ITOTZJ.The following article ha been widely published and is one of the most remarkable Illustration of the value of careful marshalling and analysis of facts in presenting a sublet to the public. LEVEL. ER 8. the Mission of WhUkey, Tobacco and Coffee. The Creator made all things, vre beHere. If so, He must hare made these. We know what lie made food and water for, and air and ' ashlne, but why Whiskey, Tobacco I Coffee? They are here sure enough and each performing its work. There must be some great plan behind It all; the thoughtful man seeks to understand something of that plan and thereby to judge these articles for their true worth. Let us not say "bad' or "good" with, out taking testimony. There are times and conditions when It certainly seems to the casual observer that these stimulant narcotics are real blessings. Right there is the ambush that conceals & "killing" enemy. "One can slip into the habit of either whiskey, tobacco or coffee easy enough, but to untangle" is often a fearful struggle. It seems plain that there are circumstances when the narcotic effect of these poisons Is for tbe moment beneficial but the fearful argument against them is that seldom ever does one find a steady user of either whiskey, coffee cr tobacco free from disease of some kind. Certainly powerful element3 in their effect on the human race. It is a matter of dally history testified to by literally millions of people, that Whiskey, Tobacco and Coffee are smiling, promising, beguiling friendson the start, but always false as hell itself in the end. Once they get firm hold enough to show their strength, they Insist upon governing and drive the victim steadily towards ill health In some form; if permitted to continue to rule, they will not let up until physical and mental ruin sets in. A man under that spell (and "under the spell" Is correct), of any one of these drugs, frequently assures himself and his friends, "Why I can leave off any time I want to. I did quit for a week Just to show I could." It is a sure mark of the slave when one gets to that stage. He wiggled through a week fighting every day to break the spell, was finally whipped, and began his slavery all over again. The slave (Coffee slave as well as Tobacco and Whiskey) daily reviews his condition, sees perfectly plain the steady encroachments of disease, how the nerves get weaker day by day and demand the drug that seems to smile and offer relief for a few minutes and then leaves the diseased condition plainer to view than ever and growing worse. Many times the Coffee slave realizes that he is between two fires. He feels bad if he leaves off and a little worse If he drinks and allows the effect to wear off. So it goes on from day to day. Every night the struggling victim promises himself that he will break the habit and next day when he feels a little bad (as he is quite sure to) breaks, not the habit, but his own resolution. It Is nearly always a tough fight with disaster ahead sure If the habit wins.' There have been hundreds of thousands of people driven to their graves through disease brought on by coffee drinking alone, aiid it is quite certain that more human misery is caused by coffee and tobacco than by whiskey,' for the two first are more widely used, and more hidden and insidious in the effect on nerves, heart and other vital organs, and are thus unsuspected until much of the dangerous work is done. Now, Reader, 'what Is your opinion as to the real use the Creator has for those things? Take a look at the question from this point of view. There is a law of Nature and of Nature's God that things slowly evolve from lower planes to higher, a sturdy, steady and dignified advance toward more perfect things in both the Physical and Spiritual world. The ponderous tread of evolutionary development is fixed by the Infinite and will not be quickened out of natural law by any of man's methods. Therefore we soe many illustrations showing how natuTe checks too rapid advance. .Illinois raises phenomenal crops of corn for two or three years. If she continued to do so every year her farmers would advance in wealth far beyond those of other sections or countries. So Nature Interposes a bar every three or four years and brings on a "bad year." Here we see the leveling influence at work. A man is prosperous in his business for a number of years and 'grows rich. Then Nature sets the. "leveling influence' at work on. him. - Some of his Investments lose, he becomes luxurious and lazy. Perhaps It is whiskey, tobacco, coffee, women, gambling, or some other form The intent and purpose is to level him. Keep him from evolving too far ahead of the masses. A nation becomes prosperous and creat like ancient Rome. If no. 1ml-

