WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize more fully that good health is not to be found in the use of cosmetics and face powders. The appearance of health may follow facial treatment, but health itself lies much deeper than the surface.
 Most important to the health of ev- cry woman is regularity of the bowels and digestive organs. The weary eyes. bad breath. frequent headaches. pimples and general air of lassitude. Is in most every case due to consti- patton or Indigestion, or both. There are various remedies prescribed for this condition, but the easiest, most pleasant and certainly effective, is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin known to druggists as Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. This simple remedy is far preferable to harsh salts and cathartics and violent purgative waters that disturb the whole system without affording more than temporary relief.
 Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is Q tonic laxative. mild in its action, pleasant to the taste and positive in its effect. strengthening the muscles of stomach and bowels so that after short time these organs regain the power to perform their natural func- tions without assistance.
 Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists everywhere in soc and s1.00 bottles. If you have never tried it, write for a sample to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, POI Washington St., Monti- cello, H.; he will gladly send trial bottle without any expense to you whatever.

The woman who keeps house. has enough to do when she IS in good, sound health, but if she Is weak, tired all the time, and suffering from morn to night with an aching back, house work becomes . heavy burden.
 Many women who were afflicted in this way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have made life easier for them.
 Women are subject to kidney disease. The clothing they wear, the work they do, the worry and strain of bearing and rear ing children, the lack of proper exercise; all tend to t.
 Backache, bearing down pains, headache, dizzy spells, faintness, fits of "blues," and other troubles often thought to be peculiar to the sex. are found frequently in kidney disease. When any one of these ills ap- pears. together with discolored condi- tion of the kidney secretions, with passages too frequent, scanty or burning just make up your mind that your kidneys are weak, !, and be quick to help them.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have helped great many weak women through the trying times when kidney disease means so much added misery. They do no. disturb the stomach or bowels and contain no poison ous. dangerous nor habit forming drugs DoAn's are harmless for children too.

 After awhile she spoke.
 Good evening, Mir. links
 Why, good evening

 Then. after pause. she added:
