Could Not Shut Eyes to Sleep--Spent $100 on Doctors--Baby Grew Worse--Cured by Cuticura -.for $5. "A scab formed on my baby's face, spreading until it completely covered her from head to foot, followed by boils, having forty on her head at one time, and more on her body. Then her skin started to dry up and it be­ came so bad she could not shut her eyes to sleep. One month's treatment with Cuticura Soap and Ointment made a complete cure. Doctors and medicines had cost over $100, with baby growing worse. Then we spent less than $5 for Cuticura and cured her. (Signed) Mrs. G. H. Tucker, Jr., 335 Greenfield Ave., Milwaukee, Wis."

WOMEN, AND CONSIDER THE ALL-IMPORTANT9 FACT That In addressing Mrs. Pinkham you ere confiding your private ills to a woman -- a woman whose experience with wo­ man's diseases covers a great many years. You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man--besides a man does not under­ stand--simply because he is a man. Many women suffer in silence and drift along" * from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing them­ selves to the questions and probably examinations of even their family physician. |t is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great, Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation: Women suffering from any form of female weak­ ness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks noth- i ing in return except your good-will, and her* advice has relieved thousands.

Worthy Enterprise Established fn Southern Cal­ ifornia--So Arranged That Patients May Be Self-Supporting. •q/W- T- r .HOW TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ESCAPED 1 HEALTH CAMP FOR C8KSUSF.„L» j, PELVIC CATARRH BY AID OF PE-RU-NA." < A New York paper publishes an ac­ count of a successful effort recently made by Mr. N. O. Nelson, in South­ ern California, to provide for the poor­ er classes. Mr. Nelson has established at Indio, in Southern California, what he calls a health camp for consump­ tives. We quote the following de­ scription of this worthy enterprise with the hope that it may encourage others to do likewise; for certainly no more beneficent work can be under­ taken by anyone: "The camp is located in a desert valley, cut off from the ocean by the mountains. There is no rain, no fog, no clouds. The winter days are all* warm, the nights comparatively oold. ' • - . "The camp was established in De­ cember, 1902, to provide in part for the large number of consumptives and other invalids who go to Southern California. Most of the Invalids have little means; they can not afford ex­ pensive sanitariums, and are not want­ ed by hotels and boarding houses. ] • * "To meet the requirements of such patients, Mr. Nelson bought one hun­ dred and twenty-five acres of land ad­ joining the Indio depot. This tract he has improved by sinking artesian wells, and by putting most of the land under cultivation, in order to give con­ valescents something to do. "Tents, with all necessary equip­ ment for sleeping and taking meals, have been set up. Land and water are free to those who have their own outfit. A smaH rental for tents is made to those who can not pay, and where necessary, board is given them. All expenses reed not be more than from $2.50 -to $4.00 a week. "Work is provided for those who are able to do it, so that their care does not become a burden on the camp. "The camp is situated in the midst of a sandy valley one hundred miles long and three to ten miles' wide. The mountains on each side rise by degrees to four, thousand and five thousand feet high. In some places in the foothills there are springs and vegetation. "In the valleys most of the land has been taken up in the past few years. The crops of melons and vege­ tables are early and bring high prices. From $100 to |200 an acre is an ordinary yield. Alfalfa hay is cut ten times a year, giving twelve to fifteen tons an acre. "When the campers get well enough to work, they buy or lease a few acres. They can either buy the land on the instalment plan, or lease it on shares for such length of time as de­ sired." , Alcohol and Tuberculosis. Dr. S. A. Knopf, the eminent KeW York physician who has given a great deal of attention to the subject of tuberculosis, took occasion npt long since in a scientific paper to condemn the popular notion that alcohol is a remedy for consumption. He says: "There is an idea that alcohol is a remedy or even a specific remedy for consumption. There has never been a greater