Nicctown, Pa, gives the reason for this
sad condition of many working girls.
Sometimes their back and sides will
ache terribly. They are faint and dizzy
with pain and weight in the lower part of
their stomach. They watch the clock,
and wish that the day would end, as they
feel so i'll and tired.
Standing all day, week in and week out,
they have slowly drifted into woman's
great enemy, displacement of the womb.
That, or some other arrangement of the
organ, causes irregularity or suspension
of the monthly periods bloating, flood
ing, or nervous prostration.

UNITED STATES AND SPAIN
At Swords Points on Tariff Matters
Uncle Sam Getting Red Hot.

Spain has for years been a source of
diplomatic trouble to the United
States. she has at times placed the
most outrageous tariffs and exec 5sive
fines upon American exporters and
steamers, and although in most case
spain has been forced to acknowledge
herself in the wrong restitution could
not be secured. tully 5000, 900 in
claims are now standing against Spain
and she will not even submit to arbl-
tration.
The passage OF the Wilson tariff bill
carried with it the repeal of all reclp-
rocity treaties, and spain, TO retail
late, has placed in force in her West
Indies possessions tariff againS I
United States products which is utterly
prohibitivc. President Cleveland has
tried in almost every diplomatic way
20 have it removed but without avail,
and now, becoming tired of such stub
bornness, he has decided To place a pro-
hibitive duty on Cuban sugar. Jur
principal product exported TO Cuba is
Hour and in the year 1893 our exp Jrts
of this staple to Cuba alone were
valued at nearly S3,25O,O0O. On the
other hand, during the same year, we
bought about $4,000, 900 worth of
sugar of thatsisland.
This action by the President is equiv
alent to formal notice to the nations
of the earth that if trade discrimina-
tions against the United states 60 not
cease measures will be adopted by the
President for the protection of Amer
lean commerce. As has been said, one
of the chief offenders is Spain. and for
that reason Madrid is selected as a
point of attack. though the action
will be rightfully construed as
indicating a policy applicable to Ger
many, Denmark. France and many
other natl ms that have put an embargo
on certain American products.

which affected the whole nation, and
that the United States had right TO
stop unlawful interference with the
passage of United States mails and
interstate commerce. When the Judge
was ready to pronounce sentence none
of the defendants had anything to say.
Judge Woods then sentenced Nice-Pres-
ident Howard, Secretary Keliher,
Treasurer Rogers and Directors Burns,
Elliott, Hogan, Goodwin and Macvean
each to three months imprisonment
in jail, but suspended sentence on the
last named director. President Debs
was given six months. 1t was evident
that all had expected much more
severe sentences, and they seemed
well pleased. stay of sentence for
10 days was granted to permit of an
appeal. There were two cases before
the court, one for contempt and the
other for violation of the federal
statutes. The sentences were the same
in both cases but they run together
