WORRY AND WRINKLES Despondency is a thing of evil re- sults. Worry pro- duces nothing but wrinkles and wretchedness. Let the reader put a note on her bureau, on her desk, and at Hie head of her bed. ju8t two words, "Doa'l Worry" Worry U the greatest foe to the happiness of any house- hold. An anxious, despond- ent face, a fretful, complain- ing voice, will make every one uncomfortable. A woman's flferves are tnor© truly the cause of worry than outside troublea. The nerves are to a woman's body the telegraph system which surely warns her of any trouble in t4» feminine make-up. Doctor Pierce's Favorite Pre- eoiiptlon is the ideal woman's tonic for such conditions. When a woman oompUdns of backache. di:iidnea8 or paia- when every- thing looks Wack before ber eyesâ€" a drareinST feeling, or is troubled with nervowneeB, she should turn to this "temperance " herbal tonic. known as Dr. Pleroe's Favorite Prescription.

It is amazing to see how their Tocabulary develops, and how they at- tempt to use every new word they hear. Reasonable care should he taken in the home circle to have the family discussions beneficial to the child in words and tone. Of course the conversation cannot always be regulated to suit the child: but when the childish, ears are wide open, let the wordi heard be helpful rather than harmful. Disputes of any kind are not good things for a child to hear. And to give an exhibition of temper is the quickest way to lose influence over a child. Children piclc v.p v.orii.? an u.?e the'.n often l;efore they grasp their mean- ing. The word u;ay be a good one to use or not; but in ciiher c;ise let the mother exiJlain the meaning to help the child decide wheUier the new word should bccou'i' i:art oi his vocabulary. .\cw words ;ire very real affairs to a child, since they stand for ideas. The parents who explain the right way to use these words are making ths ideas dear in the childish mind and the child's confidence in his parents is strengthened. lie looks up to th m as wonderfully wise people who can help solve all his difficulties. A simple explanation that the new word is a fooli>ih slang, or a useless ex- pression, and that people who really know good words would uot think of using It, will be much more effective than the sharp reprimand to "never let nie hear you say that again." By sensible luauapemnt a cliild can be made ashamed to use certain words, or can be made to see that It | is ridiculous for him to use them. When this treatment is used, the child Hkes to use correct words; and will never get the idea that although he must use certain expressions at home away from It he can talk as he pleases. Tiie home standard is the natural one for him to follow, and father and mother are his supreme examples. SPICES AS p'rESJSRVATIVES. Researches Ma^e in France Show Crood Effect. Som^ of the srices thai are often employed in flavoring preserves, both of fruits and meats, have a value that Is more important than the mere tick- ling of the palate. .An investigation recently made in France show.5 that vinegar is not only an txcellcnt pre- servative, bat a powerful means of 'killing bacteria. tSiuger. b;ack. white and red pepper have little bacterial effect, but the ! action of mustard is most marked. However, the best of all are oiivts and cinnamon, which act through their essential oils (called eugenol and Cinnamon adelhydct. La .Nature remarks that these re- searches are highly important, for they show -ihat even in the «n:all tiuantitie.i in which they are used these spices may be employed in pre- serving far better than chemical anti- septics such as boric and salic.v'ic ac- ids, which are often added, though the Krench law prohibits their use. RICH, RED BLOOD NECESSARY TO HEALTH When the Blood Becomes Weak and WatTy a Tonic is Needed to Build It Anew. Why are we being continually told that food, health-giving blood must be bright red'.' What iias color lo do with the quality? Just this â€" tin; oxygen in the air is the great support- er of all organic life. One function of the blood is to take the oxygen from the airâ€" -which it meets in the lungs and deliver it to the tissues of the body. When the blood, filled with life-sustaining oxygen, is sent out by the heart, it is bright red. When it returns, impure and deprived of oxy- gen it is dark. Vou will see, therefore, that there are two prime requisites cf health, pure air and bright red bloodâ€" the pure air to furnish the oxygen, tlio rich red blood to carry it where it is needed. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make your blood rich an;', red because tht^y liicreaso its power to carry oxy- gen. ac;i:a!!y r.iuld'ig it so much mora able to carry Increased life and strength to every orgim in tha body.