mistake made. Alcohol has never cured and never will cure tuberculosis. It will either prevent or retard recovery. It is like a two- edged weapon; on one side It poi­ sons the system, and on the other side it ruirs the stomach and thus prevents this organ from properly digesting the necessary food. Truly pathetic are the results of this erroneous doctrine In the families of the poor, where, in­ stead of procuring good nourishment for the Invalid, liquor has been bought in far too large quantities, so that often there was not enough money left for food for the sufferer nor tpr the other members of the family." Predisposition to Tuberculosis. The abnormal fear of tuberculosis which haunts so many minds is bred of ignorance. The awful results of the "white terror" have impressed themselves upon all, but as with the aborigine, when he first encountered the gun-bearing explorer, the reason why is hidden. The native heard the gun speak and saw his brether fall. The sudden death terrified him. H? did not stop to inquire the cause. He fled in abject fear. To-day the ravages of tuberculosis are stupendous. Are you Inquiring into the why, or are you trembling lest it seize you? Are you trying to dodge an inscrutable foe, or are you studying to give intelligent battle? The tenement dweller says, "I can not escape the plague, I will await my turn." The son or brother of a con­ sumptive says: "It is In the family, I must suffer the same death." The weakened victim of intemperance or neglect of vital laws says: "My con­ stitution is wrecked--I am no match for this relentless foe." Dr. Knopf asks and answers the following pertinent query: "Who are the individuals who must be particu- THOUGHT EGAN WAS PUGILIST Ex'Minieter to Chili Mistaken for "Mike" Donovan. Patrick Egan, former minister to Chill, strongly resembles "Mike" Don­ ovan, the ex-pugilist who has been giving boxing lessons to President Roosevelt. The other ^day Mr. Egan called at the white house and was somewhat embarrassed by the ques­ tions hurled at him by a couple of youthful newspaper men. "Hullo, Mike," said one of them, "going to give another lesson?" Before reply could be made the other reporter chimed In: "I hear he has a poor left You want to improve that, Mike." "I should think," said No. 1, "you would have difficulty in making him fast on his feet, he's so chunky, you know." By that time Mr. Egan's dilemma was observed by Maj. Loeffier, the presi­ dent's doorkeeper, who explained. The reporters apologized and Mr. Egan escaped. To Produce Pound of Silk. It requires 2,300 silkworms to pro* duce one pound of silk. larly careful so as not to be attacked by the almost ever present ̂ tubercle bacillus. ' "There are four classes: First, those who have a hereditary predisposition to consumption; secondly, those who have weakened their system and thus predisposed themselves to consump­ tion by the intemperate use of alco­ holic beverages, by a dissipated life, by excesses of all kinds, etc.; thirdly, tuose whose constitution has been weakened through disease: fourthly, those whose occupations, trades Oi professions, such as printing, hat mak­ ing, tailoring, weaving, and all occu­ pations where the worker is much ex« posed to the inhalation of various kinds of dust, have rendered them particularly liable to consumption." Let every one take courage and live above tuberculosis. If you are already suffering from it strive to rise above it. Avoid alcoholic beverages, condi­ ments, pastries, tea and coffee. Live out of doors, provide fresh Air for your bed room, study the laws of your body and Return, to the natural way of living. . That Tired Feeling. The condition of lethargy produced by excessive eating or habitual drunk­ enness must be distinguished from fa­ tigue due to work. Persons in this condition often decline to exercise be­ cause they "feel so tired." This state of lassitude and enervation cannot be overcome by rest. Carefully graduat­ ed exercises and regulation of the di­ etary are the proper remedies. There are many chronic invalids whose suf­ ferings and disability are wholly due to this cause, and who may be read­ ily restored to usefulness by a spare and simple dietary combined with out­ door exercises, gradually increased in vigor and duration as the strength im­ proves. Water Purification. A physician connected with the United States Agricultural department has called attention to the fact that an extremely small quantity of sul­ phate of copper will prevent