The "change of life" is
the most critical period
of a woman's existence,
and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near
is not without reason.
Every woman who
neglects the care of her
health at this time in
vites disease and pain.
When her system is in
a deranged condition,
or she is predisposed to
apoplexy. or congestion
of any organ, the ten
dency is at this period
likely to become active
and with a host of ner-
vous irritations, make
life a burden. At this
time, also, cancers and
tumors are more liable
to form and begin their
destructive work.
Such warning symp-
toms as sense of suffo-
cation, hot flashes, head

of impending evil, timid-
ity, sounds in the ears,

Taft and His Trip.

At banquet given to Secretary
Taft last week by Filipinos the policy
of the United States toward the isl.
ands was outlined with a curious
cocksureness as the future upon the
part of the secretary that revives
memories of speeches he delivered
months ago which were noted for the
way he viewed the future of the ISL
a,ds. Then there appeared little
that was definite or that could be
viewed by the Filipinos as promising.
OF course. conditions have arisen in
both the Philippines and Porto Rico
which would lead Taft to quite diff
ferent views, even to the assurance
of a belief in the Philippines for the
Filipinoss--Youngstown Yindicator.

FRAUDULENT PRIESTS
And Bogus Nuns Impose Upon Chi
cago People.

Chicago, Sept. 7.-Three bogus nuns
and two self-styled priests have been
going around Chicago for the past
two years gathering money for myth
ical hospital, according to revelations
made by two women arrested for dis
orderly conduct.
The two women are said to have
confessed and to implicate the others.
The women told the police that a
large sum of money, in the aggregate,
had been collected from the benevo-
Int people in Chicago, ostensibly to go
to the "St. Mary of Nazareth Roman
Catholic Orphan Home" There is no
such home.
The quarrel which resulted in the
womens arrest was over the division
of the spoils The police are looking
for the two bogus priests and othei
fraudulent nuns.

MATTHIAS TESTIFIES.

MATTHIAS TESTIFlES.
The next witness to go on the stand
was Peter Matthias of Canton. Consid-
cradle time was wasted in controversy
between the states attorneys and those
representing O'Neil, due to Judge
Earnhart's endeavor to ascertain
whether or not Matthias had been led to
believe by the sheriff that he would not
be prosecuted in the event of his turn
ing states evidence. Earnhart was
hopeful that he would find such to be
the situation and thus find grounds for
excluding presentation of testimony on
the part of Matthias. He was unsuc-
cessful, however, and the states attor-
neys took the witness in hand.
NOT CASTOR'S FRIEND.
Matthias swore that he had no friend
ly relations with Castor, but that he
had received several letters from Cas-
tor while working for O'Neil, which he
turned over to O'Neil. Matthias stated
that he did not answer any of the mis-
siyes, as he practically could not read
or write. Judge Earnhart secured the
admission that the witness might have
received a letter from Conrad within a
week after his incarceration The at
torney tried to show that Matthias was
associated with the scheme to liberate
Conrad in advance of the supposed trip
to Columbus by O'Neil and Gumbo.
HAD THE CASH.
Sheriff Karb was again called to the
stand as witness and announced that
something over $115 in money was
found on the person of O'Neil at the
time of his imprisonment Judge Earn
hart at this point involved the court
and the states attorneys in a prolonged
discussion by insisting that all letters
issued by Conrad be presented in court
during the preliminary hearing.
The state argued that If the letters
and notes were introduced they should
be recognized as having been written
to O'Neil. The court could not see it
that way.

Secretary Root Proposes to Ascertain
II the Mikado's Word Is Bet
ter Than the Cars.

tC' NAN tnC SZdT ..
Washington, d. c., Sept. 7.-Secre-
tary Root will at once take steps to
ascertain the real attitude of Japan on
the question of maintaining the open
door in Manchuria. All the papers in
the state department on this subject
were mailed to Mr. Root at New York
today. He will study the matter and
make representations to Japan at an
early date.
Japan promises in the fifth article of
the Portsmouth peace treaty to give
all nations equal opportunity to pro-
mote trade in Manchuria. Russia made
the same promise, but did not fulfill it.
1t Is Secretary Roots intention to as
certain at once whether the recent war
between Russia and japan resulted in
a change of masters for China In leav-
ing that empire Independent.
Secretary Root will ask Japan for
permission to locate a consul at Dalny
which will be leased to that country
He will make the same request for a
consul at Harbin, which will be again
under the jurisdiction of China. Rus
sia refused to permit consuls at these
places because Dalny was declared tc
be military fortress and Harbin was
likely to become the center of military
operations.
Secretary Root will also ask that the
Likin tax be abolished. Negotiations
were progressing with China for thai
end, when Russia dictated refusal. L
the request is not granted now, it will
be assumed that Japan has dictated
another refusal and will hereafter dom
mate China, as Russia did previous tc
the recent war.

Does Insurance Cost Too Much?

Does Insurance Cost 90 MUCH
Statistical figures of great interest
to life insurance policy holders are in
cluded in the opSn letter left with
State Insurance Commissioner Vorys
by Colonel Fl. Woodland, represent
ative of the new Life Insurance Policy
Holders association of Cincinnati. The
figures in part are:
"The so life insurance companies
doing business in Ohio in 1904 and
total income of $5S3,61G, ,S73.58; thsy
paid to policy holders $24l, l,S61, ,07572;
the total aggregate cost of manage
ment was $137,617,246.43. This was
235 per cent of the gross total in
come. These so companies recsived
as premiums in Ohio in 1904, $24,332,-
$3.50; losses paid in Ohio in same
year, $S,087, ,040; excess of premiums
over losses paid in Ohio, $16,245, ,493.50.
Assuming that the cost of manage
ment was the above average, 23.5 of
the income, then the policy holders
of Ohio paid $3,S15G90.99, or moro
than AZ cents for each dollar of
losses paid to them in 1904.
Had the cost of management been
the average of the cost in some other
companies, ~ per cent of total income,
the total cost of management would
have been $2,919, ,906;43, a saving to
participating policy holders in Ohio of
