NERVOUS DEBILITY
A Scranton Woman Tells How Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Strong.
Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
It is characterized by mental depression,
fits of the “bines,” or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The patient's eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies in toning up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane J. Davies, of No. 314 War
ren street, Scranton, Pa., says: “ Some
years ago I became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became so debilitated that I felt
wretched. I could not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid in the morning us I was when I
went to bed. My head ached in the
morning and often there was a pain in
my right side which was worse when I
sat down. My nerves wore on edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and I was generally miserable. Then I
decided to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Pale People, as my husband bad taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now’ I have no more
pain in my side, no more headaches, I
sleep well and feel Strong and able to
do my work.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men or
women who are slipping into a hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the root
of all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six
boxes for $J.50, by the Dr. Williams’
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y.
Origin of England's National Debt.
England’s national debt originated
In the reign of Wililam 111., whose
first loan was obtained in 1694.
Physician Set Hard Task.
"Medicine won't help you any,” the
doctor told his patient. "What you
need is a complete change of living.
Get away to some quiet country place
for a month. Go to bed early, eat
more roast beef, drink plenty of good,
rich milk and smoke just one cigar a
day.” A month later the patient
walked into the doctor’s office. He
looked like a new man, and the doc
tor told him so. “Yes, doctor, your
advice certainly did the business. I
went to bed early and did all the oth
er things you told me. But, say, doc->
tor, that one cigar a day almost killed
me at first. It’s no joke starling in to
smoke at my time of life.”
AT THE SUMMER HOTEL.
Experience of Winston Churchill Fa
miliar to Many.
Winston Churchill in an address
that he made in Concord recently
praised the New Hampshire farmer.
"Ours,” he said, "is a state fitted
above all others for a summer resort.
New Hampshire, with its superb cli
mate, its mountains, its lakes and
forests, will in a generation or two
be one great pleasure ground—a vast
park, dotted with beautiful villas, to
which will come each summer fam
ilies from all parts of America.
"In anticipation of this many farm
ers are learning to conduct hotels.
They are building cottages for sum
mer visitors. Some of them, too, are
taking boarders.
“And I am glad to say that the New
Hampshire farmer is in a position to
take boarders, because, unlike the
farmers in other states that I could
name, he does not send all his good
things to the city. I once boarded at
a fine big farm, but the fare was
wretched—canned vegetables, con
densed milk and so on.
“ ‘By Jove,’ I said one morning at
breakfast, as I pushed my egg cup
from me, ‘these eggs are really not
as fresh as those I get in New York.’
My farmer host snorted.
“ ‘That's rank prejudice on your
part, Mr. Churchill,’ he said. ‘It’s
from New York that all our egga
come.’ ”
LOOSE TEETH
Made Sound by Eating Grape-Nuts.
Proper food nourishes every part of
the body, because Nature selects the
different, materials from the food we
eat, to build bone, nerve, brain, mus
cle, teeth, etc.
All we need is to eat the right kind
of food slowly, chewing it well—our
digestive organs take it up into the
blood and the blood carries it all
through the body, to every little nook
and corner.
If some one w'ould ask you, “Is
Grape-Nuts good for loose teeth?”
you'd probably say, “No, I dos t see
how it could be.” But a woman in
Ontario writes:
“For the past two years I have used
Grape-Nuts Food with most excellent
results. It seems to take the place
of medicine in many ways, builds up
the nerves and restores the health
generally.
“A little Grape-Nuts taken before re
tiring soothes my nerves and gives
sound sleep.” (Because it relieve ir
ritability of the stomach nerves, being
a predigested food.)
"Before I used Grape-Nuts my teeth
were loose in the gums. They were so
bad I was afraid they would some day
all fall out. Since I have used Grape
Nuts I have not been bothered any
more with loose teeth.
“All desire for pastry has disappear
ed and I have gained in health, weight
and happiness since I began to use
Grape-Nuts.” Name given by Postum

USE FOR MIRRORS.
CAN B.v MADE TO SEEM TO IN
CREASE SIZE OF ROOM.
A Little Care Taken in the Placing of
Them Will Frequently Work
Wonders—Should Reflect
Door or Window.
To increase the apparent size of a
room there is nothing better than the
judicious use of mirrors.
Supposing that you have a glass
about five feet high and two wide, in
a wooden frame, you may employ it
most decoratively in a sitting room.
Mount it about a couple of feet from
the floor and arrange in front of it a
row of ferns, palms or other foliage
plants, concealing the pots with a
handsome box, filled in at the top with
fresh moss.
The mirror should be placed either
where it will reflect the view from
the window or else opposite the en
trance of the room, so that when the
door is opened one may see the hall,
or passage beyond, reflected in it. Of
course, the room will not be any larger
really, but the fact that it wljl appear
so is a great point, for, as a friend of
my own says, "If we cannot have a
pleasant reality at least let us have a
pleasant illusion,’’
1 know one house where the dining
room is long and dark, and the only
window gives a very insufficient light,
says a writer in the Chicago American.
Here an immense improvement was
effected by placing a good mirror over
the sideboard at the end of the room
opposite the window.
