TERRIFIC STORM RAGING.
The Virginia and North Carolina Coasts
Swept by a Slxty-Mile Gale-Several
Casualties Reported.

NORFOLK, Va, April 2s-A terrific
storm is raging on the Virginia and
North Carolina coasts. The wind is
blowing 60 miles an hour from the
northeast, and many vessels are
in danger of being wrecked
Capt. Ferry of the British steam
ship Castledale, from Tampa, reports
passing derelict bark named Cadic,
completely stripped and her long boat
lying on the deck. The fate of the
crew is unknosn. A big three-masted
schooner, with part of her masts gone
and rails smashed in, is signalling for
help at Chickamicomico life-saving
station, and she will surely be driven
ashore. The cruiser Montgomery and
transport Panther, which left here
Tuesday for Key West, were also in
danger, but it is known that they
rounded Cape Hatteras before they en-
countered the storm. Nothing has
been heard of them, but it is believed
they are safe.
The storm did considerable damage
in Norfolk and vicinity.

years, and had taken as she had Informed
me, more than one hundred dollars worth

neighbor OF hers similarly afflicted was
also entirely relieved of his complaint bv

when DR.. Aver announced his ssrsapa-
rilla to the world, he ut once found the
physicians his friends. Such a remedy
was what they had looked for. and they

Women are Urged to Prepare Revolution IN The
Economy Of Their Life Blood-Nrs Watson
Tells How Helped

At no time is woman more liable to
physical and mental dangers with hours
OF suffering than at the "Turn of Life. y
The great want in woman's system is
ability to properly adjustitse to the new
conditions. The outlet, monthly, of blood
is now being diminished and carried into
the body for the supply food of its later
years.
Daughters, you can now to some extent
repay your mothers earlycare. She must
be spared every possible exertion. You
must help her bear her burdens and anxie-
ties. This critical time safely over, she will
return to renewed health and happiness.
That SO many women fail to anticipate
- this change thus happily, is owing not
IS merely to lack of care, but to igno.
~ rance. There is, however, no excuse
Z for ignorance when experienced adj
q vice can be yours free of all cost.

OF women successfully through the
Change of Life, and she will help you.
