End women who have been restored to

every woman yoti meet knows of the

In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,

thousands of (letters from Women seek

over their own signatures that they hare
regained their health by taking Lydia

many of whom state that it has saved
them from surgical operations.

and is perfectly harmless.

because it contains ingredients which act

girl is too young to assume the re

i.t0 rush without preparation
into matrimony. She wasn't old enough
to become a mother. She wasn't old
enough to be tied down to "housework,
sew, mend clothes, look after babies."
Little girls who have been shut up on
hay ranches need lots of recreation,
run, when they come in town. Little
girls of 17 were never meant to take
up the heavy tasks that wifehood and
motherhood attaches. They must be
treated like little babies themselves.
And .the man who marries them shoule
take all the needs of youth into con
sideration. Such girls are nearly always
inconsistent -That's why they should
marry men who understand Inconsist

I don't believe in ."blasted hopes ;or
dead loves or broken hearts." I'm like
the man who saw the camel for the

Of course . when the divorce taste is
still bitter in one's mouth, one is apt to
scoff. ; One is liable to see things
through spectacles that deform and dis
color the whole fae of nature.
, But, listen! You are young; you are
capable; you have your faculties, every
one of them. And you have two beau

They are something to ray your life
with sunshine. They have been given
you, to make them all that you would

keeping, that you may put into their
lives all - that you think you have
missed.-. There's your cure; there's your
happiness. How dare you talk of

years ago.
They think they will soon be earning
more, but thinks don't always come out
right When I started on that romance
I had a lot of clothes, bedding and a
few pieces of furniture and the first
year we lived on $350 for the year. It
took close economy, but we thought it
fun. Finances no better another year
and clothes thinner and the fun grew
less. It has been the same for 12 years
and I am so heartily weary of saving and
pinching and going without that I con
sider all wasted years. Had I worked
for myself those years I would now
have some money laid up, and could
dress like other women one meets.

have always dona my own work, sew

I had extra room, and often helped my
husband do his work and I know I am
not extravagant
Darra More says they grow apart

married couple to grow apart any more
than 12 years of constant privations and
nothing In common. And even if they
do, tt is better not to be married and
grow apart Don't babies T You will get

days when she crya herself weak, and
can neither sleep nor eat over the loss
of her baby, that is more than life.
Walt and see if he is capable of
being more than a14 aweek man. If
it is real love it can stand waiting and
if not 'tis better to find it out before
you marry. Ttetnember, girl, that you

Portland. Or March 2. Dear Miss

to ''Business Girl" in last Wednesday's
Journal .
I used to earn $12 a week, but I
married. When wo married my hus
band was 'out .of employment and didn't
have any money coming in. , He only
bad $50 in the bank. He soon got a po
sition at $15 a week and now he is
getting $18. '
I am not a slave nor a drudge, for I
enjoy -my work -We have been married
nearly four years and I know there isn't
a happier home than ours.

the click, of a typewriter, ail I think
far more of my own home than of an

IT is possible to pay too high a prioe
for the good things of life, no mat
ter how much satisfaction they may
bring us. This is especially true in
the case of purely material delights.
The temporary pleasure we derive from
them cannot compensate for the ills
that they may bring if the joys they
afford us are experienced at the cost
of physical hesJtii or spiritual strength.
Only the other day another master
mind of the financial world was re
moved from this sphere ef activity, and
the unanimous-verdict of the press was
that he had "worked himself to death."
Like Harrlman, he had undertaken re
sponsibilities that were beyond the limit
of any One man's strength, and as the
natural result nature had rebelled,,.
Of course, looking at such a life from
the strictly material point of view, the
feats that this man performed were
phenomenal, and he will probably long
be rated as one of the world's success
ful men.' It is an open question wheth
er this success was as genuine as it act
ually appears, however. We are put
into this world to live our life not for
the mere-purpose of accumulating a
storage vault full of stocks and bonds.
A mere dollar-and-cent viotory Is a
pretty poor result .to exhibit as the
product of a lifetime of labor and ex
perience. An if. in addition to this,
the money has been made by the sao
rit Ico of all that is highest and noblest
within ourselves we have still less of
which we can Justly feel proud.
Life la too high, a price to pay for
any temporal success. Work that
must shorten our days Is not profitable
work, no matter how big the pay may
be. So long as we know that there is
a limit to human endurance that there
is a bound beyond which mental and
physical strength cannot, go without
danger it is our first duty to keep well
within these limitations. i
And If there Is one fact In life , of
which we are certain it Is that physical
health demands a reasonable adjust
ment of each 24 hours that they may
include a proper amount of sleep and
recreation as well as work. It Is right
that we should aspire to succeed. It Is
right that we should try to make
money. It la right that we should be
eager to perform worthy tasks and that
we should aspire to bear great respon
sibilities; but to do all this we cannot
afford to neglect the other side of our
nature, and when the demands of work
become so great that they must shorten
the hours of sleep and Interfere with
the time that we should otherwise spend
in developing the mental and spiritual
sides of life, work becomes a menace
and no financial reward can compensate
for the price we may be called upon to
pay for the, privilege of violating these
natural laws.
