“ To Young Women : — I suffered for
six years with dysmenorrhea (painful
periods), so much so that I dreaded
every month, as I knew it meant three
or four days of intense pain. The
doctor said this was due to an inflamed
condition of the uterine appendages
caused by repeated and neglected colds.
"If young ^irls only realized how
dangerous it is to take cold at this
critical time, much suffering would be
A spared them. Thank God for Lydia

weeks after I started to take it, I

the treatment, and was cured a month
later. I am like another person since.

THE WOODS’ CITIZENS
A FOREST IS MORE THAN A COL
LECTION OF TREES.
It Has Its Inhabitants Who Are Quite
as Interesting in Their Way
as Those of a City—How
to Study Them.
A forest is sometimes described as a
collection of trees, and the description
is about as enlightening as the state
ment that a city is a collection of build
ings. Like the city, the forest has a
vast population, without which it
would be as uninteresting as a city
without its citizens. We admire beau
tiful trees as we admire beautiful
buildings, for themselves, but more in
teresting to some of us at least are the
lives and works of the creatures which
inhabit the buildings and trees respec
tively. When I enter a forest in winter
or summer, I am always aware that 1
am not alone, though the air be so still
that one might hear the growing of the
trees. I know that I am watched by
many eyes, and that, at every footfall,
scores of ears are on the alert.
If you go into the w'oods in the early
spring, you may at first be under the
impression that there is little life about
you. But sit down awhile, and wait in
some spot where your figure will not
be too conspicuous, and you will prob
ably see some of the creatures whose
work you temporarily interrupted.
First of all, perhaps, you will hear a
faint, crisp drumming sound—the
sound made by a wood mouse, when he
drums with one fore foot on a dry leaf,
and after a short interval, you will
probably hear the answering “br-r-r-r”
of another mouse. Then, if you ate
quiet, you will see the dainty form of
the creature itself, with its tawny up
per parts, white belly and feet, its
large black eyes, its well-shaped, trans
lucent ears, its trembling whiskers, and
its long, silky tail, the latter held care
fully off the ground in a graceful curve.
Out from the shadow of a bunch of
withered leaves he skips, leaps lightly
over the ground to a wild cherry tree,
where he searches for and eventually
finds a cherry stone. A simple matter,
this hunting for and finding of a meal;
and yet to the mouse it was business—
very important business, since it must
be attended to faithfully every day if
he would avoid hunger or even starva
tion.
Next, perhaps you will be aware that
a red squirrel is peering out at you
from a knot-hole in an old tree. Keep
still, and. when he goes out to dine,
perhaps he will betray the whereabouts
of some store of nuts gathered months
ago. And these little hoards, how
many busy days they represent—days
at the end of which even the wiry legs
must have ached. I sometimes won
der if, at the end of autumn, the squir
rels and other creatures which have
been laying up food for the winter, feel
any satisfaction, askin to that which
is felt by farmers when their crops are
all garnered. And i wonder if. when
the stores of a red squirrel are discov
ered and eaten up by a pig, the owmer
does not have a feeling somewhat sim
ilar to that experienced by a thrifty
man whose savings are stolen by a
burglar.
And, perhaps close to you on the
ground, a pellet of matter fur may be
tray the presence of some large owl;
probably the barred owl which lives in
a hollow high up in the very tree
against which you lean. He, too, has
much business in tho wood, and his
business is with the mice, the squirrels,
the rabbits and the grouse—with any
living creature which he can kill. He
is an actor of many roles, this great
owl with the big round head, and the
dark-brown half-human eyes. Now he
is the midnight hunter, coursing the
startled rabbit through the forest
glades. Now ho is a poacher, killing
grouse within the boundaries of some
game preserve; and next night behold
him as the farmer’s ally, exterminating
rats and mice and moles. At one hour
lie is a murderer, slaying perhaps a
mother squirrel, whose babies will
slowly starve to death in their nest; at
the next he is an angel of mercy, end
ing as with lightning the sufferings of
some trapped or wounded creature,
which otherwise might linger in agony
for days.
Yes. there is always Important busi
ness going forward in the forest and
the better it is understood the more
important it seems. There are beavers
felling trees, making dams, flooding
‘‘acres of land, and building houses su
perior to those of certain tribes of men.
There are porcupines stripping and
killing a hundred trees apiece per an
num: woodchucks and chipmunks ex
cavating long, winding subterranean
tunnels, muskrats diving for mussels
and the roots of water plants, and mink
and otters Ashing in the streams and
ponds. All the year round, and at all
hours of the day and night, there are
citizens of the forest city plying their
trades, earning their "bread," and do
ing their parts toward the carrying out
of "the beautiful plan."