tDg influence set in she would dominate the world Derhaos for all time. But Dame Nature sets her army of "level ers" at work. Luxury, overeating and drinking, licentiousness, waste and extravagance, indulgences of all kinds, then comes the wreck. Sure, Sure, Sure. The law of the unit is the law of the mass. Man goes through the same process. Weakness (In childhood), gradual growth of strength, energy, thrift Drobitv. prosperity, wealth. comfort ease, relaxation, self-indulgence, luxury, idleness, waste, debauchery, disease, and" the wreck follows. The "levelers" are in the bushes along the pathway of rvery successful man and woman and they bag the majority. Only now and then can a man stand out against these "levelers" and hold Ü3 fortune, fame and health to the . end. i Co tha Creator has use for Whiskey, Tct-cco ml Cce2 to level down tha czzzzzztzl czzz and the: 2 xrho itorr

signs of being successful, and keep them back in the nee, bo that the great "field" (the masses) may not be left too far behind. And yet we must admit that same all wise Creator has placed it In the power of a man to stand upright clothed In the armor of a clean cut steady mind and say unto himself, "I decline to exchange my birthright for a mess of potage." "I will not deaden my senses, weaken my grip on affairs and keep myself cheap, common and behind in fortune and fame by drugging with whiskey, tobacco or coffee; life is too short. It is hard enough to win the good things, without any sort of handicap, so a man Is certain a "fool trader" when he trades strength, health, money, and

the good things that come with power, for the half-asleep condition of the "drugger" with the certainty of sick ness and disease ahead. It is a matter each individual must decide for himself. He can be a leader and semi-god If he will, or he can go along through life a drugged clown, a cheap "hewer of wood or carrier of water." Certain it is that while the Great Father of us all does not seem to "mind" if some of his children are foolish and stupid. He seems to select others (perhaps those He Intends for some special work) and allows them to be threshed and castigated most fearfully by these "levelers." If a . man tries flirting with these levelers awhile, and gets a few slaps as a hint, he had better take the hint or a good solid blow will follow. When a man tries to live upright clean, thrifty, sober, and undrugged, manifesting as near as he knows what the Creator intends he should, happiness, health and peace seem to come to him. Does It pay? This article was written to set people thinking, to rouse the "God within" for' every highly organized man and woman has times when they feel a something calling from within for them to press to the front and "be about the Father's business," don't mistake it; the spark of the Infinite Is there and it pays In every way, health, happiness, peace, and even worldly prosperity, to break off the habits and strip clean for the work cut out for us. It has been the business of the writer to provide a practical and easy way for people to break away from the coffee habit and be assured of a return to health and all of the good things that brings, provided the abuse has not gone too far, and even then the cases where the body has been rebuilt on a basis of strength and health run into the thousands. It is an easy and comfortable step to stop coffee Instantly by having wellmade Postum Food Coffee served rich and hot with good cream, for the color and flavor is there, but none of the caffeine or other nerve destroying elements of ordinary coffee. On the contrary, the most powerful rebuilding elements furnished by Nature are in Postum and they quickly set about repairing the damage. Seldom is it more than 2 days after the change is made before the old stomach or bowel troubles or complaints of kidneys, heart, head or nerves show unmistakable evidence of getting better and ten days' time changes things wonderfully. Literally - millions of brain-working Americans today use Postum, having found the value and common sense In the change. C. W. . POST. Training Scandinavian Boys. In Scandinavia every city-born boy begins to learn a trade or profession so soon , as he is through the school, that is, in his fifteenth year, and he learns all that pertains to the trade. I learned to be a locksmith. In that trade Is Included everything from heavy forging, sheet metal work, safes, scales, sewing machines and the like. We made our own tools, except the files. So that when a man has worked in Scandinavia until he is 25 to SO years of age he can travel all over the world and always find work whenever he wishes. A fellow apprentice of mine worked In an ornamental Iron shop in Paris, France, where in two years he became foreman. Another went to New England and got a job as a toolmaker In a factory, where be was paid $3 a day and he could not speak ten words of English at that time. When the Scandinavian boy works in a shop he has a constant diversion, not the one piece forever as m the American shops. This will kill the spirit in any youngster and make him tired of the wholo thing.