Red Cross Christmas Seals.

The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis will this year for the first time be na- tional agent for the American Red Cross In handling the sale of Red Cross seals. A new national office has been opened in Washington, and an initial order has been placed for 50,- 000,000 seals, although it is expected that double that number will be sold. The charge to local agents for the seals will be 121a per cent. of the gross proceeds, the national agent furnish ing the seals and advertising material, and taking back all unsold seals at the end of the season. Postmaster Gener- al Hitchcock has approved of the de- sign of the seal. Owing to the fact that many people last year used Red Cross seals for postage, the post office department has given orders that let ters or packages bearing seals on the face will not be carried through the mails.

WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF HIM
Remark by No Means plimentary Made by Constituent of Repre-
 sentative Underwood.

Representative Underwood, chair man of the ways and means commit tee in congress, represents what is known as manufacturing district" because 1t contains all the factories and smelters H. and about Birming- ham, Ala. But he also has among his constituents lot of farmers-of which fact he is now painfully aware.
 He drove out to settlement in Bibb county one afternoon to persuade the farmers they ought to vote for him. AS he stepped up to the porch of little store an old man rushed up to him with the request:
 Please sign this paper It's peti- tion to Congressman Underwood to have young lady postmistress here."
 'I'd be glad to sign it." said Under wood politely; "but as I'm not resi- dent of this community, my name wouldn't help you"
 "Oh, yes, it would" the old farmer assured him. Were getting every body to sign it, strangers and all. Go ahead and put your name down! That fool congressman will never know the difference!"-The Sunday Magazine.

SECRET OF PASTORS SUCCESS
Writer Is of Opinion That Proper Man ner Has Much to Do With
 the Matter.

The reason why good many min isters of fair ability are out of a job is because they do not want to visit, because they are looking for a church that will fit their own notions rather than trying to fit themselves to the needs of a church. It is true that a good many men do not know how to call, they do not know how to behave when they get into a house, they do not like it and will shirk it every chance they get. Yet calling is the secret of success in almost every par ish today-not the same kind of call ing in all places, but some kind in every place-and if our seminaries had wisdom they would fit their stu dents to do their work in the best way, in the only way in which it can be done in the country at least. Give one year to sermon-making and three years to making gentlemen in the truest sense of that word Thus send out men who can adapt themselves to the needs of the place where they are called, and can thus serve human souls, who, being as they are, want to be better. The problem of the country church is to be solved by the pastor rather than the preacher.- Universalist Leader.

TEN YEARS OF HORRIBLE
 HEADACHE
Husband Tells Story of Mrs. Guthrie's Long Illness and Is
 Glad She Is Relieved.

Beaufort, N. C.-Mr. Luther Guthrie writes as follows: My wife suffered with horrible headaches for ten years, and I spent Three Hundred Dollars for doctor bills for her, but nothing did her any good.
 I had read about Cardui for years back, but never tried it, until last Oc- tober, when I decided to get it for my wife.
 Now she has taken two bottles, and it has done her two thousand dollars worth of good.
 She is entirely well, and has not had another attack of headache since she commenced to take Cardui.
 Just as long as the medicine is made, shall have Cardui in my home. I can't praise it half enough"
 Cardui has cured sick women, after other medicines have failed. It is made of ingredients that act specif1cal- ly on the womanly constitution. It is not cure all. It Is medicine for women, and only for women.
 For more than 50 years, it has been in widely extended use, by women of all ages, and has given perfect satis- faction, as a remedy for rebuilding womanly health and strength.
 Try it yourself. It will help you.

FOOD AGAIN A Mighty Important Subject to Every
 One.

A Boston lady talks entertainingly of food and the changes that can be made in health by some knowledge on that line. She says:
 An injury to my spine in early wom- anhood left me subject to severe sick headaches which would last three or four days at time, and violent course of drugging brought on consti- patton with all the ills that follow.
 My appetite was always light and uncertain and many kinds of food dis tressed me-
 T began to eat Grape-Nuts food two or three years ago, because I liked the taste of it, and I kept on because l soon found it was doing me good.
 "I eat it regularly at breakfast, ire quently at luncheon, and again before going to bed-and have no trouble in sleeping on it. It has relieved my con- stipation, my headaches have practi- cally ceased, and I am in better physi- cal condition at the age of 63 than l was at 40.
 T give Grape-Nuts credit for restor- ing my health, if not saving my life, and you can make no claim for it too strong for me to endorse" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Greek Mich.

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

'I can truthfully say Cuticura Rem edies have cured me Of four long years of eczema. About four years ago I noticed some little pimples coming on my little finger, and not giving it any attention, it soon became worse and spread all over my hands. If I would have them in water for long time, they would burn like fire and large cracks would come. I could lay a pin in them. After using all the salves 1 could think of, I went to three different doctors, but all did me no good. The only relief got was scratching.
 "So after hearing so much about the wonderful Cuticura Remedies, I pur- chased one complete set, and after using them three days my hands were much better. Today my hands are entirely well, one set being all I used" (Signed) Miss Etta Narber, R. F. D. 2, Spring Lake, Mich, Sept. 26, 1910.

 Mother smiled at him lovingly.
 Master Teddy seated himself on a large chair directly opposite. and, aft CT wriggling anxiously around for a minute or two, delivered himself of the speech.

Magazine.

Tommy was venturesome lad, but nobody had ever credited him with sufficient courage to shake his head in contradiction when the Sunday school visitor, who wished to show off his knowledge of Biblical history, asserted that Sarah, Abraham's wife, was the only woman whose age was recorded In the Bible. Seeing the disappearing motion of the little head in the front row the visitor reiterated: Sarah was the only woman whose age is re- corded in the Bible" Then Tommy spoke right up: There are three more that know of," said he. ''Who?" asked the astonished visitor. Mother grandmother and Aunt Lucy" said Tommy.

 Yes" he persisted stubbornly, I'm a dub!"
 "No," she maintained.

God and Man.

Most religions are meant to be straight lines, connecting two points God and man. But Christianity has three points-God and man and his brother, with two lines that make a right angle. Each one of us is at the point of the angle, looking up to God and out to our brother Wh"t God sends down the perpendicular line we must pass on along the horizontal If one hand goes up to God the other must go out to our brother.--Bs bcock

 This is the age of substitution, and women who want a cure should insist upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound just as this woman did, and not accept something else on which the druggist can make little more profit.
 Women who are passing through this critical period or who are suff&ing from any of those distressing if.s pe- culiar to their sex should not lose sight of the fact that for thirty years Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which is made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for fe. male ills.
