Now to Cure Your Plies

One Often To Carelessness or Neglect and Stubborn to Cure ••The knife Is not always necessary to cure even desperate cases of piles,” says a physician whose years and experience make him an authority. “Indeed,” he says further: “I have known some very aggravated cases of long standing cured by a simple home remedy that restored to the bowels easy natural dally movements." And the doctor Is right, as many letters ■from cured people in various parts of the country prove. If sufferers from piles, rectal tumors and ulcers would try Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin they would often save themselves the terrible pain and danger and the heavy expense of a severe surgical operation. (Piles are often due to constipation and are always aggravated by it. Easy natural movements of the bowels such as are Invariably produced by this famous laxative without pain or gripe do much to restore a normal, healthy condi.tlon to the bowels and thus cure piles. « M. H. Miller, Moweaque, 111., says: “I bave been troubled all my life with piles brought on by constipation. I tried many doctors and numerous remedies, but found no relief until I used Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. I have used it as a laxative and stomach remedy for the past nine years and have no more troubles with piles.” H. N. John, Minneapolis, Kan., says be suffered for four years with piles which ■were so bad that he could not work. IFour bottles of Dr. Caidwell’s Syrup Pepsin' cured him, and he says he has not .been bothered since. < I Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a safe cure remedy for constipation, restoring -easy natural daily movements in the worst old chronic cases, yet so mild and pleasant to take mothers give It to their babies with splendid results. It is sold by all druggists at EOc and SI.OO per bottle. Pepsin Syrup Co., 302 Caldwell Bldg., Monticello, Hl., will send a free sample to anyone who has pot used it and will give it a fair trial.

DIET FOR WORKING GIRLS.

Headaches, poor complexion, nerves irritable temper, despondency and other ailments of a real character are complaints of the working girl leading a sedentary life. The seamstress has pains through the small of the back, the typewritist has shoulder blade paifis, eye strain and cramps in the hands. The one who must stand too long at her work suffers with pains in the back and limbs. But women can endure far more if they eat properly. It is estimated that 50 per cent of the working girls eat ice cream and sandwiches for their luncheon, and the ham cooked for sandwiches is never wholly done, because to cook it thoroughly done it cannot be cut into thin slices ano will fall apart. No working woman unless she is washing, scrubbing or doing hard physical labor, should eat meat three times a day. It takes all the strength of the human body to aid digestion. Coffee drinkes are estimated by the millions, yet a conscientious doctor will look at a palefaced girl, on her last nerve and third cup of coffee and think: “I would rather see you take a ‘pony’ of whisky to one cup of coffee.” But he is lenient and says: “Leave out coffee for evening dinner, then when you are convinced you can leaye it alone, do not take It at luncheon and .gradually decrease it at breakfast dntil you can do without it entirely. Do not expect to conquer the habit without much determination nor expect results in one week or one month.” Exercise is as essential as the food one eats, and, unless a girl or woman takes some exercise, digestion is retarded, and this means almost complete lassitude during working hours. Do not begin a series of exercises that will leave you tired and w’eak. A beginner should start with exercises that will take but five minutes a day, then ten, fifteen and lastly one-half hour. It will take seven weeks before the beginner can exercise the unused muscles without suffering some discomfort unless it is gradual. Before breakfast drink a cup of water. No girl would think of going to work without washing her face and hands, yet not one in fifty thinks of the stomach or the needful glass of water. Take another glass of water just before retiring. And about candy eating. Sweets are essential for energy, but not a great amount of sweets for the working girl. The athlete can eat a pound of candy without injury to himself; a dime’s worth of ' chocodates contains a whole day’s headache for the average working girl. Candy is converted into an acid as soon as 4t enters the stomach, and too much acid leads to an attack of bilious headache. It is a great trial and a great privation to adhere to just these few simple rules, but, if a girl would so so, she would find it costs nothing and is worth hundreds of dollars to her, for without health, the handicap to the working woman is like a milestone around her neck. You do not need to pay out all your wages for doctor bills if you have stamina enough about you to use a little will power and tel] yourself you do not want candy, when you know you would pawn your best clothes for even a peppermint drop.

Household Helps.

Don’t put clothes around the fire to dry, and then go to bed and leave them. A spark may easily fly but of the fire and set them alight. Never leave a wood fire unguarded. Always put a metal screen or something of that sort in front of it to prevent the sparks flying. Don’t try to make a fire in the open grate draw by holding a newspaper up in front of it. If it doesn’t set fire to the mantelpiece hangings or to your own clothes, it may fly blazing up the chimney and set that alight. If you use a gas stove never leave it with anything that might boll over cooking upon it. It is quite possible for soup or milk boiling over to put out the gas flame, and the escaping gas will gradually fill up the room. And then as soon as somebody comes in with a light —bang! Table linen should be hemmed by hand. Not only does it look better and more dainty, but there is never a strbak of dirt under the edge after being laundered, as with machine sewing. The doors and windows of a kitchen should be so arranged that there will be a current of ah :o carry oft the unavoidable odor of cooking. The walls should never be papered. Paper absorbs impurities, and therefore be comes unwholesome. Have the walls painted, so that by frequent washing they can be kept sweet and clean, a condition Impossible with paper.

Candle Light For the Table.

What la it about the soft mellow candle light that makes a table so much more attractive than almost any other light? The handsome electric lights, globes, lanterns and the like used to light the table are all ornamental features of the dining room, yet the small candles afford the greatest attraction. Of course they "gutter and sputter,’’ but I saw some twilight sandle lamps which have the appearance of being genuine candles and they are lighted with kerosene and are furnished with miniature chimneys and shades. No doubt they will take the place of the old fashioned spermaceti candle because they will prove safer, yet have the- same appearance as the tallow ‘‘dip.”

