Letters from
Women

Cured by the use of Kodol are received daily.
Their troubles nearly all begin with indiges-
ton or other stomach disorder.
If the food you eat fails to give strength
to your body, it is because the juices Sc
creted by the stomach and digestive organs
are inadequate to transform the nutrient prop
critics of the food into blood. That is
indigestion. The system is deprived of the
amount of nourishment required to keep up
the strength, and the result is that one or
more of the delicate organs gradually grows
weak and then weaker, until finally it is
diseased. Here a great mistake is made.
That of treating the diseased organ. The
best doctors in the land make this very
mistake. Why should they ? 1t is so easy
to see that the trouble is not there.

CITY OF JAIPUR.

From the st. James Gazette

From the st. James Gazette.
India Is the land OF picturesque cities,
but 1t is universally conceded that Jaipur-
the Jeypore Of our old-fashloned geographi-
cal books-is the most beautiful of them
all. 1t is the metropolis of the state of
the same name. this being one of the tribu-
tary native provinces in the important ter
ritory OF Rajputana. The name of Rajpu-
tana is famous throughout India 1t repre-
sents a magnificent cluster of states lying
in the northwest. between Punjab and the
central states. Each Of these twenty Raj
put states enjoys its own autonomy with
a separate chief, together with a British
resident.
The state OF Jaipur covers an area of
nearly 15.OO0 square miles. Though its name
conveys little meaning to the average En-
giishman. it is quite as important a dis
trict as Wales, Holland. Belgium or Rou-
mania The population now reaches about
100000 OF these some are pure Rajputs
of the old dominant caste; others are Of
various inferior castles; some are Moham-
medans; and some belong to the curious
Jain sect. whose shrines are usually placed
on the crests Of the highest hills, and who
form a very wealthy and influential part
of the community.
Native civilization In India is at its very
best in Jaipur. That city is the commercial
capital and banking center for ali the Raj
put states. Most Of the exchange for the
whole OF the great RaJputana province is
transacted here. The lovely city fs one OF
India's most exquisite show places which
astonishes every visitor by its superlative
beauty. but 1t Is a veritable hive OF indus

Durlns the afternoon men gathered on

question as to who did the lynching-
whether they were Loudoun or Fairfax peo-
ple-was subject of disputation, Most of
them live in Loudoun county It was claim

OF them had come from Fairfax.
There was no disposition on the part of

here for safe keeping

one or the business men of the town after

With each bang of the heavy hammer
against the steel door the prisoners, with
the exception of Craven. showed increased
excitement. Craven paced the floor of the

He was willing to give himself up to the
men who were in the jail, as, indeed there
was nothing else for him to do. but he could
not get out until an opening had been made
The keys to the cell room, the lynchers

No sooner was he out of the cage than the
moose was thrown over his head and drawn
about his neck. but not tight enough to
choke him. Cheer after cheer went up when

Long of this city, who dropped from sight July $ last 300 feet from his fathers door. Two legacies of $lO.- OoO each await the boy, but in spite Of wide publicity even these have failed to bring him to light.
 On Sunday, July 6, young Long was sent on an errand. His father saw him round a bend in the road a hundred yards away. Not a person can be found who saw him after that. The boys course lay through deep, wood ed ravine. None of the group of fami- lies living beyond saw him emerge.
 Police, hospitals, army and navy re cruiting stations and transportation companies throughout the country have been notified of the disappear ance, but have not found the boy. The boy was of quiet, studieus habits and fond of his home. He was not one likely to run away. He had with him a gold watch and about S10 in money.
 The father is broken hearted and be- ginning to break down under the sus- pense. He refuses to use the boy s money except as a last resort, and is endSavoring to mortgage his home ta raise fundstfo further search
