MAKE DUTY BURDEN
SOME PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH
CONSCIENCE
J -
i
Mr Bllltops Pursues the 8ubject for
a Little with a Concrete Illus-
tration— Few Seem to Be
Perfectly Balanced -
"Duty Bits light on some but” Bald
Mr Bllltops "how bard on others
"Now you take Mrs Bllltops what
do you think she said to me the ether
dayf That she was afraid she
wouldn’t have everything cleaned up
when'she dled!
"She don’t mean you know that
she wouldn’t leave everything clean
but what she meant was that she was
afraid she wouldn't leave everything
in order and all the mending done
and all that so that it all could be car-
ried along easily without-her that
she wouldn’t leave everything all
cleaned up ’ -
"What do you think of that for an
exaggerated burdensome sense of
duty?
"I’ve tried to reason with Mrs Bill-
tops about this but It's no use She
does her duty as she sees it and by
her light her duty is plain it is to
work work not for herself but for
others ’
“She Is very lenient with everybody
else but she never spares - herself
Whatever work there is to be done
she considers it her duty to do and
so she labors morning noon and night
and day after day I have told her
that I’d like her to be slack for a time
downright slack that she ought to let
things go occasionally anyway and
rest a little but she says that would
never do that if she once let things
go she’d never catch up And as it is
as I told you she’s afraid she won’t
leave everything cleaned up when she
dies! - -
“And so she works on never satis-
fied unless everything is done Just so
and always at it self-denying always
but with that sense of duty always
wearing on her impelling her always
to work work work And I suppose
there are 15000000 other women that
work in Just the same way though 1
am not so sure either than any one
of them works just as Mrs Billtopt
does so unselfishly and so devotedly’-
"I would give $1450 or more if I
could stop her but she says we are'
poor and the work must be done
though I know it would be--just the
same if we were rich that her sense
of duty would still oppress her for
she’s built that way Duty sits hard
on her
“A grand thing it would be for all
of us if we could really know our duty
and could perform it faithfully to the
full and yet not let it impose upon us
undue -burdens not let our sense of
duty harry us
"There are people now and then
to be met who' well knowing their
duty and performing It faithfully and
fully nor failing ever to take up cheer-
fully others burdens when they should
yet know as truly what burdens -they
may in all fairness and kindness de-
cline well balanced people these
who see clearly and are not in doubt
the few rare people who know what Is
right and who are by that knowledge
guided to their own great help and
no loss to that of all with whom they
may be associated
' "Would that we were all thus hap-
pily constituted”
An Australian Scoffer
When Prof Starr Jordan was in
Australia he said in the course of an
address: "If Great Britain were in
trouble there is not a man-inrthe
United States who would not be as
ready as yourselves to serve in such
a war for blood is thicker than wa-
ter” To whiph statement ttb Bris-
bane Worker replies: "Molasses is
tkicker' than either and the professor
is an expert in ladling out the
treacle” v
KNEW VALUE OF AN OATH
Colored Witness at Least Was Aware
of Its Pecuniary Worth
Clarence S Darrow the well known
lawyer and essayist discussing ' the
Haywood trial in which he played so
prominent a part said the other day:
"Some of the evidence in that trial
was so transparently false that it re-
minds me of a case that came off in
Alabama a few years back One of
the witnesses in this case was an ex-
tremely Ignorant man As his testi-
mony progressed his Ignorance be-
came so shockingly evident that the
Judge- looking sternly down at him
said:
“‘Look here sir are you acquaint-
ed with the value of an oath?’
"The witness answered anxiously:
" ‘Jedge I hope I am That thar
lawyer on yer left hand gimme six dol-
lars to sw’ar agin the other side
Thet’s the correck value of an oath
ain’t it Jedge?’”
FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA
Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep-
Hands Arms and Legs Affected
- — Cuticura Cured in 6 Days
"I had eczema nearly-fifteen years
The affected parts were my hands
arms-and legs They were the worst
in the winter time and were always
itchy and I could not keep from
scratching them I had to keep both
hands bandaged all the time and at
night I would have to scratch through
the bandages as the itching was so
severe and at times I would have to
tear everything off my hands to scratch
the skin I could not reBt or sleep I
had several physicians treat me but
they could not give me a permanent
cure nor even could they stop the itch-
ing After using the Cuticura Soap
one box of Cuticura Ointment and two
bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about
six days the Itching had ceased and
now the sores have disappeared and I
never felt better in my life than I do
now Edward Worell Band 30th U S

A Strenuous Hint'
It was growing very late but the
young man in the parlor scene shewed
no signs of making a home run
"You evidently have a very vivid
Imagination Mr Borem” said the
dear girl as she made an unsuccessful
attempt to strangle a yawn
"Why do you think so?” queried the
unsuspecting Borem
“I thought perhapB you imagined
yourself in the Arctic regions where
the nights are six months long” Bhe
explained
And 30 seconds fater he had faded
Into the glumpsome gloom

