THE CHANGE OF LIFE INTELLIGENTWOMEN PREPARE Dangers and Pain of This Critical Period Avoided by the Uze of Lydia E. Pink bam's Vegetable Compound. How many wo men realize that the most critical period in a wo man's existence is the change of , life, and that the anxiety felt by women as this time draws near E d is not without reason ? If her system is in a deranged condi tion, or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, it is at this time likely to become active and, with a host of nervous irritations, make life * burden. At this time, also. cancers and tumors are more liable to begin their destruc tive work. Such warning symptoms as a sense -of suffocation, hot fashes, diz ziness, headache, dread of impending evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, pal pitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inqui etude are promptly heeded by intelli gent women who are approaching the period of life when woman's great change may be expected. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is the world's greatest remedy for women at this trying period, and may be relied upon to overcome all dis tressing symptoms and carry them safely through to a healthy and happy old age. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound invigorates and strengthens the female organism, and builds up the weakened nervous system as no other medicine can. Mrs. A. E. G. Hyland. of Chester town, Md., in a letter to Mrs. Pink ham, says: Dear Mrs. Finam: "I had been suffering with falling of the womb for years and was passing through the change of life. My womb was badly swollen. I had a good deal of soreness, dizzy spells, headaches, and was very nervous. I wrote You for advice' and commenced treatment with Lydia -E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com as directed, and I amhappy to say that all distressing symptoms left me, and I have passed safely through the change of life a well woman." For special advice regarding this im portant period women are invited to write to Mlrs. Pinkharn for advice, It is free and always. helpful. Many a lawyer has discovered that a wife's word is law.

It has generally been supposed that the commercial traveler is a product of our own busy day, but as early as 1757 a Sheffield cutlery manufacturer conceived the idea of sending to the continent glib talkcrs to convince the merchants that the English-made cutlery was superior tc that of local manufacturers, and so marked was his success that it was not long before the same idea was put into practie in oth er lines. As early as 1765 the term "bagman" had become common. the verd being defined in Murray's Dictionary of that year, the example being quoted from Goldsmith. The title "com.mercial traveler ' is the only modern part of the idea, the ancient bagman lasting until the im p'ovements in travel caused the term to become obsolete. In earlier years the salesman tray cled with his samples in a bag strapped to his horse's back and moved from placc to place, and it was not until the passing of the stage coach days that the sample trunk be came the feature of the traveler's out When the Bomb Burst. The Sultan-"And how did It hap pen. vizier, that you failed to inter pose your wordthless body between your sovereign and the bomb?" The Vizier-"Pardon me, your high ness, it was all over so quickly 'hat there was no time to make a move." The Sultan-"A wise servant antici pates the danger of his master." The Vizier-"Had I anticipated the danger, your highness. I would have prevented the throwing of the deadly missile." The Sultan-"Then you are not good at aticipat'on?" The Vizier-"No. your highness." The Sultan, smiling-"In that case you have not anticipated the fact that I am about to fine you twenty purses of 100 sequins each, and in addition to present you with thirty lashes across the soles of your unanticipative feet." -Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A lady who unconsciously drifted into nervous prostration brought on by coffee, says: "I have been a coffee drinker all my life, and used it regularly, three times a day. "A year or two ago I became subject to nervous neuralgia, attacks of ner vous headache and general nervous prostration which not only Incapacitat ed me for doing my housework, but frequently made it necessary for me to remain In a dark room for two or three days at a time. "I employed several good doctors, one after the other, but none of them wnis able to give mue permanent relIef. "Eight months ago a friend suggest ed that perhaps coffee was the cause of my troubles and that I try Postumz Food Coffee and give up the old kind. I am glad I took her advice, for my health has been entirely restored. I hav'e no more neuralgia, nor have I had one solitary bhedc :i all these eight months. No more of my days are wasted in solitary confinement in a dark room. I do all my own 'work with ease. The flesh that I lost during the years of my nervous prostration has c'ome back to me during these months, and I am once more a happy, healthy woman. I enclose a list of names of friends who can vouch for the truth of the statement." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

