marry him. At last a daughter said:

barn and you shall stand in the kitchen

"A nervous, lrrltab bic mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely nnfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency. the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women testify to this fact.

If peace is made at Portsmouth it
will be known as the treaty of Wash
ington. and so designated in history;
but II will better deserve to be called
the treaty of Roosevelt 1t is now
perfectly apparent to every observer,
whether in Europe. America. or the
East, that if peace is brought to pass
it will be due almost entirely to the
efforts of the determined American
Executive,
It was not the right time to initiate
a movement for peace, Immediately
after the battle of the Sea of Japan
That battle did not materially change
a situation that had long existed. It
merely emphasized the control of tEs
sea that Japan had held from the be-
ginning of the war Russia was still
left with a great army in Manchuria
and the disposition TO gamble on the
result of another battle If the Presi-
dent had waited till after that battle
his movement for peace would have
AA1iti iIAOA z 1iIcAAlCCy anu as 41hC1N IL uOl
the battle would now have been
fought and his movement initiated.
But Mr. Roosevelt, doubtless realiz-
ing all these possibilities of embar-
rassment, wanted to save the world
and the combatant nations the hor-
rOrs of that battle He took the
chance Of failure in the hope of do
ing a great good; and when brought
face to face with the serious prospect
of that failure, he proceeded to show
how very much in earnest he was
and how indomitable his determina-
tion not to fail.
1t is too early TO write the story
of what the President has done tc
help make peace. Much of it is not
known save to the three governments
involved. But it is certain that with
untiring energy and unf1agging deter
mination he has given his every re-
I source of effort and influence to the
! cause of peace, and that he has sought
with every means to bring the war
ring nations together. If he shall
win 1t will be the greatest victory
of diplomacy in generations; and i