This reflected the light and the land
scape seen from the window, with the
result that one was almost deluded
into the belief that the room had two
windows, and one certainly was not
conscious of the want of an outlet.
TRIO OF MENU FEATURES.
Good Dishes for a Small Luncheon or
Family Meal.
Boil rice in salted water until ten
der; then drain and mix in while hot
one teaspoon! ul of butter; then pout
over a sirup in which pears have
been boiled, a little lemon juice and
preserved ginger being added. Mold
up cn a dish and set away to become
cold. Arrange the cooked fruit about
the mold and in the center of each
half place a little whipped cream.
A combination of cheeses makes a
novel stuffing for celery. Equal parts
of Roquefort, Camembert and cream
cheese are crushed together in a mor
tar. Sherry is added until the mix
ture is of the consistency of thick
mayonnaise. This is then spread in
the stalks of celery, which have been
previously separated and trimmed, if
needed, to suitable lengths.
Cook one cupful fine cut celery in
boiling salted water until tender, then
drain. Place a half pint of oysters in
their own liquor in a saucepan over
the fire and cook until plumped, sea
son with saltspoonful salt and a lit
tle less pepper. Mix a teaspoonful flour
with a tablespoonful butter, stir into
the oysters and add a quarter cup rich
milk. Add the celery to the oysters,
then pour over buttered tcast.
Pretty Curtains.
Very effective curtains may be made
that are not forever in need of the
washtub and stretching poles, as are
those of muslin and lace. Buy a thin
grade of glass-cloth for about 25 cents
a yard. Cut it to hang straight from
the top of the window on each side,
with a deep hem at the bottom.
Then make a stenciled border across
the bottom, or reaching one-half way
up the curtain, of a simple design.
Apply the color over the design with
navy blue diamond dye. Do not trou
ble yourself to boil it. Simply mix a
spoonful of the dye with water. These
curtains will not wash, but they re
main clean for a considerable time,
and may be easily shaken to free them
from dust and pressed with an iron.
The Empire Comb.
The old-fashioned empire comb in
plain sh.'ll has once more returned
to fashionable favor. Just at present
it seems to be the stylish caprice for
women with blonde or light brown
tresses to wear these and their side
combs in dark tortoise shell.
The dark-haired sisterhood prefer
the amber combs, which show to such
an advantage by force of contrast.
The plain part of these combs is
about two inches wide.
They are most attractive when worn
rather high in the hair close to the
knot.
Stiffness in hair-dressing seems the
thing to be especially avoided, an easy
natural style being preferable.
Physical Culture.
It should give a perfectly erect,
poised figure.
A straight, flat back.
A broad, deep and capacious chest.
Uplifted, flexible and harmonious
development of all the muscles.
Perfect ease and grace of movement.
Marked muscular powers and endur
ance.
Splendid health.
Bright, sparkling eye3
Perfect digestion.
A love of activity.
A voice of notable, clear quality and
power
Bakeo Tomatoes Stuffed With Rice.
Cut u thin slice from the blossom
end of the tomato, take out the seed
and fill with boiled rice and a little
butter; bake one-half hour. Chopped
meat added to rice is also good. To
matoes stuffed with a dressing cf
bread, butter and seasoning is fine.
NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor—Hair
Began to Fall Out—Wonderful Re
sult from Cuticura Remedies.
“About the latter part of July my
whole body began to itch. I did not
take much notice of it at first, but it
began to get worse all the time, and
then 1 began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but I became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as I would get
In bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and it
was not long before I could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and I
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks I would take a hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and I
kept getting better, and by the time
I used four boxes of Cuticura I was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling cut. D. E. Rlankenship, 319

What He Mcst Wished For.
John Fiske. the American historian,
was an ardent lover of music and hini
soll' no mean musician. Furthermore,
he was extremely corpulent and felt
the hot weather painfully. He was
once delivering a course of lectures at
a summer school in a small city of the
middle west. The heat was terrific
“and adjoining the house where the
lecturer stayed was a church where
an ill-matched but zealous “quartet"
practiced and performed during all
hours of the torrid afternoons and
evenings. One evening, seeing the fa
mous man sit for a time unoccupied
and apparently oppressed by this com
bined affliction, the young daughter of
his hostess attempted to divert him by
offering him a new novel, then just be
coming popular. “I think ‘The Choir
Invisible’ is perfectly splendid, Mr.
Fiske," said she. “Would'n you like
to read it?” The historian put the
book aside. "My dear young lady,”
said he, “the only choir in the world
in which I could feel any interest at
this moment would be the choir in
audible.” _
TIRED BACKS.
The kidneys have a great work to
do in keeping the blood pure. When
they get out of or
der it causes back
ache, headaches,
dizziness, languor
and distressing urin
ary troubles. Keep
the kidneys well
and all these suf
ferings will be
saved you. Mrs.
S. A. Moore, pro
prietor of a res
taurant at Waterville, Mo., says:
"Before using Doan's Kidney Pills I
suffered everything from kidney trou
bles for a year and a half. I had pain
in the back and head, and almost con
tinous in the loins and felt weary
all the time. A few doses of Doan’s
Kidney Pills brought great relief, and
I kept on taking them until in a short
time I was cured. I think Doan’s Kid
ney Pills wonderful."
