You won’t tell your family doctor
the whole story about your private
Illness — you are too modest. You
need not be afraid to tell Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass., the things you
could not explain to the doctor. Your
letter will be held in the strictest con
fidence. From her vast correspond
ence with-sick women during the
past thirty years she may have
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. Such letters as the fol

tablish beyond a doubt the power of
LYDIA E.PINKHAM’S
VEGETABLE COMPOUND
to conquer all female diseases.
Mrs. Norman R. Barndt, of Allen
'town, Pa., writes:
“ Ever since X was sixteen years oi
age I had suffered from an organic de
rangement and female weakness; in
consequence I had dreadful headaches
and was extremely nervous. My physi
cian said I must go through an opera
tion to get well. A friend told me
about Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable
Compound, and I took it and wrote you
for advice, following your directions
carefully, and thanks to you I am to
day a well woman, and I am telling
all my friends of my experience.”
FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs, has been the
standard remedy for female ills,
and has positively cured thousands of
women who have been troubled with
displacements, inflammation, ulcera
tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, that bear

tion, dizziness,ornervousprostration.
Handshaking.
In the barbarous days of old, when
every man had to watch carefully
over his own safety, when two per
sons met they offered each to the
other the_ right hand, the hand that
wields the club, sword, knife or othei
weapon oi! war. Each did this to
show that the hand was' empty, and
that, therefore, no trouble needed to
be feared. The handshake was the
treaty of peace—in a word, the way
they had of showing each other that
they meant to be friendly.—The

“I had eczema on my hands for about
seven years and during that time 1 had
used several so-called remedies, together
with physicians’ and druggists’ prescrip
tions. The disease was so bad on my
hands that 1 could lay a slate-pencil in one
of the cracks and a rule placed across the
hand would not touch the pencil. 1 kept
using remedy after remedy, and while some
gave partial relief, none relieved as much
as did the first box of Cuticura Ointment.
I made a purchase of Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and my hands were perfectly
cured after two boxes of Cuticura Oint
ment and one cake of Soap were used. W

