been arrested by a deputy United

THE HOUSE
KEEPERS PROBLEM
THE FACTS OF THE CASE

The tendency Of the times Is for
young women to prefer work in
Office or factory rather than doing
housewOrk. Yet the work In the office
or factory is usually more nerve
racklng because 1t is a constant repe-
tition of work at high speed--a ten
sion which racks brain and body and
from which there is no relaxation. On
the other hand the housekeeper, If she
be mother of q large family, is
weighted down with worries and cares
her hOusewoFk is beyond her
strength perhaps, if she studies her
work, puts her housework on busi-
ness basis and manages well, she can
easily take twenty minutes or half an
hour in the middle Of the day to COM
pletely relax.
When girl becomes woman, when
a woman becomes a mother, when wo-
men pass through the changes of mid
die life, are the three periods of
life when health and strength are most
needed to Withstand the pain and dis
tress often caused by severe organic
disturbances.
At these critical times women are
best fortified by the use of DR.. Pierce's
FavOrite Prescription, an old remedy
of proved worth that keeps the entire
female system perfectly regulated and
in excellent condition.
Mothers, If your daughters are weak,
lack ambition, are troubled with head
aches, lassitude, and are pale and
sickly, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion is just what they need to surely
bring the bloom of health to their
cheeks and make them strong and
healthy.
If you want specialist in women's
diseases to diagnose your case, consult
DR.. Pierce by letter, correspondence
nrivate and confidential, address DR..
