WORKING WOMEN
Let Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound HelpYou to BecomeWell.

Thousands of girls have to work
in homes, Offices, stores, mills or
factories who are physically unfit
for work, with often an aged or
invalid father or mother dependent
upon them for support. Standing
all day week in and week out, or
sitting in cramped positions a girl
often contracts some deranged con-
dition of her organic system which
calls halt to her progress and de-
mands restoration to health before
she can be of use to herself or
anyone else.
For these distressing weaknesses
and arrangements these girls have
found health to do their work in
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.

WHY WE GROW
NERVOUS
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

vEURASTHENIA, or ner-
III vous exhaustion, is regard
l. y ed in many high medical
quarters today as a depreciation
of nerve energy due to failure Of
the endocrine system to maintain
the nerve centers at a high state
of efficiency. By the endocrine
system is meant the various duct
less glands which manufacture
the internal secretions which.
when carried about by the blood,
affect our vital mechanisms very
decidedly.
All Of which will be under
stood more readily if we compare
the endocrine system to a dyna-
mo and the nervous system to
storage battery. The endocrine
system generates power, like
DYNAMO, and the nervous system
stores it up, discharging it as
needed to initiate and maintain
functional activity.
Now, If the nervous system Is
insufficiently charged with the
energy needed to control func-
tional activity the result is ner-
vous exhaustion.
While the outstanding symp-
tom is nerve fatigue, the whole
picture is that Of one who has
lost some of his power to per-
form perfectly any of the func-
tons essential to a comfortable
and efficient existence.
Nowadays, in addition to look
ing after the patiently personal
hygiene at all points, regulating
his diet. and giving him such
medicines as he may need, gland
ular products are employed in
order to impart new vigor to the
dynamo" In this way endocrine
harmony may be restored and a
proper balancing of the disturbed
rnechanisms effected.

it had been Richard!
She smiled as she appreciated
the difference between the two
men. Richard, were he her lover,
would be fearful lest she might
care for some one else. He would
probably write poetry, or say
things so beautiful that they
would move her heart to affec-
ton. No, it would not be a diff
cult matter to fall in love with
Richard. Yet, of course, she
cared more for her guardian than
for the young reformer.
She assured herself Of this
again when Rankin's name was
announced that evening. She had
not heard from Donald today. It
was like him to refrain from
thrusting himself upon her
thoughts after last evenings rev.
Citations. He would prefer that
she take time to think over their
conversation, untrammeled by his
influence.
It had been a rather stupid day.
The thrill produced by Donald's
declaration had subsidized. 1t had
left her with desire for a new
sensation. She was relieved when
Richard arrived.
II am delighted to see yous'
she exclaimed as she shook hands
with him. IT have been bored.

fancied slight constraint in his
manner. She supposed it was be-
cause Of their chance encounter
of last evening. She must ex-
plain that episode. Yesterday
morning she had resented the
idea of doing this. Now in Rich
ards magnetic presence it seemed
only just that she should make
some explanation to him.
Let us sit here by the win
dow" she suggested. Then, as he
took a chair near hers, she said:

at seeing me among the giddy
crowd last night, weren't you?"

[<"HAT'S the situation in
nutshell, young man"
- The successful man
of business watched Belden in
tently. but the young lawyer was
gazing out of the window of his
small office, far across the river.
You have no idea, Mr.. Jor-
dan," he replied, "how much I
appreciate your coming to me
with this case, but"
"Well?"
II scarcely know how to put it.
but 1 don't exactly like"
''If you do not want to handle
the matter, say 30 at once" said
Jordan abruptly.
1t was a hard struggle for Bel
den. Here was a man who could,
and probably would, give him
business enough to make him in
dependent, if he handled this
particular case to his clients
satisfaction. But all the ethics
of Belden's profession protested
against bringing the proposed. ac-
ton.
What is your objection to car
rying out my wishes?" asked the
older man. "Is there anything
dishonest in what I have sug-
gested?"
mo, sir-nothing dishonest.
But it seems to me. that it is
based on such technicality
that it would scarcely be proper
to go through with it. There are
many lawyers who would laugh
at me for taking rhis stand, and
perhaps / am foolish"
Then you refuse?" The mans
tone was expectant.
NO" exclaimed the young man
at last, rising and walking about
his office. II don't refuse. Let
me take a day to think the mat
ter over"
I'm going to have some
friends in to play bridge this
afternoon" remarked Mrs. Bel
den at lunch. 81 hope it won't
disturb you in your work"
'"They will be playing in
little while" he thought, as the
sound of laughter and conversa-
ton came to him from the front
rooms.
And before long, as he sat at
his table, with Mr.. Jordan's
papers in front of him, there
came a silence, and he knew that
the game was on. But every lit
tie while his thoughts would be
interrupted by a word from the
players. Carefully he picked up
a bulky document.
Here is my first difficulty"
he thought. What shall do
about this?'

next room.

