AFTER SIX YEARS
OF SUFFERING
Woman Made Well by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
Columbus, Ohio. "I had almost given
up. I had been sick for six years with
temale troubles and
nervousness. I had
a pain in my right
side and could not
eat anything with
out hurting my
stomach. I could
not drink cold water
at all nor eat any
kind of raw fruit,
nor fresh meat nor
chicken. From 178
Dounds I went to
118 and would get so weak at times that
I fell over. I began to take Lydia E,
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
ten days later I could eat and it did not
hurt my stomach, I have taken the
medicine ever since and I feel like a
new woman. I now weigh 127 pounds
80 you can see what it has done for me
already. My husband says he knows
your medicine has saved my life."

and herbs needed to restore health and
strength to the weakened organs of the

LITERATURE; AND HOW TO USE IT.
(The following paper by Mrs. Laura
Rand, was read before a meeting of
the Barton W. C. T. U.)
"Of making many books there is no
end," said the inspired writer, and in
this age of the world the uninspired
writer knows the truth that the wise
son of David uttered so many centuries
ago.
The literature of today may be clas
sified as most things are in popular
parlance "Good, bad, and indifferent.
It is of the good literature that we
are to consider mostly in this paper.
There are so many special departments
of good literature that it will not be
possible to consider them all, but we
will take the departments that interest
or should interest all.
RELIGIOUS LITERATURE.
The one book that stands ahead of
all others is the iBible, the inspired
Book. It is a wonderful book, a real
"light unto our feet and a lamp unto
our path.' Each one of us ought to read
a few verses in. God's book everyday
and learn one verse each day. Aside
from the influence on our spiritual life
it has an influence upon our intellectual
life. There comes to my thought as
I write this, a little incident that hap
pened to a friend of mine some years
ago. She was working for a short
time at the same place with a young
French girl and they worked side by
side. One day the young girl said to
my friend: -"Would it be possible for
you to get me a French Bible? I have
always wanted one but never have
been able to get it." That evening
the lady carried a French Bible to her
young friend. The next morning as
the lady approached the place where
they worked, she saw her young friend
standing in the open door, the precious
book open in her hands and as the lady
approached the girl said. "O hurry,
do hurry! I have found tbe most
beautiful thing that was ever written !
You surely could not have known that
it was in the Bible or you would have
told me about it before. Listen !"
And then the girl read in the beautiful
French language the story of the
Beatitudes. Yes, the Bible is a beau
tiful book !
Then there are multitudes of reli
gious books, many of them written by
eminent authors, that appeal to our
spiritual and intellectual welfare.
These good books are almost exhaust
less. How shall we use them? By
getting one thought, one idea every
day, think upon it, until it becomes a
knowledge to us. Frances E. Willard,
whose memory we venerate, had a
rule not to let a day pass without
learning one new thought, some quota
tion that she never forgot. Those who
had the privilege of hearing her,
whether in address or in conversation,
often wondered at the apt quotation
that always fitted so admirably her
theme. When we learned her habit of
acquiring some new thought every day,
we understood what a help it must have
been to this great and gifted woman.
And this is a benefit to us who may
not be great and gifted. It will be to
us who have not genius a helping stone
in all our walks of life. It will help
us to think of good things. It will
give us an interest in the great field of
literature" that will abide with us all
through life.
PHYSICAL CULTURE.
Then there is at the present time
much literature that tells us how to
care for the body. It is said that there
has been a gain in the longevity of
life. If we live a few years longer
than our ancestors, it doubtless is
because we know better how to care
for our bodies than they did. There is
scarcely a magazine published that
does not have at least one article upon
some phase of the health question, ,
which of course includes foods and
drinks. This has been especially valu
able to mothers in the care of their
children. I opened a magazine yester
day and the first article that riveted
my attention was entitled, "A Mother
as a Nurse." There followed an illus
trated article giving the way a mother
could care for. her sick child. In an
other part of the magazine was a menu
given that would be of adaptability to
the average house wife. We have
literature in abundance that is for our
moral, intellectual and physical good.
The best rendering of each is to study
a single thought each day, for several
days until it has become an education
to us. Gradually in this way, one will
become learned on all these important
subjects. Body, mind and soul are so
connected and hold such a relation to
each other that one can scarcely be
benefited without helping the others.
FICTION.
