THE EFFICIENT WOMAN.

We hear a great deal nowadays about
the efficiency of women. In the novels of
% years ago, who ever heard woman
praised for her executive ability, force,
and energy in the sense that it is used to-
day? The frail, delicate, helpless ideal
of wOmanhOOd has passed away. How is
it possible to measure up to the ideals of
modern womanhood? In the first place,
we must keep out bodies III the best pos
sibe condition.
Thousands of women have succeeded
through daily baths, exercise in the fresh
air and Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound at the first sign of female

The Story of

%AS&8MSA Its area of
SSAsg% 45,129 square
~ miles is larger
|, than the combined New Eng
!, land states, except Maine, with
: New Jersey thrown in for good
. measure. Its name N e S
"Penn's Woodland and was so
named by King Charles II, who
granted this territory to the
Quaker, William Penn, and
named it in commemoratiOn of
Penn's father, who had been a
distinguished admiral and on
terms of peculiar friendship and
intimacy with the royal family.
: This grant was made in lieu of
10000, which the king owed Adj
miral Penn. On this basis it
originally cost about 81 a square
mile.
Pennsylvania has assumed
such an important place among
the states that it is often called
the Keystone state. This term
was probably derived originally
!. because her name al carved
III the keystone of the bridge
yer Rock creek, between Wash
ington and Georgetown. Later on
it was applied on account of the
great Importance of the state in
national elections. Its delega-
ton to congress totals 3S, sec
ond only in size to that from
New York, and Pennsylvania
accordingly has 3S presidential
electors.
William Penn first came over
to America in 1852. The follow
ing year he laid out the city of
Philadelphia, or "Brotherly
Love-" which was named after
a biblical city in Asia Minor. AS
Pennsylvania was the only col
ony without a seacoast, Penn
obtained from the duke of York
the control of Delaware, and I'M
til the Revolution these two
provinces were under the same
proprietary government. Quar-
rels with Maryland over bound
ares caused a formal survey
to be made by two surveyors, /
Mason and Dixon, and it was .
this which became famous dur !
ing the Civil war as the Mason ,
and Dixon line, the dividing !
mark between the slave and the I
free states.

With this idea in mind he consulted

compounded Il prescription that quickly
and completely bauished every sign and
symptom of rheumatism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to others
