From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The change of life is a most
critica. period In a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as 1t 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.

Topic, sociabiity. Rom. xiv.

tee) Edited by Rev Sherman H Doyle
ID. D.
Man Is a social being. No man lived
unto himself. and no man can live
unto himself The social instinct was
divinely implanted in man. and all the
arrangements of human life tend to
develop 1t. such as the home. the
church, the social sphere and political
life. The same tendency is seen in the
lower forms of creation. The cattle
herd together. the birds of the air Fly
In fiocks. and the smaller insects unite
together in forming their homes. Sure
ly what has been divinely implanted
must be for a useful and benefcent
purpose and is worthy of our careful
cultivation.
No one recognized the social phase
OF mans life more than Christ Him
self He was essentially social He
was no recluse and no hermit. but
during His whole public career freely
mingled with His fellow beings. He
attended social functions. was an in

place in the religious life of the people.
mingled in the crowds and Travelled
from place to place, accompanied by
those whom He was preparing to
carry forward His work in the future.
If we as His disciples follow in His foot
steps we must spend much time In
conversation and In fellowship with
those who are about US In our daily life.
The supreme purpose of sociability
Is helpfulness. In the creation of Eve
the Lord said: 'It is not good for
man to be alone. I win make an help
meetNfor him." This is the record Of
the beginning of human social life,
and the purpose was helpfulness. 1t
one of the supreme purposes of the
home is mutual helpfulness. The
state. another important phase of
mans social life. was organized for
the same purpose. From the earliest
forms Of tribal life until the time
of the most perfected forms of hu-
man government men have banded
themselves together for the purpose of
helping one another. By such or
ganizations there was greater offensive
and defensive strength and the possi-
bility of greater service and of greater
happiness The church also is. In
sense. a social organization. and the
supreme purpose of Christian fellow
ship is helpfulness. The man who will

In field or forest. at the desk or loom,
In roaring marke;-place or tranquil room;
Let me but find it in my heart TO say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me astray:
This is my work; my blessing, not my

OF all who live am the only one by whom
This work can best be done in the right

To suit my spirit and to prove my powers;

Dear aunt Madge and M. B. Sisters:

Deay AUnf Aadee and N. B. Sisters:
was sorry not to have been with you at the
reunion, and that does not express all that
felt, by any means, When l read sisters

union and how I felt part Of the day, SO sure
was that that was what troubled me. Ever
have them. stay-at-home sisters?
We have q promise .'to all those who pa
tiently wait" that they will be rewarded, and
so will write you about my good time Sept.
S. It was q surprise, too, you will see. In
the afternoon, about 1 o'clock, was invited
out to ride-an automobile ride. too-aud to
my surprise and pleasure we went direct to
Bluehiil fair ground. did not get out Of
the automobile, and the races were on, SO
did not see one familiar face, but had the
ride and saw where B. e. 8. lived, and she is
3 very dear friend; also where Uncle and
Aunt Madge live, and all this was . pleasure
to me, although 1t may seem small thing to
the rest.
So we are to write up the question and ans
wers of "high cost OF living. am afraid it's
beyond me, but put it this way: For the many,
it's the cost of living high on small capital
and trying to initiate the city people in dress
and leisure.
In ssye olden time" the people worked from
early dawn until late at night; they did not
have an eight-hour day, as do many working
men now, and then go out in the evening and
use up . large share OF the wages for pleasure
No time for that sin days gone by, yet there
were many social, pleasant hours spent in
singing school and "husking beesr and quilt

your poem was just fne. Be sure and come

others. How many there are who wear .

May NIL be spared to be present at the next

are able to be out these beautiful days we are

Dear M. b. Friends:
DO you know what the poem reminds
me off This: ~ contented mind is
continual feast" But it reminds me OF
more than contentment, and that is the fact
that there is satisfaction in doing the
work which is one's to do. The housewife
who enjoys her work is much happier
woman and makes home happier place
for her husband and children than does
she who looks upon household tasks as
drudgery.

tion of IN. A. G.": SIT seems to me that
the new subject opened for discussion is
very good one. expect that you will not
be troubled with lack OF material for
the column now"
Right here want to say word on that
subject. ! have the impression that when
housekeepers have noticed articles or allu-
sions to domestic science, they have said
to themselves: "oh, that is way above
me; that is some new-fangled college idea
which would not be OF any practical use."
But let US NJ. BIS take hold OF it and stalk
it over" in the column, and il we make
blunders or AJAX queer questions, the
thought of mutual benefit will cause the
wiser ones to smile indulsently at our ig-
norance, and they will be glad to explain
the points we do not comprehend.
We need not necessarily base our ex-
periments on family Of five, but as we
are about our cooking we can plan how to
get the most out Of our supplies with the
least waste. l know many of US are
thinking on this subject; let us compare
notes freely. N. L. H. deserves a blue
ribbon for being first in the field to open
the discussion.
