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 disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, 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 to
some arrangement of the female or
ganism.
Boston, tells women how to avoid such
suffering; she writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-

female irregularities. My back ached; had
tHaring-down pains, and frequent headaches;

pent-a python-at first was harmless,
but with the food given it from the
child's hand, it grew rapidly, and soon,

the liquor habit as another form of

Cost of BattIeships to Prevent War.

While the struggle between Russia
and Japan taught no new lesson of i'm
portance, it emphasized the fact that
the time is coming when only the rich
est nations can afford to so to war.
The coming battleships are so enor-
mously expensive that the smaller
countries cannot afford to build them.
The time has also come when you can
no longer afford to experiment with
your health, that is if you ever expect
TO get well again. We therefore urge
every sick man and woman to get a
bottle of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
this very day and let 1t make you
strong and hearty again. 1t restores
the stomach to its normal condition
and cures flatulency, heartburn, poor
appetite. dyspepsia, indigestion, nau-
sea, costiveness, cramps, liver and kid
ney ills or female troubles.

Excuses Reason.
Come, for all things are now

livered by Rev. d. S. Toy at the Memo
rial Christian church in the western
district last evening. He devoted him.
self mainly to the distinction between
reason and excuses in deciding against
Christianity.
Briefly relating the parable of the
rich man who prepared a feast and
sent his servant TO invite the guests,
DR.. Toy likened those who gave ex-
cuses to the people of today who give
excuses for not becoming Christians.
He pointed out that the guests were
not hidden until the feast was ready,
and that man was mot asked to accept
salvation before salvation was prepar-
ed for him. The evangelist, speaking
separately of each of the excuses pre-
scented in the parable, showed the
ridiculous side of these excuses, and
with apt illustrations showed that
those who gave the excuses lied.

FIELD PEAS.

Denver Field and Farm, in comment.
ing upon the raising of field peas in
the San Luis valley, Colo, says:
Among the leading industries of this
beautiful valley is the culture of the
field pea. The method of growing field
peas is very simple, cheap and easy.
The soil is prepared as for small grain.
The peas are drilled and given one or
two irrigations and then left to grow
and ripen. In the latter part of June
the peas begin to bloom and stand al
most as high as the fences. The thou
sands of acres of these growing peas
present a very pleasing picture.
After the peas nave ripened there is
no laborious work to harvesting. Lambs
are turned into the fields to do the
harvesting and at the same time pre-.
pare themselves for market. The peas
are profitable not only for fattening
purposes, but also make one of the
very best fertilizers the soil can have
TO prepare it for the production of a
big yield of small grain the following
year. 1t is estimated hat one acre of
peas will fatten more sheep and give a
finer flavor to the meat han an acre
of corn, while the work of seeding, cul-
tivating and harvesting is reduced to
one-fourth the labor of growing and
care of a corn crop"

DEAD AT OMAHA.

DEAD AT OMAHA.
John Taylor, who was. the Oldest
member of the knights of Pythias in
the world, died Wednesday morning at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. George
H. Crager, 251S Decatur street, says the
Omaha Bee. Mr.. Taylor was 81 years
10 months and 3 days of age and had
been a resident of this city for thirty
eight years, coming here from Phila-
delphia. Mrs. John Hayward of st.
Louis, a daughter, was at her fathers
bedside when he died.
For some years Mr.. Taylor was
known as the oldest living Pythian in
the world. In November, 1868, he help
ed institute Nebraska lodge No. l,
Knights of Pythias, the first Pythian
lodge organized west Of the Allegheny
mountains. He was a member of lodge
No. 1, which still exists in Omaha, UP
to the time of his death.
Mr.. Taylor joined the Knights Of
Pythias in Philadelphia soon after the
organization of the order in 1864. He
was particularly well known in Pythiar
circles and was regarded as a loyable
man.
