through the desert and where its
waters touch the before-time lifeless
sand gardens spring up and cotton

tie between the Nile, a yellow thread
and the bare, brown sands for Egypt's
life, conflict continually in progress
Each fall, fattened by the Abyssinian
rains, the Nile, muddier than the Mis-
souri, and mightier than the MISSISSIPPI
pi, dashes out upon the sands and
drives back the encroaching desola-
ton. Each summer time it retreats
into its narrow bed, and the grim des:
ert grasps the hard-won sands again
Sometimes the Nile does not rise to the
conflict with full vigor, and, in conse-
quence, the clutch of the desert is un-
loosed, the thin ears devour the fat:
and there is famine, actual or threat
ened, in the land. Once upon a time.

What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic cauarrh. It has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases Of the
pelvic organs are the cause of most cases Of
female disease.
DR.. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
q woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it SO admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now be-
come the most famous remedy for female
diseases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using it and praising it..
Peruna is not a palliative simply; it
cures by removing the cause of female
disease
DR.. Hartman hos probably cured more
women of female ailments than any other
living physician. He makes these cures
simply by using and recommending Peruna.

Attorney General Of Illinois Says
State Can Not Make Con.
tracts for Prison Labor
DECISION IS OF IMPORTANCE
Revenu. From That Source Help.
Largely to Support Penal Institutions
Of That state-constitution of I'LL
nois Expressly Prohibits Letting Of
Prison Labor by Contract.

Springfield, Ill.,, Oct 8.-All existing
convict labor contracts are in violation
of the constitution, in the opinion of
Attorney General H. ]. Hamlin. The
attorney general also expresses the
opinion that the state can not make any
legal contracts for prison labor. The
opinion was rendered to Governor
Yates upon his request.
is of great Importance, because the
contract labor system in the penal in
situations of Illinois furnishes revenue
that helps largely to support the insti-
buttons. Without the revenue from
convict labor the expenses of the state
will be increased several hundred thou
sand dollars a year
Judge Hamlin in his opinion quotes a
paragraph Of the constitution, which
says:
Hereafter 1t shall be unlawful for
the commissioners of any penitentiary
or other reformatory institution In the
state of Illinois to let by contract to any
person or persons, or corporations the
labor of any convict confined within
said institution"
Following this quotation the opinion
states:
The substance Of this provision and
it's evident object is to prohibit the LETT
ting upon contract, by the commission
ers of the penal institutions Of this
state, of the labor of convicts confined
in said institutions, and the said object
to be effected prevents such labor from
being put in competition with free labor
sands thereby decreasing it's cOmpensa-
ton and the market value of its prod
ucts.
"The agreement under consideration
in its general features is but an ordi-
nary contract for services. Instead Of
providing for the payment of wage by
the day, it provides that the wages of
the persons contracted by the corpora
tons shall be paid upon the basis of the
number and character of articles manu-
featured by such convicts."
After quoting the contract for the la
Dor at the penal institutions Judge
Hamlin says 1t will be noticed that the
contract provides for the purchase" of
labor, and 1t also provides that the
basis upon which compensation Is to be
paiO SIlall dulOuuI " etI ASaSt Nv SSAAs'
per day for each convict employed.
In this connection the opinion says:
1.-THE last sentence of this quotation
provides that nothing herein shall be
construed as a letting by contract OF the
labor of such prisoners From the sec
tons quoted however, 1t is perfectly
plain that there is contract for the
labor OF prisoners. and that the mimi
mum wage provided by that contract is
so cents per day for each person em-
ployed. The eighth paragraph also re-
ferred to provides time when the cor
porations shall pay the state for the la
Dor of thes convicts. and that upon fall
ure to do so, the contract may be ter
minated by the commissioners Of the
nanifantiary"

MRS. NATION IMPOSED ON.
Reformer as Central Figure Of Picture
of 1acchanalian Revei.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 8.-A joke
which the Yale students played on Mrs.
Carrie Nation during her sojourn at
Yale has just come to light. A party
of Yale seniors induced Mrs. Nation to
sit with them for her portrait. After
much persuasion she consented to hold
aloft in her right hand glass Of pure
water. The students clustered around
her, each holding a glass of water.
The lights were turned low for a flash
and in the darkness the students pros
duccd cigarets and arranged them
selves in variety of positions portray
ing different stages of intoxication.
Meanwhile Mrs. Nation, suspecting no
wrong. had her eyes on the lens of
the camera, which was manipulated by
q student photographer.
In the negative the glasses were made
to appear running over With beer. and
the picture represents Mrs. Nation as
the central figure OF Bacchanalian
scene.
The students are now busy suppress
ing the pictures. which are being eager
