When physician tells woman, SUI
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death kneu had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operationsi
It is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of st. An
drew's Society, Hotel English, Indian
apolis, Ind. writes of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
cannot find words to express my thanks
for the good Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said could
not get well unless had an operation for
ovarian and female troubles. / knew could
not stand the strain of an operation and made
up my mind I would be an invalid for life.

RAILWAY SIGNAL MEN.
Make Important Rulings as to Opera
ton of Safety Devices.

Chicago. Sept. 15.-Eighty members
of the Railway Signal association held
a meeting here recently and discussed
important specifications in connection
with railway interlocking devices.
Some of the rulings adopted were:
"Derails-When split point derails are
locked in open position a block OF
iron must be riveted to the plate to
adjust the derail to the open position.
All main track derails must be re-en-
forced. except where lifting derail is
used.
Bolt locks-All facing point
switches, derails, movable point frogs
on main track must be bolt locked
with signals governing that route, and
in all cases where switch and lock
movements are used bolt locks must
also be used. Distant signals will not
be bolt locked.
sThe switch bar on all bolt locks
must have an independent connec-
ton"
The results of the days discussion
will be submitted at the annual meet
ing of the association next month at
Niagara Falls.

TEBEAU HAS PLANS.
Louisville Baseball Magnate to Organ-
ize Third Major League.

Louisville. KY, Sept. 15-George Teb-
eau, owner of the local ball club and the
most important magnate in the Ameri-
can Association, is now working out a.
plan for a new baseball league that Will
rival the American and National organ
izations. Tebeau figures that there are
now too many big and important cities
in the east and west that are compelled
to stay in minor leagues and that q
third major league will thrive.
However, his plan is to take in some
of the cities now in the other big
leagues and fill out with the best large
cities left. He includes Cincinnati and
Brooklyn of the National league and
Washington of the American, as well as
Baltimore of the Eastern. Louisville
and Milwaukee will probably be the
other big western cities to get in the
organization, although the entire make
up of the league is not yet given out.

said he expected to it sell at 200 be-
fore he died. 1t is reported around
that document has been signed

rumoreo that. as one result of the
quarrel between George Gould and E.

Equitable Life association war and
other things, that Gould and James
Hazen Hyde had made a treaty with
j. p. Morgan and j. ]. Hill, offensive
to Hartman. 1t was said that the
treaty bottled up Harriman's Union

sides that it might force the post
ponement for several years of his

far as to say that all the Goulds had
signed an agreement which j. J. Hill
