NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
n TALE WITH MRS. p1NKHAM.l

IA TALK WITH MRS. pINKHAM1
A woman with the blues is 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, wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for 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.
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ing women, do 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 wo-
mans ills. More than million wo-
men have been benefited by it.

AMER1cANs RUSH TOO HARD.
Consequently They Fail to Extract

In the January Ladies' Home Jour-

the dangers arising from this condi-

into the families we know, and tell me
if / am SO far wrong when say that
what our American families need more
than anything else Isl more time with
each other; more drawing together;
more, moments of being alone with each
other; a greater extraction OF the peace
and comfort from those material sur
roundings which each so earnestly
strives for, and all are too much salts
fed to strive for simply to possess, ana
nothing more. We are all too mucn IN
a hurry in America to allow OF our

lives are too full with the things which
ought to be secondary and which we
have allowed to dominate US. We are
all too busy; men and women, girls and
boys-an of us. We are not getting rne
rich beauties out of life; the greatest
enjoyments out of living. Rush ana
haste are too much upon US. The sweet
balm of peace and quiet is an unknown
delight to thousands of our people. Ana

EDWIN BOOTH.

the lannon's Actor.

Laurence Hutton Relates Story OF
the Famous Actor.
A good many years ago, while Edwin
Booth was playing a successful en-
gagement in one of the leading thea
tiers, dropped into his dressing room
one night during the course OF the per-
formance. He CHANGED to be in par
ticularly happy frame of mind and he
was often cheerful and happy, tradition
to the contrary Notwithstanding. He
was smoking the inevitable pipe, and
was arrayed in the costume of Richie
lieu, with his feet upon the table. sub
hitting patiently to the manipulations
of his wardrobe man, or dresser"
After a few words of greeting the call
boy knocked at the door and said that
Mr.. Booth was wanted at a certain
left lower entrance" The protagonist
jumped up quickly, and asked If I
would stay where / was and keep his
pipe alight, or go along with him and
see him lunch the cuss of Rum, !"
quoting the words of George L. Fox,
who had been producing recently a lu-
dicrously clever burlesque of Booth in
the same part I followed him to the
wings, ard stood by his side while he
waited for his cue.
1t was the fourth act of the drama, I
remember and the stage was set as
garden, nothing of which was visible
from our position but the flies and
the back of the wings, and we might
have been placed in great bare barn,
so far as any scenic effect was appar-
ent. Adrian, Baradas and the conspir-
ators were speaking, and at an oppo-
site entrance, waiting for her cue, was
the Julie of the evening. She was
good woman and an excellent actress,
but unfortunately, not personal ia
vorite with the star, who called my
attention to the bismuth with which
she was covered, and said that If she
got any of it onto his new scarlet cloak
he would pinch her black and blue,
putting volumes of smoke into my face
as he spoke.
When the proper time came he rushed
upon the stage, with parting injunc-
ton not to let his pipe go out; and
with the great meerschaum in my own
mouth, I saw the heroine of the play
cast herself into his arms, and noticed,
to my great amusement, that she did
smear the robe of My Lord Cardinal
with the greasy white stuff he SO much
disliked. I winked back at the half
comic, half-angry glance he shot
toward me over jules snowy Shout
ders. half-expected to hear the real
scream he had threatened to cause her
to utter. I thought of nothing but the
humorous. absurd side of the situation;
was eager to keep the pipe going.
And 10! he raised his hand and spoke
those familiar lines: Around her form
draw the awful circle of our solemn
Church. Place but a foot within that
hallowed ground, and on thy head, yea,

and number of other places, at a dis
lance from the center of California pop
ulation." The illumining intelligence of
the Chronicle" upon the subject OF
State geography is something amusing.
The fact is, there is a State Normal
School at San Jose, not Santa Clara,
at Los Angeles and at San Diego. The

the Normal Schools is one we have al
ready considered, but the blunder of
our esteemed contemporary-it is char
liable and amiable to designate it so
mildly-is too refreshingly illustrative
of San Francisco knowledge of State
geography and institutions, to be al

Considerable fun has been poked at
Senator Jones bin providing for pro-

not disposed to think that prohibition

worked well enough any where to COM

strict compliance with the local OPP

ton permits any town, or city, county,
or township to enforce such local SAM
tary, police or ..other regulations as
are not in conflict with general laws
1t is now proposed by the bill in ques-

right to prohibit the sale of intoxicating

Section sol of the: Civil Code limits
the rate of speed for cars on street
railroad tracks to eight miles an hour.
Senate Bill 2S7 proposes to strike out
this limitation. Why? Is it because
it is believed that there should be no
limitation, or that it is best to leave
the whole question of speed to the local
authoritiesof the cities or towns? These
have the power to impose conditions
in granting franchises of that order.
II the latter Is the reason for the pro-
posed amendment. probably 1t is good
and sufacient one.

A Senate bill proposes to establish
the office Of State Tire Marshal at 81
O00 a year with a deputy at So, 500 a
year, and any number Of clerks ana
assistants to be paid by the State. The
Marshal is to locate his Office in San
Francisco, of course, and along with
the local Fire Commissioners and War
den investigate all fires, receive reports
of fires from all over the State, inves-
tigate them. when he sees fit, keep elab-
crate statistics. ETC., and, above all, is
to have the power and functions of a
Justice of the Peace. For all which
the State is to pay ever SO many thous-
ands of dollars. The people are not
hungering and thirsting for more Off
Gals, or longing for the output of
money for more salaries. Apparently
it is a good bill to kill.

Senate Bill 2S6 proposes board Of

misdemeanor with imposition of
fine for each offense, ranging from 500
to $500. A grewsome subject, but one
of such Importance that the effect of
the proposed law upon present statutes
relating to the matter should be very
carefully considered. Since dissection
in the interests of science is necessary,
it is WELL if the law as it stands is in
efficient, to have clear regulative
statute enacted - anything to prevent
the felony of unlawful disinterment
and of body -snatching.
