make you irritable; you can't sleep.
you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen
erative organs in woman is so close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability spirits easily affected, so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps; pain in the abdominal
region and between the shoulders;
loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia;
tendency to cry at the least prOvoca-
tion-all these point to nervous pros
tratiOn.
Nothing viii relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia

Mrs. NJ. E. Shotweu, of JOB Flatbush
Avenue, BROOKLYN, n. Y, writes:
ct cannot express the wonderful relief I
have experienced by taking Lydia z Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. I suffered for
a long time with nervous prostratOn, back
ache. headache, loss Of appetite. could
not sleep and would walk the floor almost
every night.

life was a burden I was advised to try
Lydia &. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
ard it has worked wonders for me.

gone and my friends say I look ten years
younger"
VIII not the volumes of letters from
women made strong by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetab bic Compound convince
all women of its virtues? Surely you
cannot wish to remain sick, weak
and discouraged, exhausted each day,
when you can be as easily cured as
1ther women.

s.sEE AMERICA FIRST DESIGN.
OffciaI Emblem for League Which Is
Promoting Home Travel.

A design has been obtained by the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad to be
used in advertising the movement, or
iginated by the See America First
league, recently organized at Salt Lake
City. The design was prepared by
Major S. K. Hooper, general passen-
ger and ticket agent Of the system.
Major Hooper has not copyrighted it
and invites all who are interested IN
the movement to use the design in
spreading the gospel of See America
first" It is believed that the league
will adopt it as the official emblem
The design shows an American eagle
with wings spread and clutching a
culver Of arrows, which are to denote
unity and strength. From the eagles
beak float streamers which bear the
motto, "See Eprope if you will, but
see America first In the background
rise the mountains, behind which glows
the setting sun, indicative of the west.
The "See America First league" is a
patriotic organization having as its
object the desire to educate Americans
to travel and become acquainted with
their own country before going abroad.
The first meeting was held in salt
Lake in January and an executive
committee appointed. Ex-Governor
David r. Francis of Missouri is a MEM
Der of the committee.

Santa Fe and Frisco Obtaining Big
Piece Of Property in Houston.
Houston, Texas, March 2s.-Since the
Yoakum railways and the Santa Re
have Joined forces in the purchase of
a site for a union passenger station
freight depot and switching terminals,
the Bullock purchase originally made
by the Yoakum interests will be IN
creased to rs blocks=that is another
strip one block wide and 10 blocks long
will be purchased by the Santa Fe in
addition to the Il blocks that are be
ing purchased by the Yoakum rail-
ways
When the Yoakum roads first decid-
ed to purchase a downtown site for
the location Of a passenger station and
freight depot 1t was strictly a single
proposition, but later on the Santa Fe
Joined in the proposition. Since that
company has been Interested in the
deal the question Of purchasing addi-
tiOnaI land was made necessary.
It is said that the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa F'e Railway company will pur-
chase a strip of 13 blocks, beginning
at Texas avenue and running to Cal
houn avenue. The strip will be one
block wide, situated between St. En-
anuel and Charters streets.
Land involved in this strip contains
1856 city lots, upon which are located
many dwelling houses.
The land, it is understood, will be
purchased for the purpose of locating
the switching yards of the joint com

FAVOR DIVISION SHOPS.
Experts Contend They Are More Ser
viceable Than Large Plants.

Among the diSappOintments in econ
onaics expected to result from central
ization may be mentioned the large
locomotive repair shops, says the Rail
way Age Motive power men the
country over are beginning to change
front on the proposition that the larger
the shop the cheaper the output. With
the crude and semibarbarOus admin
jstrative relation still existing among
departments on most American rail-
roads. it often happens that a locomO-
tive will be sent or hauled several hun
bred miles at an unknown heavy ex-
pense for transportation in order to
show an apparently small cost for re-
pair If men We're machines and their
handling could be made as simple for
managers as the operation Of a switch
board by a telephone operator, the
large shop would be both logical and
practical proposition. Fortunately
men think for themselves. MiscOn-
ceived and misguided as are some Of
their ideas, the folly is apparent Of try
ing to do their thinking for them. In
the present stage of economic and in
dustrial development 1t is certainly
better for all concerned not to have
too large local bodies of organized
labor. The large shop has contributed
in too full measure to the arbitrary
and un-American restrictions Of IN
enlightened unionisn.
The effect of the large shop has
been to supplant and gradually to
abolish the division shop for heavy re-
pairs. This Is felt by many to be q

WESTERN PACIFIC NOT HURT.
Terminal Facilities Not Endangered by

today by =. T. Jeffrey. president of the
Western Pacific, that the matter sim
ply involved a comparatively small
plot Of land
The Western Pacific said Mr. JEFF

wise endangered by the decision. AS
matter of fact work has already been
begun on the terminal Site
Counsel for the Western Pacific said
that the decision of Judge Morrow re-
ferred to q small piece of land created
through the dredging operations of the
United States government. The made"
land adjoins property owned by the
Southern Pacific.
The Western Pacific held that the
land We STATE prCnertv and subject to
occupation for railroad purposes. The
court however, held that it belonged
to the Southern Pacific as an accretion
to its adjoining property. The case
will be appealed by the Western Pa

the outlook been so favorable, and
many of the new lines to be built ere
of such magnitude as to insure large
additions TO the railway mileage Of the

but for several years to come.

to discard those which are mere pa

seem most obscure may be the first to
be built Such is often the case, and
for this reason the list of projects is

been made TO ascertain the total mile
