Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daug hter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When n girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start the menstrual
period in a young girls life without

The cottage Just east of O'Connell q

ing about 30 O'Clock. Mr.. and Mrs.
Weaver Tatum, who occupied the
cottage. were awakened 10y the smoke
and had just time to escape. When
Mr.. Tatum, who got out last, left the
burning building the flames were
tapping about the door.
When neighbors arrived it vas seen
that the cottage could not be saved,
nor any of the contents, and attention
was turned to surrounding property.
There was brisk wind blowing and
burning shingles were lifted high in
the air and scattered within a radius
of several blocks. Owing to the rain
rhe day before and the heavy frost,
no other buildings were ignited.

ciaD-It is authoritatively denied in
Washington that Senator Allison will
use his influence against the bill
abolishing the Panama canal commits
sion because Admiral Walker the
chairman of the commission is his
brother-in-law. Both Senator Allison
and Admiral Walker deny that they
are related.
There is now bill before congress
changing considerably the present
plan for the construction of the Pan
anna canal 1t has been made evident
by various difficulties that the Pan
anna canal commission is an unwieldly
body. 1t is said that both the Pres
ident and Secretary Taft are of the
opinion that matters would progress
much better if the matter was in the
hands of one man or at the most a
commission of three instead of seven.
The saving in large salaries is another
point in favor of this plan. The bill
now before congress has passed the
Louise and it provides for the abolish
ment of the present commission. A
ate which is similar in every way ex-
cept as to abolishing the commission.
1t is said that the house and senate,
may have serious difference OF opin-
ion on this matter.
1t was in this connection that ru-
mors arose that this situation was due
to the fact that Senator Allison was
/, determined to save Admiral Walker
because he was his brother-in-law.
| 1t now appears that the reason for
Senator Allison's unwavering friend
ship for Rear Admiral Walker, chair
man of the canal commission dates
| back to the beginning of the political
career Of the senior senator from Iowa.
| 1t has already been denied that they
are related in any way. When Senator
Allison first entered politics he was
a great favorite and in fact a protege
of Governor Grimes, who was ''republi-
can boss and chief executive of Iowa,
| in the early fifties. Later Senator
Allison married niece of Mrs. Grimes
Rear Admiral Walker was nephew
of Governor Grimes and lived with
him so that he and the young girl who
subsequently became Mrs. Allison
were raised together. Governor Grimes
was always very much interested in
young Walker and when he died he
]left to Senator Allison as a sort OF
informal legacy the care of the we'll

}has been most faithfully fulfilled by
