fers to Treat Women Free During
the Summer Months.

America is the land Of nervous women.
The great majority of nervous women
are so because they are suffering from
some form OF female disease. BY far the
greatest number OF female troubles are
caused by catarrh.
Womcn afflicted with pelvic catarrh de-
spair of recovery. Female trouble Is so
common, so prevalent, that they accept
it as almost inevitable. The greatest OBJ
stacle in the way Of recovery is that they
do not understand that it is catarrh which
is the source of their illness. In female
complaint. ninety-nine cases out Of one
hundred are nothing but catarrh. rerunI

Strange-so strange l could not get
over it-that the last t~wenty-four
hours had set the world wagging an

There was Fanny jacket up in Bos-

whom I'd have sworn even now was Of

There's but little good in denying
what we know to be so, and tbs quite
true that I thought again and again Of
dear little Fanny watching me from a
certain window some day when / came
homeward, and giving me the doings
of her sex at supper, as L gave her
those of mine In exchange.
Will not a man or boy of any g do
the same thing a hundred times in as
many months? But Fanny seemed to
have been there longest, ~oftenest. Yet
had I never so much as suspected in
all this what was tearing through my
mind now after as uncanny a night as
a man might dread to be repeated.
There stood Fanny's little white face
against every tree as we-Roger and l

shining through II, looking strangely
at me, another that / had seen but
part Of a day-angry, proud, kind, hui
morous, anything but sweet, az 1t

different Fannies and all her friends
that I'd ever known swallowed up in
something new. / could have dropped

How They Are Guardsd In Trans
mission EetvN.en Officials.

London Tit-Bits; 1t says much for the
integrity of government officials that all
knowledge Of our recent important treaty
with Japan was successfully withheld
from foreign nations until the compact
had been actually sealed. but the great
care exercised In guarding q diplomatic
secret renders a premature announcement
very rare indeed. No government secret
when first born is ever committed to pa
per, except on the rare occasion when
minutes of a abine meeting are taken
and forwarded to the sovereign. As a
rule, our ministers meet and transact
business without any one being the wiser,
for no official Of any kind is allowed to
be present.
once the government has decided upon
an important piece Of foreign policy, it
has to be transmitted to our representa-
tive abroad, and for the first time the Sc
cret is put in writing in the form Of I'M
Ineligible cipher, the key to which is al
ready in the hands OF our ambassador.
The men who draw up these intricate
cipher codes are reliable officials specially
employed by the government. and they
often obtain from $500 to 500 for a single
code. The dispatch having been prepared,
1t is given into the care of a kings mes
senger who wears attached TO his person
n bag fitted with a secret lock. To this
lock there are only two Keystone in the
possession of the foreign office and the
other retained by our ambassador, who
must unlock the bag himself or instruct
his secretary TO do so upon the messer-
gers arrival.
The journey between this country and
abroad is a risky one, because the mes
sengcr is beset with spies, and, although
he travels incognito and well armed, there
is always the chance of his being set upon
and robbed. To avoid this, when an i'm
portant dispatch is being carried. he IS
Swallowed by two detectives throughout
the Journey, so that they can instantly
come to his assistance is necessary. When
travelling by rail he engages a special
compartment, and If called upon TO do
so he will nave to lose his life before sac
riicing the dispatch. In return he re-
ceives a salary of GiO0 a year, in addition
to G1 a day when travelling and all ex-
penses found, but before being employed
he has to be nominated bv an official fill-
ing an important position under govern
ment who will hold himself responsible
for his being a reliable messenger and not
n foreign agent. Sometimes, to avoid
danger, the courier carries with him the
special sanction of International law,
whereby every country through which he
passes becomes responsible for his safety.

honored In the breach'-but she got no
farther, and after the mirth Of the
young people subsidized the debate was
closed by mutual consent.
A little girl was spending the sum-

n one morning as she played upon
the veranda of the hotel where her
mother was stopping she heard q
lengthy conversation upon the fashions
OF the day and the absolute necessity
of stylishness in dress If one hoped to
be a success In society. One lady went
so far as to say that stylishness was
far more importan>t than beauty.
That night as the child said her
usual prayer she added with great
earnestness, And, o dear Lord, do
please make me stylish"
