FREE ADVICE TO WOMEN.
Makes ArtItlelaI rhunder.

Prof, John Trowbrldge of Harvard
University says that some recent ex.
periments he has made IN the Jeffer.
son Physical laboratory show that
"the astounding noise of lighs1ins
discharge is largely due to the disso
citation of water vapor," through the
explosion of the hyrogen and oxygen
gases produced by such dissocIation
In his mimic lightning experiments
Prof. Trowbridge produced torrent
of huge electric sparks. The noise Of
the discharge was SO great that the
operator had to stop his ears with cot
ton and then wrap heavy cloth
around them.

A woman in society is obliged to keep
late hours She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldom allows herself a
quiet evening at home. Her whole time
is taken up in keeping engagements or en-
tertaiping in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as a consequence. She soon finds
herself in condition known as systemic
catarrh. This has also been called ca
tarrhal nervousness.
II every society woman could know the
value Of Peruna at such time, ii they
could realize the invigoratng, strengthen
ing effect that Peruna would have, how
much misery could be avoided.
Letters from society women all over the
United States testify to the fact that Pc.
runa is the tonic for run down, depleted
nervous system.

in Liao Yang. The Greeks have
brought us German. Danish and Jap

The food at the hotels is inferior,
but nothing is iacking-not even bill

heavy rains are accompanied by trop-
ical heat. Sunstrokes and heatstrokes
are frequent. and often produce heart
paralysis.
1t is impossible to drink water
from the streams, and the troops de-
pend upon the hot tea with which
they are supplied. The vegetables to
be obtained, and especially the Chi
nese cucumbers. are most harmful,
but our soldiers eat them. even ON

is Manchurian dirt. Exposed to the

brave soldiers perish who are other

the committee conferred Nuzum with
the power to choose his own secre-

ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. Polar
rowing descriptions of the effects of
the heavy rains, the deep mud, and
tropical heat, and the consumption
of unripe fruits on the health of the
Russian soldiers around Lao Yang
are published by the st. Petersburg
papers. One correspondent telegraphs:
A roaring torrent of yellow waves is
rolling down the Lao Yang mountain
streams, which have flooded the sur
rounding country, and in order to
reach the second Russian position one
has to cross them 10 times. The
Cossacks ford the streams on their
horses, whose launches are covered
by the water, while foot soldiers un-
dress and raise their rifles above
their heads. Battalions of our troops
climb hills thus wet to the marrow
and jaded. Carts, guns and two
wheeled vehicles conveying ammuni-

BY debating the appointment Of
the board Of collaboration William
II. Cowles stole from the taxpayers
of Spokane county taxes on the sum
of $2S,375. How much of this
money went to members of the board
of collaboration and how much went
into the pockets of William H..
Cowles?
To illustrate how fragrant the steal
is are given herewith a few figures:
Some months ago representatives
of a syndicate offered william H.
Cowles a certified check for $3.50. 0.o0e
as purchase price for the Spokes-
man-Review. Although tentatively
accepting the proposition before the
check was produced, Mr.. Cowles rails
ed the sale price Of the Review to
$500 900. Not a newspaper publisher
in the country would value the
Spokesman-Review at less than $780,
900. Not one would value the Chron-
icle plant at less than 100000.
The Spokane Press is assessed at
s29s5. The Spokane Chronicle was
assessed at s3770.
Yesterday the Chronicle printed an
edition of 20 pages. The Press print
ed four pages.
1t requires plant practically seven
times as large to print 20-page
paper as against a four-page paper
1t requires from five to seven times
the amount of type and from five to
seven times the amount Of machinery.
The difference between the assess
