DR.. Miles Restorative Nerv-

curing these brain-wrecking
diseases that there is every
reason to believe that even the
most hopeless cases can be
benefited, if not fully restored.
We will be pleased to refer
any one thus afflicted to many
who now enjoy the blessing Of
health, after years of hopeless
suffering.

when two years old, followed by fits of
the worst type. and he was pronounced
incurable. | spent hundreds of dollars
for him, without relief. After about
fifteen years he became so bad that We
sent him to Longcliff hospital for the
insane, at Logansport, Ind. He was
there nearly three years, but he con-
tinued to grow worse, so we brought
him home July &c. 1902, in an awful
condition. He had lost his mind almost
entirely. He hardly knew one of the
family; could not even find his bed;
was total wreck. He had from D to
10 fits a day. We were urged to try
DR.. Niles Nervine, and before the first
for the better We have given it to
him ever since, and he has had but
two very light spells since last August,
1903, and then he was not well other
ways. We pronounce him cured, as he
can work and go anywhere. If any one
wishes to ask any questions concerning
this, they are at liberty to do so"

The Switzerland government
has resolved to convert the
whole of the railroads in the
country to electric traction and
tenders for carrying out the en-
terpriSe are to be invited from
the most prominent electrical
engineering firms. Enormous
sources Of generating and re-
qulsite energy are availa bic
from the abundant waterfalls,
the greater proportion of which
power IS at present running to
waste. The state railroads ag-'
gregate 1920 miles Of track. Of
which 242 miles are double. AL
though the revenue from the
railroads is already consider
able and lucrative to the gov
ernment, it is anticipated that
conversion of the railroads to
electric traction will result in
an increased profit. Scientific

After having for thirty five
years paid its employees in
checks drawn on banks near
the company's Offices and shops
the Pennsylvania has decided
to return temporarily at least
to payments direct by cash.
The change will affect 100000
men. When the check system
was instituted it was thought
that the distribution of wages
in this form would make the
superintendent personally &C
ouainted with their men, but
the vast growth in the number
of employees has prevented the
carrying out of this object.

Launch the Greatest Combinations
Ever Dreamed of-New Merger

win Control Telephone Interests
of United States and Canada.

Newark, N. j., Feb. 1.-While the
officers of the New York and New
Jersey Telephone company refused
today to admit that there was to be
a huge merger of 43 of the biggest
telephone companies in the country
into S25O,0OO,OO0 corporation, it
was acknowledged that a business ar
rangement was being made with all
of the companies reported to be in
the combine. by which It would be
possible for telephone subscribers in
this city to talk with San Francisco
or any far distant point either in this
country or Canada.
Notwithstanding denials, 1t is re-
ported that the arrangement is more
than a mere working agreement and
that while the combination NAV not
nominally be made 1t will exist in
fact.
All of the 43 constituent COM
panies, however, will retain their in
dependent titles and seemingly oper-
ate as independent companies under
separate officers,
The controlling American (BelD
Telephone and Telegraph company
has, It is understood, obtained practi-
cally a controlling interest in each of
the 43 companies and is now in n po-
sition to dominate not only the tele-
phone business OF the United States
but practically the telephone business
of Canada.

Two LITTLE WAITS"
Lincoln j. Carter's Scenic Production
Coming for Two Nights.

Lincoln ]. Carter's successful play,
THE Two Little Waits" which will
be at the Frazer on February 4 and
8, does not depend on sentimental
phrases or blood-curdling situations,
but has to be acted right to intelli-
gently interpret the various roles.
This is true of every part particu-
larly that of the dual role, who i'm
personates two women. in widely diff
ferent walks of life throughout the
entire performance. frequently chang
ing from one to the other several
times in a single act, some of the
transformations being rapid and re-
duiring great skill.
This requires cast of sterling
worth and to harmonize in their work
in such a way as to vividly bring out
the plot intelligently, forceful and
dramatic conception. Such n cast is
with this company and many high
salaried artists are included amongst
its members.
The staging of this piece is very
good. Sunset and moonrise scenes
with drifting cloud effects, lighted
buildings and show windows, pleas
ing lantern and electrical effects and
snowstorm being among the princi-
pal scenes.

