or Don't speak to me, | am all out of
sorts?" These significant remarks prove
that the system requires attention.
Backache and " 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 E 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
full 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
whom she has relieved.
Surely such testimony is convincing.
Mrs. J G. Holmes, of Larimore, North
Dakota, writes:

SALARY

The police commissioners OF Newport
will get their salaries. and the long pend
ing trouble in regard 10 the legality OF
the city councils action in trying TO
overcome indirectly the states attack on
home rule is ended by the appellate divi-
sion OF the supreme court. In rescript
handed down today in the case or Jere-
miah w. Horton ct al VS.. the city council
and the city treasurer OF Newport this
language was used:
THE constitutional questions In the
case having been decided In favor OF the
petitioners. by opinion 27. r.. J., the city
treasurer now contends that IL Is not his
duty to pay the salaries OF the commits
sioners inasmuch as no appropriation OF
money for that purpose has been made by
the city council IL does not appear,
however, by his answer that there has
been no appropriation for police purposes,
and II such an appropriation was made
their salaries are payable therefrom- In
deed. the resolution which the city coun-
ell passed and which they will now
rescnd. was apparently restriction upon
the use OF such police appropriation only.
But for this void resolution the treas
urer would have paid their salaries In the
due course OF his administration.
THE answer II therefore insufficient,
and the peremptory writ will issue ms
we'll against the treasurer as against the
members OF the city council"