Martyu Hart, of the St. John's Cathedral, recently preached a sermon on "Tithing-the Divine Solution of the Social Prob lem." The text was from Matthew xxii:21: "Render. therefore. unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's and unto God the things which are God's." Dean Hart said: "It surely was no just argument that because the head of Caesar was upon the coin it therefore belonged to him and ought to be returned to the im perial treasury. any more than be cause the effigy of the king is struck upon the English sovereign that there fore all sovereigns are his property. "You will notice that the Lord had said. 'Show me the tribute money.' A bystander offered the coin, which lay In the extended palm of the Lord's band. The Jews have ever been the most precocious of money dealers. Had the Romans permitted them to pay their taxes in all manner of coins. great would have been the loss to the exchequer; therefore a coin was struck, and there are still some of tem to be seen. in which alone it was la- ---l to pay the tax. This coin had to be purchased from the publican of the district. who looked after his own interests. The 'tribute money' went to Rome. to the imperial treasury. "The man who had produced the coin had alread-y acknowledged his liability and had provided himself with the means of liquidating it. The coin was only of use for the one purpose; that one thing was the payment of the tribute. The questioner had answered himself. Fulfill your obligation.' said the Lord. 'and render unto Caesar the things that be Caesar's. and do not forget that the power of Caesar is only the representative of the higher power - whom kings reign, and if you admit the authority of the servant by so much more should you recognize the authority of the Master: render, there fore. unto God the things that are God's.' What. then, are 'the thing, of God' which we are required to ren der unto Him? "If the context requires that the parailel shall be continued, and it is in a sum of money that the answer must be given. then the only reply can be that one-tenth of every man's income is 'a thing of God.' Now what evi dence have we that this is so and what is the purpose of the law? "The ultimate appeal as to what Is truth must be the opinion of the race. If the opinion of all men could be taken as to the truth or falsity .of any proposition, that would be a final de termination. When anybody is in doubt of a legal or medical question. the only solution of the doubt is an ap peal -to men of the legal or medical professions. 'Counsel's opinion' is taken, or the sufferer goes to a doctor. If it were possible to extend this natural instinct to the limits of hu manity and upon any question of grave import the opinion of all men could be ascertained. then that expres sion would be as nearly truth as it is possible for us men to arrive at. "The Lincolnian canon is as sure a. rule as the most firmly established axiom. 'You cannot fool all the peo pe all the time.' There are, at least, double the number of Bibles in the world as there are all other books put together. If the list of the libraries in the wvorld be taken out of an en cyclopedia and the number of their volumes added. it will be found that in all the libraries which possess over 100.000 volumes there are 50.000.000 books, and if we allow that there are as many books in household libraries as in these great nublic collections, which is making a liberal estimate, we may safely conclude that there are not more than 100,000.000 secular books in the world. But dming the last century the leading Bible societies of E'n pe and America put out more than 200.000.000 Bibles. in, 360 differ ent languages. The British and For eign Bible Society turns out of its presses seven Bibles, or parts of the Bible, every minute. day and night. It is, therefore, the opinion of the race that this Book is 'the most valuable ting in the world,' as the Archbishop of Canterbury describes it. as he hand ed a copy to the new-crowned king. "The opinion of the race is that the Bible is a book of truth: that it is what it professes to be-the revelation of the heavenly Father to the children of men. Now if this be the case, it would be strange indeed if this com munication from outside our life did not instruct u.; as to the great desider ata of every individual. Let any one ask himself what would make him perfectly happy and content in this present state of existence. "The reply wouldi be: First, to have a conscience void of offense; next. to have no fear of death, but a looking~ forward to a glory to be revealed: and finally, to be remo~ved from any anxiety as to the necessities of living, As we should expect, the answers to these essential requirements of lire are given on the v'ery first page of human history. "In'the dramatic story of Cain and1 Abel the three provisions for satisfy ing these three fundamental wants are plainly statedI. T"hese two broth ers came together on the same day, at the same tinw, to the same place. for' the s-ame- puripoJse: there were two altars and each brought materia! for sacrifice. "The essential truth of sacrifice. d spite the immense ingenuity which has been employed to explain it away. remains stampled upon it. Millions of intelligent men hav-e brought an inno cent victim to an altar erected to the unsen but recognized God. Putting their hands on the head of the victim. tcey confessed the~ sins whlich lay a burden on their conscie'ne~: they thus killed the. sacriti cialI an;imalI: theyv burnt part of it and ate the rest of it. It wouid be an insult to the inte~li gnce of mankind 1o admit that all thme generations of men should, cne a ftcer ~rother, perform sacrifice in practical l the same way, and mean nothing by it. The meaning of its ritual is written large upon its surface. No sensible man could for a moment -be lieve that the wrongs he had done, and which h!e regretted and would undo if he could, and wvas prepared to make what atonement for he was able. he could transfer I a dumb animal by putting his hands on its head and con fesng his sins. That innocent ani mal represented some other Being. who 'could bear the sins of the world.' The only nation of theologians the world has ever produced kept dear the o'iinal revelation. They knew there was 'a Lamb of God tnat taketh away the sin of the world.' "That God requires of men a tenth of their income, as ai tax for the ge n era p urposes of the commonweal, and issued this law as one of the funda memal rules for the guidance of hnu nan society, is evident from the fact of is wide observance by ancient na ios n~ iensneut sunfice Tn Plutarcls life of the Dictator C:iil lus. it is recorded that after the takinr of the Etruscan City of Veil. the augurs reported from their inspe'tion of the sacrifices. that the gods were outraged. An inquiry was instituted and it was ascertained that the sol diers who had been concerned ir the sacking of the city bad neglected to dedicate the accustomed tenth tr the gods. Th senate decreed that the victorioas legions should make restitu tion and that a cup of gold of eight talents weight should be sent as a trespass offering to the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. "The Roman ladies brought. of their own free will. such liberal gifts of jewels and gold that the Senate. to honor them. decreed that funeral orn tions might be made at the obsequies of women. which hitherto had only been permitted over eminent public men. This extraordinary episode proves how rarely it happened that tithes were not paid and how grievous was the sin of omitting their payment. The further history of this incident also proves that the payment of tithes was a world wide institution and car ried with it .