What Il the Cause Of
Backache?
BY DOCTOR CORNELL

Backache Is perhaps the most COM
mon ailment from which women suf-
fer. Rarely do you find anybody FRI,
from it. Sometimes the cause is OBJ
scure, but DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, NY,
n high medical authority, says the
cause Is very often form Of cstarrh
that settles IN the delicate membranes
Of the feminine organs. When these
organs are inflamed, the first symp-
tom is backache, accompanied By bear
ing down sensations, weakness, un-
healthy discharges, irregularity, pain
ful ueriods, irritation, headache ald
a general rundown condition. Any
woman in this condition is to be pit.
led, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is a separate and
distinct medicine for women.
It is made of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol OF opiate of any kind, for
Dr Pierce uses nothing else in his pre-
ecription. Favorite Prescription is nat
urai remedy for women, for the vegetable
orowths of which it is made seem to have
been intended by Nature for that very
PURPOSE. Thousands of girls and women,
Young and old, have taken it, and thousands
have written grateful letters to Dr. Pierce
saving Il made them well. In taking
Favorite Prescription, it is reassuring to
know that it goes straight to the cause OF
the trouble. There is but one way to
overcome sickness, and that is to overcome
the cause. That is precisely what Favor
tie Prescription is intended to do:
Send lOc for trial pkg. of Tablets.
Address Invalids' Hotel, Buffflo, n. Y.
Constipated women, as well as men, are
advised by DR.. Pierce to take his Pleasant
Pellets. They are just splendid sor cos
tiveness.

tenelle Boulevard
Dear Busy Bees: | want to tell
you about my cousin and his Christ
mas letter to his dad. General
Pershing named November "a, 1918,
Fathers day and requested every
soldier of the A. E. F. in France to
write to father that day so he Gath
er) would get letter for Christmas.
My cousin is sergeant in the Fifth
Nebraska engineers and when he
went TO the front he had to go ahead
of the troops and put up barbed
wire. Morning and night he had to
cross a place called Death Valley
because Fritz threw shells in there
all day and all night. November 10
they received orders at 2:30 a. m. to
go over the top and cut the wire in
front OF the Hindenburg line. They
liked up to where the drive started.
Then the barrage commenced and
the noise was terrific. By II a. m.
Fritz had backed off the firing line
SO our big guns couldn't reach him
Since the armistic was signed he has
been busy helping 20 clear the roads
OF obstacles so the Third army could
move without delay to the towns
they were to occupy.
am glad my cousin was able to
do his heap big bit for Uncle
Sam.

Tales From the Shelf

Don't you get tired OF being
washed" she asked politely.
Don't YOU" the cup turned the
question back
"Well--l do little" Betsy ad
mitted cautiously. but should hate
taking a bath three times a day as
you do"
1T is rather weakening, and some
times the water is so hot ii fairly
crinkes my finish. You know. we
have a glazed finish" the saucer
gave the Information impressively,
then lapsed into silence.
You'll remember about the han
dies? feel my voice going. Remem-
her that for fine china to be cracked
is the saddest sort OF happening.
Why, a cup without a handle has
absolutely no standing at all. Must
spend the res, OF its life measuring
flour or sugar or filled with soap or
greasep The cup shuddered
Not only that-they become ref
ugees, with no place in the china
shelf-stuck in corner of the kitch
en- cupboard Oh the bitter shame
OF it. Imagine. my dear Betsy, how
you would feel, separated from your
family forever, and forced to sleep
in the cellarl Imagine how--you--
would"
The cups voice had been growing
fainter and fainter and finally stop
ped altogether, though Betsy leaned
way over to hear the rest of the SEN
tence,
She gave it a kind little pat, Don't
you worry, I'll never drop you
again" she whispered. Much to her
surprise she found that the dishes
were done. She had worked SO fast
while listening to the cup-and-sauc-
er conversation that it had just taken
no time at all She put them all care
fully back on the shelf.
Have a good time, my dears, she
remarked as she closed the door.
And what do you think OF that, dears
and ducks.

A Christmas Forager.

By Maude Berniece Young, Age IL, Bel
videre. Neb.
Dear Busy Bees: This is my first
letter to you. | saw so many nice
letters in the paper that | thought
| would write too.
1t was the day before Christmas.
Little Grace had been helping dec
crate the Christmas tree at school
As she was going along the street
whom should she meet but her
brother Bob. why, hello, Bob, a."
she exclaimed. Il was so afraid you
wouldn't get here in time for the
tree" whats mother been do
ing?" questioned the boy. oh,
she's been making me a new dress
and helping me with the presents. .
Why, have you been buying pres
&nts?" oh. yes, for all the girls
at school. I'm sure I'll get some
some from them" And mother?"
oh, father will get her some
thing" you mustn't forget your
father and mother" and taking a
S. bill from his pocket he tossed it
to her and then went running down
the road. She stood still for an
instant. Then she went in the store
undecided what to buy. She looked
at hat, some shoes, and then some
dress goods. Yes, that will do.
FIVE yards please" She went on
buying presents until her IS were
gone, How am | ever going to
get all these home" thought the
girl. She put them in a sack and
hid them in the barn under the hay.
She excused herself quite early and
went to her room to think over the
plan. She hadn't been in bed over
ten minutes when She happened to
think that father and mother were
going to grandma's for Christmas.
She jumped out of bed, put on her
shoes and was soon ready to start.
She hung her sack on the saddle.

