“ 1 suffered terribly and araa extremely weak for 12 years. The doctors aaid my blood was all turning to water. At last I tried Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and was soon feeling all right again.” Mrs. J. W. Fialt, Hadlyme, Ct.

No matter how long you have been ill, nor bow poorly you may be today, Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best medicine you can take for purifying and enriching the blood. Don’t doubt it, put your whole trust in it, throw away everything else. n-Maksftfe. Alldnvbb.

In 1898 Spanish bonds, because ol 1 the war with the United States, sold | uals below 30. British bonds in the same year touched a maximum of 1:3 7-8 having gained on an average more than a ‘'point" a year since they were ■■con-

vene d” in 1S88.

Relieved of her expensive war in twe hemispheres, Spain soon found hei credit unexpectedly and greatly improved. Last year her .bonds rose to pi 3-4. Britain meanwhile had also entoyed a "little war." and her securities, tremendously swelled in volume by tht

year led the Span points, and have

ish 4s by only two points, and 1 lately declined below 90, well beneath

the Spanish maximum.

Who would have predicted in 189^ that Spanish bonds would in five year: "cross British consols on the chan o( prices? But some "victories" cost more than some "defeats." «

Mrs. F. Wright, of Oelwein, Iowa, is another one of the million women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. A Yoonr Xew York Lady Tells

of a Wonderful Core: —

“ My trouble tv as with the ovaries; I am tall, and the doctor said I grew too fast for my strength. 1 suffered dreadfully from inflammation and doctored continually, but got no help. I suffered from terrible dragging sensat ions with the most awful pains low down in the side and pains in the back, and the most agonizing headaches. Ko one knows what I endured. Often I was sick to the stomach, and e-ery little while I would be too sick to go to work, for tlm.e or four days; I work In a large store, and I suppose standing on toy feet all day made me worse. "At the suggestion of a friend of my mother's I began to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and it is simply wonderful. 1 felt better after the first two or three doses; it seemed as thongh a Freight was taken off my shoulders; I continued its nrc until now 1 can truthfully say I am entirely cured.

- _ from the loftier which chains us to the earth when we ought to be breathing Ihe pure sir of hesven." So it is thsft^day we are putting an undue emphasis upon the merely outward life. W* are elaborating the mere framework of the picture, ornamenting the gilded trappings, indifferent to the essentials which alone give lasting beauty to

life and character.

What are some of the causes of this over-

elaboration in the material comforts of life?

Primarily, there is the passion for luxury

itself. We are to-day esaentially a luxurious race. The pitiful thing is that we are proud of it. We boast aoout our luxury as something that lifts us above other nations. You meet people, for example, who go abrosd, and when they return what is the burden of their conversetion? Not to tell you of beautiful scenes of nature which they have visited, but to complain that, having gone abroad confessedly for change, they did not find anything exactly the same and just as comfortable us at their own fireside. They criticiae the temperature of the houses and vividly describe to you-thc horrors of shivering in a temperature a little below the fever heat in which they-live at home. They denounce the cooking and complain because at an altitude of 8000 feet in the Alps they did not find the delicacies which they were able to enjoy six months before the season in thair own New York homes. We may smile at such things, and yet it is this craving for luxury that U destructive of high thinking. It produces a mental imbecility which is unable to appreciate those truths which give dignity to

fife end add strength to character. What is luxury? It may be defined as

whatever is costly and superfluous. And it is just this craving for whet is costly and euptrfiuoue that ia making this city a hot

bad of extravagance.

Once more, one other penalty mnst be paid, and that is the heaviest of all. This node of life is absolutely at variance with the spirit of the teaching of Jesus Christ. It is paean, not Christian: it is barbaric, not civilized. No man who is honest in his effort to follow in the footatens of Jesus Christ can live a life whose only thought is to satisfy the merely sensuous detires. What ia the one dominant note in the example of Him who when He walked this earth had not where to lay His bead, but this: that we should live simply, that we should deny ourselves daily, taking no thought of what we shall cat or what we shall drink or wherewithal we shall be clothed, for our heavenly Father inoweth. The way of the cross is the way of simple life; not the tray of telf-indulgenee and vulgar extravagance, but the war which He walked with bleeding feet is the path along which we alone can find the joy of

plain living and high thinking.

For some of us this secret of the simple life cannot be learned. We have dwelt too long in the cellar of our appetites, and the reek of the kitchen ia in onr brains. We masi-die as we have lived, in the tyranny of those taste* which our surroundings have stimulated. For such of u*. plain Urine and high thinking are both alike im] sible.

Delicately formed and gently reared, women will find. In all the seasons of their lives, as maidens, wives, or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditions, when the system needs a laxative. Is—Syrup of Figs. It Is well known to be a simple combination of the laxatlve and carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when Its gentle

deansing Is desired.

Many of the Ills from which women suffer are of a transient nature and do not come from any organic trouble and It Is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative Is needed It is best to consult the family physldan and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nostrums of the present day.
