SOMETHING EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW,
Are You the One Woman NegIectlug a
Mothers or a Wlfe's Duty, or Are
There Countless Thousands.

| Many women formerly full OF robust vigor
with clear compilations and bright, vivacious
| spirits find themselves slowly losing their good
looks and strength, fading under the influence
OF an unknown cause, ignorant of their real
condition. Just when woman should be at
her best she becomes depressed, fretful, nerv-
Gus. And whys You ask. She has been SO
busy planning, has been so absorbed with
her social duties, her work has been so
continuous, that she scarcely allowed herself
o moments relaxation. She has neglected
her health and, where her food formerly
seemed to nourish, now she has but little sppe-
tite and even what she does eat does not seem
to do any good. II you should ask her what
the trouble Is, she would say, al am just
tired cut" But the real cause is constipation
and its resulting condition-bad blood. Just
think what habitual neglect of the bowels
means, sickness instead Of good health; ner-
vousness instead Of vigor; cheerfulness re-
placed BY depression, happiness by misery.
weeks use Of Smiths Pineapple and But
ternut Pills in these cases will work wonders.
They will regulate the functions of the liver
and bowels, Immediately unload the conges-
ton, cure the constipation and cleanse the
blood OF impurities. 1t 10 pitiable to see
women with no color in their cheeks, without
ambition, always tired, with the exuberance
and vivacity OF youth sapped as by some
dreaded vampire, just because nature has
been neglected, the bowels have ecome slug
gish and poisonous elements have been alb
sorbed into the blood. Keep the bowels reg
ular by using Smiths Pineapple and Butfernut
Pills. Never allow constipation or a TORPID
liver to develop. A stitch in time will save
mountains of misery, of bad feelings and de-
preston. These little pills are wonderful
health givers. They are Natures true laxa-
tive and positive cure for sick headache, |
and biliousness in one night. Is |
cents at all dealers.

No new developments have come to
light in regard to the attempted Jail
delivery Tuesday beyond the fact
that the ringleaders were well sup
piled with putty and lamp black with
which to cover up all traces of their
work with the saws. but how these
articles were obtained still remains a
mystery. but were evidently snug
gled in hy Henry Hill, whose ability
to break Jail is unquestioned. 1t is
very likely that the grand jury will
bring in an Indictment against the
prisoners implicated for attempting TO
break Jail. and they viii no doubt re-
ceive sentences which will give them
plenty Of opportunity to study out a
more feasible plan of regaining their

JACKSON. Ky, May 2S.--There

most a panic among the troops as
well as the people. An attack was
made ON the jail and repulsed. Hun
dreds of shots were fired during the
night. 1t is impossible to get reports
of the attack on the county jail last
night. when mob OF hundreds
charged on the jail, where Curtis Jett
and Tom White are held for the MUIR
der Of ]. b. Marcu. 1t Is not denied,
however, that there was an organized
effort on the part OF the feudists to
take Jett and White out Of the jail.
Some say the object was to lynch
them and some that the purpose was
to rescue the prisoners. Nothing can
be ascartained this morning as to the
results, the casualties OF anything.
and there is such a reign OF terror as
to prevent the securing Of news or its
transmission.
