SACRAMENTO. CAL, Jan. 3.-When the

from the senate on the pending question

himself as confident that this question is
OF more Importance to the country than

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
TALK WITH MRS. pryYHAs.1

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 a 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. +. S. Bennett.
WestphaIia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR Mrs. PISKHAM:-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 a short time.
that terrible flow stopped.
= anu now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than I
have had for the past ten years.

ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one SO kind and willing t.

TREATY GOES TO SENATE.
Work of Paris Peace Commission Will
he Submitted to Congress
Profanity TO-INy,

WASHINGTON, Jan 3.-'The treaty of
peace negotiated at Paris will be submitted
to congress almost Immediately on its re-
conNeninS-p probably tomorrow Although
tempting opportunity offers for the pre-
SentatiCn of the most forcibe argument for
the speedy ratification of the treaty, in the
shape of q ringing message to congress on
the subject. President Mckinley has decid
ed to leave the presentation of the merits
of the treaty to its friends in the senate
Accordingly. the treaty will go to the latter
body with the hrefest possible message of
transmission by the president.
Although il is admitted unofficialiy that
the text Of the conventions has been puo-
lshed in the papers with absolute ac-
curacy, the executive still insists upon
maintaining official secrecy TO the
treaty, as 4 courtesy to the senate. which
Will be allowed the privilege of making the
document public i'll its own discretion.
1t is not known at this time whether the
protocol will accompany the treaty. or
whether that will be submitted later to the
committee on foreign relations. At any
rate, they are of very little public interest
and that little is purely historical. for. tie
results of the commissions work now being
known. there is little general curiosity to
learn the steps by which they We're
reached.
