MEDICAL HINTS From Authorities | Facts That Every Woman | Should Know | i | It is conceded hy all recent medical authorities. that within the last twenty-five to fifty years there has been and still is a steady || and increasing tendency. on 'the || Part of American woman to de- || Tangements of the reproductive || fystem. Whether this increasing | tendency is due to peculiar cli- | matic conditions; to more seden- || tary and luxurious habits; to the || Sreater employment of women in || manufacturing, in business and in professional life; to other and as Yet undiscovered causes or as is most probable, in varying degree to all the foregoing, is still a mooted question with the medical profession. To those who have never given the subject attention or investiga- tion, it would be a matter of the utmost surprise to learn of the large proportion of American wo- 'men who frequently suffer from fanctional troubles. One cele- brated writer says: "There is per- haps no disorder of the genital functions so common 'among civil- women as suppression of the menses," Another authority de- || : "In women there is no furftion of greater importance than that of the catamenia (menses), and in none are de- rangements more frequent.' Not infrequently long and ob- Stinate suppression of the menses it not relieved, results in the pa- tient "going into decline" and dy- of consumption, - Almost equally common is Dys- menorrhoea (painful menstra- tion) which, unless relieved, im- pairs and wrecks the health of the sufferer. Thus, an authority OR nervous diseases says: "There is but little doubt that derange- ments of the menstrual function have much to do with the occur- rence of Hemiscrania, Mascody- nia, Vaginadynia, Hystealgla, Overalgia, Neuralgias and a long train of other nerves affections in women. Says another author: "Some wo- men through ignorance, many through recklessness, and a few from necessity, go out lightly clad in the most inclemént weather, and many suffer in consequence from Amenorrhoea, violent Dys- menorrhoea, and other derange- ments of the menstrual funec- tions. Many other citations from au- thorities could be given, but the foregoing should be sufficient to satisfy everyone that there is a real need and a wide and legiti- mate fleld for a reliable and effi- clent remedy for these conditions. It is to meet this constantly growing need and demand for a thoroughly reliable remedy for these functional derangements, especially one of the most common of them, Le, the Amenorrhoea SSungrension of the menses) that thé formula for the remedy we ad- vertise and sell under the name of DR. MARTEL'S FEMALR PILLS was originated and perfect-. ed. This remedy was prescribed in private practice by one of the most noted physicians in New York for 40 years (in all cases for which it is recommended) and has been on the matket for 20 0dd years, which is positive proof of its value, These pills are sold by reliable everywhere for $2.00 box.

Charles Stelzle. The big church on the boulevard was being dedicated in'a week's spec ial services. It had cost jiterally hun- dreds of thousands of dollars. Nothing that the ingenuity of the architect could suggest that would increase the beauty of the church and the .com- fort of the people was neglected. And in the week's services nothing was per mitted that might spoil the harmony of this most auspicious occasion. An: all this was well, The music~it was the best of its kind that money could bliy, for the men in this church could afford to engage the choicest siugess, A great organ had been installed. It was the latest and finest product of the master builder. The man who pre- sided at the keyboard was the city's greatest musician, And this was right, too, no doubt. For why should a church spend a fortune on a musical instrument asd Jhen turn it over to a mediocre player But all foro h the week there was one woffian whose heart was sore. For thirty years she had been play- ing the organ in the old church. rea- chers came and preachers went -- it seemed to be mostly the latter-- but the old organist remained. Some of the eachers were progressive--even ra- Bical while others were extremely conservative, but the organist had been satisfactory to them all, Somehow she never failed to adapt herself to the mood of the preacher, and she seemed always to provide the music which ve greater power to the jncaage of e anne, no matter what it hap- pened to be ~ Now, preacher and people were en- tering the grand new church with its great new organ. It soon became a parent to all that the old organist would not do for the new environment 'order of things. She pi as well as she ever did, but the Jcmands were sure to be exacting, an e entire pro- gramme was fi erent and so the old organist was left behind. Not that, quite, for these were Christian men who ran this church--they pensioned her. And this was commendable. But still--the old organist While the Hreeics meetin, gress in the great new cl 4, back in the old building, over the stacks of sheet music, whic she had selected from among all the wealth of ha y produced -by the world's music masters. But most of the time she was seated at the o playing the old-time melodies, which brought ce of mind and renew- ed hope to usands wu, thousands of weary pilgrims on life's hard road. the old organ seat troubled search for it, but it was now- here to be seen.

