The work Of the average woman.
whether she be in charge of a house
hold, where the work is always doing,
but never done, or behind a counter,
or in a schoolroom, is Of sort that
rarely leaves her with strength or in
cl1nation for anything else.
The strain upon most women's
nerves is so great that a breakdown
stares many of them constantly in the
face, which means loss of work, doc
tors bills and encouragement.
One of the earliest and one of the
most infallible indications of failing
nervous strength is the inability to
sleep soundly
No fact is more clearly esta blished
than that sleep repairs the tired nerv-
Gus tissues and that the loss of sleep
deranges the health more quickly and
more seriously than any other priva-
ton the body can suffer. The great
effort, then, of every poor sleeper
should be to strengthen the nerves.
The fact that hundreds of men and
women in every community have been
cured Of insomnia by Paines celery
compound tells it's own story of the
invigoratlng effect of this wonderful
remedy, not only upon the nerves. but
upon the entire nervous system
Physicians prescribe Paine's celery
compound where the nerves have be-
come SO exhausted that not only sleep
but digestion is interfered with. Its

immediate invigorating effect in such
| cases is shown in the following letter
from Mrs. Fannie West, president of
the South Side relief society of Chica-
go. The letter is dated December u,
1898:
I'VE feel very glad to acknowledge
the fine qualities of Paine's celery COM
pound. 1t is the best remedy we know
of for building up the nervous system.
Our doctors prescribe it, and it always
gives immediate relief"
Back Of nervousness. sleeplessness
and many of the peculiar ailments of
women is poverty of the blood. Pale
ness, thinness of body and weakness
are evidences of poor blood. In some
cases palpitation Of the heart is com
planned of, and when the poverty is
greatest, the lips are pallid and the
tongue almost colorless.
In these cases of anaemia If Paine's
celery compound is used the gain from
day to day is plainly noticeable. It's
tonic effect in renewing the blood and
restoring the strength has been lit
tie short Of miraculous in cases of ex-
IRENE emaciation and nervous pros
tration.
If a woman feels that she is losing
ground in weight and strength she
should set about increasing the blood
supply at once with the aid-of Paine's
celery compound.

MISUSE OF MAILS.
r.. A. Becker and His Clerk Have
Gotten Into Trouble.

Rudolph A. Becker, druggist at 241
East Seventh street, and Frederick
Munich. a clerk, were arrested yester-
day afternoon on warrants sworn out
by the United States district attorney
charging them with violating section
1898 of the revised statutes in sending
printed matter through the mails to
which the use of the mails had been
forbidden. Both waived preliminary ex-
animation and were held to await the
action Of the federal grand jury at the
June term of court in $500 bonds each
by United States Commissioner Spen-
Ger.
The men are charged with having,
under the name OF the Brown Chemical
company, sent out circulars through
the mails advertising certain medicines
under the ban. Mr.. Becker claims that
he didn't know the mailing of the mat
ter in question was a violation of the
postal laws.
The penalty provided for the offense
charged is a fine of from 800 to $1,000
or imprisonment from one to ten years
or both.

Mr. Schain Rep.), of Traverse In H

have adjoining counties join together

county conducting a poorhouse sepa-
rate. The cost of the institution, where
one or more counties join together, is
to be divided in proportion to the as
sessed valuation of the counties. The
cost of maintenance is to be paid by
