often those words are on woman's lips.
They express to the uttermost the nerve
racked condition of the body, which makes
life daily martyrdom.
If this condition had come suddenly it
would have been unbearable. But the trans

day on the nerves. A little more drain each
day Of the vitality. Amy woman will be glad
to oe rid of such condition. Every woman
tries to be rid of it. Thousands of such

NEW POSTAGE STAMPS.
Something Of the New Series Placed
on Sale Here,

|
The Pan-American issue OF postage
stamps placed on sale here for the
first time, is designated "Commemo-
rative Series 1901, because it com.
memorates the year 1901 as the be.
ginning Of tie twentieth century and
incidentally the opening Of tAs Pan
American exposition at Buffalo. The
series consists Of six varieties. The
engraving OF each variety is excel.
lent, no flaws as yet having been
discovered in any OF the issue. Each
Of these stamps represents what is
styled an "aid to commerce.
They are printed in two colors,
red and black. The design is that of
a framed picture, the aid to commerce
being typitied by the picture Of some
vehicle of transportation.
The l-cent stamp represents East
Lake Navigation" the object selected
TO typify it being late steamship.
The 2-cent stamp which will be most
used, represents the fast railroad
service OF the country. The picture
engraved on the stamp is that Of the
Empire State Express" reproduce
ton Of the photograph OF the train so
named, when the locomotive was
speeding along at the rate II sixty
four miles an hour.
The Accent stamp has the picture OF
an automobile engraved upon it and
is designed to represent the latest
mode Of travel. The 5.eent stamp
presents picture Of the steel arch
bridgr over the Niagara river at Nj
agara Falls. The Scent stamp shows
the locks at Sault Ste. Marie. 1t IL
through tbe,p eks that steamships
pass from Buffalo out to western
points.
The 10 cent stamp gives an illus.
tratioh OF lnodera ocean steamship.
Each particular stamp in the new
series has real artistic merit and rail-
road aud steamship companies have
not been slow in recognizing their
value as setting forth their particular
lines Of commerce.
The most common variety will, OF
course, be the 2cent stamp. 1t is
expected that more than 5000, 900 OF
this variety will be printed.
A great demand for the new stamps
is expected. The stamp collectors
will buy the stamps in large lots for
the purpose Of holding them and max
ing a handsome profit on them when
the issue is obsolete.

help in the harvest. For this reason
the employment bureau is asked to
push this department. The city
clerk has received letter asking him
to report to the state employment
bureau all the available men who will
60 to the wheat fields from Abilene.
This report must be mailed out by

intending to 60 should leave his name
