Many wonderful cures of female ills
are continually coming to light which
have been brought about by Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and

through the advice of Mrs. Pinkham,
of Lynn, Mass, which is given to sick
women absolutely free of charge.
Mrs. Pinkham has for many years
made a study of the ills of her sex;
she has consulted with and advised
thousands of suffering women, who
to-day owe not only their health but
even life TO her helpful ADVICE.
Mrs. Fannie D. Fox, of 7 Chestnut
Street, Bradford, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham -
Il suffered for a long time with womb
trouble, and finally was told by my physician
that l had a turnor on the womb. ] did not
want to submit to an operation, so wrote you
for advice. l received your letter and did as
you told me, and to-day l am completely
cured. My doctor says the tumor has disap-
peared, and l am once more a well woman.
l believe Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the best medicine in the world for
women"
The testimonials which we are con.
stantlypublishingfrom grateful women
establish beyond a doubt the power of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound to conquer female diseases.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. She asks
nothing in return for her advice. 1t is
absolutely free, and to thousands of
women has proved to be more precious
than gold.

They were waiting for a fresh deck
IF cards and some other things and
one of them felt moved to say: ssThose
Nantucket people must find it pretty
tough to be completely shut off from
civilization two or three weeks every
winter" "Huh!" grunted a man across
the table, you don't know the Nan
~tucketers, do you? At any date. Won
miss their point Of view. They twist
the situation plum around and figure
that it's pretty tough on what little
civilization there is out of their bloom
ing island to be shut off from them.
The boots on the other leg. In their
opinion, Unless you were born and
brought up i'll Nantucket YOU'RE no
great shakes. They'll tell you that
when they're icebound there's no end
of excitement on tine mainland because
nobody raj get to them, but they don't
want you to suppose for a moment that
they're anxious to get to other folks,
and there's no make-believe about it
either. And it isn't that they haven't
seen the rest of the world, for they
have. They're just satisfied with them
selves and their surroundings. WHAT'S
more, they're cute in the head, those
natives. Ever go into that heirloom
shop CT theirs OH the main street of the
village? They've sold enough Nam
tucket warming pans and ships clocks
and spinning wheels and foreign idols
in that store to stuff the British Mu-
scum twice over, but the stock never
runs low; it's a high-tide stock summer
after summer. There isn't a rich fam.
lily anywhere that can't boast of q
Nantucket relic or souvenir made in
New Jersey and stained with age-or
stain. If you've a notion that those
mariners and descendants of mariners
on that sand waste allow the Jokes on
them when a steamer can't plow hel
way through to them, you want to talk
with them."-Providence Journal.

ARTIFICIAL SILK COMING.
Proposed Inception of This German In.
dustry in America.

New York City. = Consult General
Guenther reports from Frankfort, Ger
many, that he is reliably informed that
negotiations have been entered into by
II of the German associations to es-
tablish artificial silk works in the
United States, and it is very probable
that their erection will soon be COM
menced. The shipments of artificial
silk to the United States from that
consular district amounted to $13S,315
in 1904.
This proposed inception of this indus
try in America gives timely interest to
the essay of Ludwig Braun, of Crefeld,
Germany, on artificial silk. In this
way he says:
For more than $50 years efforts have
been made to find a cheap substitute
for genuine silk, At last cellulose has
been found to be suitable for producing
brilliant threads of silk-like appear
ance. The best kind for the purpose
is carded cotton, which was used by
Count Hilairede Chardonnet, the first
manufacturer Of large quantities Of
artificial silk"

ers Take Zach Report Increases Size
of Disaster to Russians.
Toxic, Japan.-Every official report
from the front adds to the magnitude
4of the Russian disaster, and the indi-
cations I that the whole truth of
the crushing blow delivered by Field
Marshal Oyama to the Russian arms
VIII not be known for some days, ow-
ing to the fact that the casualties are
SO great and the spoils so large that it
is impossible as yet to get accurate
figures.
AS an indication of the losses inflicted
on the enemy. a dispatch received at
headquarters states that the Russian
losses in front of the armies in the
h River direction alone were 10000
prisoners, including Majors General
Nashimoff, and 26,500 dead left on the
field. 1t is estimated that the total
killed and wounded number about co.
900.
The spoils taken by the Japanese
comprise a number of colors, sixty
guns, 10000 rifles, 100000 shells, 25,-
100000 rounds of small ammunition,
1000 horses, twenty-three carloads of
maps, a vast supply of provisions, fOd-
der, fuel and clothing, railway and tele-
graph materials, Announcements and
supplies of all kinds. Every dispatch
received adds to the number Of prison.
ers taken and guns captured.
The official dispatches state that the
pursuing detachments which started
from the right bank of the Hun River
reached a line thirteen miles north of
the river. On the following day the
pursuit of the retreating Russians was
vigorously continued.
A detachment which left the Pu
River, thirteen miles from Mukden, on
the Telling road, that forenoon had an
engagement with a large column of the
enemy which was making it's way
northward as rapidly as possible. The
Japanese charged the Russians and a
hand to hand fight occurred. Ultimate
ly most of the column was surrounded
and captured. Those of the column
who succeeded in escaping continued
to fight hopelessly for awhile and fin
ally surrendered. The whole field was
covered with Russian dead. The Jap
anese have since been engaged in bury
ing their W dead and those of the
enemy.
The Japanese casualties reported
since February &c number 41,222.
No report has been received from the
Japanese operating in the direction of
Haingching.
Reliable unofficial reports state that a
detachment of the extreme Japanese
left has reached Sintun, on the Mukden
road, ten miles south of Telling. A
detachment from Fushun has occupied
Lanniwo, ten miles north, having re-
pulsed several flank attacks by Russian
forces from the mountainous district
to the northeast in the direction of the
Kaiyuan and Talin road.
London, England.-In a dispatch Just
filed, the st. Petersburg correspondent
of the Times confirms the reports of
General Kuropatkin's resignation. The
Council of War has been summoned.

Indian Government Destroys Sections
of Towns by Fire.
Calcutta, India.-The deaths from the
plague in II week numbered $4,000.
Statistics show that in 1903 the NOR
tality in India from the bubonic plague
was $4,000 The latest number of
deaths reported, quoted above, while
extraordinary, is not unprecedented.
The infection recently spread in Bur-
nah, where it is making rapid strides.
This season of the year always favors
its spread.
The Indian Government is making
every effort to eradicate it, destroying
by fire whole sections of town and
segregating the inhabitants. But ow-
ing to the climate and the sanitary cor
dition of the outlying districts and ma
tive sections of the towns, it is difficult
to cope with the epidemic, which
breaks out continually at fresh points.

Iron Industry Booming.

That there is a substantial revival
in the iron industries of the country
and that this revival is beginning at
the bottom and finds expression in an
increased demand for raw material is
very clearly shown by the statistics
presented by the Iron Age, which indi-
cate that January was the month of
greatest pig iron production of any
month in our industrial history. Not
including charcoal iron, which repre-
sents about 10000 tons a month, the
anthracite and coke iron product in
January was 1,776,500 tons.

States represented. The important
fact developed during a discussion thai
the supply of white oak lumber will be
lessened about one-third for the mex
SIX months on account of the severe
cold weather of the past winter. Az
a consequence the price will be much
higher.