~ sacredness which can only be accounted for by admitting that it was a primitive and universally recognized law of God. "Three senators of high rank were appointed to carry the restored tithe, with the trespass offering. to Delphos. On its way the embassy was taken by the Liparians, who were then at war with Rome. But when the governor. of the city understood that the rich booty was tithe on its way to Delphos. he not only liberated the Romans. but sent a squadron of his own fleet to convoy them safely on their way. "This dedication at a tenth, for the common purposes of the community. could only have been devised by a mind which thoroughly understood the whole problem of the needs of human society. If it were honestly practioed it would be found just enough to alle viate all social pressure-and it is not a little to be wondered at. that the public eye should be blinded to such an exceedingly simple and easily ex ecuted law, which could readily be enacted and as readily executed. Sup pose that every citizen comprehended the effectiveness of the law of tithe and voted that it should be constituted a national income tax, what would be the result? "Consider the absolute impossibility of legislating against trusts or com binations of capital. Legislation against the natural processes of trade can never be a success. -The money getting proclivity is an element in the character of men, which. like other characteristics. varies in different peo ple. Those in whom it is large:y de veloped will accumulate money natur ally. If all the wealth of the com munity were evenly distributed i mong its individuals it would. in the course of a few years, go back again into the hands of those who 'possessed the apti tude of making money. The jaw of God would tax this capability for the benefit of those who do not possess it. and for those who by various disabil! ities gravitate below the line of com fortable living. "The taxation of a tenth will be found to be that exact fraction which everybody can subscribe without dis tress, and exactly that sum which will Iraintain those who from various causes are unable to maintain them selves. All communities have about the stme proportionite composition. and the example afforded by this city of Denver will be applicable to any other city mutatis mutandis. "This city is composed of about thir ty thousand houses. It will be readily conceded that for living purposes each house must represent a yearly income of $1000. So that the minimum income of this city is $30,000,000. The actual income is probably twice that amount. But see the effect of tithing this mni. mum $30.000,000. The tithe would be $3,000,000. Now, by actual r'ckoning. It is found that the income of the 125 churches, that is. all moneys gathered for all purposes from the peo~ple wor shiping in them, amounts to less than $300,000. Last year the incomes of tim' five largest denominations were: '! e Presbyterians, $36,000; the Episcopat lians, S48,000: the Congregationalists, $34,000: the Baptists. .S31.000,. and the. Methodists, $21.000. So that $250,000 will represent the religious income of this community. The County Commis sioners expended on relief $SG.000. The four hospitals did not spend in charitable work $50,000. The other so cieties which exist for eleemosynary purposes, together with all the private charity of the city, will havc their ex penditures well covered by $114,000. So that $500.000 represents the relig ious and charitable cost to a city of 105.000 people. of maintaining its churches, hospitals and charitable so cieties. The public school system. which is remarkably efficient. cost 4t.000. Thus, for all sorts of charit able relief, all sorts of religious effort and for public education the city of Denver spent $1.000,000. If tithing were mn force the tithe commissioners would have. at the least. $3,000,000 ot their disposoli-that means to say that the churches mnight all be free, the hospit'ils wid e open and wvell equipped: public laundries might relieve the women of the work ing classes: their food might be cooked at the public kitchenst every nian too old to wvork might be pensioned: the streets might be gardens. where all such pensioners might have easy labor, and every reasonable cause for discon tent might be removed. Let the people demnand that an in come tax of a tenth shall be a r atomil levy. The English pay income lax, why should not Americans? Th e Mor mons pay tithe, and they have nio p~oor and no discontent, so far as the matter of living is concerned.

Sketching one day in Burma, an English artist noticed a man -a little distance off glaring straight ahead of. him at some object he could not see from his position. The man sat with the same fixed glare the whole after-. noon and was at it again next morn ing. The artist had the curiosity to ask an English visitor what it meant. The reply was: "Oh, he is in love!" And It was explained that this was their method of courtship. The object of the man's attentive gaze was a girl in a neighboring bazaar. When a young man falls in love, he his to seat himself at a certain distance from his adored one and wait for her to do the rest.