But such is the tragedy of old age. With the heart still young and the soul still alive to the world's best achievements,. men and women are dropping out of things, because the race has become too swift--but often because incidentally the world de- mands their places to display its "-. gods of the worship- ers of efficiency forgetting, mean- while, that whatever system 'shoves aside a worker of any kind, is failing in those fundamental laws which make Somehow she did not fit into the 1% + ~~ edge of each local Making for the welfare and happiness of the entire human race. What do the rich enjoy that the poor may not possess? Oh, many things, you'll say--money, and all that it will buy, That's true, but what does money buy? - It will buy food. But even the poor have food. It may not be as choice as that which the rich enjoy, but it is a question whether the rich get as much satisfaction from their food as the poor do. They spoil a lot'more than the poor eat. And more people die of over-eating than starvation--in this country, anyway. It will buy shelter, - It will buy a house of a hundred rooms But who will deny that the humblest home in the land is often richer in comfort and real joy than the most pretentious "house"? Of what use is a_house if it isn't a home? It's only a place of shel- ter, and a hut may be that. But a hut with love and sympathy and friend- ship is a far better shelter than a man. sion without it. It will buy clothes. Stylish clothes; clothes that will arouse envy and hat- red and often contempt; clothes that keep the body no warmer than those that the average workingman wears. Let's admit that good food and fine houses and beautiful clothes are des- irable, It's a queer kind of a person who does not want them in preference to poor ones. But to be deprived of these isn't the worst thing that can happen to a workingman. The worst thing that is happening to working people today is that they themselves are denying themselves the things that really enrich life--whether a man have money or not. After all, life is made up of little things. For example, to call your wife "dear" --and mean it. The word itself doesn't signify much, but there's a wealth of love back of it. It's usually a sign of culture and refinement, among other things. To speak tender- ly to your children, and have them love you, sincerely This is worth while To sit down quietly in the evening-- 'mot necessarily to talk, but to "under- stand," Such an evening is worth much more than one t in everlasting chatter. To look at a beautiful sunset, to study a picture, to admire a flower. Money daesn't buy such joys. Usually money takes them away. Working people often cheapen themselves by saying that these things are not for them. Why not? For of such things are many of the deepest joys of life. a ---- CROP REPORTS. Montreal, Oct. 12.--Below will be found a brief synopsis of telegraphic reports received at the head office of the Bank of Montreal from its branches. The branch managers have complete and intimate knowl- situation ang are in close touch with Crop condgi- tions in all sections of the districts mentioned. ---- General, Taken as a whole, the present yéar is one of the best that Canada has ever experienced as regards the quantity and quality of the crops. In the Prairie Provinces the yield of wheat is estimated to be close upon $80,000,000 bushels or some 100,- 000,000 bushéls larger than last year, and yields of other grains are proportionately greater. the grain is grading high. The Province of Ontario probably never bad a nore splendid all-around crop than this year. The average has been considerably exceeded in practically every class of agricultur- al produce. Heavy crops have also been garnered in Quebec and the Maritime Provinces. British Colum. bia suffered from drought in the ear- ly 'part of the season, an unusual condition which cut the ylelds to be- low average, -- Prairie Provinces. Owing to the early harvest, 7,- 000,000 bushels of new wheat werd marketed in August and a further 95,000,000 in September, an ab- normally large movement, with which the Rallways coped in an ex- cellent manner. During the first two weeks of September, threshing was delayed by rein, but owing to cool weather there was little damage trom/ sprouting. Wheat is grading _{ high, the bulk of the receipts run- ning Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Northern. The yleld of wheat is estimated to rua ' {ftom 350 to 380,000,000 bushels as compared with 280,000,000 bushels last year; oats 400,000,000 bushely compared with 338,000,000; barley, 55,000,000 bushels as compared with 44,000,000. i . ee er rr er sr ere -------- --- re ..
