forth, these two, the man and his
wife, from Rangoon northward. The
railway carried them some distance;
later they struck off with their train
into the primitive wilderness beyond
the ultimate British outposts on the
Chindwine, main tributary to the Ir
rawaddy.
The land was peaceful, hospitable
and very. very lovety in its wilder
ness. Their happiness was ecstasy
By day they rode through jungle
wood and rolling uplands, or less east
ly through the Businesses of the hills
side by side, thought linked to
thought, their hearts attuned. By
night their camps were pitched in a
new-found world of beauty, wonderful
in its shadowy mystery.

stairway, broad and easy, and throng

time they moved blfndly in and out;
but at length they came to massive
doorway looking toward the West, and
here they paused, hand in hand, look

Buddha, who squatting cross-legged
upon a pedestal, looked through the
incense-scented gloom ceaselessly for
ward to Nirvana.
The figure, carven originally from
stone, had been SO heavily plastered
with gold-leaves by the devout, that
now it had all the semblance of being
gold to its core; and, lavishly deco

evening glow it shone like some great
lamp of holiness. Only it's face was
in shadow.
Slowly the light struck higher be

slowly it crept up and yet up, until its
last blood-red shaft revealed the Bud

therein, monstrous ruby.
The woman gasped family and

He held her close. watching the great
stone fame and throb and pulse, like
pool of living fame swimming in

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited

lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much

The "change of life " is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. AT this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. 1t
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.
