All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subjectto the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors Hof all
kinds of female, complaints, ovarian
troubles, liberation, falling and dis
placements of the womb, leucorrhea,
or perhaps irregularityI or suppression
of monthly periods" causing back
ache, nervousness, irritabi1ity and
lassitude.
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more susceptible to these
troubles than others.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, to sleep we'll at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is so
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due 70
some arrangement of the female Or
ganism.

Peace-Time Armies

OF all great nations the United States
of America has in it's time
standing army the smallest number of
soldiers in proportion to extent OF
population, namely, one soldier to
every 1000 citizens. The opposite ex-
IRENE, curiously enough, is reached by
another republic -France-which has
one soldier to every u of it's popula-
ton. Italy has one soldier to every
100 subjects; Germany, one to 107;
one to 125, and
Great Britain one soldier to every 225
subjects. Belgium, having a popula-
ton of not more than 100000. has one
soldier to every 100 Inhabitants. Rus
STA has one soldier to every lao of it's
subjects; Japan, one to $50.

Milk Cans Become Lifebuovs.

A farmers wife, who had been to
Llandipsil, Cardiganshire, to sell milk,
had singular escape from drowning
while returning to Carmarthen. A
small boat in which she was crossing
a river was upset and she was thrown
into the water. Fortunately she had
with her two milk cans, now empty
and securely closed, and these acted
as life-buoys. Clinging to the cans,
the woman floated along for some dis
lance until passersby saw her plight
and rescued her.-London Express.

President Roosevelt charged up San

blockhouse on the summit of the hill,
which was about as big as a switch
mans shanty, and wouldn't hold two
platoons of infantry, of II men to the
platoon, without crowding, and which
closed the war, after the navy had ever
lastingly paralyzed the Spanish vessels,
and sunk them in wet water, and picked
up the crews and run them through
clothes wringers to dry them out; but
we are as safe here as we would be on

thai too few find opportunity to cul-
tivate and enjcv in their homes, is
too apparent to be denied. The
various schemes or plans that have
been suggested, while some of them
have not seemed practical, have
called forth the expression OF gratifi-
cation that warrants the belief that
all are in favor of PARK. No OBJ
lection has been heard, and the main
thing seems to be, where TIE ground
can be secured.
A farseeing citizen, whose judy
mentin such matters has always been
commended, suggests to The Herald
that wise plan would be to secure
tract of land. now very reasonable
in price, lying just east of the main
portion of the city, between it and
the river. The city at this point
extends out onto natural bench,

river banks. A tract of say fifteen
acres might be secured here, and a
large number of desirable shade
trees set out that would in time and
with further improvements, make
one of the most beautiful parks in
the northwest. On the lower land
plenty of room for lawns. tennis
grounds, Fairgrounds for the chill
dren, handba1l and basketball courts,
etc, could be placed, and model
recreation ground for old and young
arranged.
1t is a matter that should not be
allowed to drop. but that should be
placed in the hands of committees or
otherwise urged to a realization at
an early date. Land is raising in
value every year in the vicinity of
the city. and now is the time to buy
and begin to improve a park.

OUR POPULATION.

According to the last special cen
sus, there are now in the city, in
round numbers, seven thousand
souls. Twenty years ago North
Yakima was a sagebrush plain with
the surveyors stalking out the embryo
city. To-day, with it's miles of
streets empowered by stately shade
trees, cement sidewalks, beautiful
residences, magnificent bank build
ings, with over million and a half
of dollars in their vaults, block after
block of business houses, wholesale
and RETAIL graceful and imposing
church edifices, some of them works
of the highest art Of the builder;
large, convenient, freproof school
houses Of brick and stone: North
Yakima shows what twenty years
American energy count for. But
it has cost money. labor and struggle.

public-spirited citizens.

railroads, county roads. Commercial
club, academies, churches, the state

proposition to develop the city-all
met and willingly, for there was the
determination to build a city. 1t has
been done and well done. 1t costs
the old inhabitants thousands upon
thousands of dollars. but it was
money well spent, for now we have
a city.

OBSERVING THE LAW.

An effort is being made by the
officers of the city to enforce the laws
as they are laid down in the statute
books. In this they should be up
held by every citizen, regardless of
their opinion as to the merits or de-
merits of the case. There has been
too much of disposition on the
part Of the American people to disre-
gard the laws of the country. Every
officer upon entering upon the duties
of his office must subscribe to an oath
to the effect that he will enforce the
law. AS long as ne is in Office it is
encumbent upon him to do So If
the law is unjust or unpopular, that
is no excuse for him, if he remain
true to his oath. The duty of re-
pealing it remains for the legislature,
and this act can only be performed
when the people signify desire for
a change.
President Roosevelts' great
strength and popularity lies in his
respect for law, and were it not for
this the people of the United States
would not have that feeling of Sc
curity and confidence that they have
in him.

At the door was a polite and affable
doorkeeper; the hall was beautifully,
tastefully. decorated, all done by the
boys, and would have done credit to
older hands; at the assembly-room
the visitor was met by courteous
usher; the plays were well rendered
and the several parts correctly per-
formed; the lunch at the close. neat
and politely served. There were a
few teachers present, but evidently
lockers -on and not directors. The
whole affair was courteously, pO-
iitely, managed by the boys. who
acted as perfect gentlemen and ac-
quilted themselves excellently. The
whole entertainment proved that the
pupils had been well trained, and can
be an honor to themselves and a
credit to their parents and teachers,
