; -Persons who are not subscribers, receiving
a copy of “Woman’s Work,” are requested
to give it a careful examination and favor
me with their patronage.
We are surprised that our subscribers do
a.»t more liberally patronize the one cent a
word column. The expense is trifling, and
the opportunity to dispose of various bits
of handiwork, second-hand articles, books,
etc., either by sale or exchange, is unsur
passed. Do not overlook its advantages.
Wonder is frequently expressed that
Woman’s Work can be furnished at only
50 cents a year. It could not be were its
circulation not continually widening.
Friends of the paper will you help to ex
tend its usefulness, and enable the addition
of other desirable features by inducing
your acquaintances to “ come with us ?”
Remember only one name from each will
double our list.
PLEASE RENEW. If the time for
which you have subscribed to “Woman’s
Work,” expires with this number, please
remit for renewal at once. Unlike many
publishers we do not send the paper until or
dered to stop it, but discontinue at expiration
of subscription. This is the only business
method which is just to both publisher
and subscriber. I am sure “Woman’s
Work” will be a blessing in your home.
Don't let it stop. Be careful to give name
as we have it on our list. For instance, if
we have mailed the paper to Mrs. Jno.
Smith, it will cause confusion for her to
renew as Mrs. Julia Smith.
MISSING PAPERS.
The mails are very uncertain, and many
■'■.orpers which are started to subscribers
them. If you miss a number
I)'"- the publisher, and don’t
out report the loss to him and
infill be mai’ed. Persons who do
1 Lout the papers they have paid for, and
complain of the publisher, do injustice to
all concerned.
TO ADVERTISERS.
We Neither Beg- nor Lie for Advertise
ments.
Woman's Work asks your patronage
on business principles. Its character you
can judge by looking over this issue. Is
there a cleaner paper published? It is
read by all members oi the family arid its
influence is great. Its matter is original
and not purchased by the column from
some stereotyping company. It is taken
for its worth and not to secure premiums
or prizes. We do not seek to evade the
circulation qm-51i0... but tell the truth and
substantiate it Our present r?iV- o! 70
cents per inch is certainly as iow as any
one cun ask; it is only 50 per cent, oi the
usual cost in high class periodicals; <■> m
pare for yoursell. We have one price for
•all; one advertiser does not pay double the
rate another gets l here are many other
advantages that could be mentioned. One
is, y<>u will be in good company when you i
enter our columns; our paper is for home
reading and we are careful to reject ques
tionable advertisements. Please consider
our claims anu if they are found worthy,
favor us with your patronage.
A<l vei'tiniiig rsitew.— Seventy cents periuch each

HERBS—LEAVES ETC.
Many persons arc not aware of the me
dicinal properties of the herbs, shrubs and
trees which are so commonly grown in our
gardens.
The leaves of the orange and peach trees,
and blades of lemon grass, make a splendid
tea incases of fevers of any kind. The pa
tient must be well covered, and the tea
taken as warm as possible. It will soon
bring on a strong perspiration and then,
’tis said, “half the battle isover.”
A tea of yarrow, (the little herb grown
as a border plant) is very’ efficacious in
kidney complaints.
The leaves of the grape vine make
! splendid yeast; the bay is useful for flavor
ing sauces, wild game, etc, and the
i leaves of the peach tree, placed in a little
; hot water, make as good an almond flavor
ing as that we buy.