I'll never finishi walled Betsy
looking Grossly at the big pile OF
dinner dishes.
MY, how | wish Thursday would
never come" She tied on a big APP
ron and began rafting the dishes
into untidy piles, keeping on eye on
the kitchen clock all the while. Sud
denly one OF the cups she had set
on the edge of the table fell, but was
saved by Betsy's quick hand.
oh, my dear, you saved my lie!
I'm trembling to my very edges.
The voice came right out of the
cup. and Betsy was SO startled that
she almost dropped 1t again.
ITO be broken to bits would not
have been so bad, but to have lost
my handlc--what disgrace! Ban
! ishment from my family and hard
labor for the rest of my life"
At this a saucer which had been
placed on top OF pile, raised itself a
few inches and three coffee drop
tears spattered down its face.
ooh, be careful, my love; what
would become of me if you were
broken? Exile; long terms in the re-
| frigerator, association with common
croekery. Oh, to what is the odd
saucer not Subjected"
why, you poor things. didn't
know you could talk! Oh, I'll be ever
so careful!' Betsy put the cup down
beside the saucer and stared at them
with big eyes.
Shall | continue the converse
| tom she heard il remark TO the
cup.
"Oh, please do" Betsy answered,
before the cup had time to, and I'll
wash you as nicely as | can"
well" the cup edged little clos
er, you know we are all in the serV-
ice"
"The china service, my love; you
should be more explicit" the saucer
put in. This was certainly exciting,
and Betsy picked up the dishes very
carefully and washed them as quietly
as she could, SO that she could hear
the quaint little couple who, now
that they were started, chatted like
two people at tea. Betty fancied the
rest of the dishes looked at her
knowingly, but none of the others
joined in the conversation.
They're shy" the cup explained
in whisper; but we cups and saul
GERS are sociable folk and are used
TO elegant discourse. Humans al
ways warm up when we come on,
and you have no idea how proud we
are OF our standing
Remember the evening the meat
| platter sang and the bread and but
ter plates did the morning roll-call
for u.s." she remarked to her hus-
band, and theNtwo began to chuckle
at the recollection.
What did it sing" asked Betty,
taking sly peep at the platter, who
grew SO confused that it nearly slid
from the tray.
"Sing it for her encouraged the
saucer, and after some more COAX
ing, the cup in thin, high voice, did
sing. HilQ lilS Is WHdt SIG SdHS,

"Out on a sea of gravy,

waving the dish-towel in the direc-

ITS a good thing / came" she said
Someone has left the door open
and the wind will tear everything
to pieces" She jumped off the
horse and tied him to tree and
went inside. There stood the tree
all glittering in the moonlight.
Something was in the corner. 1t
was a bear. She screamed and ran
for the door but her dress was
caught and she could get no farth-
er. The bear went on eating candy.
When she thought he wasn't look
ing she opened the door but it
squeaked and the bear saw her and
began to run. She started for the
horse but the bear was coming so
she ran for a tree and climbed it.
1t was useless to scream and she
thought "Oh, if | had only been as
thoughtful as Bob this would never
have happened" Her brother soon
came and she told him her story,
Come with me-" said Bob, and
this will be our secret" And they
disappeared through the open door

The Lesson of the Dime.

By Hazel Clugeyage, Aged Is, Platts-
mouth, Neb.
Jennie and Alice were neighbors
and Jennie's parents were rich while
Alice's were poor. They attended a
public speaking at the library for the
relief OF the starving Armenian wo-
men and children. Alice was a noble
child and did what she could to help
others She had dime with which
to buy salve for her sore hand but
decided that she would give the 10
cents for the great cause. Jennie
was selfish, SO she spent her money
for candy and ice cream.
That night when 5 { was sleeping
she dreamed of Sc ng the suffer
ing children and how Alice's little
dune saved one little life. Next
morning she was sad, no one knew
why save she alone. Her father
gave her some money to buy candy
but she went to town and gave all,
her money to the Armenian relief,
Just then she remembered what
Jesus said, 1T is more blessed to
give than to receive" This was a
lesson to Jennie and she always
gave cheerfully after that
