A Modern Malaprop.

The season of English opera at Drury Lane has not been In vain. A lady tn Bayswater went down to see her cook the other morning. x “Maria,” she said, “you’ve been doing your work very badly for some weeks past. I won’t have it!” “Mum,” replied the cook; “cooking ain’t my call. Work ain’t my call. Hopera’s my call, only I don’t know whether I’m a contrasto or a sultana!”

MAN IN THE CABOOSE

JACK EUMSEY’S SEOEET FOE' SEGUEING SLEEP. A Missouri Pacific Railroad Conductor Tells How Ho Prevents the Wreck of His Nerves. A great deal of fatigue and anxiety is housed up in the little red box that swings at the tail end of every freight train and shares in every jolt of the string qf heavy cars that precedes it on the rails. The men in it are good, hearty fellows who bear cheerfully the hazards connected with the great problem of transportation. They are astir night and day on a vast network of lines and the sympathies of tens of thousands of peaceful little homes go with them, on their runs. The groat public must have its supplies and these are the men who must get them through at the cost even of their lives.

Mr. Jack Ramsey, of Council Grove, Kansas, is au energetic, frank, gooduatured member of this brotherhood and he bears a load of worries that makes it necessary for him to seek help to keep his excited nerves from wearing him out. He says: “ What troubled mo most was my inability to get sleep when the chance came and a most irritating sensitiveness of my whole nervous system, growing out of tho irregularities and anxieties connected with uiydaily work. Throe or four years agoaclerlc iu the superintendent’s office of tho Missouri Pacific, at Osawatoinic, advised me to use Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Palo People. I acted on Lis advice and got help right away. So I keep them on hand all the time and whenever tho strain begins to tell on me 1 take a few doses. They quiet down my excited nerves and make it possible for me to Bleep just like a child. They are mighty good medicine for a railroad man. That is the absolute truth, as far as my experience goes, and I am right glad to reoommend them.” Dr.Williams’Pink Pills for Pale People aro unlike other medicines because they act directly on the blood and nerves. They are a positive cure for all diseases arising frt>m impoverished blood or sluittered nerves. They aro sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box, or six boxes for two dollars and fifty ceuts, by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.

The Simple Dish that Keeps One Vigorous and Well Fed. When the Doctor takes his own medicine and the grocer eats the food he recommends some confidence comes to the observer. A Grocer of Ossian, Ind., had a practical experience with food worth anyone's attention. He says: “Six years ago I became so weak from stomach and bowel trouble that I was finally compelled to give up all work in my store, and in fact all sorts of work, for about four years. The last year I was confined to the bed nearly all of the time, and much of the time unable to retain food of any sort on my stomach. My bowels were badly constipated continually and I lost in weight from IGspounds down to 88 pounds. “When at the bottom of the ladder I changed treatment entirely and started in on Grape-Nuts and cream for uourlstftfittpnt. I used absolutely nothing but thfs'ft>rN“ bout three months. I slowly Improved 1 got out of bed and began to movNi^ 0111, “I have been improving / e ß ub,r, y and now in the past two been working about fifteen hours a 1 day in the store and never felt better In my life. ". “During these two years I have never missed a breakfast of GrapeNuts and creamj and often have it two meals a day, but the entire breakfast is always made of Grape-Nuts and cream alone. “Since commencing the use of GrapeNuts I have never used anything to stimulate the action of the bowels, a thing I had to do for years, but this food keeps me regular and in fine shape, and I am growing stronger and heavier every day. “My customers, naturally, have been Interested and I am compelled to answer a great many questions about Grflpe-Nuts. “Home people would think that a simple dish of tirape-Nuts and cream would not carry one through to the noonday meal, but it will and in the most vigorous fashion.” Name given by Postnm Oa, Battle Creek, Mich. , Look in eacb pkg. for the famous little book, “The Hoed to WeUvUle.”

MBjMßftggaMr \ i , i ® Two severe cases of Ovarian Trouble® and two terrible operations avoided. Mrs. Emmons and Mrs. Coleman each tell how they were saved by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound* “Dbab Mrs. Pinkham : from Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound that I feel it a duty and a privilege to write you about it. 1 “I suffered for more than five years with ovarian troubles. caos> lng an unpleasant discharge, a great weakness, and at times a fft.lnt.negf would come over me which no amount of medicine, diet, or exercise seemed to correct. Your Vegetable Compound found the weak spot, however, within a few weeks and saved me from an operation—a t, roU Ttl e 9 j 1 a 4 disappeared, and I found myself once more healthy and well. Words fail to describe the real, true, grateful feeling that u mmy heart, and I want to tell every sick and suffering sister. Don’t dally with medicmes you know nothing about, but take Lydia E. Pink* ham’s Vegetable Compound, and take my word for it, you will be a different woman in a short time.”— Mrs. Laura Emmons, Walker* ville, Ont. Another Case of Ovarian Trouble Cured Without an Operation. “Dear Mrs. Pinkham: —For several years I f a® troubled with ovarian trouble and a painful j and inflamed condition, which kept me in bed part of the time. I did so oread a surgical operation. JmmS&xSaC “ I tried different remedies hoping .to get better, ffiagV but nothing seemed to bring relief until a friend <S) Si who had been cured of ovarian trouble, through rar 1190 °f 7 our compound, induced me to try it I afl V if took it faithfully for three months, and at the end Mfffifjk, I °* tlaat time was to find that I was a well woman.