sTHE BAG-OF-BEANS TESTj
“Very well,” remarked Mr. Henry
Thurston, looking up from his desk,
where he was just signing a check.
So they’ve passed the punctual and
honesty tests! Now try them on the
bag of beans. A fellow will never
make a success in our business if he
gets cross and shows temper over
trifling mishaps and unavoidable ac
cidents. And one is always meeting
with just such annoyances in work
of this kind. The one who proves
himself good natured at the bursting
of the bag—if either does—may be
told that he isengaged at $7 a week.”
Mr. Thurston paused and took up
his pen.
“Wait a minute,” quickly, after a
moment’s reflection. “Be sure there’s
enough water on the counter to thor
oughly wet the bottom of the bags.
Then, too, try one of them this after
noon, and the other at the same time
to-morrow. It might hardly be a fair
test of their dispositions to make use
of it on either of the two boys in the
morning. One sort of feels better
natured then, you know, any way.”
Mr. Nelson, head clerk in the big
wholesale and retail establishment of
Thurston & Lincoln, left the comfort
ably furnished‘office of the firm, and
went back to the busy delivery de
partment.
There were three qualifications
which the head of the establishment
insisted that each employe of the
company should possess and strictly
live up to. These were honesty,
punctuality and wholesome good nat
ure. Boys had been known to lose
their positions there, owing to their
getting angry over mere trifles. Mr.
Thurston felt that a boy’s usefulness
to the firm depended on an unruffled
disposition quite as much as it did
on punctuality and honesty.
The constant growth and enlarge
ment of Thurston & Lincoln’s busi
ness made it necessary from time to
time to increase their working force
accordingly. And it was the custom
of the company to promote at such
times the men and boys already in
their employ, leaving to be filled by
the new hands only the “bottom
down” places, as the clerks charac
teristically called them.
One of the men had just now been
sent out on the road as a traveling
salesman — the firm did a large
wholesale business—causing, after a
rearrangement of the force, a vacan
cy in the delivery department.
Harold Stephenson and his cousin,
Willis Fuller, had both applied for
the position, and they of all the many
applicants had passed the punctuality
and honesty tests, and now it lay be
tween the two boys as to which one
would be successful in obtaining the
desired situation.
Thurston & Lincoln had the repu
tation of being the most desirable
firm with which to hold a job in the
large and thriving village of Muncie.
"I s'pose it’s selfish—I admit it—
but I hope old man Thurston will
give me the place,” declared Harold
Stephenson, with an air of careless
disrespect. He was talking with
Willis over their prospects the gen
ing before the first bag-of-beans test.
“Of course, I'd like for you to have
it, too, but .you wouldn’t mind losing
it as much as I would. This proba
tion 'stunt’ of his—I don’t imagine
Mr. Lincoln has anything to do with
it—is a queer wrinkle! I call it t
piece of downright foolishness. i
don’t know how you regard it.”
“It gives them a chance to find out
whether they want a fellow or not,"
replied Willis, considerately. "For
my part I think it’s a pretty good
scheme. Of course it keeps a fellow
in suspense—and all that.”
“Which one of us do you s’pose
will 'land’ the job, anyhow? Give
us your opinion." And Harold
picked up a chip and began whittling
aimlessly.
1 naven t the least idea—but one
of us. And I'm rather proud that
we've been singled out from all the
other fellows who've made applica
tion.^ There were twenty at- least
who applied for the place.”
"More’n that!” exclaimed Harold.
“Not very many more. And, if
they give it to you, I stand a show of
getting the next place when a va
cancy occurs. I won't be disappoint
ed, though; I don't very well see how
I could if you get it.”
"I’ve been trying hard enough,”
and Harold put up his jackknife.
“After I’m once sure of the job, you
bet your life I won't be as painstak
ing over every little thing as I've
been this week> It’s just killing on a
fellow to be so punctual and all that
kind of nonsense—a person couldn't
stand it long.”
He'd have to while he worked for
Thurston & Lincoln,” remarked Wil
lis, quietly. “And it’s no more'n
right he should.”
“Well, you can, if you get tbe
place. You'd be a fool, though.”
The two boys, while closely re
lated, were entirely different in dis
position and temperament. Harold's
character was well described by their
Uncle Thomas as Liing one of “fits
1 —
[ and starts." Willis, though not sc
smart ip many ways, was a steady
going, earnest fellow, always “mak
ing good” ' the responsibilities laid
upon him.
Willis Fuller was sent out with
one of the delivery wagons the next
afternoon, the afternoon of the first
bag-of-beans test, it being the pur
pose to have him absent from the
store at the time of Harold’s trial.
A four-quart bag of beans had been
left on the counter in one end of the
store, placed as though by accident in
a small amount of water.
Harold was helping one of the
clerks put up an order for the after
noon’s delivery, when Mr. Nelsoi^
called from the door where he was
overseeing the loading of a wagon
just about to start out, “I wish, Ste
phenson, you’d bring ove"r here that
bag of beans you’ll find on the north
counter.”
“All right, sir,” and Harold left
his work and hurried over for the
beans. As he hastily caught up the
bag, the bottom suddenly came out,
scattering its contents over the floor
and under the near-by boxes and bar
rels.
“Confound the luck!” exclaimed
Harold, his face flushing a deep red.
“Some one’s a precious, pretty foolj
slopping water around in that way!’*
And he savagely kicked an unoffend*
ing peck measure which lay on thei
floor beside him back under the
counter.
’‘I’vespilled them—everywhere! ” he
called angrily across the store to Mr.
Nelson. “The team will have to go
without them, or have another order
put up. ’Twill take me till dooms
day getting them all oft the floor
again.”
“I’m afraid he won’t do," reflected
the head clerk, and, as he glanced
over toward the other end of the
room he saw Mr. Thurston silently
standing in his office door.
Mr. Thurston, of course, made no
comment, and, after watching Harold
for a moment, as he began angrily to
gather up the beans he quietly closed
the door and went back to his desk.
“I’m glad ifs going to be decided
soon,” remarked Harold, as the two
boys were walking home from the
store that evening. “Mr. Nelson
says we’ll know to-morrow, and, if
I’m not going to have the place, I
don’t want to be fooling away my
time trying to please old man Thurs
ton and his crowd. I saw him watch
ing me while I was picking up a bag
of beans I spilled to-day. I s’pose
he wanted to see how fast I could
work—but I didn’t hurt myself. It
doesn't pay.”
“He seems to me like a mighty
fine person to work for, and Mr. Nel
son's just a peach of a man,” ex
claimed Willis, enthusiastically. “It's
queer you feel as you do. For my
part, 1.don't wonder so many folks
apply for the place when there’s a
vacancy there.” '
Uh, well, its good enough, I sup
pose,” returned Harold. "I kind of
think they like me; they ought to—
I’ve given them a square deal.”
It was in the middle of the after
noon, the next day, when Mr. Nelson
asked Willis to carry the bag of beans
he’d And on the cereal counter to
Freeman Baker, who was just then
checking off an order for a down
town restaurant.
He hurrifedly took up the bag when
out dropped the beans, falling in
reckless confusion on the store floor.
“I’m afraid I’ve done it now, Mr.
Nelson,” called Willis, quickly.
“You’ll think I'm a blunderer, but it
won't take long to gather them up
again. I might as well laugh as
cry,” cheerfully. “I’ll have them off
the floor in a little while, and I’ll
work all the harder afterward.”
“That’s the kind of a fellow to
have.” Mr Thurston went back to
his work in the office—Willis hadn’t
seen him standing in the partly open
door*
“I don’t understand why they gave
you the place,” declared Harold,
gloomily, as Willis joined him that
evening outside the store door, “I’vo
actually slaved for a week for them;
never tried harder in my life to pleaso
—and this is what I get for it.”
“I really expected they would give
you the job,” replied Willis, gener
ously. “And 1 don’t see why they
didn’t.”
But Mr. Thurston did, and his rea
son was based on the result of his
bag-of-beans test.—Adelbert F. Cald

