G8RDIAL INVITATION
ADDRESSEDTO WORKING GIRLS
3£iss Barrows Tells How Mrs. Pink.
hum's Advice Helps Working Girls.
Girls who work
a r e particularly
susceptible to fe
rn a 1 e disorders,
especially those
who are obliged
to stand on their
feet from morn
ing until night in
stores or facto
ries.
Day in and day
out the girl toils,
and she is often the bread-winner of
the family. Whether she is sick or
well, whether it rains or shines, she
mast get to her place of employment,
perform the duties exacted of her—
smile and be agreeable.
Among this class the symptoms of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part of the
stomach. In consequence of frequent
•wetting of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss of appetite, until life is a burden.
All these symptoms point to a de
rangement of the female organism
which can he easily and promptly
eared by Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegeta
ble Compound.
Miss Abby F. Barrows, Nelsonville,
Athens Co., Ohio, tells what this great
medicine did for her. She writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :—
‘"I feel it my duty to tell you the good
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and Blood Purifier have done for me. Before
I took them I was very nervous, had dull
heed aches, pains in back, and i>eriods were
irregular, I had been to several doctors, and
they did me no good.
“'Voor medicine has made me well and
strong. 1 can do most any kind of work
without complaint, and my periods are all
right.
‘ i urn in better health than I ever was,
and I know it is all due to your remedies. X
recommend your advice and medicine to all
who suffer.”
It is to such girls that Mrs. Pink
ham holds out a helping hand and ex
tends a cordial invitation to correspond
with her. She is daughter-in-law of
Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five
years has been advising sick women
fret; of charge. Her long record of
success in treating woman’s ills makes
her letters of advice of untold value to
every ailing working girl. Address,
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass.

PHONETIC PHENOMENON
How the “0” Came to Be Left Out in
the Modernized Spelling
of “Phenix.”
They wore talking about spelling reform
and the idiosyncrasies of Rnglish sped.ng
in general, relates Success Magazine.
” I here s that very word ‘phonetic.’ said
one of the men: "that's a sample of Eng
lish spelling. The reformers call their
system Ihe ‘phonetic system,' and yet
they have to spell ‘phonetic’ with ,» ‘pho’
in order to let. people know what they
mean. 1 he very word that means ‘spelled
■as pronounced’ is as far from it as nos
sihle. '
“Now. now! drawled his friend, “you’re
too hard on the good old Rnglish *-peller.
A on ought to be proud of ’phonetic.1
W hy, that word is so trimmed down,
ami sawed ofl. and cut short, that. I
wouldn’t know it was Rnglish if I met it
alone on a blank page. You ought to
thank the language for the word. It is a
beautiful word. That ‘pho’ might have
been spelled like ‘dough’ and the ‘net’
like ‘ette’ in ‘rosette.’ and the ‘ie’ like
the ‘liq’ in liquor. That would be a
good old-style Rnglish word—pliough
netteiq. But it is coming! Phonetic spell
ing is coming! Look at tint word
‘phenix. It is spelled ‘phenix’ everywhere
now. and I remember it alwavs u ed to
be ‘phoenix.’ The ‘o’ has gone. That
shows— *
"Nothing!” said the objector. “What
doer it show? That the phenix is 4 bird.
Isn't the phenix a bird? Yes! Well,
that round thing you say was an o’ was
an egg. I hat s all. Twas just an egg,
and the phenix laid the egg. l’hat’s all.”
TRUE SOUTHERN CHIVALRY
Kentucky Colonel Didn't Apologize,
But He Came Very Near
Doing It.
Many stories have hern told of south
ern chivalry, hut the palm npears to go
to a story told by a former governor of
Kentucky while visiting Philadelphia re
cently.
According to the narrator, a genuine
Kentucky colonel boarded a street ear
which was very crowded, and somehow
lie stepped on the foot of a very pretty’
woman. Of course, the woman expected
the colonel to apologize, just as did
everybody else who heard her give a
mouselike squeal when the colonel’s foot
came down.
And she looked as though she expected
an apology, but the colonel, divining lien
thought, doffed his hat and said: "No,
madam. I’m not going to apologize. When
the good Lord was so gracious as to
make women so beautiful and charming j
and with such wonderfully small feet
that a man has to tramp on them ‘o find
them, then 1 don’t think that an apol
ogy-”
The compliment was too graceful for
the woman to resist, and all that fol
lowed was a smiling acknowledgment of
the colonel’s gallant speech.
BABY’S AWFUL HUMOR.
Thin Skin Formed Over Body and Un
der It Was Watery Blood—Cured in
One Week by Cuticura Remedies.
“When my little gi?l baby was one
week old she had a skin disease. A thin
skin formed over her body and under it 1
was watery blood, and when she was
washed it would burst and break. She was [
in that condition for weeks, and l tried
everything 1 could think of. but nothing
did her any good. When she was three
months old I took her to San Antonio to
see 1 doctor, but the doctor we wanted
to see was not- at home, so my sister gave
me a cake of Cuticura Soap and half a
box cf Cuticura Ointment, and told me
to use them, which 1 did in time. I used
them three times, and the humor began to
fade, and in one week she was sound and
well, and it lias never returned since.
I think every mother should keep the
Cuticura Remedies in the house. Mrs. H.
Aaron, Benton, Texas, July 3, 1905.”

Some men make such a big fuss about
planning for big things that they over
look the necessity of attending to the
little details.
He Lived for Something.
The successful man is not the idler,
the good fellow or the miser. He nas
accomplished something. He has an
aim in life and he is helping others to
reach their goal. The truly successful
man is better when lie leaves the
world than when he came into it, and
the world is a little better for his
having been here.—Spokane (Wash.)

His Own Business.
This anecdote was told by John Gra
ham Brooks: ‘‘One of the brightest re
plies I ever heard came from a lad
in my neighborhood, who was being
quizzed about his lather’s accomplish
ments, and was asked: ‘Sfthkt does
your father know, anyway?’ There
was no hesitation in the answer: ‘I
don't believe he knows much of any
thing except his own business; but he
knows that.’ ”

The way to reach, or to attain to
anything, is to bend oneself toward it

Don’t Poison Baby. v
FTORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have
* PAREGORIC! or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce
sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH
THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or
whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each
of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling
either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling
them “ poison.” The definition of “ narcotic ” is: “A medicine which relieves pain
and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convul
sions and death. ” The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised,
and sold under the names of “Drops,” “Cordials,” “Soothing Syrups,” etc. You
should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or
your physician know of what it is composed. CASTORIA DOES NOT CON
