It is that of “director of weddings.” This woman. realizing how much of. an undertaking a? wedding is. and how much care and trouble it is for the bride-elect, also into what sort of de- moralized state it throws the whole household has taken upon herself the burden of the responsibility of it all. She helps in the selection of the trousseau. after ”buying the material for the gowns, and superintonding the making. She advises as to the gowns of the mother and sisters, and dictates as to how the bridesmaids shall dress. She installs herself in the home of the bride, sometimes before the wedding, and makes all arrangements for the decorations, and even arranges with the caterer. Of course she has many original ideas, and is constantly. in search of new ones. so that there may be, per- haps, some special novel feature to each wedding. She also is exceeding- ly clever in carrying out ideas suggest- ed by the givers of the wedding, and tries in all ways to make herself pop- ulnr.—New . York Tribune.

'——‘—-——<O..>—————-— Women Need Not be Discouraged. The nervous tension under which most of our women constantly live af- fects the female organism seriously. Heavy household burdens, social gaye- ties, work, in some commercial estab- lishment, any of the duties seem im- possible to women who are ill and yet they keep up for a time under pressure of the demands upon them. When they do break down, the advice and treatment they receive from their fam- ily physician don’t go to the root of the trouble and they get no better. They are discouraged, worn out, tired of life. The great specialist in women’s diseases Dr. Greene,._of Nervura fame, 35 West 14th St., New York City, has shown thousands of women who thought them- selves hopeless invalids the way to health. His office is open to all women for free consulation and advice, or if you will write him about your case, he will advise you by mail absolutely free of all cost and , confidentially. The glorious remedies discovered by this profound physician are an invaluable boon to women. It costs nothing to be put on the road to health, and all ailing women should write Dr. Greene at once. PHILIP ARMOUR’S FORESIGHT. .33 ilrilliant Scheme By Which He Was liuziblcd to Tide Over aFinancial Crisis. it was keen foresight that brought i’fnilip Armour back from Europe in l:.t:-::, months before an impending writ: was dreamed of by other mer- chants. It is told of him that he called all his head men to New York and announced to them?- "Gontlemen. there’s going to be financial trouble soon.” "Why, Mr. Armour,” they said, “you must be mistaken. Things Were nev- er better. You are too apprehensive.” "Oh. no,” he said, “I’m not. There is going to be troublef’ and he gave as his reasons certain conditions which existed in nearly all countries, which none of those present had thought of. "Now,” said he to the first of his “how much will you need to run your department until next year?” The head man named his need. The others were asked, each in turn, the same question, and, when all llore through, he counted up, and. tu ., ing to the company, said:— “Gentlcmen, go back and borrow all you need in Chicago, on my credit. Use my name for all it will bring in the way of loans.” The lieutenants returned, and the name of Armour was strained to its utmost limit. When all had been her rowed, the financial flurry suddenly loomed up, but it did not worry the great packer. In his vaults were $8,000,000 in gold. All who had loan- ed :him at interest hurried to his doors, fearing that he also was lmperilled. They found him suppliedwith ready money, and- able to compel them to wait until the stipulated time of pay- ment, or to [force «them to abandon their claims of interest for their money, and no tide him over the un- happy period. -’It was a. master stroke, and made the name of the great pack- or a power In the world. or finance-v, Success. - n Which is Due lo a Deprived condition of the Iliad, as Well as lnnum— : eiableilliher Forms of Blood Disorders,'are Likewisl \ GURED 3v .. SMITH’S Rheumatism is strictly a blood disease. _ Rheumatism is caused by a superabundance of uric acid existing in the great vital fluid. Rheumatism causes those who are afflicted with it untold misery and suffering, besides being a. continual menace to their life. Sufferers from rheumatism are never sure at what moment it may reach the heart. When this does happen, death is instantaneous. Rheumatism can be cured entirely and the poisonous secretions to which it owes its origin completely driven from the system. The way to do this is to take a blood purifier that will act promptly and in a. scientific way. There is no blood purifier for this purpose that can compare with ' Smith’s Green Mountain Renovator. It does cure Rheumatism in a manner that is marvelous, by renovating the blood and restoring to health each of the vital organs of the body which are enabled, when in a healthy condition, to eliminate poisonous secretions from the ' system. While Smith’s Green Mountain Renovator is performing its mis- sion of making the blood pure, it is at the same time acting as a gentle tonic whereby it creates a. healthy appetite and peaceful and restful nights. - If you are a sufferer from rheumatism, buy Smith’s Green Mountain Renovator at once. It can in no way do any harm and it will do you good, as it has done good to hundreds of others. . “ I have been troubled with rheumatism for years. Tried a. great many different remedies, from which I derived ‘only temporary relief. Was induced to try your Green Mountain Renovator: I took six bottles and was entirely cured. What is more I have never been troubled with the disease since. I regard Green Mountain Renovator as the best remedy for that painful disease that I ever heard of. CHAS. C. CAMPBELL, Cleveland, Ohio.” “I had rheumatism 'so I was unable to walk, even around the house. I had tried many remedies. At last was persuaded to try'Green ‘ Mountain Renovator. ' It cured me completely. What is more, it only took three bottles of your wonder- ful remedy to effect the cure.- Miss MARY SIDWE'LL, Elgin, Ill.” .. “I suffered with rheumatism for two long years before I heard of Smith’s Green Mountain Renovator. I thought I would try it. It took me only three weeks to effect a cure. EDWARD C. MITCHELL, 104, State St., New Haven, Conn.” ‘ ”- “My son was confined to bed with rheumatism for months, used two bottles of Smith’s Green Mountain Renovator, which cured him entirely. Language cannot express the good the Renovator has done this boy. P. VAN BUREN, Elgin, Ill.” “ I had been sick in bed a year with rheumatism. Used two bottles of Smith’s Green Mountain Renovator, and it cured me. Mrs. 'D. KELLEY, Elgin, Ill. _ “ I have been ill forthe last fifteen years with neuralgia and heart disease. I was, in fact,- a total wreck, physically, being unfit for any kind ofwork until three months ago, when I began to use your Green Mountain Renovator, which has completely cured me, and I will gladly recommend it to all persons afllicted as I was. CHRISTINE RINEHART, Cleveland, Ohio.” Rheumatic sufferers may rest assured that good will be accom- plished by the use of this greatest of all blood purifiers. Every bottle that we sell is sold under a guarantee. Your money will be refunded if all that we claim for it is not positively accomplished.
