What HoIds a Man.

Good men are attracted and held not
alone by salaries, but by the conditions
under which they work. The efficiency
of the board of water supply force COM
pares favorably with any large public
or private engineering organization.
This board has been noted also for its
esprit de corps and enthusiasm for its
work. These desirable qualities. the
report states, were obtained by select
ing the most suitable available men
for the leading positions, giving great
weight not only to technical fitness
but also to those personal qualifica
tions which cannot be learned or rated
by examinations.

with my heart. which did not feel

Sometimes 1t would beat fast, and
at other times very slowly. so that I
would hardly be able to do work for
an hour or two after breakfast, and IL

tried leaving OF the coffee and began
drinking Postum. The change came
quickly. am glad to say that l am
now entirely free from heart trouble
and attribute the relief to leaving on
coffee and the use Of Postum.
"A number of my friends have aban-

ARE YOU DISFIGURED
BY SKIN ERUPTION?

Pimples, rashes, ringworm, prickly-
heat and. worst Of all, that red itch
ing, scaly torment, eczema, vanish
when you use resinol ointment and
resinol soap. There is no doubt about
it. Even though your skin is so
unsightly with eruption that you shun
your friends and your friends shun
you, resinol usually makes it clear
and healthy, quickly, easily and at
trifling cost. When you are sick Of
wasting time and money on tedious,
expensive treatments. get resinol oint-
ment and resinol soap from the near
est druggist and you will quickly see
why physicians have prescribed them
for twenty years for just such troubles
as yours! Great for sunburn.-Adv.

ostriches Cheaper These Days.

1t helps one to realize the South At
rican slump in ostriches, as shown
by the sale of fullgrown bird for
three pence at Grahamstown, when
one recalls former prices. In the
early days of ostrich farming a chick
newly out of the egg would sometimes
fetch 910, and $500 has been
paid for a good pair of grown birds.
But those were the days when one
plucking of single bird would bring
in G25. and of late years prices
have not ruled so high-you could get
quite good pair of ostriches for Ell.
Ostrich farming dates from about
1907, and brought many a pioneer a
fortune when it first began.-London

Shirts made of paper in Japan are
in regular use in large quantities for
the Russian army. They proved
their worth during the winter cam
paign in Poland and East Prussia. The
paper used is made from mulberry
bark. Paper clothing known as kamike
has long been in use among the Jap
anese. Such clothing is not only cheap
but most serviceable, its only draw
back being that it cannot be washed
The paper is very soft and warm. but

between two sheets and the whole

THE CHARM
OF motherhood
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is q try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
ple time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to The trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
