Miss Ida B. Wood, Los Angeles, Cal, Vice President of the Young Women's Union, writes as follows;
 ST am thankful to you for placing on the market such a valuable medicine as Peruna. Iconsider it of especial value for the different ailments of women, it's restorative powers have saved me much pain and now enjoy perfect health. l advise my friends to use Peruna instead of doctor's prescriptions which I have found very expensive and uncertain.

 Erail Women.
 That American women are growing more slender and frail is too apparent to any observer for argument. Slender ness and fragility are the words that best describe the typical girl of to-day. From an aesthetic standpoint, perhaps, all this is an improvement on the more sturdy and buxom woman of two gen. erations ago; but from the doctors standpoint is 8 rapid degeneration. These delicate creatures are easy to get sick, hard to keep well and very difficult to cure when sick.
 Dr. Hartman has given this subject especial study and thought, and has done much toward remedying the mat ter. He makes an annual distribution of books devoted to the subject of the care and cure of women.

FIRE CAUSES LOSS
 OF OVER $1O,OOO
BUILDING OCCUPIED BY ELAM DRUG COMPANY CATCHES FIRE LAST NIGHT--cHEMIcALs MAKE A HARD FIRE TO SURDUE.

Fire last night about s:SO o'clock par tially destroyed the stock of the Elam Drug company at 1416 and i4ls First avenue. The loss will be very heavy, a large quantity of medicines and chemi- calls being ruined and the bottles and demijohns holding them broken.
 The stock was estimated at about $2O.- GOO. The loss was probably 50 per cent of the stock. It is understood that the stock was insured for about three-quar- ters of it's value.
 The building belongs to Mrs. Roscoe Mcconnell and her brother N. A.. Rich ards. It was valued at about $450O and E350o insurance. It was only partially destroyed.
 The fire evidently started in the front of the store on the second story. It spread rapidly and when the department arrived the building was a mass of flames. The origin of the fire is a mys- tery and the fire department and insur- ance companies will make a thorough investigation this morning.
 The Elam drug company is a corpora

tion of which E. E. Elam is president and W. H. Elam secretary and treasurer. The former was on his way to the rail- road station to leave the city for Sunday when he was told of the fire. W. H. Elam was out of the city.
 Owing to the combustable nature of the stock the fire was very hard to man. age and the flremen had a difficult task. It required nearly four hours to quench the flames. The oil, alcohol and other inf1amable goods burned rapidly and as soon as the flames were subdued in one place they would break out afresh in another.
 The explosion of large demijohn of alcohol came very nearly injuring sever al of the fremen. The force was such as to knock them backwards.

tion, in sorrow, thought it best to pass the subject in silence. When the con- stitutional convention met under the law, a second time enacted, Governor John ston was in the opposition, and is still in opposition to the constitution ordained by it.
 He contended in his campaign for sem ator of the United States. that the negro vote had become harmless to the state and that there was no occasion for re- formation of the constitution to abridge it. In his speeches and messages he declared that there was no such thing as negro supremacy or domination in Ala bama. In this way and in other ways he sought the support of that vote in the election of his friends to the legislature with a view to his election to the senate. If any change has occurred in his opin- Ions and line of action, I have seen no evidence of the fact.
 Opposed Ratification.
 He opposed the ratification of the new constitution by the people, and he now says that if he is elected governor he will accept the new constitution as a valid law, but that he will seek to amend it, and will administer 1t so as to make 1t light on the people; as if it was a burden on them too intolerable to be borne. Is 1t the white race or the negro race to whom he thus pledges his official powers as governor; for the removal of these alleged constitutional puroens7 Iie omts to inform us. As he does not wan, the office for It's salary or it's honor, but for vindication, he owes 1t to the people that he should at least state the points in which he will seek to amend the constitu- ticn, and to relieve the peopIe rom its ale ged burdens. He wants nomination to the office for some purpose but omits to specify, yet he says he does not desire

that left the Democratic party, and the

that left the Democratic party, and the
World says:
The Democrats who are still at "the
old stand" occupy the only right and
hopeful rallying-point for a reunion of
the scattered forces, to be effected
without recantation on one side or re-
proaches on the other, for a new de-
parture on old lines.
This is fine description of the brand
of "harmony" favored by the reorgan-
izers.
1.-The only right and hopeful rally
ing-point for reunion of the scattered
forces" is the point occupied by those
who deserted the Democratic party in
1896 and in 1900.
The only way by which harmony
may be obtained is to permit these re-
organizers to write the platform and
to make it so nearly like the Republi-
can platform that the chief difference
between the Democratic party and the
Republican party will be in name.
1t is gratifying to be told by this
eminent reorganizer that if the mil
lions of Democrats who were faithful
in 1896 and in 1900 will go to "the
only right and hopeful rallying-point
for reunion'-which, in other words,
is the point occupied by the deserters
the millions of faithful Democrats
may privately entertain whatever opn-
ions they choose and will be spared
the humiliation of being reproached
for giving public expression to their
honest opinions in the campaigns of
1896 and 1900.-IHe C0mn0ner.

prescribed for her proved Intellectual
and she was growing worse every
