WOMEN WHO SUFFER
With Any Form Of Female Complaint
Should Read What DIR. IIartf
man Says.

1t would be impossible to present an
exhaustive array of the symptoms
caused by these troubles, for their
name ia legion but prominent among
them are To be mentioned smsrting,
throbbing, scalding, beating, burning,
quivering, aching, trembling, ,bloating,
flashes Of heat, tremors.of cold, priokly
sensations, sinking feelings, faintness,
numbneas. indeseribable puncturing,
piercing pains flying from part to part
with provoking uncertainty, mecking
the victim with momentary relief, to
begin its tortures elsewhere. No two
cases are exactly alike in number or
severity of symptoms, some being only
slightly annoyed, Others being actually
confined to the bed.
In AL OF these perverted functions Of
the female organs take tablespoonful
of Peru ma before each meal and be.

SUMNER VEGETABLE SALADS.

Vegetable salads are delicious when
one reeds something piquant to prick
the appetite, writes Elizabeth Robinson
Scovil in the July Ladies' Home
Journal. They can be made OF tomato,
celery, green string beans, dandelion ,
potato, cucumber, asparagus and cab
bage, besides the ever popular lettuce.
Cold potatoes cut in dice and laid on
bed OF lettuce can be covered with
cream dressing.
Dandelion salad is made of the
young leaves of the plant, thoroughly
washed, soaked in cold water for an
hour, shaken dry and saturated with
French dressing.
Lettuce should be put in cold water
to make it crisp, and shaken dry in
napkin before being dressed.
Green beens are cooked, cut in two
inch pieces, laid on bed of lettuce
and covered with French dressing.
Asparagus is boiled, the tough part
OF the stalks removed, the remainder
cut in short lengths and covered with
mayonnaise.
Caulihower is separated into sprige,
the tender part OF the stalk cut fine,
and covered with mayonnaise. It
must not be boiled too long or it be-
comes dark.
Cabbage is eaten raw, shredded fine,
soaked in French dressing and covered
with boiled dressing.
Cucumbers are thinly sliced, soaked
in ice water and then in Frer ch dress-
ing.
Tom ltoes are scalded to remove the
skin, cut in slices when cold, and
serve with spoonful OF mayonnaise
or boiled dressing on each side.

power aud paid to exercise it, and
that he has no right to hide out, and
put people off and act the high muck
a-muck as if the thing belonged to
him that he is asked to dispense. The
fact is, these criticisms are mostly
well taken, and there are several ap-
pointments that ought to have been
made some time ago.
The comptroller thinks the revenue
bill will bring in about as much money
as usual, although the privilege list is
badly cut down. There is a reduction
of FIVE cents in the tax rate and how
the yield is to hold up l do not know.
A privilege tax is in the nature of
legal ROBBERY and we will get nearer to
placing the tax burden equally on all
when the system is entirely wiped out,
but until that is done there ought to
be some uniformity aboutit. There is
no rhyme, reason, rule nor policy in
the list as it stands, the idea seeming
to be that the State must gouge most
where it finds no man who can not
help himself.
Heiskell is the latest "mentioned"
for governor. Ledgerwood's friends
resent all mention OF any other East

NEW REGISTRATION LAW.

for Office.

1t is now certainty that there will
be no more purchasing of registration
certificates. The passage o! the regis
tration bill has brought sorrow to the
hearts OF the boodlers and the bossee.
For the past several years certificates
have been openly purchased by both
political parties. As the new law
etfeclually puts stop to this practice,
The candidates in the future will not
have to txpend small fortune in their
race for ffice.
The new bill calls for a registration
of voters every two years in counties
subject to the present registration law.
In cities and districts Of less than 5000
inhabitants, in counties not wholly
subject to the present law, registration
is required every four years. The
registration books are to be opened on
August l5, 1895, and remain open 90
days After that they shall be opened
every two and four years according tu
the above provisions. They shall aleo

1t is good plan when possible, to set
a saucer in all china or brass ornamental
pots for the plants to stand on 1t Is
easier to lift them out and empty the su-
perduous water-unless the pots are al
ways removed for the process of watering
and prevents the roots getting saturat-
ed. Even tiny pots can be treated in the
same way, using small plates or dishes
from old toy sets, etc
Sweet oil and putty powder followed
by soap and water are good for brighten
ing brass or copper,
Washing soda, with half its volume Of
pumice powder and ditto Of powdered
chalk, made into paste with water, is an
excellent means of cleansing, though the
pumice is apt, with friction, to deaden or
remove the polish of the marble.
If varnish is defaced and shows white
marks, take linseed oil and turpentine in
equal parts. Shake them well in vial
and apply a small quantity on a soft piece
Of cotton until the color is restored. Then
wipe the mixture entirely off
A tablespoonful of powdered borax in
pail of water will keep fine white fannels
from turning yellow in the washing.