Magazine covers are made from
heavy linens and craftsman’s can

latter fabric is preferred. Both ma

WALL DECORATIONS.
For a drawing room nothing in the
wall decoration line could be lovelier
and more novel than a wedgwood
pattern, with the background of a
paler shade of wedgwood blue and the
medallions of the darker shade re
lieved with white. Either blue or
that soft green which is a character
istic shade of wedgwood pottery is
effective when used in this way. The
carpet should match, and if the wedg
wood design is reproduced in the

of the decorations.—New York

MARKING SHEETS.
Why mark sheets with ink in a
haphazard way? It is so easy to find j

sheets with carbon paper and then
traced with indelible ink. Without

ble a good and uniform marking may
ae thus procured and if preferred,
the letters, thus marked, may even

engraved headings are the rule, not
the exception, letters for the. whole
name may be found, too.—New

TO CLEAN COAT COLLARS.
Apply turpentine to the soiled
places, letting the fluid dry, and ap
plying more several times; then
gently scrape off the loosened dirt.
Wet again with turpentine, and
scrape, repeating this until all spots
have been removed.
Then sponge with a clean cloth and
turpentine, or better still, alcohol or
chloroform, and wipe dry.
A fresher and smoother looking
surface is obtained when alcohol or
chloroform is used, as these two sub
stances evaporate more quickly than
does turpentine.—New York Press.
TO CLEAN BLACK DRESSES.
Remove all dust with a stiff brush.
To three parts warm water add one
part liquid ahnmonia. Rub the dress
thoroughly with a piece of the same
material. Then with a sponge wrung
out of cold water go over the whole
surface. Hang the garment in a
shady place to dry.
Black dresses may also be cleaned
by .dissolving as much indigo blue in
water as will make the latter a dark
shade. The dress should be sponged
thoroughly with this and then hung
up to dry.
Mud stains on dark dresses which
cannot ha removed by brushing gen

