The real heroines of every day are in our homes. Frequently. how.
ever, it is a mistaken and useless heroism.
Women seem to listen to every call of duty except the supreme
one that tells them to guard their health. How much harder the daily
tasks become when some arrangement of the female organs makes
every, movement painful and keeps the nervous system mstrung?
nIltaol.ty takes the place of happiness and amiabIity; and weakness
suffering takes the place of health and strength. As long al they
can an. drag themselves eqI5y around n women continue to work and perform
is necessary because they are women. What a mistake!
The use of Lydia L. PinkhaE1s Vegetable Compound will Danish
pain and restore happiness. Don't resort to strong stimulants o. mar
cotics when this great strengthening, healing remedy for women is
always within reach.

OF Senators Mann Walker and Anderson.
and Delegates Cation, Davis and Boaz.
will meet in this city June Sd. and will
then go to work. The work OF revision
will be divided among the members Of

be spent In this city. after which the
will divide into subcommittee.
Messrs. Walker, 13oaz and Anderson will
probably go to Wytheville. and there
work together: Senator Mann and Delo-
gate Davis, both of whom live in Peters
burg will work there together. and Dele
gate Cation will work alone at Alexandria,
where he will also attend to his law
practice.
Judge Mann stated yesterday that the
new Code would not be published for sew
eral years yet. 1t would take some time
to perfect the statutes and get them In
accurate and permanent shape, and It
would be useless to publish them until
this had been done.

leader Of the minority. Yesterday one
OF the Democrats in bidding Mr.. Heer-

see him back and then rejecting that he
was Republican. he added I'm Novcm-