- , While the American youngster plays baseball the foreign boy is hard at it gaining such knowledge as will assure him a living in the future, and it will perhaps be admitted that the Scandinavian mechanics at least can cut out for themselves. Chicago Newa. Fatal to Noxious Weeds. Owners of . lawns and grass plots have great trouble every year in keeping them free from the pestiferout dandelion. A benevolent citizen who has experienced lots of this trouble writes to say that many people bring more of this trouble on themselves bj trying to exterminate dandelions bj cutting the plant off just below thi ground. A great deal of this is dons early in the spring by people col lectins young dandelion plants for "greens," they being an excellent and wholesome pot herb. This, it Is said, does not kill the plant but causes each root to throw put several shoots, and thus multiplies the number of dandelions. The correspondent mentioned writes to impress his fellow sufferers that if when they cut off the dandelion plant below the ground they will drop a pinch of salt cr a teaspoonful of coal oil on the, root left In the ground it will effectually kill it This may seem a troublesome Job, but to one who is set on keeping his grass plot clear tt dandelions it will in the end save a lot of trouble.

Judare Parker's Extreme Partisanship. When Judge Parker was proposed as a candidate for the Presidency it was not believed that he was an .extreme partisan. In truth, everybody supposed that he was very moderate. This belief continued through all the trials in the St Louis convention. Everybody said Parker was a kindly and good man, a Democrat, but not of the extreme type. This was the opinion current throughout the country, until Thursday, Sept 8, when he made a speech at Rosemont, his summer home, to 200 Democratic editors gathered from all portions of the United States. Then he developed his real character, and to the surprise of everybody blc somed out into a Democrat of the cx tremest type. His utterances are so extraordinary that at first people were inclined to discredit the report. Nevertheless it now appears that the reported speech of the judge Is as extreme as any Democratic politician in the land could desire. Among other things Judge Parker said: "Fortunately we have eight recent years of Democratic administration which we will gladly compare with any similar period since 1SG0." Could any utterance of the wildest Southern' Democrat go further than this? lie Insists that the eight years of Cleveland at Washington will compare .favorably with the great and world-praised administrations of Lincoln, Grant Hayes, Garfield, and McKinley. Could anything be more extravagant and more untrue? Such c 11 MAKING THE statements can be uttered only by a Bourbon of the ex tremest type. Fellow voters throughout the country, look at the monstrosity of such a proposition! Lincoln and Grant saved the republic and carried the nation through all the horrors of the greatest civil war recorded in modern history. Yet Judge Parker, the candidate of the Democratic party throughout the United States, evinces the extreme partisanship of declaring that the two Cleveland administrations will favorably compare with those of Lincoln and Grant This, speech of Tarker's at Rosemont will kill Parker as surely as If he were shot with a rifle. Let the memorable words be quoted, printed and pasted in every hat in the United States, where the voters may see and read what Parker has dared to say of the greatest and the wisest men our country has ever produced. Cleveland was President from 1S03 to 1897, and all the industrial forces of the land were so broken up that it was literally four years of woe and desolation. It was estimated after Cleveland retired that his administra tion cost the business of the country full 53,000,000,000; and there were so many hundreds of thousands thrown out of employment by the ClevelandParker policy that such distress among the people was never before known since the foundation of the government; and this is the man who Parker declares was as worthy of public confidence as Lincoln, Grant and McKinley. Milwaukee Wisconsin. Fighting for Congress. The Democratic managers are giving as much attention to the congressional campaign as to the presidential. This is more dangerous to Republican control of the House because the campaign is being quietly conducted, as was the Democratic congressional cam. palgn in 1890. - The Republicans secured control of the House