Cornmeal Muffins—Prepare as rye

yellow or white cornmeal, half a tea
spoonful of salt, two or three table
spoonfuls of sugar, two level tea
spoonfuls of baking powder, a scant
half cup of milk ami out-half or the
whole of an egg.
Coc&anut Macaroons—Boil two
thirds of a cup of sugar and one-third
a cup of water to the soft ball stage;
remove from the fire and stir in half
a pound of prepared cocoanut. Beat
the white of three eggs dry, then cut
and fold into them the cocoanut
mixture. Shape, with a spoon, into
small cakes on a buttered tin or tin
covered with a buttered paper. Bake
until slightly browned.
Candied Sweat Potato Balls—With
a French cutter scoop balls from raw
sweet potatoes; the potatoes should
first be neatly pared. For a pint of
balls melt one-fourth a cup of butter
in a casserole, add one-fourth a cup of
maple syrup or sugar, and when very
hot put in the balls and shake them
over the fire until quite hot, then
cover and let cook in the oven till
tender. Baste frequently v»'th the
liquid in the dish; add salt before the
cooking is completed.
Floating Island—One quart of
milk, five eggs, four tablespoonfuls
of sugar, two teaspoonfuls extract of
vanilla, half a teaspoonful extract of
almond. Heat the milk to scalding
point, drop whites of eggs beaten to a
stiff froth upon it in form of little
islands. Let same simmer for a mo
ment, then skim off and place upon
a platter. Now take yolk of eggs,
well beaten with sugar, and pour
slowly into the hot milk until same is

Weir Mitchell’s Bore.
Dr. Weir Mitchell, whose brilliant
medical career is only exceeded by
his brilliance in literature, is noted
In Philadelphia for the detestation
that he Jias for bores.
Only a bore can ruffle the gracious
and gentle suavity of Dr. Weir Mit
chell’s manner, and even with bores
' his reproofs are delicate rather than
rough.
They say at the Franklin Inn, Phil
adelphia’s literary club, that a bore
accosted Dr. Weir Mitchell one day
on Chestnut street and insisted on
walking with him to the Philadelphia
Library. During the walk the bore’s
j flow of talk was incessant. Dr. Weir
! Mitchell walked on amid the deluge,
i frowning silently.
But as they turned down Juniper
street, a man across the way
! stretched out his arms and yawned
I as if to dislocate his jaw.
Dr. Weir Mitchell took the bore’s
arm and nodded toward the yawning
| man.
j “Hush,” he said. "Don’t speak so
1 loud. People can hear you.”

my former self.
“Having heard of Grape-Nuts and

“I found it not only appetizing but
that I could eat it as I liked and that
it satisfied the craving tor food with
out causing distress, and if I may use
the expression, ‘it filled the bill.’
“For months Grape-Nuts was my
principal article of diet. 1 felt from

which were attached the threads of
the spider, which was slowly but sure

SAFETY RAZOR
AT LOW PRICE.
SUPERIOR TO BEST SOLD AT ANY PRICE.
The small price is made possible by the
great demand for this Razor. The small
profit on each aggregating as large a
sum as if we sold fewer at a greater price .
The benefit is the consumer's.
The Blade is of the finest steel, scien
tifically made and tempered by a secret
process--and the blade, of course, is the impor
tant part of any Razor. The frame is of satin finish, I
silver plated, and angled correctly for safe,
quick and clean shaving. The tough bearded man
finds this Razor a boon; the soft bearded man J
finds it a delight. These blades can be stropped, EXTRA.
Buy one and you will recommend it to all your __ ,
friends. That is the best test of any article. r>lxrVL/Ejt5

^AN IMITATION TAKES FOR ITS>„
{ PATTERN THE REAL ARTICLE |
ik There was never an Imitation made of an imitation, lml- X
w tators always counterfeit the genuine article. The genuine is •
2 what you ask for, because genuine articles are the advertised ones. X
i Imitations are not advertised, but depend for their business on the W
ability of the dealer to sell you something claimed to be “just as 2
good" when you ask for the genuine, because he makes more profit #
on the imitation. Why accept imitations when you can get the gen- Z
