Sometimes the back number is a man. Generally it is a woman. I am not going to try to explain why this is the case. There may be a variety of reasons. The first one that pre sents itself to me is that women lead too much of a shut-in life and do not have enough outside interests to oc cupy them. When a woman has little children it is natural and proper that she should he a great deal at home. Her duties keep her there. But oddly enough, that is not usually the time when she is a back number. Unless she is of a hopelessly vegetable type she is interested in her babies and in other women’s habit-;. She is keen to learn new things about housekeping and home conveniences and she wants to dress as w f ell as circumstances will permit and to have her friends come in and see her and the newest baby. She probably takes at least one wo- We Have Just received Our third Shipment of Childrens’ Slippers. Call and look Over what We have. The Shoe Store. same fleshiness does away with the wrinkles and her face is as smooth and rosy as that of a child. Her hair, which is still plentiful, she wears in flowing curls, because she wore them like that when she first met her hus band, some forty odd years ago. This gives her a rather singular appear ance, in this day of more convention al coiffures, and her dress does not make her look less odd. For one thing, she indulges in shirt waists, and this is an article of at tire that the middle aged woman should deny herself, if she is stout. Her corset was decidedly not of the straight front variety. She also wore a short skirt—another garment that is never becoming to a large woman. In imitation of the young girls whom she had seen wear four-in-hand ties, this woman had put on a turn down collar and a made up four-in-hand. Apparently she was entirely content ed with herself—but it would have been an exceptionally dutiful son or daughter who would with pride have introduced her to strangers. Yet had her dress been criticised, no matter how kindly, her feelings would have been hurt deeply. And for that rea son her family endures the mortifica tion of her eccentric aspect, loving her too dearly to wound her by a word of disparagement, or even of advice. The mother need not of necessity be obliged to entertain in an elabo rate fashion, any more than she must , dress in gorgeous attire. But she ' should make her children’s friends welcome to the family table, she should know what are their interests and ambitions, she should pay enough attention to her own dress to he sure that she will appear well in the eyes of her family and of others. She should share the pursuits of her sons and daughters so far as she can. The lectures and concerts and clubs that interest them should claim her inter est. She should join in their outdoor occupations. She should fish with them, row with them, walk with them, wheel with them. SALE RAPIDLY INCREASING Tin Mine Talk.

MANESS, Prop. men’s paper and reads it diligently and perhaps sends an occasional con tribution to the housekeeper’s col- 1 umn. As her children grow a little older and begin going to school she reads up on new educational methods and is proud and happy that her boy and girl are to have this and that advantage. When the children grow older and the girl goes away to school or comes home afterwards and when the boy goes into college or into business, she is deeply interested in all that con cents them—their dress, their pur suits and their friends. Up to this stage she is certainly not a hack number. We have seen her before and after she has crossed the “dead line,” and even if we do not understand why the change comes we are quick to recognize its effects. In the first place the woman grows careless about her dress. She is not untidy, but she does not take a healthful interest in the fashions. She looks what I heard one woman call “don’t care-ish.” That describes her very well. She doesn’t care about her dress, so long as it is clean and whole. She doesn’t care about ques tions of public interest. She doesn’t read the papers. She knows nothing of what is going on in the great world. She is inclined to be a little peevish or querulous, possibly. She feels that she is not of much use. Although most women do not recog nize the fact, the time when they be gin to he back numbers is long before they get there. The disease is one of slow growth. It shows itself first when the mother ceases to throw her self into the pursuits of her children, and takes for granted that since they have their friends she is not needed. When she leaves the room in the ev ening because Bessie or Mary is ex pecting callers, when she does not share in her daughters’ Interest in their new frocks or new companions, when she fails to join in her son’s enthusiasm over base hall or foot ball and to listen with keen interest to what “this fellow” said or “that fellow” did, when she comes to the point that she can no longer be a girl with her girls or a hoy with her boys, she is well on the way to a confirmed case of “back numberitis.” Her con dition demands heroic treatment and her children rarely dare apply it—or perhaps it does not occur to them. It is an exceptionally clear-sighted son or daughter who does not accept the mother as she is without making an effort to change her. Even when the effort does come from the daughter the mother does not always respond kindly to it. For one of the symptoms of hack number itis is resentment of criticism. And it must be ownofl that the ex perience is not one of unmixed grati fication. We all of us like to be well thought of. And for a mother who has thought pretty well of herself for years—even If she has not owned It —to he called to order by her young daughter for a fault In pronunciation or In grammar or for the cut of her skirt or the sort of stock she wears or the old fashioned way In which she does her hair, Is not the pleasantest experience one could select if one were searching for pleasant experi ences. Yet such medicine is good for the soul. It is part of the heroic treat ment that is to save one from becom ing a back number. As soon as one reaches the point where criticism is resented and ignored, growth and im provement are practically at an end. The other day I saw one woman who declines such physic. She is perhaps sixty years old and she has in her the possibility of being an attractive woman. Her figure is some what inclined to redundancy, hut this All this is not merely to be a com panion to the juniors and so to do them good and help them on in life. The association keeps the mother young. It brings her in touch with what is going on in the world about her and makes her feel a part of the great scheme of things instead of a self-centered atom off by herself. There Is no danger of her getting into a hack eddy and staying there if she is with her children. They are hound to go on and she goes with them. She can afford to expend a great deal of compassionate though on the woman who has suffered herself to become a back number. Mi-o-na, the Dyspepsia Remedy, Has Cured Hundreds of Gaffney Drug Co. Customers. One of the greatest successes in the sale of a medicine has been achieved by Mi-o-na, the dyspepsia remedy, and its sale is increasing so rapidly that Gaffney Drug Co., the popular druggists, have hard work to keep a stock on hand. It is very popular with well known bankers, ministers, lawyers and oth ers whose business or profession keeps them closely confined, while those who have brought on indiges tion through irregular eating, worry or other causes, have found a cure in this remarkable remedy. Mi-o-na is in the form of small tab lets and is sold in a metal box es pecially designed for convenience in carrying the medicine in the pocket or purse. It. is pleasant to take; costs but 50c, gives quick relief and makes lasting cures. This remedy has been so uniformly successful and made so many remark able cures that Gaffney Drug Co. will in future sell Mi-o-na under a posi tive guarantee to refund the money if it should not cure. No other dys pepsia medicine ever had a large enough percentage of cure so that it could be sold in this manner. A guarantee like this speaks volumes for the merit of the remedy. There is no time like the present to do a thing that ought to be done. If any one has dyspepsia, oday is the best time to begin curing it. The only time some women can draw a natural conclusion is when they wear a train. HANCOCK’S LIQUID SULPHUR.

Sued by His Doctor. “A doctor here has sued me for $12.50, which I claimed was exces sive for a case of cholera morbus,” says R. White, of Coachella, Cal. “At the trial he praised his medical skill and medicine. I asked him if it was not Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy he used as I had good reason to believe it was, and he would not say under oath that it was not.” No doctor could use a better remedy than this in a case of cholera morbus; it never fails.
