All women work; some in their
homes, some in church. and some in
the whirl OF society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens OF thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject TO the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical distur rbance, and the nature Of
4 their duties. in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, ovarian
troubles, liberation. falling and dis
placements of the womb, leucorrhpa
or perhaps irregularity or suppression
Of monthly periods, causing back
ache, nervousness, irritability and
lassitude.
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more susceptible To these
troubles than others.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them To bear easily the fatigues
OF the dav. to sleep well at night, and
TO rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing To see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching. she is SO
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain. the origin of which is due Co
some arrangement of the female or
gsnism.

Investigations Regarding Assisted Immigration"-President Points to Dangers of Admitting
 Undesirable Classes.

The president is attacking with a yigor got in his mountain holiday the immigration question.
 What do you think of a million aliens for this year? That is what the records probably will show at the end of the fiscal year June 30 next). A million steerage passengers coming in a short tweivemonth to make here home and livelihood, is rather appall- ing. And surely so when our immlgra- tion agents tell us their investigations abroad have convinced them there IS going on what may be spoken of as as- sisted immigration. One of the agents, Mr. Brandenburg, is reported as de- claring jails are being depopulated in certain countries, and the conyicts re- ceiving the hint that in America they doubtless will find more salubrious climate. It Is asserted that in spite or protests to the contrary, there pass foreign ports for our shores criminals, paupers and other undesirable immi- grants. On this side the regulations are more and more strictly observed, many thousands returned whose kind once got in. Nevertheless, there ar rives this year a horde considerable enough to startle those that have at heart the best interests of the country.
 Not alone is it the numbers that ap- pal, but the changed character of the immigrants Where once the stream flowed from Ireland, Scotland, Eng land, Germany and Scandinavia, new corners akin to the American people, now there pour in very foreign foreign CTS, Russian Jews. Hungarians and Italians. For the arrivals during the first nine months of this fiscal year, Austria Hungary sent the largest num- Der, 1S2,464, then came Russia with 130,250. and from Italy there were over 100000. Two-thirds of the i'm migrants for this period came from Austria Hungary, Russia and Italy; from France and Scandinavia trifle more than one-quarter of the whole. When one studies the statistics that tell of the illiteracy and lack of cap ital, one begins to wonder if we better not draw to the doors of this asylum of the world"
 Walter Wellman. writing in the Chi cago Record d-Herald, states: "Presi- dent Roosevelt is carefully inquirine into the methods of the various steam ship companies which encourage i'm migration and profit by it. The charge is made that the steam ship companies have not kept faith with the United States. They not only advertise the great advantages to be gained by migration to the United States, but they paint the glories of life in this country in such alluring colors that the poor people of other | lands are sadly misled.

When one has a prettily rounded arm 1t need not be so plump-the sleeve finished with band above the elbow is smart and becoming. It is a good idea for a dressy waist to have a fin ish of ribbon and perky bow at the back, but this is not necessary.

Twelve Tons of Drinks.

Computing upon the basis of piut of beer a day and bottle of whisky a week. a man who has used liquors for the last 50 years has figured out that in that time he has consumed more than 12 tons of fluids. A bottle of whisky a week is not an unusual indulgence. since 1t is less than three drinks a day. and yet in 50 years the total will have reached . sum of 2.s0o bottles. while in the same time the teer consumed represents about 255 nine-gallon kegs. This seems c pretty big load" for one man to' carry. but 1t must be remembered thas when distributed over 1s.2e2 days the average is small enough. and that dur-i ing that time probably 1.5o0 tons of solids have been consumed.

Using the Tin Cans.

The tin cans9which were saved up last winter will come handy now. If there is barrelful of them, they will not come amiss. Punch holes in the bottom, then set one by the side of each tomato, eggplant or pepper. When the weather becomes dry these cans are filled with water. which soaks down gradually and reaches the roots as wanted. If some kind of fer tilizer is put in the cans. so much the better. By this means the water is applied where it does the most good, beneath the surface and about the roots-Farmers Review.