in the presidential election of 1SS8 by the .narrow majority of five. Through indifference and lack of organization they lost the House in 1890, the Democrats electing 236 members to BS Republicans. In the presidential year of 1S92 the Republicans did. not increase their representation. In 1894, however, the Republicans made a well organized and active canvass and elected 246 members, to 104 by the Democrats. Among the gains were 15 members in Illinois, 11 in Indiana, 6 in Iowa, 5 In Kansas, 17 in New York, 12 in Ohio, 10 in Pennsylvania, 6 in New Jersey, 7 in Massachusetts, 4 in Nebraska, and 3 in Connecticut v In the eight years from 1S94 to and lncludinif 1902, the Republicans, while controlling the Douse, lost 49 members. While the Republicans held their own in New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylva nia, and Ohio, they lost 4 members in Illinois, 4 in Indiana, 4 in Kentucky, and 8 in New York. They have in the Fifty-seventh Congress 197 members in the House to 152 Democrats and 8 Populists, a majority of 37. Tt3 Democrats are working to overcoma this majority. They are giving tptclal attention to New York, New Jcrccy, Maryland, I Hinds, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

OMMEMT i they will attempt to use the same tactics they used In 1S0O. If the Republicans have a fair understanding of the situation, if they realize that it is almost as important for the Republican party to control the lower house of Congress as to elect the President, all the Democratic plans will miscarry. If, however, they show no more interest in the congressional elections than they showed in the presidential year of 1SSS, they will lose control of the lower house. Chicago Inter Ocean. Would Be Unwise. It would be most unwise to commit a revision of the tariff to the party which In its national platform has declared that protection Is "robbery." For if the Democrats mean thi.i, then they would seek so to revise th i tariff as to take from It every protective feature a revision which would make the tariff "robbery" Indeed by depriving the wage-earner, the farmer, the merchant and the manufacturer of the distinct material advantages they have enjoyed during the years that adequate and general protection has been the chief object sought by Republican tariff framers. Chicago Post With and Without Protection. The man is lutle better than a fool who contends that the Dingley tariff as a whole has not been a most beneficent one, promoting every kind of industrial progress and prosperity and making possible the most marvelous RECORD. advancement the world has even seen. Perhaps we should be a great and progressive nation without a protective tariff, but that we should be as great and progressive as we are is not to be even suggested in the face of the facts that all the world knows. Manchester (N. H.) Mirror. Aphorisms of Roosevelt. There are many different kinds of work to do; but so long as the work is honorable, Is necessary, and is well done, the man who does it well is entitled to the respect of his fellows. Corruption, in the gross sense in which the word is used in ordinary conversation, has been absolutely un known among our Presidents, and it has been exceedingly rare in our Presidents Cabinets. ' The worth of a civilization is the worth of the man at Its center. When this man lacks moral rectitude, mate rial progress only makes bad worse, and social problems still darker and more complex. We are bound to recognize this fact, to remember that we should stand for good citizenship in every form, and should neither yield to demagogic in fluence on the one hand, nor to Im proper corporate, influence on the oth er. I ask that we see to it !n our conn try that the line of division in the deeper matters of our citizenship be drawn, never between section and sec tion, never between creed and creed. never, thrice never, between class and class. There are many qualities which we need alike in private citizen and in public .nan; but three above all three for the lack of which no brilliancy and no genius can atone and those three are courage, honesty and com mon sense. While citizens die, the government and the Nation do not die, and we are bound in dealing with the forests to exercise the foresight necessary to use them now, but to use them in such a way as will also keep them for those who are to come after us. No action of the State can da mo.e than supplement the Initiative of the individual; and ordinarly the action of the State can do no more than to secure to each individual the chance to show under as favorable conditions as possible the stuff that there is in him. The good citizen is the man who. whatever his wealth or , poverty, strives manfully to do his duty to himself, to his family, to his neighbor, to the state; who is Incapable of tho baseness which manifests Itself either in arrogance or in envy, but who, while demanding justice for himself, I no less scrupulous to do Justice to others. David B. Hill's premise to retire from politics at the opening of th new. year somehow reminds one that Rnroia once set a date for the volun tary evacuation of Manchuria. Mr. Cowherd cays: "This adminis tration suits the President and ho - ft. M 1 thinks It suits tne peopie, ana proposes to stand by 11" That's the whole case in a nntohell. -Tha Democrat may rlilrulo Itose Tdfa tU cüci, tert if ht wcro withczt It tlc7 xrcs23 feel reero cecuro,