There is another class of literature,
probably read more than any other,
fiction, that is of value if rightly read.
The great trouble with most of us is
that we allow the novel to drive out our
interest in all other kinds of good liter
ature. The novel, as a rule, should be
a recreation, not an absorption. Fasci
nating, but not to the exclusion of all
other reading. A judicious amount of
fiction is good for us, but care must be
taken that it does not absorb us. I
once knew a very intellectual woman
who acquired the novel reading mania
to such an extent that she would leave
her breakfast table standing, with
dishes unwashed, until it was time to
get dinner, while she would sit poring
over novels. She not only neglected
her house, but also her family. There
are good novels that while they enter
tain, also elevate. Read novels, but
read them wisely.
MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS.
The world is full of this class of
literature. Magazines are an impor
tant class, combining all phases of
good reading, with an occasional one
that has to be suppressed. The Ameri
can world has been very good in look
mg after bad literature. That man in
New York, who recently died, spent
many years of his long life in protect
ing young people from pernicious liter
ature. I refer to Anthony Comstock.
Someone will take his place and the
good work will go on. Of the daily
papers that are printed by the millions
we have a good use. We, can get the
daily news as it comes from all parts
of the world in the daily paper, but we
cannot afford to spend our time and
strength in filling our minds with the
daily murders, divorces, and such
classes of sensational reading with
which our daily papers are filled. Read
the wholesome parts of the papers but
let the unwholesome go unread. I
think the time will come when our
papers will be required by .law to omit!
so much that is degrading.
Then we have our religious papers
that are exceedingly valuable to us.
BAD LITERATURE.
It is hardly necessary to speak of
this class of literature to this audience.
There are many bad books but we let
them alone. And yet our children do
sometimes find them. We cannot be
too careful in this direction.
Literature and how to use it ! This
is agreat theme, worthy of the eminent
men and women who have made a
study of it for a lifetime.
In addition to what I have already
said I make the following suggestions :
1. Always keep a notebook for
reference notes when you read These
notebooks are valuable. You will thus
be able to keep within touch what will
be of value to you.
2. Remember to read choice books
slowly and carefully. The especially
good thoughts that you wish to retain,
or memorize, either copy them in your
notebook, or if the book is your own,
place in the notebook the place and
paragraph where it may be found.
3 If you are reading simply for
entertainment, still cling to your note
book. The book may have a choice
thought to copy.
4. Always give the author's name
to every quotation if you can, as it
may be valuable for you to know, if
you ever quote it, who the author is.
It was a wise man who years ago said
to those who came to him to learn
wisdom, "Read, and you will know"
The right kind of reading and the right
way of reading will make one wise.
As that eminent man said years ago.
ro we say today, "Read, and you will
know !"
CALEDONIA COUNTY.
All roads will lead to St. Johnsbury,
May 17-20, when the manufacturers
and merchants of that town give an
industrial exposition that will show not
only "made in St Johnsbury" products,
but many of the articles handled by the
merchants as well. Over 100 exhibitors
have secured space in the exposition
building, including a dozen different
automobile dealers, and the 20,000
square feet of floor space has all been
taken. Some of the features of the
week include a big automobile parade,
two ball games and for the closing
night a street carnival with all its
unique and fascinating features. Edu
cational exhibits, music, food demon
strations, and many other features will
combine to make the exposition the
best of its kind ever held in the state.
The creditors of Griswold & Mac
Kinnon of St. Johnsbury, wholesale
grain dealers, have appointed Jonas H.
Brooks and Harry Blodgett trustees to
handle the property and dispose of the
stock on hand. They have authority
to make any arrangements about the
continuance of the business and it is
thought that bankruptcy proceedings
will not be brought against the con
cern, A statement of the liabilities
shows that the concern has outstand
ing debts of about $190,000 The assets
are $108,000. Liabilities of $167,000 are
distributed among 12 banks in Vermont
and New Hampshire, none of which
will be seriously affected. The firm of
Griswold & MacKinnon, is one of the
best known wholesale grain houses in
Vermont Captain E. F. Griswold, the
senior member of the firm, is one of
St. Johnsbury's oldest business men.
He has recently returned from Mont
real, where he underwent an operation
on his eyes, but the nervous shock
incident to the impending failure of
this concern has caused a complete
breakdown and he is now in Brightlook
hospital, suffering total blindness.