Then fill the bowl of the pipe with fine-ground Cal cium Carbide. Next tie a rag over head of the bowl to keep in the Carbide. Now put the pipe into a Glass of Water, as in picture. 1/ There you have a complete Gas- - N. plant for 25 cents. -_ Touch a match to the Burner and you'll get a beautiful White Gas light. Of course. this is only an experi ment, but it shows the wonderful sim plicity of Acetylene Lighting That very simplicity gave Acetylene Light a setback, at first. It seemed so simple to turn Calcium Carbide into Gas-light that over 6oo different kinds of "tanks" and ''Acetylene Machines" were invented, patented, and marketed for the purpose, by about as many different people. Well, the thing to be expected certainly happened! About 530 of these "Acetylene Machines" had been invented and sold by people who knew more about Tinware than they did about Gas-making. The "Calcium Carbide" was all right al the time, but 53o of the machines for turning it into 'Gas were all wrong all the time. So Acetylene Gas "got a bad name." though it is clear enough now thaI it never descrmd it at any time. It was like selling Wood Stoves to burn -lard Coal in, and then blaming the Coal for not burning. * * * Lots of things happened to grieve the Owners of these 530 makes of alleged "Acetylene Machines." But very few accidents occurred from them even in the days of rank experiment and dense ignorance, among, "Generator" Makers. Of course, a gun will go off unexpectedly, now and then, if the trigger be pulled by a person who "didn't know it was loaded." But, that's no fault of the Ammunition-is it? Well, finally the Insurance Companies got after these 53o odd makes of "Acetylene Machines" that wouldn't Acetylate, and the Insurance Board made an investigation of all Generators that were submitted to them. Then, out of the 6om odd "Machines" patented, only about 70 were "permitted" by the Insurance Board to be used. Oh, what a howl was there!

Whiic' tisea any one of these 70 Aceivlene Generators it had found safe, and effective, just as it permitted houses to be piped for City Gas, or wired for Electricity, under proper conditions. Now, the Insurance Companies ought t.o know whether or not these 70 different makes of Acetylene Generators were absolutely Safe to use. Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire or Ex plosion occurs, from any one of the Acetylene Gener ators they authorize. And. here's a proof of their good judgment. Though there are now Two Million people ising Acetylene Light in America, there have only been four Fires. from it in one year, against 886 Fires from Kerosene and Gasoline. There have also been 46ni Fires from Electricity, 1707 Fires from City Gas, and 520 Fires from Candles. Besides these there have been 26 Fires from -the Sun's rays, But,-only four Fires from Acetylene. That shows how careful the Insurance Board was in its examination of Acetylene Generators; and. in "permitting" only the 70 makes 'that were above sus picion, out of the 6oo experimenis that were once on the market. Well,-the boom in Acetyene T:igltng made lower prices possible on the material it is derived from, viz., Calcium Carbide. a material that looks like - Granite but acts like Magic. Today, Acetylene Light is a full third cheaper thau Kerosene Light, or Gasoline Light. per Candle Power. It is not more than half the price of Electric Light, nor three-fourths that of City Gas. If I can't prove these statements to your full satis faction my name is not "Acetylene Jones." But Acetylene is more than the safest and cheapest Light of the year 1905. It is also the Whitest Light-the nearest to natural Sunlight in health-giving Blue and Violet rays, and because of this. with its freedom from flicker, it is the easiest of all Artificial Light on the Eyes. It is so much like real Sunlight that it has made plants grow 24 hours per day in dark cellars where no ray of Sunlight could reach them. It made them grow tuice as fast as similar plants that had only the Sun light of day-time, viz.. half the time. That was proven by Cornell 'University in a three months' experiment made this very year. * * *. Now, I've saved up for the last a point more im portant to you than -all the others about Acetylene Light. It consumes only one-fourth as much of the vital Ozygcn from the Air of Living rooms or bed-rooms as either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes. That's a tremendous difference in a lifetime, mark you-three-fourths of a difference. Because,-Oxygen is Life. And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs of Women; Children and Mcn. through Lighting, is a loss that can rever be made good again. A 24 Candlc-Pov'er Acetylene Light costs you only two-fifths of a cent per hour. That's about $5.85 per year, if burned every night in the year for four steady hours. A Ierosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you a third more, viz.: three-fifths of a cent per hour for Kerosene alone. or $8.75 per year. That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys, new vdicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger of cleaning, filling and trimming daily. I want to prove these figures to you, Reader; if you are a house-owner or storekeeper. Tell me how many rooms you.'ve got and I'll tell you what it will cost to light them with brilliant, beautiful, Saoitary, eye-saving Acetylene.
