4 BOOM FOR SUFFERING WOMAN

If there are times in life that try mems
souls there are also times that try wO-
mems souls. AS woman's organization in
general is more delicate than mans, so
she has special functions of far more
delicate character, which render her
much more liable to arrangement and
disease, and which require much more
skiliful and careful treatment. No class
of diseases tests a physicians skill or
medicines efficacy more severely than
Female Diseases. No medicine has ever
proved more successful in the cure of
such diseases than Pe-ru-na. In that
most trying of periods, which every mid
dle-aged woman must pass through, Pc
ru-na has proved u true boon to the sex.

The mortgage Of the pension agents
on the republican party seems to be a
regular blanket affair. Tanner was fired
out OF the pension office for trucking to
the sharks; Raum, bis successor, has
been brought to book for "borrowinp''
money from Lemon, the pension million
aire, and last summer, when the repub-
lican campaign managers were striking
the agents for funds, the senate commit
tee on pensions increased the fee for
claim agents under the dependent pen
sion act from S. to $40. 1t appears,
however, from recent disclosures, that
the pension agents are not satisfied with
controlling the pension bureau and the
committees Of congress, but that they
also have their clutch on other depart
ments of the government. Albert Dag
gett, New York politician of unsavory
record. who has for come time held the
government contract for making postal
cards. failed the other day, and when
his bondsmen were asked what they
we're going to do about it one Of them
made answer: "Dagget's postal card
contract will not be affected in any way
by his bankruptcy, for the very good
reason that Capt. George E. Lemon, a
Washington pension agent, holds the
contract and has been operating under
it and reaping the profits since about
six months after it was awarded to Dag
gett. Since that time Daggett has sim
ply been one OF Capt. Lemons salaried
employees, and his financial difficulties
are simply the result of his extravapant
habits. He has been living at the rate
OF 100000 year." 1t would be inter
esting to know how many other branches
of the government service are being Sc
cretly operated by these same cheerful
vultures.