the growth of algae in lakes, ponds and storage reservoirs, and will destroy typhoid and cholera germs. The ques­ tion at once arises whether this meth­ od can be considered thoroughly hy­ gienic. The probability is that the small amount of copper thus em­ ployed would be neutralized by com­ bining with vegetable substances so that the water will be left practically pure; nevertheless, the addition of chemical substances to water cannot be considered the most desirable method of purification. Boiling and filtering through a Pasteur filter are really the best methods. Filters are cheap, and boiling is an easy and sim­ ple process. The old-fashioned char­ coal and gravel filters cannot be re­ lied upon. • Warning Against Tight Coriets. Nature abhors a vacuum. There Is no unoccupied space in the body; and to render any part of it smaller than nature designed, is to cause the or gans occupying that part to diminish in size, or to crowd together, one upon another. In either case, nature's .proc­ esses are sadly Interrupted.--C. E. Hastings, M. D. SOME SIMPLE DISHE8. Breakfast Toast.--Cut rather thin slices of bread into two or three pieces. Put these into the oven and let them bake very slowly for two or three hours, or until of a golden color and crisp throughout. This Is an ex­ cellent substitute for breads and much more wholesome. It is delicious served with cocoanut or dairy cream or but­ ter. Cocoanut Cream.--Cut fresh cocoa- nut into thin slices and grind the nut very fine in a chopper or some strong hand mill. If nothing of this sort Is available, the cocoanut may be grated.1 To each cup of the prepared nut add one cup of hot water, stirring and beating with a spoon to extract as much of the Juice as possible. Drain off the. liquid and add a similar quan­ tity of hot water, and, after beating again very thoroughly, strain through a cloth or very fine sieve, pressing out all the liquid possible. This may be used at once as a substitute for milk, to be eaten with rice or other grains, or to prepare puddings or sauces. It is excellent served with granoSe flakes or eaten with zwie­ back. If placed on the ice for a few hours, the cream will rise to the top and may be taken off, making a pure occoanut butter. 8trawberry Egg-nog.--Beat the yolk and white of one egg separately, and to each add one teaspoonful of sugar. To the yolk add one teaspoonful of lemon juice and two tablespoonfuls of strawberry Juice. Stir In the white, leaving enough to serve as a meringue for the top. FENCE HARD TO DESCRIBE. Representative' Had Good Excuse, if He Had Known. "Can you tell me what kind of a fence there is around the capitol grounds?" said Mr. Olmsted of Penn­ sylvania to Mr. Payrie of New York ir. the Republican cloakroom of the house the other day. "I don't V«lieve I can," Mr. Payne replied. "Well. I was up at Harrisburg the,other day," continued the Pennsylvanlan, "an^i seme smart citizen asked me about the fence around the capitol grounds ar Washington. You know, they are going to buili a fence around the Har­ risburg capitol grounds, and they wanted some guidance from me." "Couldn't you tell 'em?" queried Mr. Payne. "I wasn't quite sure about the fence around the capitol grounds here," quoth Mr. Olmsted, "but you bet I know now. I have looked. There isn't any at all." * Supplement to an Old Saying.

Mrs. Lizzie Redding, 3134 B Clifton Place, St. Louis, Mo., writes: "I found, after trying many different medicines to restore me to health, that Peruna was the only thing which could be depended upon. I began taking it when I was in a decline, induced by ! female weakness and overwrought nerves. "I began to feel stronger during the first week ; I took Peruna and my health improved daily until now I am in perfect health and enjoy life as I never did before."--Lizzie Redding. Mrs. Mable Bradford, 13 Church street, Burlington, Vt., Secretary Whittier Oratorio Society, writes: "Peruna is certainly a wonderful medi­ cine for the ills of women. I have heard it spoken of in the highest praise by many, and certainly my experience is well worthy of a good word. "I began to have severe pains across my back about a year ago, brought on by a cold, and each subsequent month brought me pain and distress. "Tour remedy was prescribed, and the way it acted upon my system was almost too good to be true. I certainly have re­ gained my health and strength, and I no longer suffer periodical paias and extreme 1 lassitude."--Mable Bradford. " ,v V-" TfRS.
