NO WOMAN Is EXEMPT.

Regularity is matter OF Importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth 1t is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
Torrance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR Mrs PINKHAM:-I feel like a
new person since following your adj
vice, and think it Is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrhea. 1
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
1 never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. Inow wish to say that 1 never
had anything do me SO much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhna. 1 hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkhams expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia e. Pinlzham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

A French sea captain living in the
Rue d'Alesia in Paris kept savage
orang outang as pet in his rooms and
refused to chain him up. During his
absence recently burgler entered the
house, was tackled by the ape, which
bit him horribly and tried to strangle
him, but was rescued by people who
heard his cries for help. On being
taken to the hospital the burglar went
mad.

The municipal laws of Berlin provide
that no animal may be killed except at
the city slaughter house. Every ami
NAL slaughtered for food purposes is
subj cted to close scientific investiga-

its blood and tissues are afterward ex-
amined under powerful microscopes by
a corps of women microscopes, spec
ially trained to the work.

A STRONG NATION consists of strong
men and healthy women, and health
and strength depend upon pure, rich
blood which is given by Hoods Sarsa-

of bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla every
year is laying the foundation for health,
the wisdom of which will surely show
itself in years to come.

THEY FOLLOW THE CAMP,
NON COMBATANTS WHO WILL
ACCOMPANY ARMY IN CUBA.
Suffers Are Shut Away By the New
Regulations Volunteer Laun-
Establishment of Can
teens.

Correspondence of the Providence
journal: Army suffers are discounte-
nanced by the new regulations and
thus very picturesque class of camp
followers will be absent from the en-
campments of our soldiers during the
present war. The official commissary
department will try to replace those
useful adjuncts of former campaigns
by suitably equipped and authorized
shops, which, accompanying the troops
on their travels, will supply all such
things as the old-time sutler was ac-
customed to deal in. These will include
various luxuries, such as canned fruits
and vegetables, sugar-cured hams, sar-
dimes, condensed milk, butter, cheese,
ginger, candy, etc. Soldiers are mostly
very fond of candy, and complaints
have been made recently because of
the brave boys at Chickamauga and
pitai in consequence of excessive con-
sumption of sugar plums contributed
by admiring young women.
In former days half a dozen women
were regularly attached as laundresses
to each company of United States
troops. AS a rule they were the wives
of enlisted men of non-commissioned
very worthy persons. Some of them
followed the regiments for as much as
10 years, and they were officially rec
ognized as belonging to the military or
CARNATIONS. One ration-in other words
the food allowance of a soldier-was
allowed to each of them, and every en-
listed man paid a given rate for their
services as washerwoman. In war time
they did splendid work as nurses, and
the quarters occupied by them at each
army post usually went under the
name of Soapsuds Row. Eight years
ago, however, the war department
made an effort to dispense with them,
and their rations were taken away
Consequently, no laundresses will fol-
low the troops during the present cam
paign, and the soldier boys will have
to wash their own clothes.
1t is an interesting fact that in a
number of Instances the sons of these
army laundresses were educated and
sent to the military academy at West
Point. holding at this day commissions
as officers. For obvious reasons it is
not desirable to mention names IN this
connection, but Eo.aSi.. case in point
Is that of well known infantry officer.
who was coached for West Point by the
wife of General Graham. He failed to
pass because of an imperfection in
his grammar, but General Sheridan
took great interest in him, and the
upshot of the matter was that he was
appointed from civil life as a second
lieutenant> year tsfore the class he
tried to enter was graduated. His
father was a nom ommissioned officer,
and his mother was a regimental laun-
dress.
Women as naturally flock to the
peiehborhood of a military camp as
crows to a cornfieid. Wherever our |
troops settle down for even so short a !
time as a day or two, there will be |
plenty of volunteer laundresses. In /
Cuba the native women will be only too |
glad to do washing for the soldiers. for |
the sake of making a few pennies. |

CONVICT SPAULDING MARRIED.
Bank Wrecker WEEDS the Stenograph-
er Who Spent His Money.

Chicago, July 23.-Charles Warren
Spaulding, the convicted ex-president
OF the Globe Savings bank. and Sarah
Louise Erwin, his former stenographer,
We're married here today.
The ceremony was performed by a
clergyman, whose name the parties in
terested viii not divulge.
Spaulding is serving an indetermin-
ate sentence in the Joliet penitentiary
fer wrecking the Globe Savings bank
but for two weeks has been in the Cook
county JAIL where he was brought on
a writ Of habeas corpus in order to act
as a witness in a suit growing out of
the banks affairs. Miss Erwin was the
young woman on whom Spaulding Law
ished money and property before the
collapse OF the bank and they have
been anxious to marry ever since
Spauldlng's former wife secured a di-
vorce The Jail authorities refused to
permit the ceremony without the per-
mission of Warden McCaughrey of the
penitentiary. After consulting the gov
ernor, Major McCaughrey gave his con-
sent and Spaulding today procured the
license. TIE place where the marriage
occurred cannot be learned. Two young
men from the office Of Spaulding's at
torneys were the eye witnesses.
An hour after the ceremony the ex-
banker was back in his cell in Jail, and
the bride had gone away with her faith
er. In the license Spaulding' age is
given as So and that Of Miss Erwin
as 80.

RESERVE CAMPS.
VIII Be Established As a Precaution
AGAINST Epidemics.

Washington, July 2S.-It is the pur-
pose of The war department TO begin at
once the examination of the plans de-
vised by Secretary Algen for the crea-
ton Of reserve camps, and boards of
staff officers are now engaged in var
ious localities looking after suitable
camp sites and making preliminary ar
engagements for acquiring the right to
use those places and arranging Tor va
ter supplies. The intention is not to
be caught through any contingency
with large number Of troops at GER
trail points in the midst OF an epidemic
of any kind, with no place to remove
them. It was FOR this reason that Fer
nandia was selected some time ago as
one of these reserve camps and within
the last two days the value of this pol
icy has been amply justified. as other
wise there would have BEEN no suita-
bic place TO which TO remove the troops
from Tampa.
One Of the reserve camps is likely TO
he located in the valley Of the Potomac,
about a. miles above Washington, and
will be very convenient for the recep-
ton OF troops from Camp Alger. in case
IL Is deemed necessary FOR the health of
the soldiers to remove them.

SOME THINGS TO KNOW.

The Berlin sewer system transports
annually from $4,000, 0G0 to 7O,ceO, COO tons
of sewage for distribution over an
area of 10000 acres lying from Z to 10
miles beyond the limits of the city. AL
though the cost of the drama e is about
s25, 900, 900 a year, the enormous in
creased fertility of the land makes it a
paying operation.
Lionel Brough tells a story of an old
country sexton. who. in showing visi-
tors around the churchyard, used to
stop at one particular tombstone and
say: This ere is the tomb of Tum-
mas Cooper an is IL wolves" On one
occasion a lady said: Eleven? Dear
me; that's rather Tot, isn't it?" The
old man looked at her gravely and then