THE FIELD OF BATTLE

INCIDENTS AND ANECDOTES OP THE WAR. The Veteran of the Rebellion Tell of Whistling Ballet, Bricht B7oaet Bnratlng Bomb, Bloody Battle) , Camp Fire Fest ire Bnt Etc, Etc j ! i Following the enormous losses of ' our army in the Wilderness, the heavy ; artillery regiments from the fortlfica- ' tions of Washington and Baltimore were ordered down to re-enforce Grant I was a private in one of them. For nearly two years we had been doing garrison duty, and many of us had longed for service in the field. We were soon to have enough of it and of the severest kind. These regiments were very strong; some of them, like mine, had twelve full companies of one hundred and fifty each, less the few that we had lost in quarters. For field service we were armed with the rifle-musket, :ike the infantry. I believe that on the day of the assault on the Confederate works at Cold Harbor my regiment had not less than sixteen hundred men present It was stronger than many of the single brigades of that army. I was a boy of seventeen when I enlisted (shamming eighteen, as many other young patriots did in those days, in order to get Into the service), and at this time was not nineteen. Our colonel had made me his orderly, and I have always since thought that he put too much responsibility upon such a boy as I was. There before Cold Harbor, for Instance, he should have had at least three orderlies to have his commands promptly delivered. On the end of June we were moved up within striking distance of the enemy's works. We constructed hasty earthworks of our own, as our men learned to do on this campaign, whenever there was time. We saw that lines of Infantry connected with us on the right and left, and that there were field batteries in the rear. From the general aspect of things we knew as well that there was to be an assault as though the orders had already been communicated. But the orders did not come that day. We lay there all night with the front well picketed. Long before daylight I heard a staff officer groping about and inquiring for the colonel. I found the latter and awoke him, and then I heard the orders that were given him. "The charge will be made at daylight The signal will be a blank dis charge from one of those guns in the rear." The colonel immediately dispatched me with orders for the three battalions and for the company of Captain S , which had been on picket and was just withdrawn. This company was to join the battalion that carried the colors, dressing on Its left In the excitement of the hour and in the pressure on my memory of the instructions that had been given me I overlooked Captain S 's company entirely. I never thought of him or of his command again until the charge had been made and repulsed. The books I have read on this campaign all agree that the charge was made at daybreak. It was not The men who write In that way were not there. It was intended to be at that time, as the staff officer had said, but where was the Important movement during the war that was made on time as planned and ordered? There may have been a few, but there were not many. N Before we, heard the signal gun, a certain general and his staff came out to our position. They came mounted, an act of perfect folly in such a situation. I don't want to name that man, and, without naming him, I will tell the rest of the truth. He was drunk, decidedly drunk, and I was not by any means the only one who observed It He was badly wounded later in the morning. I respected his courage, such as it was, but wished it needed not to have been so much aided. I believe it was full half an hour after daybreak before we heard that gun. When at laat it came, the lines sprang up and dashed forward. You have all read what happened. There was a grand butchery; you can call it by no other name. There was absolutely no hope not the slightest of reaching those works. The acounts say that more than ten. thousand of our men were killed and wounded there that morning. I haven't a doubt of it from what I saw myself. Our men came drifting back those that were not stretched on the ground. The Confederates were now