NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
"A TALK WITH MRS. p1NKaAM.l


A woman with the blues is a very un.
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
"the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs OF
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol
lowing letter:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
81 am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have. better health than !
have had for the past ten years. I
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, dc. not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you."
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound is a woman's remedy for wot
mans ills. More than million wo-
men have been benefited by it.

Action Demanded.

F'rom the Stockton independently
The conference of the supporters of
lesser Republican candidates at Sacra-
mento does not seem to thrive with
that vigor that self sacrificing patriot
ism demands. The detection of Simp-
son and the Indifference of some of the
candidates have rather negatived the
efforts of the legislators. But the slow
ness of the movement only emphasizes
the prime necessity and duty for the
Republicans to get together. The peo-
pie who do the voting have string
on this Legislature that is stronger
and more enduring than any obligation
to any candidate. The people of the
State demand a Senator. The Republi-
cans of the State demand a Republi-
can Senator. The members who will
stand in the way of this will be re-
membered by the party and by the
citizens who do the voting for the party.

of the, proposition content themselves
with denouncfng it, but they offer moth
ing feasible as a substitute. 1t appears
that they would be pleased to see the
deadlock continue, rather than that
some man whom they do not like shall
be elected. This is all child's play and
nonsense. Nothing can be done unless
the members get together and decide
upon some plan which shall be accept
able to all. Having SO decided, it re-
mains only to carry it out. The confer
ence proposition appears to have the
support of the great body of the press
and the leading members of the party.
No really good reasons can be advanced
against it.

The Members Have an Enjoyable
Evening Near Perkins.

The members of the Women's Christ

their meeting with Mrs. S. H. Jackman

day. All had very sociable time. The
parlor was very prettily decorated with
green, violets, daphnes. acacia, geran-
iums and oranges, with lemons on the
brarches on which they grew. The
dining-room was trimmed in olive
branches, acacia and potted plants.

Hence These Tears.

(From the Santa Rosa Republican,
Democratic politicians are greatly op
posed to the Republicans reaching an
agreement in regard to the Senatorship
Their legislators have met and eau
cused on the Senatorial question a
number of times without objection be-
ing offered, but agreement among the
Republicans is a bad thing for Demo-
cratic politicians Hence the tears.

Have No Right.

(From the Stockton independently
The Republicans of the Legislature
owe it to the men who elected them
to get together and select Republican
Senator to represent California. They
have no right to stand in the way with
obstinate individual preference and al
legged loyalty to promises which they
had no right to make. The State is
waiting for a Senator, and Republicans
demand that their representatives act.

of progress and the other arid
states will not be slow to follow.
The high cost of good irrigation
renders it imperative that the areas
under culture be devoted to crop
which is capable of producing a
more valuable yield than is afford
ed by cereal culture. OF all the
home markets for our domestic ag-
ricultural products, there is none
so insistent nor so expansive as
that for sugar. With an annual
consumption of 1000 0J0 tons, and
with n certainty of rapid increase,
the demand for sugar promises to
be the salvation of American agri-
culture.
CAN COMPETE WITH THE WORLD.
The northern parts of our East
ern and Middle States and the
States of Oregon and Washington
have at least an even chance for
the successful production of beet
sugar with fields of France and
Germany. The irrigable parts of
the great Southwest, it is believed.
have advantages of soil and climate
which will enable them to enter
into competition even with the
Hawaiian Islands and Cuba. To be
able to control the moisture of the
soil is a matter of prime import
ance to the beet grower. In the
arid region the beet can be left to
mature at the proper time by with
holding the water, Subsequently
there is no danger of loss due to
second growth, so easily induced
by late warm autumnal rains. In
a dry soil the beet can endure with
Gus damage low temperature,
whlch would prove quite disastrous
in a wet climate. More complete
maturity may thus be obtained and
a more leisurely harvest In fact
it is stated there is no staple crop
which can complete with the sugar
beet in demanding the favorable
attention of those interested in ir-
rigation. 1t is estimated that near
ly l00,000,000 acres of land in the
arid regions of the United States
may eventually be irrigated, being
nearly one-hfth of the total area
of the country. OF this area per-
haps 10 per cent is capable of
easy and speedy irrigation.

Continued irom sniurday's issuc.

now To DETERMINE THE ALKALI
To find out whether the sugar
beet can be prof ably grown on
alkali lands, it is recommended to
those interested in such lands to
ascertain the total amount of salts
in the upper 3 or 4 feet of soil
This may be accomplished by TAX
ing an average sample OF the soil
to that depth by means of II post
hole auger and having the amount
of soluble suits contained in it de-
termined. A considerable portion
of the salts present in the first , or
4 feet of the soil may come TO the
surface under cultivation and irri-
CATION and may give the soil the
appearance of being too heavily
impregnated with alkili to grow
beeis; but, as these experiments
indicate the feasibility of success
fully growing sugar beets depends
ON the total amount of alkali salts
present in this upper stratum aud
soil with marked alkali differences
at the surface may be perfectly
capable of profitable sugar beet
culture.
PERFECT CONDITIONS WITH IRRIGA-
TION.
While the arid area in which beeis
can be grown without irrigation is
probably confined almost exclusive
ly to the coast valleys of California
which the soil is of that texture
which allows the subterranean
moisture to reach the rootlets, the
successful commercial production
of sugar beets in Utah and New
New Mexico has opened up a new
and extensive field for the extern
sion of the sugar industries best
suited to irrigation in the western
and southwestern regions of the
United States. 1t is certain that
Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Ida
ho and Arizona may become great
sugar producing states, not exclud-
ing other areas in the arid region.

land and open it to settlement, to
supply the entire hundred million
dollars worth of sugar for which
the United States now sends an
nually to Germany and France,
thus enriching the farmers of those
countries Mt the expense of our own.
A MILLION ACRES WOULD DO 1T.
One million acres planted to
beets would yield under intensive
culture, a quantity of sugar suthci-
emf, with the Louisiana products,
for domestic consumption. With
this great sugar production and
the possibilities for stimulus to
dairying and feeding opened p
through the use of by-products of
the beet after the sugar has been
extracted, there is nowhere in sight
a more promising prospect for
agricultural development than ia
the production of sugar beets on
irrigated lands.