Hunt's Cure has been working on the
afflicted Its mission is to cure skin
troubles particularly those of all itch-
ing character Its success is not on
account of advertising but because it
surely does the work One box is
guaranteed to cure any case
Tennyson’s Melancholy
After meeting Tennyson for the
first time an Englishman asked the
poet’s friend Jonas Spedding if his
temperament was as melancholy as
his countenance indicated “Well”
Spedding began thoughtfully "I fancy
when he Is alone Tennyson finds him-
self in very grave company”

Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E Pinkham’e
Vegetable Compound Succeeds -
One of the greatest triumphs of
Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound is the conquering of woman's
dread enemy Tumor
The growth of a tumor Is so in-
sidious that frequently its presence
is wholly unsuspected until it is well
advanced
So called ‘‘wandering pains” may
come from its early stages or thd
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly periods
accompanied by unusual pain from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh
If you have mysterious pains if
there are indications of inflammation
or displacements secure a bottle of
Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound made from native roots and
herbs right away and begin its use
The following letters should con-
vince every suffering woman of its
virtue and that it actually does
conquer tumors
Mrs May Fry of 836 W Colfax
Aye South Bend Ind writes :
Dear Mrs Pinkham : —
“I take great pleasure in writ-
ing to thank you for what Lydia E
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has
done for me I also took the Blood
Purifier in alternate doses witl the
Compound ' Your medicine removed a
cyst tumor of four years’ growth
which three of the best physicians
declared I had They had said that
only an operation could help me I am
very thankful that I followed a friend's
advice and took your medicine It has
made me a strong and well woman and
I shall recommend it as long as I live”
Mrs E F Hayes of 26 Buggies St
Boston Mass writes :
Dear Mrs Pinkham : —
“I have been under different doctors
treatment for a long time without
relief They told me I had a fibroid
tumor my abdomen was swollen and
I suffered 'with great pain I wrote
to you for advice you replied and I
followed your directions carefully and
today I am a well women Lydia E
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound ex-
pelled the tumor and strengthened my
whole system”
Mrs Perry Byers of Mt Pleasant
Iowa writes :
Dear Mrs Pinkham
“I was told by my physician that I
had a fibroid tumor and that I would
have to be operated upon I wrote to
you for advice which I followed care-
ally and took Lydia E Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound I am not only
cured of the tumor but other female
troubles and can do all my own work
after eigh years of suffering”
Mrs S J Barber of Scott N T
writes :
Dear Mrs Pinkham:—
“Sometime ago I wrote you for
advice about a tumor which the doctors
thought would have to be removed
Instead I took Lydia E Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound and to-day am
well woman”
Mrs M M Funk Vandergrift Pa
writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham
“1 had a tumor and Lydia E Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound removed
it for me after two doctors had given
me up 1 was sick four years before I
began to take the Compound I now
recommend Lydia E Pinkham’s Veget
able Compound far and near”
Such testimony as above is con-
vincing evidence that Lydia E Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound stands
without a peer as a remedy for Tumor
Growths as well as other distressing
ills of women and such symptoms as
Bearing-down Sensations Displace-
ments Irregularities and Backache
etc Women should remember that it
is Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound that is curing so many women
Don't forget to insist upon it when
some druggist asks you to accept
something else which he calls “just
as good”

THE SOURCE OF ALL DISEASE
Every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and
strength ' When this life stream is flowing through the system in a state of
purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health
because pure blood is nature’s safe-guard against disease When however
the body is fed on weak impure or polluted blood the sj’stem is deprived of
its strength disease germs collect and the trouble is manifested in various
ways Pustular eruptions pimples rashes and the different skin affections
show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too
much acid or the presence of some irritating humor Sores and Ulcers are
the result of morbid unhealthy matter in the blood and Rheumatism Ca-
tarrh Scrofula Contagious Blood Poison etc are all deep-seated blood
disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains
These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood in various ways
Often a sluggish inactive condition of the system and torpid state of the
avenues of bodily waste leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and
form uric and other acids which are taken up by the blood and distributed
throughout the circulation Coming in contact with contagious diseases is
another cause for the poisoning of Jhe blood we also breathe the germs and
microbes of Malaria into our lungs and when these get into the blood in
sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health Some
are so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood perhaps the dregs of some old
constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they are
constantly annoyed and troubled with it Bad blood is the source of all dis-
ease and until this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the body is sifre to
suffer in some way For blood troubles of any character S S S is the best

and all poisons supplies the healthful properties it needs and completely
