make you irritable; you can't sleep,
you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen.
erative organs in women is SO close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability. Spirits easily affected. so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and
between the shoulders. Loss of voice;
nervous dyspepsia A tendency to cry
at the least provocation. All this points
to nervous prostration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent monthscof pros
tration and suffering SO surely as LydiS
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. M E. Shotwell, of 1o3 Flatbush
Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y, writes:
81 cannot express the wonderful relief
have experienced by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. I suffered for
long time with nervous prostration, back
ache, headache, loss of appetite. l could
not sleep and would walk the floor almos4
every night
81 had three doctors and got no better, and
life was a burden. I was advised to try
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and it has worked wonders for me.
A" am well woman, my nervousness is al
gone and my friends say look ten years
younger"
Will not the volumes of letters from
women made strong by Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound convince
all women of it's virtues? Surely You
cannot wish to remain sick and weak
and discouraged, exhausted each day,
when you can be as easily cured 90

The Negro in Des Moines.

as West Des MONIES. An Iowa negro
artist comes from his home In Paris,

of commissioners is an Iowa boy He
is about 50 years of age and will assist

Good reports are coming in from eN-
cry direction as to the number of ne
groes who will enter the grade ana
high schools. the colleges and the uni
versities of America and Europe There
is no fat bank account behind these
boys and girls But there is something
better-industry energy, perseverance,
and n firm WILL For instance. Leon
Walker. Grnnell class of 1903. is at
tending Harvard medical department.
He has been at work in Canada all
summer getting means to defray the
coming years expenses and has depriN-
ed himself of the pleasure of visit to
his mother in ColfaX, Iowa.
Edward A. Caster is a graduate of
,he collegiate department at Iowa City
and is now in the medical department
of the same school. With his gradual
ton from the medical department he
will have closed eleven years in high
school and college. During that time
he has met his expenses by working in
the coal mines of Iowa. Small of stat
ure and light in weight, he has worked
beside strong men Two years from
now he will have reached the goal of
his ambition, and be armed for bat
ties of lifes struggles.
Des Moines schools this year have
more negro boys and girls in the
grades and high school than in any
year previous. There are about fifteen
entered in the West Des Moines High
school alone so far. One lad of l6 has
worked his way through the grades
almost unaided. During the short va
cation this summer this boy has been
at work, and out Of his earnings he has
assisted his mother and accumulated
small bank account. He has clothing
enough to run him during the school
year and money enough to supply him
self with necessities. This is his first
year in the high school. His aim is to
graduate from the high school, then a
diploma from a university, and this
to be followed by a sheepskin from
law school. Back of these school boys
and girls, in a ma iority of cases, is
mother whose back still bears the
marks and scars of the overseer's lash.
1T is in rare cases that Iowa makes
room for and retains the class of ne
groes herein indicated. They exert an
influence for good not only for the
race, but for the state. 1t takes pluck
to employ such as these outside of
mental positions. Few have the cour-
age to employ negroes of brain power
and character on their merits, as have
a few individuals and corporations.

groes of Polk county alone are en-

THE HEALTFUL HOG PEN.

City residents have of late years
objected strenuously to the thrifty GUS
tom of keeping a few pigs on the BACK
lot as an unhealthful and obnoxious
practice to be vigorously suppressei
Cases have been known where the
poskers led to curses and casualties
between neighbors otherwise without
casus belli and the dockets of police
courts sing of arms and the porker
Health officers secretly sought and in
formed of the terrible effluvium Gre
ated by Murphys pigs have moused
into in,lunerable back yards with or
ders of removal and disinfection. Out
side of the consistent hen and the chill
dren, the pig as provocation of neigh
borhood hostility ranks pre-eminent
Now it appears that these objections
have been not only unneighborly, but
unsanitary Chicago health officials
answering the inquiry of an lndianian
who was curious to know how long
human life might be endured among
the smells of the union stockyarGs, in
form the inquirer that the effect OF the
reeking odors is to prolong life ana
health in those subjected to them. 1t
is found that the death rate averages
between IL and 13 per cent lower than
the average of ten other districts
which there are no stock
yards, fertilizing plants. etc The av-
erage death rate of these ten wards
was 1890 per thousand, or 12.7 per cent
higher than that of the stock yards
ward.
Butchers are proverb;ally and brut-
ally healthy. Perhaps the secret of
their strength is to be found in the
slaughter house. The men and boys
who splash about in the ordure of the
stock yards grow strong in more ways
than the one most noticeable. 1t is
told Of Zimmerman that he treated
disease thru the olfactories, tire patient
smelled and was cured. Possibly we
shall have the stock yards cure next,
and the packing house become health
resort for all save hogs ans cattle. If
so. the profits of the trust may be rails
ed beyond the IS cents per animal
slaughtered, as definitely discovered by
young Mr. Garfield.
But the best thing connected with
the new discovery is the sanitary sal
OF the hog pen and hen
house on the next door lot. 1t spells
peace in Milesian neighborhocds.

MAIL ORDER COMPETITION.

petition came up for discussion at the
recent gathering of Upper Des Moines
editors. at which time retail mer-
chant appeared upon the editors pro-
gram with a unique suggestion. This
merchant admitted that mail order
competition was fast destroying good
part of the retail business in our small
towns. He insisted that appeals to the
publics loyalty to it's home town were
useless and futile. His remedy was the
organization of retail stores into great
associations or unions to eliminate the
z iobber and his profits in their buying
and to go forth into their respective
localities with the power to underseli
the mail order house.
This gentlemans plan would UNI
doubtedly prove effective in meeting
the competition of the catalog house,

4 it would not win the whole fight, for
the catalog would be left in all it's
power, and then the organization of
retailers into purchasing associations
sufficiently large to size up with a
modern catalog house is a task so stu
pendous as to almost preclude serious
consideration.
A far easier plan would be the or
ganization of the retailers of single
town into a concerted advertising CAM
psign. The catalog itself is a greater
merchandising than the ability to un-

painting and picture argument that
carries the mail order store to the very
fire. side, and into the home of the GUS
toner while the local merchant asks
the customer to drive over poor roads,
thru bad weather, to see what he has
on his shelves. Local merchants could
combine and print catalogs and distrib
ute them freely turnout their trading
districts. They could print their cat
alogs in serial form in the newspapers
and have them distributed into almost
every home. If they, would wake UP,
combine, and send the printed solicitor
out after business as the mail order
house does, they would be astounded at
the results.

DIES MONIES CRIMINALS.

Des Moines is again agitated over
what appears to be another brutal and
mysterious homicide. The body of a
man widely known and prominent in
business circles is found floating in the
river under circumstances that testify
to deliberate murder. His whereabouts
and actions up to the time he left his
hotel to take train seem fully ac-
counted for. Between the hotel and
the depot he disappears until his dead
body with hands bound behind its back
4 is dragged from the Des Moines river
and the shout of murder raised. Ply
II sicians after examination, state that
the man was dead when thrown into
the water. The detective force is all a.

ton of a LIE Coco, but there are no

The case illustrates how helpless the
average police and detective officer IS
before a carefully planned and execut-
ed crime. Murder does not always out,
at least it often waits long before re-
vealment. Within little more than
decade three murders, including the
death of five persons, have been COM
mitted in Marshall county that have
not been brought home to anyone, and
which have gone entirely unpublished.
