From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much benef'teo
by
lydia E. Pmkhamis Vegetable Compound

The achange of life is a most
critical period in woman's eA-
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 thS
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, varl-
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. Pinkhanl'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 VI
the weakened nervous system
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

Six Meals Day For Wilhelmina Of
Holland Called Injurious.
Queen Wilhelmina Of Holland is n
big eater. One Of the queens own
physicians has said:
AS far as / am able to foresee, she
cannot remain In good health much
longer. She eats and drinks so terri
bly, that Gargantua himself would
shrink before the task OF making
away with the repasts which are serv-
ed her."
On Queen Wilhelmina's recent visit
to Paris 1t Is said that only one thing
married the occasion for her. This was
that her time was SO fully taken up
by receptions. state visits and the like
that her meals were interfered with.
However, it is said in her favor that
she never lost her good temper and ac-
cepted her "priyations" with the sweet
est OF smiles and the best Of Queenly
good grace
In the morning the queen immediate

rye bread literally spread with butter
At 10 O'Clock she eats again. This
time it is rich cake, served hot, with
RED Wine or sweet white wine ON the
side. At O'Clock she eats her first

ed of several courses, mostly rich
viands. heavy pastries, etc, the queen
partaking royalty of each dish. Tea
is served at o'clock, the tea being Of
the Russian variety. Sandwiches go
with this. The most important meal
Of the day is served at o'clock, this
being veritable banquet. Her final
repast is partaken Of at IL O'Clock,
just before retiring, and IS of white
wine and crackers.

ton among meats.

Planning For 1918 Baseball Season.

which stand out prominently after the

1t is no easy task to get real line on
the ability Of q youngster in the spring.
The men report at the training camps
soft from several months layof and
have to be nursed along until they get
into condition. Then, too, some are
what is known as "spring ball players"
while others get into shape so slowly
that they do not show their true form
until after they are sent back to some
minor league club. In the early fall,
however, every man should be at his
best. 1t Is much easier task at this
time to classify the youngsters. AL
though the minors have already sold
many of their stars, the draft will
probably be large, and there may be
more new faces than usual In the big
