is fair and reasonable trial of their
means Of cure.
There is every reason why women
should not trust their delicate constitu-
tons in the hands of unski1led persons.
1t requires thorough medical education
to appreciate and understand the wonl-
anly organism. When woman has ills
and pains that she cannot bear--when
life seems dark for any woman, she
should confide her troubles to physi-
clan Of standing in the community, or
one who has national reputation. Ger
tainly it would not be the part of wisdom
to confde in an ignorant person without
medical education simply because she
was uoman. There is every reason
why she should write to some great
specialist, one who has made the dis
eases of women speciality for third Of
century, like DR.. SR.V. Pierce, founder
OF the Invalids Hotel and Surgical
Institute, of Buffalo N. Y. All cor
respondence is held sacredly confden-
tiai, and he gives his advice free and

A meeting Of citizens of Lamar will
be held at the Commercial Club room on
next Saturday evening to discuss the
proposition OF building the new high
line canal south Of Lamar to water the
large body OF fine land that lays south
Of town and is Mt present only good for
grazing purposes. Hon. II. G. Henry, Of
Denver, who has undertaken the task Of
interesting capital in the enterprise will
be present and address the meeting, CIV
ing his views with regard to the con-
struction Of the ditch. The canal is to
be constructed under the new law max
ing it possible to establish irrigation
districts and vote bonds for the purpose
OF building ditch to carry water to the
lands ia proposed district. Tho prop
osition includes the building OF one Of
the largest reservoirs in the world to
store the surplus waters OF the Purga-
toire river, which have been sufficient
every season for 9. dozen years past to
irrigate all the vast area under the pro-
posed ditch that is now idle and useless.
The site of the proposed reservoir has
been filed on by Mr.. Henry's company
and is therefore available for the enter
prise. 1t has been pronounced by gov
ernment experts to be one Of the finest
and most available natural reservoir
sites in the entire country. The build
ing of this ditch means the increasing
of irrigable area tributary to Lamar by
over so per cent. and the furnishing of
homes for hundreds OF families who are
unable to pay the high prices for land
now prevailing in many Of the irrigated
sections. An enterprise such as this
proposed one deserves at least the atten-
tion of every one of our citizens and
they should turn out to the meeting on
Saturday to hear what the promoters
Of the ditch have to say about it. The
building Of this ditch will in no wise In
terfere with the established bitches
which are now drawing water from the
Arkansas river below the mouth Of the
Purgatoire, as it is only proposed to
store the surplus waters Of the great
floods which have heretofore done such
great damage all along the linein fl ood
season. The enterprise has been pro-
nounced feasible by many OF the most ex-
perienced irrigation men in the valley
and should look very good to citizen
Of Lamar. The meeting opens at 8
o'clock, everybody invited.
