GROWING MORE SERIOUS. There was a time when it was impossible !or any bot the frothiest sort of book to gain a mdc circulation. The rule that only adventure mystery and love stories attracted a circle of

readers large enough to merit attention had but

few exceptions. Nor have works of fiction which are written only to divert and entertain yielded first place even today to more serious books. It is hard to believe that men and women will ever in large numbers take up with the reading of more serious books, either fiction or non-fiction. Americans read mainly for divesion and entertainment. Within the past few years, however, there seems to be in evidence a tendency on the part of the public to turn to more substantial reading. Not a few of the serious books of fiction ran into manifold enditions. Surely there was little romance and adventure to be found in

boast of larger sales than this book. Mrs. Edith

Wharton addresses herself only to the seriousminded reader, and so it occasioned no little surprise to find that the Age of Innocence held its own for months as one of the books most in demand. In the field of non-fiction one is confronted with even greater surprises. Here in the expectation of a small demand the publisher puts on the market at first only a relatively small supply. Great is his astonishment to lear that the first supply of a book like Mind in the Making is at once exhausted and that more and more copies are being demanded. People of this country are apparently becomin more and more interested in books which deal with sociological problems and phenomena. Had Mr. Wells written the usual kind of a book on history, it is doubtful whether he would have found even a hundreth part of the number of readers who are by this time familiar with the book. But since it is an interpretation of history as seen through the eyes of a man who has himself given us one of the greatest sociological novels, the book has found an incredibly wide circulation.

Th.et are Happy Well

You Should Be the Same

A LARGE number of women's ailments are not surgical ones. Serious displacements or radical changes have not yet taken place. A tiny part in a fine clock may become loose and cause the clock to gain or lose. If not attended to in time, the part mav fall from its place and cause serious trouble. So it is with women's ailments, they start from simple causes; but if allowed to continue, produce serious conditions. When the warning symptoms are first noted, take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to relieve the present troublesome ailment, and to prevent the development of serious trouble. Portland Ind. "I "was troubled TJaltimore, Md.
