FEMALE DISORDERS
These Troubles Are Nearly Always Caused by Torpid Liver, Poor Digestion and irregular
 Bowel Movements.
To Permanently Cure Them the Liver Stomach and Bowels Must
 Be Put Right.

It is fact we'll known to medical men that very large majority of the weak. ness, irregularities and disorders pecul. jar to women are due to torpid liver and constipated condition of the bowels. In men a diseased liver produces kidney trouble; in women the genital organs being more delicate than the kidneys are first affected, the disease spreading later to'the kidneys. To all women who suffer irregular, excessive or suppressed 7nenses, leucorrhpa (whites) womb trouble, pain or irritation we say Pricklv Ash Bitters offers you speedy and per manent relief It puts the liver in viz. orous condition, empties and cleanscs the bowels and tones up the female organs. With the liver and bowels ac- tive and healthy those distressing bearing down side and back pains, spells of weakness, heart throbbing, faintness, nausea will quickly disappear, giving place to feeling of vigor and buoyancy of spirits. The eye is frightened, the complexion is cleared, the whole body strengthened and improved, thus chang ing weak, nervous, Respondent woman into one of sparkling health aud cheer fulness. Prickly Ash Bitters is in this respect boon to suffering womanhood. As kidney remedy it has merit of the highest order.

There is a fair prospect that this will be overcome.
 The second obstacle is the fact that several English manufacturers are also great consumers, who have profted by the dumping of foreign steel biilets on the English market. The third Is the problem of a control or check on opera tions. This is under consideration.

 New York, April z1.-Representatlves or the great steel manufacturers Of the United States. Great Britain Germany' Austria and Belgium, are reported to be In secret conference in London with a view to arranging for the reservation of home markets. the prevention of dumping and the fixing of uniform export prices The project originated with the German syndicate,
 Negotiations were taken up about three months ago by the leading interests originally with the idea of regulating prices in neutral markets, but the Brit ishers insisted that England be included because Germany ships to that market al least one million tons of steel product yearly. This resulted in the calling of the present conference for a discussion Of the whole question of export prices in all markets, including those of plates, rails, structural steel and mi-products. The first difficulty was in the non-exist- ence of a combination of British manu- facturers, who include twelve groups.

Farm Rents Too Hioh.

Clinton, Ia, Feb. 17.-According to
reports from farmers in this section
there is a scarcity of renters and some
of the farmers may be compelled to
work thier own land. The renters
claim they have been compelled to
pay such high rent, from So to Sc per
acre. that it takes everything which
they produce to pay the rent. Furth-
ermore, many men who have been
renting land of others have gone to
Oklahoma, the Dakotas and Canada
and have purchased farms of their
own where the land is cheap. They
claim that it is utterly impossible for
man to pay the high rental demand
ed in this section and save penny.
Moreover, in event of partial crop
failure they come out on the wrong

Japan Lands 100000 Troops.

London, Feb. 17.-According to spe-
cial dispatches published here from
Toxic the Russian squadron has re-
turned to Vladivostock. The corre-
spondent at Chemulpo of the Daily Ex-
press makes the astonishing state
ment that Japan has already landed
100000 troops in Korea, $4,000 of
whom are extended along the fighting
front south of the Yalu river.
No war news of Importance appears
in the London newspapers, but the
press attaches the greatest import
ance to the departure of Viceroy Alex
Jeff from Port Arthur and comments
upon the sudden throwing of Russian
troops into New Chwang, as indicat-
ing Russian apprehensions that Port
Arthur is in danger and that the Japa-
nese attack may not after all be
where it is expected, on the Yalu. All
the reports contend that Russia has
little or nothing to expect from sea
operations. According to dispatch
to the Paris edition of the New York
Herald, 400 torpedoes, being two-thirds
of Russia's entire supply of these ar
ticles, were destroyed on board the
Russian cruiser Variag at Chemulpo.
The Toxic correspondent of the
Chronicle cables that it is stated Off
cially that several thousand Russian
troops have reached Antung and that
1t is rumored that 10000 Russians
have arrived at Ping Yang. on the
Tatong river, in central Korea.
In a dispatch, dated Port Arthur,
a cl respondent of the Times gives
desc Upton of seven Russian warships
which, he says. are lying disabled
there They include the battleships
Sevastopol and Petropalovski, which
have not been named in previous re-
ports of the action. The correspond
ent says that altogether eleven Rus
sian ships were put out of action at
Port Arthur Continuing. he declares
that the japanese were driven from
the neighborhood of Kinchau, near
| New Chwang, after skirmish, in
which 80 Japanese were taken pris-
oners and seventy Russians killed.

The following editorial from the
"Nonpariel" is of particular inter
est to the Boards of Supervisors of
the several Counties of our state
and if the precedent set by the Pot
tawattamie Board was adopted it
would be big saving to tax payers:
Now that Pottawattamie county
has erected capacious house on
the poor farm which will be
ready for occupants less than two
months hence, a queer state of
things has developed. AT least
nearly halt of the people who are
receiving aid from the county say
they will not go to the poor farm,
and the supervisors say they will
either go there or receive no futher
aid. The supervisors report that
some people who have been cared
for by the county say that rather
than go out to the county farm they
will provide for themselves. These
feel that it would jolt their dignity
to become inmates of such char
liable institution. The really needy
who are physically unable to earn
sufficient for their support will be
willing to accept the comfortable
home provided by the taxpayers,
but the others who have not hes
itated to accept aid and felt it to be
no disgrace and are strong enough
to work, will for time at least
cease to be public charges. A coun-
ty poor house is the last place some
people wish to inhabit while they
are on earth. They are willing on
the other hand to accept all the aid
the taxpayers will contribute and
= L H. 4
covery made by the supervisors is
valuable as showing that the coun-
try has been contributing to the
support of some people who are
able to earn sufficient for their own
needs. What is true in Pottawatta-
rnie county is no doubt true in every
county in Iowa. The poor house
idea is pretty sure to separate the
worthy from the unworthy appli-
cants for public aid, besides being
a decided saving to taxpayers.
