NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
"a TALK WITH MRS. PINKuAM1

A woman with the blues is very I'M
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known a,
" the blues nearly always. with we.
men, results from diseased organs CT
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 viii
overcome depressed spirits and ncry-
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. PINEHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends. l wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
Il am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than /
have had for the past ten years. l
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ing women, do not suffer longer when
there is one SO kind and willing to
aid you"

Since 1887 the commercial growth of
mushrooms has been carried on in a
disused railway tunnel in Edinburgh,
leased from the North British com
pany. The output sometimes reaches
5000 pounds of mushrooms a month,
and it is claimed that they are the lin
est in the world, The success OF this
experiment has led the Scottish Mush-
room company to negotiate for the
lease of anoth II diSused tunnel under
the Law Hill at Dundee, which is
equally fitted for the purpose. Here
is hint for English traders. At the
present price of mushrooms their cul-
ture is profitable, aud no doubt there
are railway companies with tunnels
wasting for such an occupation. Lon

terday, John Finley, II years old, broke
through. His cries were heard by his
mother almost Immediately, and se1z7

coming up beneath the ice, were

Latterly all the employees of the

of the Highlands could habltuate
themselves to the life Of loneliness;
only constitutions of iron, hardened

essential that the brain power of the
factors should be unimpaired, aud that
their energies should rise superior to
the depressing surroundings in fact,

sudden call was made on his mental

How Long Will You Permit 1t?

For what lene 9Th of time will you permit the
"Klondlkc" settlement of dives and death
traps to menace the old soldiers at the
Leavenworth Soldiers Home? The response
bility is yours. 1t is first of all the duty
OF the Leavenworth county to clean out this
disreputable nest but he is not brave enough
either money or the magnitude of the task
makes coward OF him. 1t devolves upon the
city of Leavenworth to see that the sheriff does
his duty, but Laavenworth is not morally strong
enough to do anything of the sort. Ii is the
plain duty of the state officials to make the To-
cal officers do their duty, but there is no init
nation of any such movement. Therefore, it
falls upon the people OF the state to take the
matter up and demand that the outrages cease.
The responsibility is on you. 1t is only by ag-
itation that something definite can be accomp-
lshed. Write to the sheriff of Leavenworth
county and tell him what you think of him,
and write to Governor Stanley what he ought
to do as one of the peoples hired men. Stir
up trouble of some kind if you have any love
tor the old soldier.--Topeka Farmers Advo-

burning shame, and the United States must for
ever feel it. | have seen men die that were too
good to be put up as targets for half-civilized

The war we enlisted for is Over. We enlist

not since they butchered some of our boys.

The People Should Retain Power.

The people do great wrong by allowing SO
much power to representatives. 1t has an evil
influence it tends to poison the political at
mosphere. The speaker of the national house
of representatives enjoys what amounts to an
absolute veto of any and all measures 1t is i'll
his power to def lat a measure that class inter
ests might be willing to pay millions of dollars
to have defeated. Don't you know il is crime
fol us to throw such a vast temptation before
any man? We tempt our lawmakers, our del
egates and our committees. We do great
wrong to them, to our country, to humanity III
general by so doing. What noble proposition
the initiative and referendum is 1t would en-
able men high up in public affairs to remain
pure, patriotic ana noble. Outside of guard
ing the interests of the masses of the people,
there are reasons insurmountable why the in
itiative and referendum should be adopted.-
