He did not look us if he were composed

as a sacrifice upon the altar of their beloved

YOUNG AT SIXTY.
Serene comfort and happiness in ad-
vanced years are realized by compara-
tively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to se-
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all com-
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. I'inkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
ous health in old age. From every cor-
ner of the earth there is constantly com-
ing the most conviuciug statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. J. C. Orms, of 220
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa., which is
earnest and straight to the point:
"Dear Mns. I'i.nkiiam:—I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that I
think your remedies are wonderful. I
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies I am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. I can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. I
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles."
The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi-
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.
straining a friendship.
A Story Which Snuppcd the ilonds
That Inited Two Sweet
Youiiti Thiuu*.
They were standing at the counter, and
I couldn't help but hear.
"Talk about hard luck," said the girl
with the hot chocolate. "I know a worn-
j m who had an awful thing happen to her
> over in New York."
i 'Oh, do tell me about it," gurgled the
[girl with the ice cream soda.
"Well," went on the chocolate girl, "she's
not wealthy at all, you know, and she
doesn't keep a nurse. So, one day, when
she had to go down town shopping, she took
her baby and left it at one of these day
nursery creche places. They gave her a
check for it, and she went off shopping. She
didn't come back to the creche till late in
the afternoon, ami when she went to take
out the check it was gone."
"( ood gracious!" said the girl with the
ice cream suda, looking shocked. "What
did she do?"
"Well," went on the chocolate girl, "they
told her she couldn't take the baby without
a check, and she'd have to wait till the other
babies were taken away, and then she could
have what was left. So she waited for hours
and hours, till all the babies were gone but
one, and when she went to get that—well,
the only baby left was a colored baby."
"Oh, how perfectly awful!" exclaimed
the girl with the ice cream soda, in accents
of horror. "What did she do? Wasn't she
perfectly frantic? My goodness, how hor-
rible! Didn't she ever get her baby back
again? I should think she'd have been per-
fectly crazy. What did she do?"
"Oil, said the chocolate girl, coolly, "she
took the colored baby. It was hers. She
| was colored, you know."
And in the silence which followed I could
hear the snapping of the bonds of a tender
and lifelong friendship.—Washington Post.

Out of every 50 young men who want to
volunteer at the different recruiting sta-

mated that at least 15 stipulate that com
missions shall be the p'rice of their sacri-

eventually convinced that as much glory

the army, but the majority go away insist-

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Svhup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syr up of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par-
ties. The high standing of the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken-
ing thorn, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company —