WHY DOCTORS FAIL
AND MRS. PINKHAM SUCCEEDS
Plain Reasons Are Here Given to Explain
Why Lydia E. PInkham's Vegetable Com
pound Cures When Doctors Are Powerless

Awomanis sick; some disease peculiar
To her sex is fast developing in her sys-
tenn. She goes TO her family physician
and tells him story, but not the whole
story.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifies the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctors fail to cure the diseasep Still
we cannot blame the woman, for 1t Is
very embarrassing TO detail some of the
symptoms OF her suffering, even TO her
family physician.
1t was for this reason that years ago
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, de-
termined to step In and help her sex.
Having had considerable experience In
treating female ills with her Vegetable
Compound, she encouraged the women
of America to write to her for advice in
regard to their complaints, and being a
woman, it was easy for her ailing sis
ters to pour into her ears every detail
of their suffering.
In this way she was able to do for
them what the physicians were unable
to do, simply because she had the
proper information to work upon, and
from the little group of women who
sought her advice years ago great
army of her fellow-beings are to-day
constantly applying for advice and re-
lief, and the fact that many thou
sands of them have been cured by
following the advice of Mrs. Pinkham
during the last year is indicative of the
grand results which are produced by
her unequaled experience and training,
No physician in the world has had
such training or has such an amount
of information at hand to assist in the
treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local irritation to
the most complicated womb diseases,
This, therefore, is the reason why
Mrs. Pinkham, in her laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, is able to do more for the
ailing women of America than the
family physician. Any woman, there
fore, is responsible for her own suffer
ing who will not take the trouble to
write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
The testimonials which we are con-
stantly publishing from grateful wo-
men establish beyond doubt the
power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to conquer female diseases.

Vienna, Feb. IAN extraordinary
story is being told here. on the au-
thority of a Buda-Pesth correspon-
dent. Some weeks ago the yacht
which the Inflated Servian Queen
Draga bought shortly before her
death was brought up the Danube to
the Hungarian capital by its pur-
chaser, Belgrade merchant
Owing to queer stories current
about the yacht difficulty had been
experienced in getting a full crew,
men deserted. Two days later a din
ner party was held on board. A num-
ber of idlers, attracted by the yachts
tragic association, were lettering on
the quay, when suddenly a frantic
scream was heard. and a beautiful
young girl, in evening dress but
without her cloak, rushed out of the
companion way and dashed along the
gangway to land. The excited crowd
attempted to stoy her and ask what
was the matter, but with the mysteri-
ous words, 1.-THE face; the faceu" she
tore herself away and rushed down
the road.
Next morning rumor spread rapid
ly that the electric lamp in the
yachts saloon had gone out suddenly
during dinner, and that a hideously
gashed head. livid and streaming
with blood, had stared down at the
company through a blue mist on the
after bulkhead. ut is Draga's
ghost" said the superstitious.
On the following day the crew de-
serted IN a body. The river authori-
ties ordered n guard to be set on
board. Difficulty was experienced in
getting anyone to spend the night on
the haunted yacht. but at last an old
waterman, named Birnbaum. was in
duced to go on board.
At daybreak he was hailed from
the deck by the men who had come to
relieve him. No answer was re-
ceived. The relief, being frightened,
ran ashore and refused to go near
the yacht
An hour later three policemen.
each trying to keep at the tail of the
procession, went on board the yacht,
and proceeded down the companion
ladder. In the saloon, lying on his
back, and in a swoon, in which he
had apparently been for several
hours, was the watchman. On his
face was a look Of inexpressible hor-
ror.
When brought to Birnbaum refused
to say what he had seen. but ex-
claiming wildly, "The face; the face"
staggered on shore.
