When they read about the Peas- ant- women of Europe wio la- bor in the fields, PyAmericans are re prone to con- demn the politi- cal conditions that cause this «state of affairs, and to lavish a great deal of pity on these peer

abueei women. , ¢ some Suropean institutions is doubtless all right, *ut we had better save a little of our

pity end lavish it right here at home. The American wife and mother who labers morning, noon and night, in the close con- Grement of the home is in some respects worse «eff than the abused Peasant-woman. The latter enjoys fresh air, sun-iight and out-doer exercise and retains that most preciozs.endowment, her health.

Amernan women, ever busy in the close econ fines :of the home, get delicate and seen suffer dom weakness and derangement of the delete feminine organs. Confinement to the bouse runs down their health amd they suffer from internal ulceration and inflammesion, giving rise to debilitating drains on the system. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription makes the important feminine organs, that are the cradle of the race, strong, healthy and vigorous. It is invalu- able to weaysing mothers and overworked aousewives. All medicine dealers sell it.

How to Take Moonlight Photographs.

Moonlight effects in photographs have long been admired by the uninitiated and fully appreciated by both amateur and professional photographers for their beauty, and many plates, too, have been spoiled by snap shotters who have accept- ed moonlight as the real illuminator of these views and accordingly focused di- gxectly on this beautiful orb of nicht. Mocnlights with the moon herself in evidence are really sun photographs— that is, pictures taken with a rapid ex- posure, the camera pointed toward the sun generally in the late afternoon or eatly morning and with clcuds Letwecn the lems and the direct rays.
