OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham. early in her career, gave exhaust
i've study to the subject, and in pro-
ducing her great remedy for woman's
ills Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound-wasc careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many SO called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. arrangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,
urine too frequent, scanty or high col
ored, producing scalding or burning,
or deposits like brick dust in it; un-
usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet,
swelling under the eyes or sharp pains
in the back running down the inside
of her groin, she may be sure her kid
neys are affected and should lose no
time in combating the disease with
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, the woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is.

PAST WEEK WAS UNEvENTFUL

Lansing, Mich, Feb. 2S.-The past
week has been q rather uneventful one
In legislative circles. In fact but very
little of anything Of an unusual char
acter has transpired since the session
commenced two months ago. This has
been about the least exciting session
of the legislature that Michigan has
had in two decades, and there does not
appear to be anything in sight to liven
up the situation to any great extent
After all, it is possible that the peo-
pie Of the state are the gamers by the
condition of affairs. We have had ex-
ceedingly strenuous and wildly excit-
Ing sessions of the legislature in years
gone by which did not yield anything
of exceeding great value to the citizens
of Michigan. 1t is not often that
state suffers from failure to enact leg

stances where disaster followed the en-
actment of laws whose consideration
was characterized by "a whoop and a

the Russians made counter attacks at
many places. On the right flank the
Russians occupied the village of Boa

from that position hurled hand gren-

Sharp Fight at Bridge.
The seizure of the railroad bridge
across the Shakhe river was the occa-
sion of a sharp combat The Russian
succeeded in surprising the Japanese
bridge guards and, reinforced, beat off
all attempts of the Japanese to regain
possession of it.
The Japanese are using heavy siege
artillery in the bombardment Of Pu-
tiloff Hill and Novgorod Hill, and this
Is believed to be preliminary to an at
tempt to storm them. The losses to
the defending force are insignificant.
The fight appears to be developing
in intensity along the whole line.
Ten determined attacks opposite
Yansintung and west Of Vanupudzi
were all repulsed with heavy loss.
The situation on the Russian left
flank is unchanged as compared with
Monday evening.
The effect of yesterdays develop
ments on Gen. Kuropatkin's reported
intention to withdraw from the Shakhe
is problematical. Retirement in the
face of an enemy, which is extremely
hazardous under any circumstances, is
doubly dangerous when the armies are
graphing in a general engagement;
but if Gen. Kuroki succeeds in rolling
up the Russian left much further the
perilous eXpedient may become neces-
sary.

representatives Of the other states at
that show, and consequently felt M
times as If they were pretty small
potatoes and mighty few in q hill.
Toward the close of the exposition the
commissioners were obliged, in order
that Michigan might keep its end Of
the affair up to any reasonable salts
factory and commendable altitude, to
go out among the manufacturers OF
the state and beg funds for further
expenses, the appropriation having
been exhausted. Even this solicita-
ton did not yield sufficient sum and
the commissioners and secretary found
it necessary to go down in their Own
pockets and make good the deficiency.
Now the commissioners are before the
legislature with a bill which provides
that the money realized from the sale
of the state building and other proper
ty at the close of the exposition may
be used toward making good to the
commissioners the sums advanced by
them. No one 1 think, will say that
this bill should not pass. There ap-
pears to be growing sentiment that
If Michixen is hereafter to participate
with other states in enterprises of this
character, 1t should, through its legis-
lature, make provision so that the state
can make as good an appearance as its
sister states. The only alternative
should be to keep out of the matter
entirely. The state gains nothing,
but rather loses much by appearing on
occasions of this character in shabby
attire.
State Board of Health.
The senate bill for the reorganiZa-
ton of the state board OF health mas
come from the house committee on
ways and means in amended form. AS
amended the bill limits the annual ex-
penditures for clerk hire to Sl5,OOO, the
present expenditure ON this account
being $4,000, and limits the total ex-
pense Of the department to $4,000 per
year. AS introduced the measure
placed no limit that could be expended
for clerk hire, the existing law being
followed in this respect. 1t is stated
that Representative Head will en-
deavor to induce the house to still
further amend the bill by providing
that the secretary Of the board shall be
elected by the board instead Of ap-
pointed by the governor, although
limiting the term of office Of the secre-
tary to six years instead Of leaving it
practically unlimited as at present.
The original measure placed the same
limit on the term. 1t is not believed
that Mr.. Head will be able to secure
the adoption of his amendment, al
though he proposes to make a hard
fight for it.
1t would appear from the nature of
n bill introduced by Representative
Petit, who halls from the upper
peninsula where deer abound, that the
law providing a penalty for the acct
dental killing of deer hunters has not
proved to be the success that was
hoped for in the way of lessening
these distressing accidents On the
other hand it has worked disas-
trously in another direction. The
Petit bill seeks the repeal Of the law
in question, the reason for de-
string repeal being that since the
enactment of the law persons who
have injured fellow hunters have made
1t their first business to get out Of
sight rather than go to the aid Of the
injured hunter.

