Merit in Medicine

The continued success OF medl-
cine depends entirely upon it's merit.
For nearly forty years Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has been
demonstrating it's worth among wo-
men, as the greatest of all remedies
for female ills, and the tremendous
volume of letters on file in the Pink
ham laboratory, at Lynn, Mass, from
grateful women. in all parts of the
United States and Canada, are ample
proof of it's merit.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is a good, old fashioned remedy
and enormous quantities of roots and
herbs are used every year in making
1t the standard remedy for female ills.

ONLY A DRUMMER.

Only a drummer with his case,
Boarding the outgoing train;

Always seeking others gain.

Seeking his employers good;
He's the connecting link for fare,
Preserving the cheerful mood.

Pouring oil where breakers rise,
Always making a good fellow,
When deserts would punch their
eyes. -.... II.

Introducing things that's late
From the wide worlds inventive

Making the progressive state.
Only a drummer on the mat;
When some smarty clerks to blame
For turning down instructions that
Were definite and plain,
But with the head he's got a pull,
That sets him all to the good; .
Notwithstanding, that now a fool
Is where once a wise man stood.
Only a drummer out at three;
He must make the early train,
To set him down in time to see
Mr.. Blank in time to gain
The stage, that jolts to Painted Post;
Then see Twisterman at four;
Then have Lee Chang Lee for mine

At twelve land in Livamore.
Only a drummer on his cot,
Fresh from off the midnight train;
In the morning at 1 o'clock,
He's planning next days campaign
Only a drummer with his case,
Boarding the outgoing train;
Always coming; always going;
Always seeking others gain.

VACATION IS OF
BENEFIT TO ALL
BUT IT MUST BE SPENT IN THE
RIGHT WAY IN ORDER TO GET
ALL THAT CAN BE GOTTEN OUT
OF IT-PAYING INVESTMENT
FOR EMPLOYER OF LABOR.

Many people underestimate the value
| of a vacation, and many who are able
to take a vacation do not get the
most out Of 1t. Outlines after they
have spent their week or SO away from
work they come back worse run down
than when they left and really have to
| rest up for another week before they
can again catch the step necessary in
rightly performing the duties that are
theirs.
There is nothing like the properly
spent vacation for overworked nerves
or rundown health. 1t puts new life
into ones system and makes living
worth while. A dray horse worked
every day in the year and given only
a few restless hours in his stall at
night will soon develop into a defect
ed, lifeless creature whose value is less
than half what 1t would be under diff
ferent circumstances and different
treatment. On the streets OF any city
the proof of this can be found in
abundance. -..:
1t is the same way with men, and
especially that ma who makes his
living through his brain. Times come
when ones thinkery refuses to operate.
If one is a writer he finds that his
sentences begin to string themselves
out unnecessarily long and that they
are not clear. A paragraph is used to
convey an idea when a sentence might
do as we'll. If one is a business mar
he finds his papers piling UP in front
| Of him and his dictation coming slow
ly Half of his work he does over or
lets go half DONE. He cannot sleep in
the earlier parts of the nights and gets
up in the morning feeling as If he had
been on a drunk the day before.
There is nothing that will bring Wig
or and power to think like a week or
two spent in some quiet place where
business cares cannot invade and
where the hour OF day makes no diff
ference. Money spent or a vacation
pays better than Uniter States bonds
to employee and employer alike. Ev-
cry man should slip away at least
once a year aud spend a few days or
weeks in such a way that when he re-
turns to his business he will be
strengthened and given more zest for
the duties of the day.

FOR
BOYS TO READ
Why SOME YOUNG MEN ARE
CONTINUALLY HUNTING JOBS,
WHILE OTHERS STICK TO ONE
PLACE WITH SALARIES Always
ON THE INCREASE.

Young men, or rather boys just
leaving their teens, often wonder why
it is that big business houses require
that they start at anywhere from
nothing to so cents a day as salary.
Perhaps these young men have just
finished high school, or even college,
and feel that their time and influence
for a house has much greater value
than the unsentimental business man
puts upon them.
If all young men were alike, If all
were filled with a desire to succeed
and amount to something, the business
man would think nothing of starting
them on salaries sufficient to furnish
them with all the necessities and a few
of the Inquiries of life, but, alas, this
is not so. Where one young fellow
goes in to win, and does win, a dozen
will fall down.
The writer has in mind a certain
young fellow who is always hunting a
job. This lad has been fortunate in
getting positions, but invariably after
working at one place for a few months
he decides that he is not being given
q square deal and quits. Though he
has been working for himself for the
past 1--WE years he has never yet drawn
more than $40 a week, and this
is more than he is worth. In the
words OF who has stood up for
this boy for the past few years, but
who is now losing hope for him, "A
business man can't see $40 or $12
a week in a wart-hog whose
greatest proficiency is in furnishing
draught for foul-smelling cigarettes
In this one thing the lad in question
is most proficient. He can blow more
different kinds of rings, can inhale
deeper and longer than any one Of his
friends, and is proud of the fact that
1t takes two fOcent boxes a day to
do him. OF course he has a trade, but
this never will amount to anything
and he will always have to stick
back in the rear office" and therefore
he's looking for something" where he
has a chance"
There are briars and stones on the
road to success. IL one would travel
this way he must at first make UP his
mind to be well-shod and turn not to
the right or left. It's all very well in
the early days, but old age creeps UP
rapidly. and first things n knows the
only opening for his service is at the
small end of a pick or shovel and al
wages that barely keep body and soul
together.
Business houses r always on tht
