In good condition she Is sweet and lovable,
and sings life's song on Joyful harmonious
string. Out Of order or unstrung, there Is
discordance and unhappiness. Just as there
Is one keynote to all music so there Is one key
note to health. A woman might as we'll try
to fly without wings as to feel well and look
well while the organs that make her woman
are weak or diseased. She must be healthy
inside or she can't be healthy outside. There
are thousands Of women suffering silently all
over the country. Mistaken modesty urges
their silence. While there Is nothing more
admirable than q modest woman, health Is
OF the first importance. Every other con-
sderation should give way before it. Brad

Engagement.

engagement.
PRETORIA. July 4-There was some fir
ing beyond Penaarspoort yesterday, but
neither the British nor the Beers appear
to seek general engagement.
The railway is now the leading factor in
the settlement here. The Netherlands
Company has been surprised by the amount
of traffic carried by the line within a
month after the British occupation. There
is urgent need for the completion of
quantity of unfinished engineering work in
the shops here, and in order to have this
done the British engineers offered to re-
employ number of the company's work
men who had been laid off when General
Roberts seized the line.
The offer was accepted and the men re-
sumed work for few days. when depu-
tation said that they would be better pro-
tected II they were Communicated. This
was done, but few days later there were
some defections caused by a Boer political
agent, who persuaded number of work
men that it was unlawful to commander
labor.
There has been a smaller market than
usual for two days owing to the fact that
eleven Boer wagons laden with meat and
mealies were seized at the front. Those
in charge of the wagon declared that they
were coming to the Pretoria market, but
it is contended that the supplies they were
carrying were intended for Commandant
General Botha.
About fifty foreigners who were made
burghers by the Transvaal Government
during the war have been given passes
and advised to get 10 the coast as quickly
as possible. 1t is stated that after laying
down their arms they acted in such man
ner as to arouse the suspicious of the
British. and it was considered that it
would be better for them to leave the
country.

DEFEAT FOR ]. |. NORRIS
The Wou!d-Be Boss Receives a
Hard Blow at Kansas City.
gub-Committec's Action Reversed by
the Credentials Committee - Dis
trict Seats Divided Between the
RirnI Dclegates-ETect ON the Sc
lection of National Committeeman.

KANSAS CITY. July 4.-"Jim" Nor. is as
a factor in District of Columbia polit cs is
now a back number. He was discredi' ed
by an authorized body of the National Con-
yention, the Committee on Creder tials,
today. That committee met and, af, er
hearing a tear-bleaching story I on No ris
himself, decided by vote of rs to s that
the Norris delegation were not entitled to
their seats.
Later on the committee took another bal
lot and agreed to give half vote each to
the contestants and the contestees. Now
that the Holmead faction, so-cal!ed, is ad-
mitted to the Convention on an equal fo-t-
ing with the Norris crowd, the quest oa
comes up as to the District rep: sentative
on the National Committee.
Norris cannot hope to get single vote
from the Holmead delegates, and on the
other hand the Norris men will not vote for
Holmead man. II is generally understood
that if the District delegates fail TO name
a national committeeman, that the COM
mittee will select Hon. William Die. son.
Members of the National Committee are
of the opinion that a registration law or
rule should govern the next primaries in
the District of Columbia, SO as 10 prevent
the Norris method of electing delegates by
the counting-in process.
Norris cannot succeed himself as a
member of the National Committee. l
have heard a dozen members of the COM
mittee say that he is not the fit man for
such position and that if the committee
has to fill the Office they will vote for any
one rather than Norris.
When the Convention reassembled the
report of the Committee on Credentials
was read, giving the District of Columbia
contestants and contestees one-half of a
vote each. Mr.. Vandever, of Maryland.
spoke for the contestees, paving a high
tribute to James L. Norris. A vote being
taken, the Convention adopted the report
of the Credentials Committee. ]. J. d.