showing themselves over the top of their earthworks, in their eagerness to find marks, and discovering now for the first time that Captain S s company had not charged with the others, I suggested that he might take his men forward to the protection of some trees that were not far off, and do some sharpshooting, which might relieve our men In front "If the colonel should find out that you did not charge with the regiment, it would be a sore thing for me," I said. ' But the colonel was killed, the lieutenant colonel was mortally wounded, and one of the majors was rallying as many of the men as he could back where the charge had begun. Captain S ' " - had moved his men up as I suggested, and was doing good execution. "Why," queried the major, "don't those batteries in the rear open and cover our men?" He sent me back to .the nearest battery with a written request to that effect - ; Til open when I please," waa the surly reply of the captain of artillery, whose dignity had to assert itself unCzt all circumstances. In a very leisurely way he did open on the encny's works. His first two shclla burst short and killed six of our men. Our major was in a towering rage. He went back to the battery and told ita ceptaln that if he fired any mora of thcra rotten shelb he would charts ca him instead of cn the enemy. TLey fcel it very tet there fcr a time; t-t

every shell thrown after that reached the works. It has been often said and often printed that about one o'clock that afternoon orders were given for another assault, and that the men refnsed to obey. And this has been denied. But there is no use in denying a fact to which there are still some thousands of living witnesses. The men would not charge again; and they did not They had seen those works much closer than any of the generals had; they knew that they could not be taken from Lee's veterans by direct assault, and that the attempt after what they had experienced, would be simply murder. And the generals had to agree with them. History Is silent about the lrefusal of the troops to charge at Cold narbor that afternoon; but it occurred, all the same. J. F. F., in American Tribune.

After the Battle. The band is swinging gayly as it leads the big review. (But where's the little drummer and his drum?) The tifes are all a-chuckle and the flags re snapping, too. (But who is this that's asking for hii chum?) The cannon have been polished and th stains are wiped away. The fog of smoke has lifted and no mori Is drifting gray, And we can see the sun that wasn't shining yesterday. (Is that a dirge that some one tries tc hum?) The ordere speak of srlory, and of ho-w we won the fight. (Bat who has seen the little drnmmei boy?) Twas anybody's battle till we crumpled up their right. (You'd thiak he thought his drum a Christmas toy.) You see the harness glisten wath th polish on the straps You wouldn't think these fellows haii been making oyer maps Unless you chanced to notice that thi ranks are showing gaps. (His mother said he was her only joy.l They've sheathed the clanking sabers an the flags again are furled. (But where's the little drummer aa! his drum?) They say a day like yesterday will influence the world. (The boys all wonder why he doesn't come.) It's strange that some one's speeches, of the scratching of a pen, Can send us out to kill or to be killeo by other men And when one war is over they will tal2 and write again. (The little drummer's hands are whiti and numb.) There'll be an arch of welcome for th boys when we return. (They found him with his drum, upon the God.) But there'll be women waiting, and their hearts will always yearn. (They laid his drum in with him. did the squad.) It's all a part of glory all the banners they will wave, And all the ringing speeches made ia honor of the brave. And all the songs but glory hardly ever finds your grave. (They left the boy to glory and to God.) W. D. Nesbit in Chicago Tribune. He Took a Prisoner. The soldier who knew no difference between "charge" and "retreat" is the theme of the latest tale of one of the solons of Congress. There was a raw recruit from the West who went into the army from one of the Western States in 1861, says Collier's Weekly. He was a big fellow who measured 6 feet from the sole to crown, and he left his corn plow In the field "because Lincoln wanted him to save the Union." He was put In the awkward squad and taught to keep step for a day. He went back to the colonel and said, "I didn't come down here to go hep, hep, hep, under the trees; I came down to wipe out the rebels; want to fight" He kept complaining, and one day an order came to capture a battery out on the hill a few miles away. The recruit was put on the firing lkie. Through the grass and the green fields the men marched, and under the green