Unnatural Women.

1t Is the great misfortune OF
many of the sufferers from woman
ly diseases that they have accepted
the idea that diseases are part OF
woman's natural heritage. The
reason for this wide acceptance Of
womanly suffering as natur'
al and necessary is two
fold. On the one hand the
number of women who suffer is so
great that the woman who Is ex'
empt from wornanly weakness
seems to be an anomaly, a contra
diction. On the other hand the gen
eral failure of local practitioners to
effect cure OF womanly diseases
leads to. their acceptance as incur
able.
The first thing that woman
needs to realize Is that womanly dl'
sease Is unnatural and In general
unnecessary. Ii would be as rea-
sonable to suppose that the natural
type of man was dwarted, misshap-
en-, crippled and deformed, as 20
suppose that the natural condition
Of woman was one of misery and
suffering. Disease Is unnatural
Where there Is one woman VINO
stands free from the diseases which
50 commonly affllct her sex, she Is
the standard of natural waHian-
hood. Every woman should try to
be like her. Almost all women
could be Ike her If they used the
right means.
The proof of this statement lies
In the fact that DR.. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription has lifted hundreds
of thousands of weak and sick
women to the plane OF perfect
health. 1t has cured chronic dis
eases of years standing; cured when
all hope OF cure had PISSED and
physicians had said there was no
cure. Irregularity, facilitating
drains, lnfammations. u ceration
and female weakness have all yield
ed to "Favorite Prescription" and
been perfectly and permanently
cured.
No woman, however serious her
condition, should neglect 10 attempt
a cure Of her disease by the use OF
"Favorite Prescription" DR.. Pierce

pecially those suffering from
chronic forms of disease, to consult
him by letter, free aAll correspon-
dence Is held as strictly private and

heavy rains started 1t Saturday

Some three ur four houses have
been moved slightly from their
foundations and a few of them have
been vacated by the occupants. A
few of the gas and water connec-
tons have been broken by the force
ot:the earth, which has caused the
families much Inconvenience and
suffering The landslide has been
greatly checked this afternoon by
the cold weather; and In all
probability no further damage
will result for the present. The
houses that are endangered are all

Mrs Louis Markison of this place had been
sick woman for quite a long time and could
not find anything to give her any help. She
suffered all the painful symptoms Of what
is generally known as, female weakness.
Every woman who reads her story will under
stand these distressing conditions which
combine to make the lives of many women
one long burden of weakness and, suffering.
Mrs. Markison CHANGED one day to hear
of new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
that was said to be splendid medicine for
women's weakness. She determined to try
some and soon found herself getting better.
She kept on with the pills and was cured.
Speaking of her case Mrs. Markison says:;--,

as remedy for female weakness. They are
the best medicine have ever known, and
have done me great deal of good"

on the Judge.

John R. Eldridge, well known western
New York attorney, recently had occasion
TO argue a case before justice of the peace
an one of the small towns near Rochester.
1t happened that Mr.. Eldridge and the
justice belonged to different political parties,
had been opposed to each other in several
contests and were far from being on the best
personal terms. Each, to use a slang express
sion, chad it in for the other" The justice
scored the first point, says the New York
Herald.
In field near the court room a donkey
was feeding. just as Mr.. Eldridge was in
the midst of his plea something disturbed
the animal and it broke forth with a resonant
bray.

nothing and waited his turn. 1t came when

HOW POLICE ARE scHooLED.
Chiefs and sheriRs Visiting Chicago
Are Taught Methods of the
City Crooks.

The Chicago police department As an
educational institution is the Chicago
police department in new light.
Yet the police force has a school Of
its own about which few people have
ever heard and to which no Chicago
man can get admittance, says the Trib-
une.
1t is conducted solely for the benefit Of
chiefs of police and sheriffs in small
towns.
The students have to come to Chicago
to receive instruction and they have to
pay all their expenses while here.
But the city of Chicago, which is
nothing If not generous, does not ask a
penny from its students.
They are welcome to absorb all the
education they can, and the better they
get along the better the city of Chicago
is satisfied.
Chief of Police O'Neill is the head pro-
fessor in this postgraduate school
which the city maintains for the benefit
of its out of town friends.
The school has only one building,
and it shares that with two courtrooms,
big cellroom, squadroom, and offices
of an inspector, lieutenant and SER
geant of police. This building is the
Harrison street police station, and the
educational work goes on in the rogues'
gallery on the second floor.
If the city was in the business OF sup
plying education and getting money in
return 1t could advertise in perfect truth
'the school building is situated most ad-
vantageously. 1t is just across the street
from the new Lake Shore station"
The course of instruction Is eclectic.
The rural sheriff or chief Of police, in
pursuance of a general invitation is
sued by Chief O'Neill few weeks ago,
comes to Chicago.
He meets the chief and is by him in
PRODUCED to Capt Evans, who is in
charge of the rogues' gallery.
The chief and the captain and the
chiefs secretary, James Markham, then
go into executive session as members of
the faculty.
They tell the visiting student all they
know about the Bertillon system of
measurements. They illustrate their
lectures with photographs Of criminals.
They invite the student to study the po-
lice departments educational bulletin,
which is issued every day and which is
given up to descriptions of crimes and
criminals, which it is to the benefit of
any policeman to know.
Then the visitor is introduced to the
shrewdest detectives in the department
and is filled with more lore.
The result is that although the coul 50
has not cost the city of Chicago a cent,
it has increased the efficiency of the Chi.
cago police department many fold.
The next Chicago criminal that fees
from justice into the bailiwick of the
graduate of the Chicago police school
will find that the chief of police or the
sheriff there has his record, knows all
about him and his habits, and can arrest
him with ridiculous ease.
