WOMAN’S POWER. BTSHAPESTHE DESTINIES OF MEN AND NATIONS. Where Alen Are at a Disadvantage, and “Only a Woman Can Understand a Wo* man's Ills.” ' Woman's beauty, love and devotion, rule the world. Grand women ; strong mentally, morally and physically, whose ambition and magnetic influ ence urge men to deeds of grandeur *nd heroism. £ / Such women Are all-power A eakly, K\ F lp< I . HP sickly, ; F' I 1 women / J have little ambition; / I their own troubles oo ’ I eupy their thoughts, and U)?ir one object is to get well. They have no confidence in themselves, and only too often lose faith in their physicians. All irregularities, whites, bearingdown pains, nervousness, headache, backache, “ blues,” distaste for ■society, Rounds in ears, palpitation, emaciation, heavy eyes, “ all gone” feeling, dread of impending evil, sleeplessness, etc., should at once be removed and vigorous health assured.

GIRL LEADS A BANDIT GANG. Once a Church Member, Now As* sociates with Thievev. Edith May White, the Minneapolis girl who is alleged to be leader of a gang of thieves, is a fancy amateur bicyclist and formerly was a member of the Baptist church. Her family is very respectable. Evil associations and the love of a man who is a highwayman by profession, brought, her to her present level In criminal circles she is known as “Cranberries.'’ It is quite natural that the girl on being arrested should deny that she was the lender of the gang, which consisted of two besides herself. She even denied participating in the “hold-tips," though she admitted knowing of them. WIL __ \ / I -^a-x^ ‘X v EPirt’ way WHITE, qIRL BANDIT.

“The Old Yellow Almanac.” When Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote the poem having for title the same iea m,, as this article, she touched a chord that vibrated in thousands of hearts, hor Aver's Almanac, “The Old Yellow Almanac” of the poem, is intimately associated with the days mid deeds of a large part or the world's population. How large a part of the population this general statement may include can be gathered from the fact that the yearly issue of Ayer s Amnna< is from 17,000,000 to 2.>.000,000 copies. It is printed in twenty-eight editions and in some eighteen languages, including, besides English. Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, German, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian. Bohemian, Welch, Italian, French, etc. The old style almanac is looked upon by many as a relic of antiquity. especially the “patent medicine almanac,” wlwse jokes are the butt often of I lie very papers in whose columns they first appeared. But there are almanacs and almanacs. Ever since Dr. Ayers Almanac h®s been put out it has employed as high a class of mathematical and astronomical talent as is available in the country. The result is that it stands on a par, in respect of the reliability of its data and the .accuracy of its calculations, with the U. S. Nautical Almanac, and testimony tfo this fact is found year after year in Ilie letters, referred to the almanac departwient of the company, from students anil Diathematicians i-n various parts of the world.

Have lou a Headache? A noted physician has met with great Ftwcess in kite treatment of persistent ■cases of "nervous” headaches, and h« has fiimlly disclosed the secret.
