A PERIL OF HER SEX.
HOW A KENTUCKY WOMAN MET
A CRISIS IN HEB LIFE.
Adopts ResoIute Course and Escapes
From Troubles Which Had
Made Her Wretched for
Two Years.

The experience of Mrs. D. c. We'd
ding of Hartford, Kentucky, is of
value to every woman, as it will point
out a certain means of escape from a
distressing situation to which time
must inevitably bring her Concern
ing the difficulties which she encoun-
tered at the change of life, Mrs. We'd
ding says:
reached the turn of life, 1 was serious
ly i'll and was confined to my bed for
six or eight months in all, during the
two years following I had chilIs
fever, rheumatism. My stomach seem
ed always too full, my kidneys did not
act freely, my liver was inactive, my
heart beat was very weak and I had
dizziness or swimming in my head and
nervous troubles.
IT was under the treatment of sew
eral prominent physicians but they all
failed to do me any good.
After suffering for two years
learned from an Arkansas friend
about the merits of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and I de-
cided that I would try them. The
very first box I took made me feel bet
ter and when I had taken four boxes
more 1 was entirely well, weighed
fifteen pounds more than when I be-
gan, resumed my household duties
and have since continued in the best
of health.
Il have recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills to many people on the
basis of what they did for me. and I
feel that I cannot praise them too
strongly"
This wonderful blood tonic is a per-
feet regulator of a woman's system. 1t
banishes nervousness, headaches, dir
illness, depression of spirits, and car
ries safely through all the physical
crises peculiar to the female sex. 1t
is sold by all druggists throughout the
world.

PENNsYLvANIA's PLAN.

Wants to Reduce Operating Expenses
to the Level of 1902.
The retrenchment policy is being
pursued by the Pennsylvania manage
ment along the lines proposed some
months ago, and the effect will be
shown to some extent in the statement
for May but more notably in the re-
port of operations for the current
month. The necessity for reducing
expenditures, wherever it can be done
without prejudice to the business of
the road or the maintenance of a high
standard of efficiency, is still being
impressed upon heads of departments
and minor officials with satisfactory
results.
The keynote of the policy seems to
be that. in view of the increased eff
cheney of the system, it should be
possible to bring the principal items
of operating expense back to the level
of 1902, even should the volume of
business hold considerably above that
years level. To bring this about shop
forces were cut down, construction
gangs largely reduced, and now train
crews are being rearranged. This does
not mean that a large number of
train hands are being discharged, for,
as a matter of fact. no train men are
being entirely dropped from the com
pany's service. What is taking place
is that where four crews can handle
the business heretofore handled by
five the reduction is made and the
juniors are again, temporarily, put
back on the extra list.

by the most direct route from Louis
VILE to San Francisco.
AS usual, ticket scalpers will reap the
greatest benefit from the cutting of
rates. Despite the fact that blanket in
functions have been issued against the
scalpers at st. Louis, Kansas City and
scalpers have made arrangements with
the railroads to have tickets exchang-
ed in such a manner as to relieve the
scalpers from liability to punishment
for violation of the injunctions of the
courts.
Although the scalpers here, at St.
Louis, and Kansas City have been do
ing an unusual amount of business
since the St. Louis fair opened, not 4
single effort has been made by the rail-
roads to convict them of violating in
functions against them.
THE plain truth is that the attend
ance at the great st. Louis fair has
been much less than was expected, and
railroads terminating there are max
ing desperate efforts to attract people
to St. Louis, said a. western general
passenger agent. They have adopted
policy of making rates which will
pull all business going north, south
east or west down to st. Louis.
THE result is the routing of traffic
by most unnatural routes at the low
est rates by the direct lines from all
points. The result is that rates
throughout the country are now in a
chaotic condition and matters will go
from bad to worse until the st. Louis
fair Closes

RATES cur TO PIECES.
Railroads Using Extreme Measures to
Boom EXPOSITION Attendance.

A1OOlA I1A llAlSAAAOH AlLen1aICG.
Chicago. June 1S.-From present indi-
cations there will be a general demOr-
alization of passenger rates because of
the St Louis fair until the fair ends.
Officials of other roads say that the
lines terminating in St. Louis have re-
sorted to the most extreme measures
to increase the attendance at the fair.
The St Louis lines have told their con-
nections that they win share in any re-
duced rate that will result in a passen-
der normal rate conditions, would
choose . direct route and not pass
through st. Louis.
The present rate situation is illustra-
ted by the sale by several roads of
tickets from st. Paul to st. Louis and
return, via Kansas City. at the rate
of $3.50 for the round trip the tickets
having a return limit of Is days.
The regular rate from st. Paul to
Kansas City is $14.15 and from Kansas
City to st. Louis is $780, or a total of
S2l65 one way and $3.50 for the round
trip. The normal round trip rate, there
fore, is $24.10 more than the rate for
which some of the roads today are sell
ing tickets from St Paul to St. Louis
and return, via Kansas City.
Another illustration of rate cutting
being done in order to increase the t
tendance at the fair is found in the
fact that round trip tickets from points
IN Texas to Colorado are being sold via
St Louis at the lowest rates made by
the direct lines from Texas to COlora-
do. This is equivalent to selling a man
who wants to go from Louisville to
San Francisco a ticket good via New
York at less than half the normal rate

Santa Fe Runs Ocean Beach Excur-
siOns for Its StocIade WOrI1men.
The San Ear,,nrairo rr,ir,,oe- Index

The San Bernardino Times-Index
says:
The strikebreakers employed in the
iron working departments at the shops
swooped down on Oceanside Sunday
morning early and all day enjoyed a
frolic on the beach and about the town
at the expense of the company.
Some of the men had been imprisoned
like hens in a coop for weeks and the
fun which they crowded into the num-
Der of hours at the beach beat anything
any of them had ever dreamed Of The
officials say they are going down to the
coast next Sunday and every Sunday
and holiday while the men live within
the stockade.
The trip was made in a special train
which left during the early hour of the
morning, arriving at the beach while
yet the cool breezes played over the
surf and they got back to their tents
here at 1870 last night, sunburned and
tired, but with a new VigOr.
It is said to be the intention of the
company to take the men to a different
beach each Sunday and give them a
good time. This has added a little work
to the commissary department, which
spends several hours Saturday putting
up lunches for the men.
