HELP FOR WOMEN
WHO ARE ALWAYS TIRED.

II do not feel very well, 1 am so
tired all the time. / do not know what
is the matter with me-"
You hear these words every day; as
often as you meet your friends just SO
often are these words repeated. More
than likely you speak the same signif-
cant words yourself. and no doubt you
do feel far from well most of the time.
Mrs. Ella Rice, of Chelsea, Wis.
whose portrait we publish, writes that
she suffered for two years with bear
ing-down pains, headache, backache,
and had all kinds of miserable feelings,
all of which was caused by falling and
inflammation of the womb, and after
%doctoring with physicians and numer-
GUS medicines she was entirely cured by

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound.
If you are troubled with pains,
fainting spells, depression of spirits,
reluctance t. go anywhere, headache,
backache, and always tired, please re-
member that there is an absolute
remedy which will relieve you of your
suffering as it did Mrs. Rice. Proof
is monumental that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is the
greatest medicine for suffering women.
No other medicine has made the cures
that it has, and no other woman has
helped SO many women by direct advice
as has Mrs. Pinkham her experience
is greater than that of any living per-
son. If you are sick, write and get

In Scotland the h~alfpenny is called
n 'bawbee." but how it came to receive
that name is not n matter of common
knowledge. 1t appears that the first
attempt at the portraituTe of the I'M
fortunate Mary, queen Of Scots, was
made in her earliest infancy, and her
wee" fac was engraved upon the
Scottish halfpennies at the time OF her
coronation in 1913. when she was but
9 months old. A number of these
small coins are still preserved. and it
will be easily understood hat the

of progress had become very obvious.
II is to be noted says the Times. that
though u DECLINE in the development of
trade marked the last half of the closing
Of ;,c nineteenth century, the trade re-
turns for that year are by far the largest
,,f any recorded. The total value of I'M
ports increased from 4S5,o00,0Go pounds
sterling in 1899 TO So, 100000 pounds ste-l-
ing in 1900. while the total value of eX-
ports OF British and Irish produce showed
a, similar increase. But this was chiefly
due 10 the increased value and not to the
increased quantity OF the imports OF raw
materials. For instance, the value of the
cotton imported increased JOG per cent.
While lis quantity only increased Gi per
cent. The imports OF copper fell OIL 81
per cent. in quantity, but were increased
q per cent. in value, while the exports
Of coal and coke increased in quantity a
little over 3 per cent, but in value over
&c per cent In fact. the high prices which
make these totals look SO imposing are
among the main causes of depreciation
that has begun in the chief branches OF
industry.
The manufacturers both in the hardware
and textile industries We're severely pen
allied by the high level which has been
obtained by prices for raw materials.
1t is pointed out that each rise OF one
shilling per ton in the price OIL coal
means an additional cost of five st.illinss
7,er ton in the manufacture of iron, and
during the year 1900 the price of coal
AVERAGED in England eight shillings per
ton more than in 1891.
In addition 10 all this the war in South
Africa has increased the price OF labor
in the home market, and the British
manufacturers have been confronted with
a Situation that while it has not yet
progressed far enough to become serl-
ously alarming, it yet gives sufficient
cause for uncasincss and serious a3pre-
hension on the part of the British. This
situation in England only serves to BRING
ont info clearer relief the extraordinary
advantages of a country like ours. where
not only do We have the greatest protu-
sion Of raw material in the shape OF IRON,
coal and cotton but We have a working
population which is intelligent, active and
willing to CO. operate with the manage
ment in using Tie most improved ma

nears ito so many deep and patriotic
thinkers, as the most threatening danger
on our political horizon, was therone bright
particular star whose presence gave no
light in John iAlarshallss heavens, for ITS
ravs were obscured by the popular clamor
for decentralization.
AIr. Justice Story says in his address
on the life of John Marshall, that Mr.
Nlarshall's fear was that the centrifugal
force Of government was 50 much stronger
than its centripetnl force that the govern
rncnt would inevitably go to pieces, and
it was to the prevention of this that Mr..
Marshall lent his powers.
It appears to us, however, that the
spirit of corporation is SO strong that
the danger which confronts the govern
mea2t of to-day is rather to be found in
the loss of individual initiative by an over
poworing central administration than in
breaking up of the present civilized world
into small and ASSOCIATED communities.
The present tendency of societies seem
TO be markedly towards cohesion rather
than diffusion. This has received a special
proof In the growth Of the German Empire,
in the recent federation Of Australia, in
the classification Of Finland Poland and
Siberia, and above all other examples in
the cohesive power shown by the Aus
trian Empire. 1t is most extraordinary
that this empire, which, is composed of
people OF diverse te1npera1nents, different
nationality, different antecedcnts, differ
ent languages and different race Ideals.
should be held together Us ut is and as it
will. in all probability, continue to be. The
breaking up of the Austrian Empire has
been confidently predicted for years. SO
has the breaking up of Turkey and Mo
rocco for that matter, and yet Mr.. Sidney
Brooks. in IL recent letter to the London
Spectator says that the Austrian Empire
has never been more strongly national or
at unity with itself than in the last lew
years. This state of mind, Mr. Brooks
thinks. is nothing but the present out
come Of tho tendency Of nations to stand
together from an instructive feeling that
in union there is force, and in disunion
there is weakness which will inevitably be
taken advantage of by the other competi-
tors for the trade and ownership Of the
