Save Our Young Women
Thousands EmpIOyed In Our Large De-
partm3nt Stores and Public Offices
Are Now Weak and Sticky.
Tell Them Of
Paine's CeIery
Compound
W0man's UntaiIIng Regulator and
Health GiVer,

In the mammoth departmental stores
and large public offices of our leading
cities there are thousands of young
women employed. From the morning
opening hour till these vast hives of
trade close at night these young wom-
en- are eXpending their energy and
strength in serving their masters and
a critical public. Long hours, close
confinement, imperfect ventilation, ex-
citement and brain worry soon leave
ness. Headache, sleeplessness, indi-
gestion, constipation, neuralgia, rheu-
matism and nervousness make the
lives of young women miserable and
almost unbearable. In thousands Of
cases the traces of terrible blood trou-
bleS are seen in the faces of those who
should look comedy and attractive.
To the class of suffering young WOm-
en- just referred to we would say that
Paine's Celery Compound is a blessed
agent of health and womanly vitality.
This medicine is a positive and true
nerve food and system cleanser. 1t
corrects any tendency to constipation;
it tones the stomach, keeps digestion
perfect, the brain feels the strengthen
ing effects of the superb nutrition II
affords, natural and refreshing sleep
takes the place of insomnia, and the
rose blush is brought to the pale face.
We urge upon all sickly and weak
young women the necessity of Paine
Celery Compound for their peculiar
ailments. 1t has made thousands
strong; it will give you the same hap
by results.

OVER A QUARTER TON OF GIRL.
Eleven Year Miss of Iowa Said to Have
Been Kidnapped.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 2-Joseph Ram
DO, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, today
charged that Isaac w. Miner, a well
known citizen, has kidnapped his
daughter Pearl, and called upon the
authorities to take steps Immediately
looking to her return to the home of
her distracted father The case is re-
garded as rather amusing as we'll as
tragic from the circumstance that
Miss Rambo, who is only eleven years
of age, tips the beam at 500 pounds,
while the gentleman charged with her
abduction is of very diminutive physi-
cal proportions, being less than five
feet in height and weighing scarcely
100 pounds.
Rambo is of the opinion that Miner
has spirited his daughter South to
make fortune by exhibiting her as a
twentieth century wonder, and that
unless the authorities institute diligent
search for her and bring her home to
him he will never see her more. The
other day he got word indirectly that
Miner was with the girl down in Ala
bama, but he has not heard from his
daughter herself in a long While, it be-
ing a physical impossibility for her to
write on account of the great amount
of SuperfluOuS flesh she carries.
Rambo says that, if necessary, he
himself will start out to find his daugh-
ter, though he can i'll afford the eX-
pense of-conducting the search on his
own account

LET'S BANKER EASToN OUT.
Iowa Supreme Court Reversed by the
Highest Tribunal.

Highest Tribunal.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. q
The case of Easton VS.. The State of
Iowa was decided by the United
States supreme court today, in favor of
Easton, thus reversing the supreme
court of the state. The case involved
the applicability of state laws regulat-
ing state banks to national banks.
Easton was president of national
bank at DEBORAH, and he was sentenced
to five years in prison, under the state
law for accepting a deposit of 500
when he knew his bank to be insolvent.
The decision was delivered by Justice
Shiras, who said that state laws for
the regulation of state banks do not
extend to banks incorporated under an
act of congress.
Announcing the conclusions of the
court, which he said were based upon
principles and authority, Justice Shi-
raS said:
Congress, having power to create a
system of national banks, is the judge
as to the powers which should be con-
ferred upon such banks, and has the
sole power to regulate and control the
exercise of their operations. Congress
has directly dwelt with the question of
insolvency of such banks by giving
control to the secretary of the treas
ury and the comptroller of the curren-
cy, who are authorized to suspend the
operations Of the banks and appoint
receivers thereof when they become
insOlvent, or when they fail to make
good any impairment of capital, that
full and adequate revisions have been
made for the protection of cereditors
of such institutions by requiring fire.
quent reports to be made of their con-
dition, and by the power of visitation
by federal officers. 1t is not competent
for state legislatures to interfere,
whether with hostile or friendly inten-
lions, with national banks or their Of
ficers in the exercise of the powers be-
slowed on them by the general gov
eminent.
Undoubtedly a state has the legiti-
mate power to define and punish
crimes by general laws applicable to
all persons within its Jurisdiction. So,
likewise, it may declare by special
laws certain acts to be criminal Of
lenses when committed by officers or
agents of it's own banks and institu-
lions. But it is without lawful power
to make such special laws applica-
bic to banks organized and operating
under the laws of the United States"
