire of him
and throw him out in few years, or
else she is likely to limit his allow
ance to % or so cents a day.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD &
Jefferson SITS, Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
90 start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
silment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
/ had my way would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills coAtain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

Ace ns OYSTERS

Oysters grow only during the sum,
mer and especially during the long,
warm summers at that, and are scarce
ly big enough for the mouth before
the third year. 1t is easy after look
ing over a bunch of shells to tell how
old an oyster is. A summer hump and
the winter sink come across the shell
every year, but after the seventh or
tenth year full growth comes; then, by
looking at the sinks between the
humps it is hard to tell anything
more about Miss Oysters age. Oysters
live to be 20 years old.

Badger Crops Look Good.

Crop conditions throughout WiScOn-
sin are about normal, with slightly
better prospects than in 1910, accord
ing to the spring farm crop report is
sued by the state board of agriculture
through Secretary r. w Rowlands
More favorable weather conditions
than existed last year are forecasted
for this spring and corresponding
good effect is expected on the sum-
mer produce.
The only crops that seemed to have
suffered thus far, and are farther be-
hind than they were last year, are
clover and alfalfa, although there
seems to be a slight decrease in win
ter wheat, barley and spring rye. The
decrease in alfalfa and clover is cred
tied to the long drought of last sum-
mer and in many localities where the
clover crop was an utter failure a
larger acreage of later planted crops
will be the only means of bringing
the crop up to normal. What clover
survived the drought of last summer
has been handicapped severely by
lack of snow during the winter and
the freezing and thawing weather of
March and April. Alfalfa seems to
have undergone the same ordeal al
though it is reported in somewhat
better conditions than clover
Prospects for fruit never were
brighter than this year. The late
spring, so different from that of last
year, when all the buds were out be-
fore the heavy snowfall and frost late
in April, has proved a boon to the
fruit growers of the state in that the
trees have not blossomed until prac-
tically every fear of another frost has
passed.

Is it possible to nourish, strengthen and Re-
build the Brain by Food?
Every man who thinks uses up part OF the
brain each day. Why don't it all disappear
and leave an empty skull in say month or
brain work? Because the man rebullds each
day.
If he builds little less than he destroys.
brain fag and nervous prostration result sure.
If he builds back little more each day, the
brain grows stronger and more capable. That
also is sure. Where does man get the material
to rebuild his brain? Is it from air, sky or the
ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to
think about it, the rebuilding material must
be in the food and drink.
That also is sure.
Are the brain rebuilding materials found in
all food? In a good variety but not IL suitable
proportion in all.
To illustrate: we know bones are made large
Iy of lime and magnesia taken from food;
therefore to make healthy bone structure we
must have food containing these things. We
would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make
healthy bone structure in a growing child.
Likewise if we would feed in a skillful man.
ner to insure getting what the brain requires
for strength and rebuilding, we must hrst know
what the brain is composed of and then select
some article or articles (there are more than
one) that contain these elements.
