essential to the practical

GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debih-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women

At 1922 p. m. the small fiotillas swung

Russian fleet, now in the rear of point
five miles outside the entrance to Port

The Russian fleet was confused, and it
was impossible for it to retreat quickly

three weeks, w. w. Draper died
Sunday evening at his home on
east Main street. He was taken
sick some three weeks ago and
went to Texarkana, Texas, to
have an operation performed,
but the surgeon there found that
he was not strong enough to stand
the operation and advised that he
return home until he could grow
stronger.
He returned home and took
treatment for fever, which seemed
to be getting better when a blad-
der trouble set up. from which
he died.
The deceased was about 80
years of age, was born and reared

the body was shipped for burial.
He leaves wife, one brother and

That is the record, but an operator

to put the shoe through three or
four machines to make the complet-
ed buttonhole, one to cut the leath-
er, another to stitch the sides and
another to tie the ends, but all this
is done by one machine now. The
old style machines required the OPP
orator to walk around the machine
for each buttonhole made, but the
new way is to have the machine do
the walking around, sewing entirely
around the hole without making
