Who Refuse to be Women. I
Mrs. Catherine Buoiti-Ciibhorn,
dauKhter of the Salvation Army
founder, the laie General Vi'iiliam
Booth, who is an evangelistic
worker in Loudon spoke before
the International lJtirity Congress
at Sun Francisco on inotherhouJ,
which, she declared, "is the finest
of arts but a lost art."
She said:
"Society has developed, espec
ially within the la-t thirty years, a
vast army of women who will not
be women; married women who
avoid children; incapable mothers
who shirk the obligations and re
sponsibilities of motherhood. We
have women who are admirable
flirts, coquets and talkers, splen
didly efficient in all domains bus
iness, science and art. All profes
sions are now open to her She
can act, dance, paint, sing, type
write, keep books, defend a case
at the bar, or be a policewoman.
She can back horses, drink, g nn
ble and smoke; and, now be as
any man under Miss Col. Charles
worih, who is training troops of
women for Lord Kitchener. In
fact, she can do anything and every
thing except fulfil the highest of all
destinies, the bringing forth of
beautiful children and the making
of them into men and women who
will bless humanity.
"Woman's neglect and denial of
her highest vocation is bearing bit
ter fruit. We see it in the white
slave traffic more than anywhere
else. We see the fruits in the
hospitals. We see it in the refor
matories. Some of the finest ma
terial for the making of useful lives
is to be found there, run to seed
all through the lack of mothers.
"Woman is not altogether to
blame for her failure to fulfil her
destiny. The world has made and
worships this false woman.
"Motherhood was the first thing
lo go in Greece and Rome. The
Emperor Augustus saw his empire
expire through the white slave

Praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
Women from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from all sections
of this great country, no city so large, no village so small
but that some woman has written words of thanks for
health restored by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. No woman who is suffering from the ills peculiar
to her sex should rest until she has given this famous remedy
a trial. Is it not reasonable to believe that what it did for
these women it will do for any sick woman ?
Wonderful Case of Mrs. Crusen,
of Bushnell, III.
Bcsmnell, III." I think all the trouble I have had since my
marriage was caused by exposure when a young girl. My work has
been homework of all kinds, and I have done milking in the cold and
snow when I was too young to realize that it would hurt me. I have
suffered very much with bearing down puim iu my back and such
miserable pains across me, and was very nervous aud generally run
down in health, but since I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound my back never hurts me, my nerves are stronger, and I
am gaining in health every day. I thank you for the great help I
have received from your medicine, and if my letter will benefit suf
fering women I will be glad for you to print it." Mrs. Jajuss Crusien,
Bushnell, Illinois.
A Grateful Atlantic Coast Woman.
Ilowmov, Me. "I feel it a duty I owe to all suffering women to
tell what Lydia E. Tuikham's Vegetable Compound did for me. One
year ago I found myself a terrible sufferer. I had pains in both sides
and such a soreness I could scarcely straighten up at times. My
back ached, I had no appetite and was o nervous I could not sleep,
then I would lie so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around.
It seemed almost impossible to move or do a bit of work and I
thought I never would lie any better until I submitted to an opera
tion. I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and soon felt like a new woman. I had no pains, slept well, had good
appetite and was fat and could do almost all my own work for a fain
ily of four. I shall always feel that I owe my good health to your
medicine." Mrs. IIaywakd Sowkrs, Hodgdon, Maine.
For SO years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remed y for fe
male Ills. No one sick with woman's ailments
docs j tistlce to herself if she does not try this fa
mous medicine made from roots anil herbs, it

and
"fiat only when hungry
then eat less than you feel you
need," counsels Henry Ford.
"Try this for a week, and I'll
guarantee you'll feel beeter and
much healthier."
"Firmly convinced that most per
sons consume three times as much
food as they should and that glut
tony causes brain sluggishness and
an appetite for drink, Mr. Ford
has directed Dr. James E. Mead,
physician at the Ford Hospital, to
establish a department of dietetics.
It is declared that the several thou
sand employees of the Ford Moior
Company will be able to save at
least $1,000,000 annually by fol
lowing Mr. Ford's advice.
"Many of the best authorities
blame a great deal of the passion
for liquor upon gluttony," said
Dr. Mead, discussing the scope of
the new department.
"This department is in line with
Mr. Ford's efficiency propaganda.
In his new hospital the men will
be taught how to eat. One thou
sand private rooms will be provi
ded, the charge for a patient to be
$2 a day, which will include room,
board and nurse attendance. The
nurses will work in three skirts of
eight hours each.
"Thomas Edison eats less and
does more work than any other
man I know," said Mr. Ford to
day. "The best authorities I can
find tell me that we eat too much.
I myself have tried the theory that
less eating is beneficial and I am
thoroughly convinced that it is reliable.
, 'Think of the waste of food
stuffs there is, too. We wouldn't
feed an engine three times as much
fuel as it needed. Vet we pay

YOU TO Slili
THE BRIGHTNESS OF LIFE-
A thought that it winged from a friend 10 friend
Doesn't seem such a wonderful thing;
Yet ii carries the prayer for a joy without end,
And it throbs with a big, friendly ring.
A mere word of cheer in the shadow of nighi,
When discouragement darkens the way,
Will illumine our hearts with the glorious light
Of a hopeful and sun-brightened day.
When failure confronts us and darkens our goals,
flow we long for the clasp of a hand 1
Ii is then that we cry h oui the depths of our souls
For a friend who can just understand.
A bright, cheery smile often gives me the strength
That we lack in the vortex of strife,
For it lightens our load as we travel the length
Of the care-laden path we call Life.
So we find, after all, that the things we thought small
Loom colossal above all the host;
That ihe best of God's gifts are the friends we can call
To our side when we need ihem the most.

He had been on a hunting expe
dition for several days in the back
woods, roughing it raiher severely
and on taking a seat in a railway
carriage returning homeward he
looked as begrimed and weather
beaten a trapper as ever brought
his skins into a settlement.
He happened to find a seat next
to a young lady evidently belong
ing to Boston who, after taking
stock of him for a few minutes, re
marked:
"Don't you find an utterly pas-
sionful sympathy with nature's
most incarnate aspirations among
the sky topping mountains and the
dim aisles of the horizon-touch
ing forests, my good man?"
' Oh, yes," replied the apparent
backwoodsman, "and I am also
frequently drawn into an exalta
tion of rapi soulfulness and beatific
incandescent infinity of abstract
contiguity when my horse stumbles."
"Indeed!" said the young lady,
much surprised. "I had no idea
lhat the lower classes feel like
that."-Puck.

RATHER PARTICULAR.
Some lime ago an automobile
party was touring ihe back coun
ties when hunger seized the crowd.
Having a kit with them, they de
cided to make a Welsh rabbit, in
stead of going to a local hostelry.
To this end a trip was made to the
corner grocery for the raw mate
rials.
"We want a couple of pounds
of cheese and some large, square
crackers for a Welsh rabbit," said
the purchaser, going into the store.
"Got the cheese all right, an
swered the groceryman, "but
none o' them big square crackers.
How 'bout some little ones?"
"They won't do," returned the
purchaser. "We must have tht
large ones."
" 'Spose ye must if ye say so,"
thoughtfully commented the gro
ceryman, ' but it strikes me that
lhat rabbit is derned perlic'ler 'bout
his eatin'." Philadelphia Telegraph.
