C’hinese are dangerous enemies, for they are treacherous. That’s w hy all counterfeits of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve are dangerous. They look like DeWitt’s, but instead of the all-heal-ing witch hazel they all contain ingredients liable to irritate the skin and cause blood poisoning. For piles, injuries and skin diseases use the original and genuine DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Stearnes’ drug company. _J* • * ' it is a self-evident fl&t that the marraige age of girls is raising. Recent statistics show that out of 1,000 brides oOO were between the* ages of 22 and and 25, i!300 between 25 and 30 and 200 under 20, In the days of our fathers it was customary for girls to marry between the ages of 16 to 20. Now a greater number of girls are self supporting, take more practical views of life amt don’t deem it necessary to marry merely for a home.

Why should the character of a working girl who is honestly trying to earn her own living be questioned any quicker than that of a girl who is born and raised in affluence? There is certainly a dignity in labor, and a person who sneers at or casts reflections on the character of a working girl because she works, is not fit to have a woman for a mother.
