Hospitals are great and necessary institutions, but they should be the last resort for women who suffer with ills peculiar to their sex. Many letters on file in the Pirikham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., prove that a great number of women after they have been recommended to submit to an operation have been made well by Lydià E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Here are three such letters. All sick women should read them. Marinette, Wis.--"I went to the doctor and he told me I must have an operation Tor a female trouble, and I hated to have it done as I had been married only a short time. I would have terrible pains and my hands and feet were cold all the time. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Compound and was cured, and I feel better in every way. I give you permission to publish my name because I am so thankful that I feel well again." I--Mrs. Feed Behnke, Marinette, Wis. DetroitMich.--"When I first took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was so run down with female troubles that I could not do anything, and our doctor said I would have to, undergo an operation. I could hardly walk without help so when I read about the Vegetable Compound ami what it had done fpr others I thought I wopld try it. I got a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a package of Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash and used them according to directions. They helped me and today I am able to do all my work and I am well." --Mrs. Trios. Dwyer, 989 Milwaukee Ave., East, Detroit, Mich. Bellevue, Pa.--" I suffered more than tongue can tell with terrible bearing down pains and inflammation. I tried several doctors and they aU told me the same story, that I never could get well without an operation and I just dreaded the thought of that. I also tried a good many other medicines that were recommended to me and nçiie of them helped me until a friend advised me to give Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound a trial. The first bottle helped, I kept taking it and now I don't know what it is to be sick any more and I am picking up in weight. I am 20 years old and weigh 145 pounds.

We mean in [ doing work in the home and for children that if she were to-take trouble to show them how to do have them do, her duties would soon bé materially lightened and her cares reduced to a minimum. Different methods may advantageously be pursued pursued in allotting the tasks or duties for each member of the family to assume assume regularly. One way is for the mother to find out what her girls instinctively instinctively like to do and give them the opportunity to do that thing. By them to do yourself; The great secret secret is to interest them in some helpful helpful duty and then offer encouragement to them in its regular performance. Parents, like teachers, require great 4he j tact and common sense in the success- the \ ful direction and development of chil- and dren. If a love for or personal interest interest in the work can be kindled, success is sure Two points must ever be remembered remembered in the teaching of children in home or school : (1) that they learn by doing, and (2) that every human does better work when there is a joy or satisfaction in the doing of it. It is regrettable, for instance, when con tins means she may unlock for them j ditions become such that children fee the great storehouse of their possi- that school is a place of bondage anc biljties. The true teacher with sue- j that home is one where they have lit cessful experience will tell you that | tie or no chance to fee their real selves. They are not doing their work from a genuine love but they constantly constantly feel the pressure of authority and of dictation goading them into tasks or activities which are uncongenial uncongenial or at least unattractive. So the successful parent or teacher will find as many ways as possible to create a liking for their tasks and to encourage them in the doing of them. By these means they create an atmosphere atmosphere around them of charm and inspiration inspiration and often emulation which will encourage them and lead them on to become proficient and skilled in a way that they may never have dreamed dreamed they could be. All children require require more or less encouragement and stimulation in the performance of their tasks. in children growth must be from within if advancement is to be the result result of teaching. A child is not a tree or a plant to be trimmed and shaped according to an instructor's notions, but must be encouraged to follow and work out in doing its own will and desire and to meet and evade responsibilities on its own initiative and skill. * * * * Too much bossism or forcing children children to do certain work at home" is ill- advised. It is far better always to develop develop a sense of duty and, when possible, possible, a liking for the performance of that duty so that the doing of it becomes becomes a pleasure.

One man to a farm is about the average. No problem is of much greater moment just now than the farm help question and how to supply the demand for workers. Dr. Geo. C. Creelman, Commissioner of Agriculture, Agriculture, has appealed to the press to help solve the difficulty. Ontario is to be the supply depot for food. Ten nations nations are short of rations and six others are on the verge of starvation. Great Britain needs food for her civil- - ian population and it is ouï* patriotic duty to see that the soldiers are well fed, especially our Canadian men. Prices were never so high for farm produce and they will be high for some years at least. Canadians never before had such a chance to do the patriotic act and to make money in the doing of it. Greater land production production is to be the slogan. The call is for every person who can work on farms--retired farmers and dwellers in cities and towns who can work on the land, to turn out and do their bit to help increased production. Now everybody should become enthusiastic over greater food production. * * * * This will afford a grand opportunity of spending vacation this year in a practical, helpful way and the farmer will have assurance of help for gathering gathering in his crops. Dr. Creelman says that if the men from the cities and towns are really serious, and I think they are; if boys who cannot go to the front want to do their bit; if governments governments and municipalities and employers employers of labor realize the actual situation, and I think they do, then if it is necessary to closer the schools and the shops and factories in order to harvest the crops this will be done rather rather than any soldier of the Empire at this crisis should go without food. Surely it is our great patriotic duty to see that our boys in the trenches are properly fed. What a shame, and what a farce it would be, if these splendid Canadian young men who are offering their lives for the freedom of the world should be rendered powerless powerless for the want of sufficient food. Canada can, and should be, the granary granary of the world in this crisis. Great Britain lacks'food; for her people at home. The wheat of Russia is inaccessible. inaccessible. The Argentine has a short crop. India is 7,000 miles away and Australians 13,000 miles from Great Britain. A ship can make four round trips from Canada; to England while it is making one trip from Australia.