trees where the birds sang, and up that hill in the face of death. Suddenly a great blazing fire of shot and canister came sweeping down into the little band, mowing them like grain before the sickle. Retreat was inevitable; the order was given, and the men dropped back down the. hill. The recruit did not understand the order, but kept going straight ahead. Under the cover of smoke and guarded by a Providence that seems sometimes to guard heroes on such occasions, he marched up behind a gun, grabbed the gunner and marched down the hill. Down in a little clump of trees the colonel was gathering his few men who were not lying dead on the hill-1 side. Dumfounded at the appearance of the recruit and his prisoner, the colonel called out: "Where the dickens did you git that mfJl?" .; "I got him up on top of that hm," came the reply, "and there is a goldarned lot more of 'em if you're a mind to go after 'em!" They Are Still Boys. The "boys of '61" are still boys. Several hundred of them were taken to Concord and Lexington in automobiles during the Grand Army encampment in Boston last summer, and some of them were more Interested In the speed at which they traveled than in the historic places. The case of one old soldier was typical. When he reached one of the battle monuments his guide asked him if he wished to get out to read the inscription. He replied, "No, I've seen enough inscriptions to-day. 4 Go chase that fellow that gave us such a hard pull back down the road." And the automobiles, loaded with gray-haired "boys," chased one another all the way back to Boston. Edward Clark, head of a sewing machine company, who conceived the idea of selling goods on the installment plan, died worth $20,000,000. His widow Is now the wife of Bishop Potter. The story that General Kurokl's father was a Pole has been exploded. Kuroki Is an eld Japanese name; it i! derived from kuroi (black) and kl (weed, cr. trc:). (

FELLED LIEU AIT OX A1ID DIZZY A1TD SLEEPLESS TOE WEEKS. Hough Experience of E. C F. Ward, cf Girard, Kansas, a Veteran of Co. II, 50 U& Indiana. A reporter who was seeking for Mr. Ward to get his confirmation of a statement that had been mado concerning him by a fellow-townsman, found that stalwart carpenter engaged in putting a new window frame in an old hoo so. In response to an inquiry, tho robust workman dropped nimbly to a seat on the window bench, and said : " Tes; I owe my recovery to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I am always glad to tell the story for tho sake of others. In fact, I think there are only two kinds, of medicine worth buying at least, only two kinds that ever did me any good and one of them is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. 44 You see, it was this way : I was at my work in 1892 when I felt as if I had been struck on my head by a sudden blow. My heart seemed to sp and the loctor taid U mUied every ther beat. I went through the battle of Bichmond, Kentucky, but I never had been through anything like this before. I thought surely I was going to pass in zny check this time. "After that I had very trying dizzy spells. I had to give up work altogether and spend every other day in bed. For two months I did not leave the hon so. I could not concentrate my eyes on any object; I was in a state of extreme -' nervousness all the time. I would lie awake at night from nine o'clock until daylight. My circulation was bad and my feet always cold. The doctor admitted that his medicine was not doing me a bit o good. 44 Then I decided to try Dr. Williams' Tink Pills, about which I had read In an jdvertisemjnt. After three or four days' ose I realized that they were helping me. I began to take them in January, 1833. By the middle of February I was out and in March I resumed work as, usual. I sleep without difficulty, my dizziness has never returned, and my feet are always warm when they should be. You may say that I think Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can't be beat for nervousness and difficulties of the blood.' They are sold by all druggists throughout the world. Marriages In Burma. Burma is unique among tbe countries of the Ecst in the position accorded to worn in. There is no purdah there, and, gentle as she looks, the . married woman is the head of her house. The girls, before their eara are pierced, which Is equivalent to a coming out reception, are allowed to roam about the streets playing boyish games with their brothers and their friends, and afterward there are many opportunities for young men and women to meet at festivals, boat races and other gayetles. Marriages In Burma, therefore, are usually love matches, and the unmarried woman is in no hurry to change her state. Burmese women are charming, generally slender, dainty and demurely coquettish.
