Among this class the symptoms of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part of the

cured by Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegeta-

Miss Abby #. Barrows, Nelsonville,
Athens Co., Ohio, tells what this great
medicine did for her. She writes;

BY Associated Press
sT. PETERSBURG. April 13.-The
report that ex-Minister of the Interior
Prince viatopolk-Mirsky will return
to public life as president Of the re-
script commission, although not Of
fcially confirmed, creates much salts
faction, as his sympathy with the
principle of popular representation IS
we'll known.
Nunberless stories are being printed
abroad giving details of the character
composition and date of convocation
of the coming parliament The Asso-
ciated Press can state that they are
premature. Countless plans have been
submitted. the favorite zone being
narIiament composed from two sources,
an upper house of 100 members, half Of
them to be nominated by the emperor
and half to be elected by the nobility,
and lower house of 625 members
elected by various classes in all parts
of Russia, including the non-Russian
provinces
The commission, however, has not
decided, even in principle, the nature
of the composition of the Parliament
ary body. 1t is the delay which has
destroyed popular confidence in the
sincerity of the government, and led
the attorneys congress to undertake
an active, united propaganda by all the
in Com
stitutionalism.
The press has won a victory in the
decision of the press commission to re-
move the censorship from foreign press
kilograms. The regulations, however,
will not go into effect until the re-