HONOR AND THE GAME
THE STORY OF YOUNG LAWYERS SUCCESS

/ A faint smile crossed his face
as Belden examined another
paper.
II suppose" he muttered, that
If I got Jordan's business, I
should make more than I have
ever made in any one year."

voice.
He rose quickly and walked UP
and down his den.

Diamonds" came his mothers
voice.
Belden bundled up his papers,
tied them firmly together, and
placed them on the corner Of his
table.
He scoffed at the word.
There's only one thing, after
all, that makes a man happy. All
New York is striving for it, and I
might. just as we'll get on the
band wagon. OF course, l mean
Honor"
Belden stopped suddenly in his
walk. He had heard the word
what different one from that
which he had been about to pro-
nounce!
The bridge players were leaving
now. He walked down the hall
for farewell word.
Mother" he said, when the
last guest had gone, II am going
out for little while. Business"
The subway took him quickly
to Mr.. Jordan's home. He entered
the reception room calm and dig
nified.s
II hope, Mr.. Jordan" began
Belden, that 1 am not OBTAINING
you from dinner, but 1 could not
wait to see you tomorrow. It's
about that case"
There was an awkward pause.
From a room upstairs there came
low note of music.
Belden dropped his eyes.
"Mr. Jordan" he said at last,
II do hope that you will under
stand my motives when I tell you
that / simply cannot take that
case you gave me. l should never
respect myself if did something
which, though it would be &C.
cording to- the spirit of the times,
is contrary TOTO the ideals of my
profession. I'm very sorry"
The music had ceased and in
the silence there came the sound
of light footsteps on the stair
way. Then young girl stepped
into the room.
ooh, beg pardon" she cried.
Jordan turned.
Come in, Alice" he said gently.
II want you to meet young
friend of mine-Mr. Belden. See
if you can persuade him to re-
main and have dinner with U.S.
We have business to talk over
this evening. No." he continued,
addressing the young man, Il do
not want to discuss this case.
That is over; but / want to speak
about several other matters. My
personal counsel died recently,
and-well, / should like to talk
to you"
Belden took the girls hand.
"Im sure you will stay, Mr..
Belden," she said.
"I-I-I-should like
You See" continued Jordan,
Il hadn't fully appreciated the
facts of that case myself, but you
have made them very clear to
me. Now, 1 should like to have
you pass upon the way in which
my chef treats my daughter AMI
myself"
And" stammered Belden, II
should be glad of a chance to
tell you, about some of the good
points of bridge whist"

"No-nobody."
"Then will you let me try to

"I-I-think I love you al

Yet, after all, she reflected,
this fact could not work any i'm

AS she had thrilled at his
declaration of affection, she had
fancied that a new existence was
opened before her-that she
returned his affection. Now in
the light of the prosaic day she
was not sure that she did love
him enough to wish to marry
him. To be engaged was enc
thing. That would mean atten-
tions from him-lots of good
times with him, and a sense of
being grown-up. But settling
down in marriage did not appeal
to her. She had not yet seen
life. And, unless she was certain
that she loved him, Donald would
not consent to a betrothal.
He was a queer man. She could

LARGEST KNOWN FOSSIL BONE
Discovery Made in Northern New
Mexico Is Interesting for More
Than One Reason.

The largest shoulder blade Of any
animal on record, ancient or modern
has been discovered in San Juan basin
In northern New Mexico by John b
Reside, Jr., OF the United States
geological survey. This scapula bone
is part o. an immense extinct dinosauI
estimated to be over oue hundred fee,
long and markedly larger than an.
previously known to have existed.
Charles E. Gilmore Of the National
museum in Washington has assembled
the collection Of pieces of this fossil
scapula and has found that the total
length of the bone is more than five
feet, nearly as tall as man. This 10
dve times the length Of the shoulder
blade Of COW Of today.
The large fossil was found In the
part Of the earth that was deposited
and formed in the Upper Cretaceous
era. and this indicates to the geologiss
that the dinosaurs lived at q later
geologic time than they had previously
supposed. This fact has created more
stir in geological circles than the
size OF the fossil.
Dinosaurs were large reptiles with
long necks, little heads and brains,
and long tails. Their bodies look
somewhat like that of an diversified
