The cares of a family and household are
infinitely more exhaugting than the duties
OF bread winners, hence women are more
frequently afflicted with nervous weakness,
sleeplessness aud diminished energy than
men. A quick remedy for the weakness
produced by domestic worry and over
work will be found in MACDoNALD's BAR
LEY ELIXIR. This remedy Is especially
recommended to women because of its
agreeable flavor. 1t Is stimulating, re-
freshing and strengthening, promotes
sleep, good digestion and cheerful spirits.

A CENTENARIAN.
Death of Mrs. Maria Cardoza, Whose
Age Exceeded 100 Years.

There passed away in this city yester-
day one of the Oldest human beings in
the State Maria CardoZa. Her exact
age is not known-indeed, she had lived
SO long that she herself had forgotten
the date of her birth, but her friends
say she was probably upward Of 100
years old. She was native of Lower
California.
The old woman often said that she
was quite a girl at the time of the Mex
ican war of independence. in 1910. and
we'll remembered many of the stirring
scenes of that eventful struggle.
Mrs. Cardoza was the mother Of Joe,
Amado, Loretto and John Cardoza, and
had been resident of this city for many
years. She was greatly respected by all
who knew her, and especially among
