MISS LIZZIE SNEkTHING
Or. Hartman, the Famous GYn9ceIs-
qist and Inveuter Of Pe-ru-na Of
fers to Treat Wemen 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 Tar the
greatest number of female troubles are
caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh de-
spair of recovery. Female trouble IS 50
common, 80 prevalent, that they accept
it as almost Inevitable. The greatest OBJ
stacIe 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 mine cases out OF enc
hundred are nothing but catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh wherever located.

ceived:

NEW BATTlESHlPs.
What the Louisiana and Connecticut
Will Re Like,

Will ne Like
WASHINGTON, July 26.--The circu.
lars for the two new battleships, the
Connecticut and Louisiana, have been
issued by the navy department. Plans
will be ready Aug. l, when the adver-
tisemcnt for bids for the Louisiana
will be published. The Connecticut
will be built in the New York navy
yard. The bids will be opened about
Oct l. The maximum time for con-
struction Of the Louisiana is forty-two
months. For any delay beyond the
contract time the builders are to for
felt $500 per day for the first month
and $500 day thereafter. In consider
ing bids preference will be given TO
the bidder who offers to construct the
ship in the shortest time. The speed Of
the ship is to be eighteen knots: If it
falls below that limit, $4,000 is to be
deducted from the contract price for
each quarter knot down to seventeen
knots and 100000 for each quarter
knot below the latter figure down to
sixteen and a half knots. If the ship
fails to make sixteen and half knots,
the secretary of the navy can reject
her in his discretion.
III Il general way it can be said that
the Louisiana and the Connecticut will
be of the same type us the battleships
Georgia and New Jersey. They will
measure 40 feet on the load line and
will have an extreme width Of &c feet
10 inches. The mean draft will be "a
feet j inches and coaling capacity 200
tons. The main batteries will consist
of four l. inch, eight inch and twelve
Z inch guns, with secondary battery
Of twenty 3 inch rapid fire guns and
some smaller semiautomatc guns.
