A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries is unfit to care
for children; it ruins n child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration. ner-
vous dependency, " the blues sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do You experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do You feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted.
morbid.y sensitive to light and sound /;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in n shattered
condition, and YOU are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegc-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.

TONS OF DYNAMITE EXPLODE.
Disaster in Tennessee Causes Twelve
Deaths.

Jellico, Tenn.-Twelvc deaths, the
injuring of scores of other persons and
100000 damage to property were
caused here Friday when carload OF
dynamite standing on track near the
Southern railroad station exploded
with a report that was heard twenty
miles. Buildings We're shattered in the
business section of the town ana
nearly every piece of glass WITHIN IA
radius of one mile of the place was
broken.
One body remains unidentlhed
There is possibility that other bodies
may be recovered from the ruins.
Eighteen persons were seriously in
jured, among them being r. ID. Baird,
president of the national bank of Jel-
leo and mayor of Jellico who was cut
on the neck.
The freight car. belonging to the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad lines, contained
$50 boxes, or 10000 pounds, of nigh
explosives, consigned to the Rand Pow
der Company, at Clearfield. Tennessee.
Two causes are assigned for the ex-
ploson. One is that three men were
shooting at mark on the car and that
a bullet entered the car, causing the
explosion.
The other is that while the car was
standing on a side track carload oil
mig iron was switched against 1t and
that the impact CAUSED the explosion.
Jellico is situated on the Tennes-
see-Kentucky line, about sixty r lies
from Knoxville, the main portion OF
the town being on the Tennessee side.
The lines of railroad. the Southern and
the Louisville & Nashville. enter it,
The depot of the Southern. which is To-
Gated near the scene of the explosion,
was wholly wrecked. Two hotels, the
Glen Morgan and the Carmathtan,
were badly wrecked. the third story OF
the latter being destroyed.
