THE STRENUOUS LIFE
OF TODAY MORE WEARING ON
WOMEN THAN ON MEN.
HOW BEST TO AID NATURE IN THE
UNEQUAL STRUGGLE.

DR.. Cyrus Edison. the great special
ist, says in the North American Re-
view these true words: This
American life of ours is far more
wearing on women than on men.
They have, as a rule. more nervous
organization, they are intensely af-
fected by the strain. TIVE or three
children are born and the mother is a
physical wreck, she ages soon, far
sooner than she should, and drags her
weary days along"
The delicate nervous organization
of women, especislly when great
strain is put upon it, needs assist
ance, and in the simple vegetable
scientific preparation Warmers Safe
Cure, this aid is surely found. This
statement is no idle boast, but an es-
tablished fact educed from results at
tanned through the use of this great
specific in all parts of the civilized
world for the past quarter of a GEN.
fury.
Knowing the inherent modesty of
women, Warmers Safe Cure Co. has
secured the services of Mrs. Alice (.
Mccullough, NJ. D., who will give
medical advice free to any applying
for same.
The subioined testimonial from a
well known and trustworthy woman
is but a sample of those daily re-
ceived:
Mrs. j. w. Arnold, of Lafayette, r.
l., writes as follows: Il had been
ailing quite a while, not sick enough
to be in bed, but just felt bad all
over; palpitation, faint feeling at
my stomach, then flashes of heat all
over; lame back, retention of fluids,
then again too copious; sickness at
stomach, headache over eyes and top
of head, also at back of neck. l had
no ambition, my work was drag on
me, could not sleep well. not much
appetite and was thoroughly discour-
aged. At this juncture a friend ad
vised the use of Warmers Safe Cure
and tried it, three bottles in all, and
have continued in good health ever
since. My age is As, am farmers
wife and have lots to do. You are at
liberty to use this as you think best,
as l have to thank Safe Cure for the
good health enjoy today"

THE Chicago Times-Herald of this
morning devotes space to an excellent
likeness and write-up of G. K. Ladd,
of Kewanee, in which it says: Charles
K. Laid, whose gubernatorial boom
is now moving with renewed speed
because of the retirement of Judge
Tuley, is one of the leading spirits of
Henry county, and likewise one of the
most clear-headed lawyers in Illinois.
He came as a young man from his ma
tive hills of New Hampshire to Bureau
county and settled in Kewanee in
1860. After his graduation from the
law school of the University of Michi-
gan Mr.. Ladd began the practice of
his profession in his home city, and
has occupied the same office since
1867. As lawyer he is noted for his
perspicacity, his marvellous memory
of decisions rendered by the supreme
court and his ability thoroughly to
grasp the essential points of the case
before him. AS an orator he is pow
erful, eloquent, logical and convinc-
ing. He has been of signal service to
his party in various campaigns. he
was prominent as delegate in the
democratic national conventions of
1892 and 1896. 1t was Mr.. Ladd who
at the Chicago convention of 1896
made the speech which quieted the
disorder and defeated Senator Hill for
temporary chairman. Mr.. Ladd bears
a striking personal resem blance TO
William Jennings Bryan"

For Campaign Purposes.

The railroads of the country have
an Gunused surplus of 500. 600. 900
which they purpose expanding in rail-
road Improvements. This money will
come handy in the doubtful states and
enable large colonies to acquire a vot-
ing residence. In democratic states
japanese contract labor will be en-
ployed. the western roads now en-
ploying 10000 Japanese coolies and
bringing in more thousands. The
natural query is out of whose pockets
was this enormous surplus pulled?
