women to preserve their health if they

women. Ill-health in woman is generally
the result of some weakness or disorder of
the distinctly feminine organism that is
slowly sapping her vitality. At first, a
little pain and slight indispositions which
seem to her quite uninportant. They grow
steadily worse until she suffers all the time
from burning and dragging sensations, and
occasionally has to tax. TO her bed. Fin

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Nov. 7.-At Repub-
lican headquarters tonight Chairman j. b.
Treat estimates that the Republican ticket
will win by 1900 plurality in addition to
electing at least eight out of ten congress
men and a. large majority of the legislative
candidates. The Democrats are not giving
out figures but claim that when the votes
are counted their state ticket will be shown
to have come out victorious. They concede,
however, that the Republicans will control
the next Legislature and elect a majority of
the congressman. All their ammunition has
been expended in fighting for the election of
their state ticket and they have fought an
aggressive campaign on these lines.
