The story OF love is as old as the world.
and as all embracing as the universe IL
furnishes the sentiment for all romanccs-
all novcls-all plays.
The novelist considers IL wholly from the
sentimental, intellectual side, but there 10
another aspect even more importaut-the
physical side. Sentimental love between
men and women leads 10 close physical as
sociation-to marTiage-to the rearing Of
children. And so health must be consid-

achey woman cannot be a good. helpful
wife. She cannot bear healthy, happy
cnildren. She cannot give her children
the proper care and training.
A sick woman has no right 10 marry. A
sick woman has no right to attempt moth
erhood.
But no woman need be sick unless az
hicted with cancer. There Is a sure way
for her 10 regain her health. She need not
go to a local doctor and submit 10 the dis

AMENDED COMPLAINT.

Wages and He Replies-Other

An amended and rather breezy answer
has been fled in the Superior Court in the

claims there is s2,O2347 due him. He AYERS
that he was to receive SIS a month for his
services and was TO have $3.50 a week for
boarding extra men employed on the farm
In his amended answer to the complaint
Mr.. Ketcham charges that sapp improp-
erly managed the dairy cattle on the farm.
and as result of his unskillful manage
ment many OF the cows died and others
were allowed to go dry" The answer
further charges that Sapp employed large
number OF unnecessary hands on the farm,
including relatives and friends, for the pur-
pose of charging their wages and board TO
the defendant.
Another charge is made that the plaintiff
In order 10 avoid taking care of the cows
and milking them. bought large quantities
OF milk from other parties and sold il to
the defendants customers at a less sum
than the amount paid for IL. 1t Is charged
that the plaintiff sold cows. calves, etc.
from the farm and appropriated the pro-
ceeds 10 his own use without rendering an
account TO the defendant. IL Is also claimed
that certain books containing receipts and
expenditures were destroyed by the plain
tin.
Sapp admits that some books were lost
or destroyed. but he says this happened
when he moved away from the farm. and
he is not responsible for the loss of the
books.

erty In Michigan was to be transferred to
the Bell Company. The reports also said

dependent Telephone Company and the
United States Telephone Company, of

ing that he had nothing whatever 10 do
with the deal; that the property was TO
be transferred TO the Erie Telephone Com
pany, which was formerly Bell concern;
and that the reports sent out were no
doubt for the purpose OF influencing and
injuring the independent lines. Mr.. Everett

AGAINST FREE SILVER
RESOLUTION ENDORSING BRYAN ON
HIS FAD is TABLED.
The Mine Workers Spend the After
noon i'm Executive Session
Matters Considered.

The United Mine Workers convention
went into executive session at 100 yes
terday afternoon to hear the report of the
scale committee and to discuss the wage
question in order to have the matter in
shape TO present at the joint conference
next week between the miners and opera
tors. Everyone except delegates 10 the con-
vention was excluded from the hall, al
though a reporter for a morning news
paper, coming in after the session had
started. managed to pass the doorkeeper
because the latter thought he was a dele
gate, and took seat in the center of the
room. For a few minutes no one noticed
him as he piled his pencil, but Fred
Dilcher, of Ohio, who, during his connec-
ton with the executive board has scraped
up an acquaintance with newspaper men,
finally realized that mistake had been
made and, taking the reporter by the arm,
marched him out into the corridor.
That the majority OF the miners are not
in sympathy with the l6-to-1 free silver
theory was evidenced yesterday morning.
when a resolution indorsing silver and
Bryan was killed with a shout that shook
the hall.
A resolution that the president and men,
bers of the executive board procure copies
of all issues of the Congressional Record
in order to see how various representatives
and senators vote on matters touching the
interests of labor organizations was
adopted. resolution compelling miners
to buy only uniop-made goods and filming
all those who were found guilty of buying
nonunion wares was adopted with an
amendment eliminating the filming clause,
which was felt TO be dangerous.
A movement was made TO revive FORM
er resolution which provided that all agree
ments with operators end at a certain
time all over the country, but in the face
of strong opposition from the Michigan
delegates, who said their agreement was
satisfactory TO them and that repudia-
ton would injure their standing with the
Michigan operators, with whom they had
pleasant relations, the matter was dropped.
Another resolution urging an effort to
secure the release of Alexander Burtman,
who during the Homestead riot attempted
to kill III. G. Frick, of the Carnegie COM
pany. and was sentenced 10 twenty-five
years imprisonment, was adopted after
several strong speeches, the gist OF which
was that Burtman had suffered enough and
that his severe sentence was largely due
TO the local feeling at the time of the riots.
Before going into executive session Pres
ident Mitchell took occasion to deny the
statement made in morning paper that he
was after the position about to be vacated
by former President Ratchford. who Is now
a member of the United States Industrial
Commission.
