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 woman.
Fits of depression or restlessncss 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 months Of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia

but We trust We will. in the near future, go

sandy strand.

Kansas City Market Letter.

Special TO the Tribune.
Kansas City, Mo-, Monday, May s.
Very light cattle receipts last week help
ed the market in different ways: 10 to 20
cents was added to prices on nearly all
kinds of cattle, and packers got rid Of a
part of the stuff in their coolers, leaving
the situation considerably better than
close of previous week. The supply to-
day is larger than week ago, but the
market is able to stand little more this
week, and is about steady on desirable
kinds, others weak to 10 cents lower.
stockers and feeders steady. Country
grades of cattle have held up better late
ly than killing cattle, as it looks like
better proposition this year than last.
and demand from the country is very
good Prices of stockers and feeders are
40 to go cents higher than at this time
last year, whereas fat cattle are 75 cents
to dollar higher than year ago. A
good many hay fed cattle from Colorado,
Montana and Utah were here last week,
weights from 800 to 100 pounds, and
sold at s425 to S4.75. Quite n number
of high grade ighr>~xeight Panhandle
stockers were also included, selling up to
$3.50. Hay fed steers suitable for the
packers we're scarce, but few sold at
S4.65 to $40. Corn fed branded steers
sold at $500 last week, the extreme top
for the week. Unless excessive runs are
received this week the market should
hold about steady as the demand is able
to absorb ordinary supplies all right.

wha, |, Costs to open Wrong Letters.

Ihe authorities at Washington have
fixed a penalty of a 500 fine for any per
son taking out of the postoffice mail
other than their own, says an exchange.
All postmasters are liable to make mis-.
takes and get mail into the wrong boxes,
and the law says that people must exam
inc their mail before leaving the office,
and should they receive a piece which is
not addressed to them it must be return
ed at once.
That it is the fault of the postmaster
makes no difference. This law includes
newspapers as well as first class mail
There Is class OF curious people every
where and they are as rule contempt
IDLY curious about letters and other mail
matter which they chance to get hold OF.
They will open all letters coming into
their possession and often when knowing
full well they don't belong to them.
They will after reading the letters write
on the envelope "opened by mistake"
and without signing their name drop it
back into the postoffice box at night or
during the day when not observed. This
class of curious individuals is warned to
be careful in the future. III they open
hereafter mail which does not belong to
them they are responsible for the same,
whether opened by accident or design.
