Every day engagements are entered into,
and marriages are made between people
who have no business to be married. Wo-
men enter into the most serious obligation
of life without the proper physical equip
ment for it. When woman marries, she
tacitly makes the declaration that she means
to become the mother of children. This
declaration ought also to mean that she is
physically able to perform what she under
takes. The bearing of child is all too fire.
quently an injustice to both mother and
child. The woman who expects to bear in
tellectual and physically healthy children
should be herself in strong and vigorous
health. The organs that make her woman
should be free from any faint of disease or
weakness If they are not, the child will
have a bare chance for health, and the
mother may easily make herself a weak,
nervous, semi-invalid for the rest of her life.
Female weakness of any kind-whether he
reditary or acquired-may be cured by the
right sort of treatment DR.. Pierce's Favor

Events are shaping for tempestuous
time in the interstate meeting of coal
operators and miners representing
Pennsylvania and Ohio at Columbus,
January 16. Tn determination of the
Pittsburg district operators, sustained
by the Hooking Valley operators, to
abolish the differential of nine cents
ton for the thin-vein districts Of Ohio
has aroused the operators interested,
and they are making a fight against the
movement and claim they will win.
Several of the Cleveland operators, who
have mines in the two States, came to
Pittsburg yesterday to look around.
J. II. Somers was one of them and he
is firmly convinced that the differential
will be maintained, and that the Hook
ing and Pttsburg producers will not
succeed in their movement. He says
the differential has always previously
been recognized, and If it was not
righteous there would have been OPP
position before.
Col. w. p. Rend, also interested in
the two States, but whose mines are in
the Hooking Valley, was also in town,
and he is as firmly convinced that the
Jackson and Massillon operators will
have TO pay the Pittsburg rate and he
thinks they ought TO. He maintains
they sell in the same markets, that
their coal is obtained from the same
vein, get the same prices for it, and
should pay the same rate for mining as
an act of justice to the miners who dig
it. He is equally firm that the differ
entail will be abolished. He stated
that the Hooking Valley producers
have agreed that they will not hereaf-
ter take any part in the Ohio conven-
lions of operators, but will arrange
their affairs for the Hooking Valley
only.
A call for the annual convention Of
district No 3. United Mine Workers of
America has been issued, appointing
the time for holding the convention
January Sth. at Pittsburg. The work
outlined for the convention is TO elect
officers, take action on the working
regulations at mines. Interstate diff
ferentials and matters allied thereto.
All the old officers are candidates for
reelection, besides several others. The
reelection Of Patrick Dolau is con-
coded, hut a lively scrimmage is prom
ised over the choice of secretary-treas-
Urer. The reason for this is that the
district officers have opposed the can
didaey Of Patrick McBryde for national
president, and the friends of McBryde
are antagoniZing what they call the
machine" with all the ardOr they pos
sess. The candidate of the McBryde
following for the Office is Thomas Kir-
sop.
Operators in the Pittsburg district,
whose mines are situated on the Wheel
ing division of the Baltimore e Ohio
railroad. charge that an effort is be-
ing made to stir up strife throughout
the district by some of the miners.
They claim there has been no question
about paying the 60-cent rate, and the
mines are idle because they have no
contracts for coal.