"A LADY OF MIKADO'S COURT"

k

BY JESSIE M. PARTLON

Etsu had come —St. Ives firmly believed —as a psychological answer to his yearning for “color.” Her entrance was characteristic. The artist, idly sketching his thousandth * American Girl,” was startled to perceive a small, gorgeous figure wrapped in sinuous folds of gray and cherry silk, bowed in mock humility at his very feet. * “Seven devils —” exclaimed St. Ives, splashing carmine all over the “American Girl’s” haughty mouth. “Jes* me, mos, high mightiness; Etsu make ver* fine model—ver* moch need monqy!” explained the wadded sllk bundle before him. The shining black coils of hair rose from their humble position to disclose a fresh, girlish face, daintily red as to lips, Immobile as bronze. This, then, was no gift from the gods, but a commercial transaction! All the artist in St. Ives’ nature rose to the quaint, colorful little lady. Etsu, taking stupefaction for acquiescence, lifted a bundle of costumes from the floor and pattered toward the dressing room. In a second she was back. Instead of the cherry blossom silk she was swathed in a heavy kimono whose midnight luster was glorified by golden storks gravely reposing on one leg against a background of perpetually rising suns. “Etsu ver* fine lady of mikado’s court,” she said proudly, making a deep genuflection. St. Ives’ eyes took in greedily the lithe figure, the small, flower-like face, and heavy coils of scented hair. He stared till the “ver’ fine lady” became disturbed; she dropped to the floor in a pretty attitude and with childish dignity and directness said: “Lady play samisen, ver’ honorable great artist please to paint!” And so, from day to day, St. Ives reveled in color. Etsu had been posing for him for two weeks, and the studio, with its litter of East Indian bric-a-brac, ugly Chinese idols, and rare tapestries, was permeated with the faint fragrance that clung to her kimonos. To-day Etsu had arrived At tfie studio early. When he inserted his own latch key, a straflge, eerie murmuring reached his ears, and as he threw wide the door he beheld Etsu prone on her fate before an image of Buddha he had picked up in the orient She was praying softly and rapidly. Gone was the childlike naivete and Impenetrable calm of the little Japanese model. A strange exaltation breathed from every fold of her silken garments, and she hurriedly tucked her tiny flag—the emblem of Japan— Into her sleeve as she mounted the model’s throne. “Well, Etsu, 1 see by the papers your country is recalling its subjects —there’s to be war, it seems!” “Yes, august highness!” replied Etra; “the sacred one has spoken—happy who can obey!” She was strangely anxious to be gone—the day’s work was spoiled and St. Ives released her. Lifting a curtain that concealed an old cabinet to get Etsu’s customary fee, he stood appalled. The cabinet had been forced “open, papers and color, tubes lay all about, but every penny the cabinet held had vanished! Gone, too, was Etsu, and without the bit of silver for which she always waited. Ip an Instant St. Ives was half way down the stairs; a second and he gained the street. There, like an animated water color, was Etsu, two blocks away. Etsu melted into a narrow doorway of Chinatown, and still he followed. Almost at the threshold of an inner room she was met by a slender young Japanese equipped for a journey. “Did you get it?” he fairly hissed. “Quick, quick; the son of heaven calls—” “Here, Hojo!” She pressed a handful of loose bills into his outstretched hand. “Kawannon guard you and bring a glorious death.” Jostling St. Ives In the dark passage Hojo rushed forth —from her he loved to the great red death of a Japanese soldier who falls in battle fighting for the emperor. But Etsu, for whom there remained only the small white death of women and children, drew from her silken sleeve a small vial and drank deep. The pungent scent of peach kernels tilled the air. And St. Ives staggered out into the sunlight to gaze with horrified eyes on the long streamers of "Banzai” and picturesque Japanese flags that fluttered in an alien breeze.

Fales

The story is told of an actor, popular with the matinee girls, who is beset by the fear of being thought older than he is. -- - -- The last time this player was interviewed it was by a young woman reporter for one of the dailies. She wished to get his views touching the condition of the drama, a subject the actor was not particularly desirous of discussing. . “I’m not sure,” said the young woman, laughingly, “whether I’m really finding out what you think. You ought to be frank, for your eyes are gray and—" "Prematurely so, I assure you, my dear young woman,” the player hastened to interject —Harper's Weekly.

The Pennies in the Box.

The R. F. D. Man has his troubles and the following tells of one of them, the placing of pennies in the boxes for postage instead of procuring stamps. I’m Uncle Sams’s most favored pct, I’m hearty and I’m hale; I’ve nothing in this world tp do But glide ’round with the mail, But one thing almost breaks my heart And my nervous system shocks, It’s the everlasting pennies That I’m fishing from the box. 1 carry stamps and envelopes, And postal cards and such; And I would like to sell a few—’Twould please me very much; But a man can’t sell unle s you buy, No matter how he talks; So hav i to keep on diving After the pera’fcb in the box. It’s alright in un- springtime, Or when summer breezes blow; But a different proposition When its hirty-two below; When all your fingers and your toes Arj frozen nard as rocks. H’s most anything out funny Scratching pennies from the box. And now quite confidentially, I’ll tell you something mdFe; A rural carrier (way out west) Forgot himself and swore; Says he: “I can stand the snow drifts, I can stand the frozen locks, But blast the measly pennies In the blasted measly box. When the “roll is called up yonder,” And we all shall gather there, They wouldn’t let a mail man In If they knew he’d learned to swear. If you want St. Peter to open the gate When your rural carrier knocks, Buy stamps and don’t be guilty Of putting pennies in th ebox.
