How often do we hear women say: ut
seems as though my back would break, "
or Don't speak to me, am all out of
sorts?" These signihcantremarks prove
that the system requires attention.
Backache and 9 the blues" are direct
symptoms OF an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare itself. 1t
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some uterine arrangement. Nature
requires assistance and at once, and
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts its curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments OF
women. 1t has been the standby OF
intelligent American women for twenty
years, and the ablest specialists agree
that it is the most universally success
ful remedy for woman's ills known to
medicine.
The following letters from Mrs.
Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely are among
the many thousands which Mrs. Pink
ham has received this year from those

Surely such testimony is convincing.

PECULIAR FEATURES OF
EXPLOSION AT HANCOCK
BOILER LANDS RIGHT SIDE UP
SIXTY YARDS AWAY
Accident Caused by Water Becoming
Too Low, and Stays Pulled Through
Crown Sheet Without Loosenlng
Heads, Owing to Heated Condition

An investigation into the accident on
the Santa Fe, near Hancock Saturday
morning, in which the fireman and en-
gineer lost their lives. brings out sew
eral remarkable features.
w. w. Webster, engineer of tests,
who conducted the investigation, in his
report received yesterday at the gem
eral offices, says that the accident was
due to allowing the water in the boiler
to become too low. That because Of
this, the crown sheets became white
with heat and when the explosion oc-
Cured the metal was at such a tenn
perature that the stays pulled through
the crown sheet without the heads
coming OFF.
The boiler was lifted from the frame
of the engine and thrown sixty yards
ahead and landed right side up. The
engine did not leave the track and the
machinery was but slightly injured.

SANTA FE PREPARES FOR
HEAVY TOURIST TRAVEL
THIRTY NEW TYPE ENGINES ARE
8 ORDERED
Locomotives Capable of Making NIne-
ty Miles an Hour Are to Be Put
Into Service for Fast Overland
Passenger Trains

In preparation for the expected heavy
tourist travel of the coming winter sea-
son, the Santa Fe will shortly put into
service on the Pacific coast division a
new and larger type of engine than it
has hitherto used. M
Thirty of these engines of the ball
anced. compound Pacific type are now
under construction at the Baldwin Lo-
connective works, Schenectady. N. Y, and
are expected to arrive in Los Angeles
about October /.
They are of such weight that several
of the eastern railroads have refused
to transport them to Chicago. where
they are to be taken in hand by the
Santa Fe, and a considerable detour
between Schere rectady and Chicago will
have to be made as consequence.
They will be used entirely for the
overland fast passenger work and are
expected to develop speed Of ninety
miles an hour. Quick starting and
capacity for hill and mountain climbing
are other features in their favor ana
engineers say the type is the acme of
locomotive building.

Five years ago a Los Angeles fruit

a bid for Increased business by spend

New York. In six months the de-
mand upon the part of consumers had
been so stimulated that the number
of houses handling the Los Angeles
goods had increased eightfold. The
company has now become one of the
largest advertisers in its line. its ap-
preparations for publicity running into

PLANS AND EREcTs BUNGALOW

The title ''homemaker' is doubly
true IN the case Of Mrs. G. II. Cook
who not only presides over her home
with grace and dignity. but has de-
signed and largely with her own hands
built the pretty bungalow at 1921 An
gelica street, Angeieno Heights This
artistic little home on hill over
hooking the city is monument to the
Angenuity and perseverance, Of q Los
Angeles woman.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cook for some time
longed for little home that they
might call their own. but as Mr.. Cook
is', employed in Los Angeles at ONCE
work, It was impossible for him to
attend to the construction of the resi-
der,ce. But nothing daunted the pluclxy
little wife and she was not to be
thw1rted in her purpose. She drew
the plans for the beautiful bungalow
now nearing completion.
Lil1e Rome, the bungalow was neither
plannesd nor built in a day, but is the
result of many days of planning and
hard work by Mrs. Cook.
Works as a Carpenter
About one month ago these plans
took tangible shape in the com
n1encenpent Of building operations, Mrs.
Cook working with hammer and saw
day after day, being assisted in the
heavier work by a carpenter.
The. bungalow, when completed, will
consist Of five rooms, finished in Ore
gon pine in weathered oak tints. The
walls and ceilings of the rooms are
finished in tinted burlap. Later. a
room will be finished in the attic. The
front of the bungalow will be adorned
with large porch, which will be en-
closed with glass, making 1t an ideal
living room and a sunny spot.
This neat little bungalow will cost
about $500, and would under other cir
cumstances have cost about $1,000. The
extra money which has been saved
Mrs. Cook feels can be expended on
the interior to beautify the home as
perhaps it could not otherwise have
been done.

Expressive Nam for Indigestion

F. A. sHURTLEFF & CO. HAVE SIMPLE
REMEDY THAT is GUARANTEED TO
CURE THE TROUBLE.
No one word better expresses the con-
dition of the sufferer from weak stomach
or indigestion than misery" The stOm-
ach is weak and cannot digest the food,
so that there is no appetite, there are
pains and gripping in the stomach and
bowels, the head and back ache, and the
misery goes to every organ.
Strengthen the stomach and the digest
i've system by the use of Mona. This
is the only stomach remedy known that
gives relief by strengthening the stom-
ach and digestive organs. 1t il this prin-
ciple that makes it certain cure for
indigestion. Other medicines may give
temporary relief by helping digest the
food, but they do not strengthen the
stomach, and that organ gets weaker
and weaker all the time.
F. A. Shurtleff & Co. the reliable retail
drug firm have so much confidence in
this remarkable remedy that they guar
antee cure, or the money will be re-
funded. Mi-o-na costs but so cents box.
Ask to see the strong guarantee given
with every box.
Mi-Una is in tablet form and should be
taken before each meal. Other remedies
for stomach troubles and indigestion are
taken after the meal, and decompose
the good food you eat, but Mona used
before eating strengthens the stomach,
soothes and heals all irritation and in
flammation, enriches the blood. and
puts the stomach in such healthy con-
dition that it will take care of the food
itself and there will be no pain and suf-
fering.
