BRADFIELD'S
Female Regulator

for young girls on the threshold of woman
hood, has been invaluable. When they be
come pale and languid, the eyes dull,
aching head, feet and hands cold, appetite
gone or abnormal obstructed periods and
painful menses, and their systems general
ly run down, they need building up, and
their blood needs cleansing.
Bradfeld's Female Regulator for women
is particularly valuable and useful owing
to its tonic properties to build up the sys-
TEN, and as a regulator of the menstrual
flows. Painful, obstructed and suppressed
menstruation permanently relieved and all
diseases peculiar to her genital organs are
cured by it.
Regulator clears the complexion, bright
ems the eye, sharpens the appetite, removes
muddy ana blotched conditions of the skin
and cures SICK headache to a certainty by
removing the cause.

 There being no national election un- til 1904, President Roosevelt and the politicians will not be so interested in the distress of the miners. or of the people. and another long drawn out fight in the anthracite coal fields may be in prospect.
 It is understood that President Roosevelt brought the coal trust op- orators to agree 10 the commis sion" by the threat of proceedings against them under the interstate and anti trust statutes. As the price of coal has been advanced by the trust, in spite of the staying of the strike. much beyond the price in former years. the administration would seem 10 be responsible for the high price. if no steps are taken 10 bring the trust to time. If their fear of the threat of the president was sufficient to make them agree to allow a com mission to be appointed. the same power could force the trust 10 stop bleeding the public by the high price of coal.
 Neither President Roosevelt or the coal trust operators need think that the coal consumers will be satisfied until they are furnished coal at a req sonable price

The newest belts are fastened with a button in gold, silver or gem such as turquoise. Gun metal belts are novelty and the snake belt is one of the fancies of the moment The lat ter come in gold and silver and their effectiveness Is enhanced if worn over velvet, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 The boa p-n-the haudsomer the better-is an essential possession of the woman who would keep in touch with fashions whims Some of the designs in these fasteners are partic- ularly handsome. one in silver set with rmnestones and black pearls being an example.
 A few plaita at he back of the new petticoats lend a little fullness with out detracting from the desired sheathlike effect.
 Velvet ribboas are now seen with velvet on both sides. The center is in solid color with striped edges combin- ing the center color and white.
 The most fashionable hat for small girls is a big flat silky haired beaver, trimmed with feather pompons and immense bows with long streamers.
 Green is favored color for coats for little girls, particularly in velvet. An ecru lace collar beaver fur or ermine forms the trimming.
 The seasons designs in negligee are noticeable for their elegance and elab- oration.
 The modish hat pin is topped with pear-shaped pearl or round topaz or amethyst framed in gun metal. Crys- tal beads with setting of gun metal are used for some of the long chains. for which there is decided liking just now.
 In Paris there is fancy for wear ing chains of silver, finished with pend- ants in the form of large cabuchon stones. Emeralds, sapphires, rubies and the lesser lights in the gem world are thus utilized.
