WOMEN DISCOURAGED. BOOD AND SUFFICIENT REASONS for the blues. Doctor* Fail to Understand Symptom* That Ara Danger Signal*. A marked trait in woman’s character Is to place implicit confidence in her physician. A man must work entirely from the«ory in the treatment of female diseases, for unfortunately lets based on actual e, belong jmale sex Many woivho periically r«uf- ■ with attacks of faintness, dizziness, extreme lassitude, i*t care"

or want-to-be-left-alone feeling, do not at first realize that these are the infallible symptoms of womb trouble and the forerunners of great *u ffccing. Soon they grow to feel that the doctor does not understand their ease. Then they remember that “a woman best understands a woman's ills," and turn to Mrs. Pinkham. The following letter is but one positive illustration of this fact: — “Four years ago I began to suffer with great weaktess of the generatire organs. My > womb was pro- v lapsed; I suffered with continual If Mk wvSEir backache and all the other pains that accompany MM \ that weakness. I : tried doctor after [J doctor, had .^^s/ operations.

r, Pill Clothes. OH Th© good pill haa a good coat. Th© pill coat ) serves two purposes; it protects tho pill, en- \ \Mz abling it to retain all its remedial value, and it \ ,v7 disguises the taste for the palate. Some pill ( ) coats are too heavy; they will not dissolve in the stomach, and the pills they cover pass ; through the system as harmless as a bread f pellet. Other coats are too light, and permit tho speedy deterioration of the pill. After 30 years \ J exposure, Ayer’s Sugar Coated Pills have been / i found as effective as if just fresh from the laboratory. It’s a good pill with u good. coat.

HOW'S THIS FOR A CABBAGET Everything in California seems to be, big. Every school geography tells or the big trees which grow there—trees larger than are found In any other spot on the globe. This story has to do with an enormous cabbage. It has grown so tall) that It is really a tree. It is 12 feet high and the stalk is as large as a man's waist. For nine months this^ remarkable plant has been glowing, and It has not stopped yet. It is not the common cabbage, but belongs to ^Sggjg^ a wd-S Ei / /i M \

the kolilwort or kale family. It re sembles cabbage in many respects, but the leaves do not form the solid head j which is characteristic of the ordinary < ca bliage. । In many Southern States kale is high- t ly esteemed as “greens.” The small ] shoots are tender and edible, tasting « much like cabbage, whieh It resembb-s < while growing, as well as after being ] cooked. ’ The Isle of Jersey Is the home of the kale plant. It Is use<l there as a food ( for the diminutive buff cattle, which । have made the name of the Island known nil over the world. The giant California kale tree wus grown on the grounds of the State Agricultural College at Berkeley. The college authorities say that the leaves are much relished by chickens, and ns It produces green leave?, the year around ( in the mild climate of California, it Is highly regarded. The particular plant which has attained such un enormous growth does not differ from •cores of others on the farm, except in the mat । ter of size. The stalk has been stripped , of leaves to a point 10 feet from the , i ground. It tapers gnieefuUy and n sembles n young hickory tne. The top Is surroumhsl by a bunch of yellow, feathery flowers.

TURNED DOWN BY A WIDOW. The Old Man Did Not Seek to Discover the Reaaon. I had been stopping for a day or 0 with a mountaineer named Coin°«> who had been a widower for several years, and had grown-up children, and ks I was ready to proceed on my Jour ney he said he’d go along for a couple of miles, says the Detroit Free I reM.

A few turns of the shaft, as the glass is cooling, prevent adhesion.

Long Shots. The longest distance that a shot baa been fired is u few yards over fifteen miles, which was the range of Krupp’s 130 ton steel gun, firing a shot weighing 2,000 pounds. The gun cost $195,000 and each projectile $4,750. The Illton Armstrong gun has an extreme range of fourteen miles, firing a shot weighing 1,800 pounds and requiring 900 pounds of powder. These guns, however, proved too expensive, being unable to stand firing 100 times, and their manufacture has practically been abandoned. The 22 ton Armstrong gun hurls a solid shot for a distance of twelve miles, and the discharge of the gun cannot be heard at the place where the ball strikes. From twelve to thirteen miles is the computed range of the most powerful guns now made, and to obtain that range an elevation of nearly 43mlegrees is required. Ilomeacekers' Kxcursiona South.

There is comfort ha the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are n >t due to any actual disease, but simply to a constipated condl- - tion of the system, whicli the pleasan* j family laxative. Syrup of Figs, promptly removes. That is why it is the onlv !l remedy with millions of families, and fa j everywhere esteemed so highly hy all s who value good health. Its l-eneucial n effects uro due to the fact, that it is th« one remedy which promotes internal ’ cleanliness, without debilitating the l * organs on which it acts. It is therefore •• all important, in order to get its bene- ' ficial effects, to note when you pur* '. chase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep- ’- utable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa- . tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful s physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of I Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.
