Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound carries women safeiy through the various natural crises and is tLe safe-guard of woman’s health. The truth about this great medicine is toid in the letters from women being published in this paper constantly. i come every year, as does the 'eason, yet ! they never grow stale, for while it seem. 3 I nothing new, yet each year it is tho ; sincere outpouring of the heart in good . i will and good wishes. j Christinas stands for so many things: I First and best, It celebrates a new joy i that came Into tile world 1904 years ago, : the best part of the Christian faith. It stands for Love! To show that love to I others, and be cheered by thoughts of the people who love and think of us. If every one would share their horn* with some homeless gin or boy or those who are far from home, working in ■ city, how much happiness »i:<l sunshine would be .dispensed. 'T.lfo Is not living Just for today. Life Is not dreaming All Iha short way. 'Tls helping your brothers As onward they plod; Tls living for others And trusting In God." It Is the sacrifices we make that bring joy to others. it touches one’s heart . more to receive a simple tribute from a child, or one who gives or the I principle of th'n widows mite, than all , the costly gi?ts by the rich: ft Is the 'thought of tho love that prompts th? gift. Whi n the Christmas season cnm.'». 1 our hearts seem naturally to expand, nn l I even those who are Inclined tr ?•* close I show a generosity (hat amaze even them ; selves: there Is a feeling of giving and | good will In the very air we breath". ; The only shadow comes to us In tl- ■ I thought that we cannot give to all w ■ I wish If our purses were ns large a onr 1 hearts and would expand In proportion , there would not be m.-iny ’. ft withot.'. 1 some remembrance. Some ma" sa.v we 1 have nothing so give, but that Is a mistake. Were you to a I; me what to I give, I would say: "Give to your enemy forgiveness Give to your opponent tolerance. Give to your friends your heart 't've to your child a good example ! v" to yo::r parents deference. Give to everybody sunshine." Ts that not a good rule to follow? if i we do. the CTiristmas of 1903 would i bring to ninny hearts happiness.
