Many a woman Is continually cross, mo-

and the cause of all the trouble, will be
found that the system is out of order; the
blood needs tOning up. When this is done
there follows, buOyanoy Of feeling, and

Many woman is regretfully watching the

distressing every day. The best way to over

Woman's face Is expressed in the following
story told by Mrs. A. Fox an esteemed resi-.

"Three years ago last April, " she Gays, "I

searched about the upper floor. She

heart. Quickly he turned and scurried
down the stairs, struck q match in the
parlor, another in the dining room.
Both were empty. The den and it's clos

Out he went through the kitchen to
the eastward porch again. The light

The sounding of the fire alarm
at eleven o'clock Sunday morning
called out the Winona company.
The boys hurried to the corner of
West and Sixth streets where it was
supposed the alarm was sent in
from, only to find that it was a
fake, as usual. If it is the intention
to test the system every now and
then, it should be so stated, in order
that the fire companies and the
people may be kept posted. The
alarm Sunday morning, frightened
great many, who left churches
where services were going on, and
the people are becoming tired of this
everlasting practice of tapping the
bell just for fun, especially ON a hot
day like Sunday.

He stopped at the watering trough,

The top was torn off the buggy,