Case of Sanford N. butcher.

Governor Warner acted promptly
upon receiving complaint that Sanford
n. butcher one of the trustees of the
upper peninsula hospital for the in
sane. had been acting improperly in
connection with the sale of wood to
the state for the use of the asylum.
In substance the charges are to the
effect that Mr.. butcher purchased
hardwood stumpage from the Palms
estate of which he was the local agent,
and sold the wood, through his brother,
to the asylum at the substantial adj
vance of 80 cents per cord. Imme-
diately upon receiving the charges
Governor Warner dispatched Major
LOOMS, his private secretary, to New
berry with Instructions to secure such
colToborative evidence as could be
found in the asylum records and else
where. 1t Is the governors purpose to
institute the necessary proceedings
which the law requires in cases Of re-
mova1 Of officials for improper conduct
in office. UpoS learning of the filing
of the charges SIR. butcher came to
Lansing and had an interview with
the governor. He admits the transac-
ton. but insists that the state was in
ITO wise defrauded as ii paid no more
than the market price for the wood.
He also admits, while insisting that he
has committed no legal wrong or
crime, that his act was improper in
view of the position he held as mem,
Der Of the asylum board.
Money for Agricultural College.
One of the largest appropriations to
be asked for from the present legisla-
ture is that desired by the state board
Of agriculture for the use of the agri-
cultural college. The board asks for
$275,O00 for special purposes as fol-
lows: For an engineering building,
100000; for an auditorium and
library, $4,000; for an addition to the
botanical laboratory, $4,000; for NOV
Ing and repairing barns, $4,000. The
exceedingly rapid growth Of the college
during the past few years warrants
and demands these expenditures in
the opinion OF the members Of the
board. Tho engineering department
has made particularly extensive strides
and it is evident that something must
be done to accommodate the rapidly in
creasing number of young men who
seek instruction in this department.
The college has long since outgrown
its auditorium and library accommoda-
tons.
Another effort will be made this year
to secure an appropriation for the es-
adjustment Of prison for women,
Senator Jones having in charge a bill
making an appropriation of 100000
for this purpose. Many of the leading
women Of the state are interesting
themselves In this measure.

Dairy and Food Department.


The most important matter consid-
cred during the past week was the bill
designed to increase the efficiency of
the dairy and food department. The
consideration of this measure was
marked by considerable discussion in
the house, but certain amendments
were mutually agreed upon and the
bill was passed by unanimous vote
when it came up on third reading.
There is no doubt that it will pass
the senate and he given immediate eff
feet in both houses.
1t is the desire of the legislative lead
ers to now take up and push to i'm
mediate passage a primary election
law, and this matter will have atten-
ton before any other measure of i'm
portance is considered. Several days
ago there were some indications that

would not wait for the completion of
bills which are being prepared by Sen
ator Brown, but would Immediately

Governor Warner and few of the

desired that nothing be done during

Taxpayers Get Off Easy.

Speaking Of Michigan's representa-
ton at the Inauguration of President
Roosevelt, the people of the state may
possibly be pleased to know that this
little affair will doubtless cost them
less than the taxpayers Of any other
state in the union will be called upon
to pay. Many Of the states will be
represented not only by their govern
ors and the latter's military staffs, but
by one or more regiments of state
troops and all this at the expense OF
the taxpayers. Governor Warner and
the members Of his staff who will nc
company him will be called upon to
pay their own expenses, including
transportation, and the members of
the staff will not be allowed any per
diem for this service. This means
that the taxpayers of Michigan will
not be called upon to put up n solitary
sou on account Of the trip to Washing
ton Whether this is altogether to
the credit Of the state is a matter of
opinion. There are people who believe
that It would be q fair investment for
matters and thus make as good n
showing at functions of this national
character as other states Of like size.

also to furnish electric lights in the

While talking over the matter. the
question of new bridge over the Gal

arose and Colonel Twitchell, who hap
peued to be present at the CONNER

that a concrete bridge be constructed
the full width Of the street. Mr
Twitchell said that concrete bridge
would be as solid and durable as rock
itself, and would really be an orna
ment to the thoroughfare. The pre-
sent bridge has excellent foundations
down to solid rock and the cost oi
construction of the new bridge would
not be more than $4,000.
Colonel Twitchell thought that the
