We suppose all the women who
take care of family and do their
own work are pretty tired come
night, but we are specially sorry.for
those who don't feel rested in the
morning.

seems an awful burden"

said our clerk. "Our folks at
home use it. We have such faith
in it that we will pay the money
back if it doesn't help you"
She took a bottle of Vinol home,
and has sinceboughtanother bottle.
Vinol was sold last year on the
same guarantee. How many ere
funds /" were there, do you think J
Less than two per cent.
In other words, Vinol did sue
cessful work in ninety-eight cases
out of one hundred.
For two great classes, those
who can't seem to gain strength
and those who are tired at nothing,
we say: CRY Vinol on our guar.

For weak women, nursing moth

we have found nothing to equal

NEED OF A NATIONAL DIVORCE LAW.
MANY COMPLICATIONS CAUSED BY THE VARYING
STATUTES OF DIFFERENT STATES.

/ can't set a divorce for a whole year Isn't IT
dreadful
similar in the courts of this State a
few weeks ago when a prizehghter of national
reputation sought to obtain divorce from his
wife. from whom he had been already divorced
three successive times. Alter each divorce they
had been remarked after a spectacular scene in
court. and after each reunion they had sworn to
love and honor each other to the end of thei7
lives. In the last turn OF the matrimonial kaleido-
scope. ii the husband who sought a divorce
from his wife. In the divorce which proceeded this
last suit il was the wife who obtained a divorce
from her husband. At the time she obtained the
decree OF an absolute divorce the przefghter
running sporting place in the city Of London
and the wife roadhouse near Saratoga which
bore his name.
Whatever may be the records for constructive
divorces and remarriages in New-York and Illinois,
the State II Indiana boasts Of beating them all.
In the Hoosier State wife recently sued for d.
Vorce on the ground that her husband had been
married nineteen times before she became his
wife. The husband in a cross-su!t for divorce
charged his wife with having married fourteen
husbands before she met him. Thirteen of the
husbands were alive. he said. and eight OF the
fourier lived In Mercer County. Ohio: six in How
ard County. Ind. and five in the Indiana town OF
kokomo. The last name OF the wife was Mrs
Henry Pohiman. and some OF her former names
were Mrs. James Mcclure, Mrs. Thomas Mcvety
Mrs Thomas Fades. Mrs John Tyler and Mrs
Tyler and Johnson all lived in Indiana
The WIFE however. charged Henry Pohlman with
a longer record than her She says that he
married and divorced woman fourteen times
When she went to the altar with him. she believed
that she was only Mrs Pohlman sth. Great
her chag-in when she learned that she was Mrs
Pohman 20th.
When she asked il she had married as many
times her last husband had charged her with
doing, she replied
4 married all the men whose names are men
toned as living In Indiana. but l married only one
Ohio man. Ohio make good Presidents but
poor husbands"
Mr.. Pohlman has mis- ideas on matrimony
and in speaking OF his experiences as a husband
he said:

I learn dat five husbants vas living alretty
yet. und right IN dis county, trows up my hants

The record price for CaIffornia-st. realty was

ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE.
The Reelection of Schmitz Sur
prise-Plenty of Graft. .

San Francisco. Nov 6.-That Mayor Schnitz
reelected by $685. plurality a surprise,
because the general public believed that there
was a heavy detection IN the union labor ranks.
The result showed that this discomfort in the
party which first placed the Mayor in power
more noise than real that nine-tenths OF
the labor vote was cast for Schmtz His large
plurality also proved that several thousand Re-
publicans. who helped the Mayor into power two
years ago voted for him again. Much of his
success at the polls due to the shrewdness
and executive ability of ABE Ruef. his hench-
man and hacker. Ruef Is an able and cunning
lawyer who in a short time has proved that he
has genius for machine politics in big city.
He has so organized all the worst elements in
the city that they worked unit for the re-
turn OF the Mayor to power. All the saloon
keepers, gamblers divekeepers and managers of
disreputable houses were most active workers
for Schmitz, as they knew that If they made
proper contributions, they would not be mol
ested. What is more important, they able
TO see the Mayor Boss" Ruef personally. a
favor which was not granted to them in any
previous administration. The Saloonkeepers'
Association was one of the powers in this cam
paign as it succeeded in electing all its candi-
dates for supervisors, who would not have
had ghost of chance without this united
support. Mr.. Croker made a good campaign
and received a handsome vote. but his defeat
was sure when the union labor vote was cast
practically solid for the present Mayor. Mr..
Lane never had any show. and was simply
forced into the fight by the Democratic leaders.
After the election he made the curious state
ment that he knew he could not win when he
accepted the nomination Had he refused TO
rum and had the contest been a straightout
fight between Mr.. Croker and Schmitz. Croker
would have won.
