It is because most women suffer from
some arrangement of their delicate
organism, the discomfort of which is
less trying when they are in motion
than when standing.
In some states laws compel employers
to provide resting places for their fe-
male employees.
But no amount of law can regulate
the hard tasks of these women. They
must get the strength which this work
demands or run the risk of serious
diseases and the surgeons knife.
Read the experience of Miss Margret
Merkley, 275 Sd Street, Milwaukee,
Wis:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:--
"Gradual loss of strength, nervousness,
bearing-down pains and extreme irritation
compelled me to seek medical advice. The
doctor said had diseased organs and ulcer
alton, and advised an operation if wanted
to get well objected to this and decided
to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound trial. soon found that all the good
things said about this great medicine were
true. The liberation soon healed, backache,
headache and nervousness disappeared, and
in a short time ] was strong, vigorous and
perfectly well. wish every working girl
who suffers would try Lydia e. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound"
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is vegetable tonic which invig-
crates and strengthens the entire fe-
male organism, and will produce the
same beneficial results in the cases OF
other sick women as with Miss Merkley.

Caplin, who operates an auction bus
mess here, was murdered in the din,

yers at Caplin, demanded his money.
When Caplin emptied his pockets and
his wife had turned over all the money
she had, the robber ordered Caplin
to give him the money he derived
from the days business Caplin

No Danger of an Uprising.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Post says:
That ther els no danger whatever of
an uprising in China against foreign
ers,' said Sir Chentung Liang Chang,
the Chinese minister.
1T is true, of course, that there
is political agitation in China, but it's
object is to create such excitement as
to cause international complicatio.ns
with the view OF crippling if not who'll
ly destroying the present dynasty. My
government is amply prepared to meet
any emergency. If, as a result OF
the agitation now going on, a worthy
foreigner is harmed, the emperor's
soldiers will pounce upon the com
munity that harbors the miscreants
and lay it in waste, should they be un-
able to find every one Of the scoun-
drels responsible directly or Indirect
ly for the trouble"

THE FIRST BEDS


The first mention Of the bed is in the
book of Esther. Then a bed consisted
Of coarse stuffed pillows which were
placed around two or three sides of
room, used for seats by day and beds
by, night. Later these were kept only
at one end of the room where an ele~
walton was built for them, and, in the
course Of time, made movable. "
It was probably the Egyptians who
first made these works Of art. With
their wonderful skill they ornamented
these elevations and constructed them
Of ivory, wood, copper, bronze, gold or
silver. Cleopatra 8 bed was exquisite.
It was built Of ivory and gold and was
covered with the finest of gold embroid-
cred silk draperies and tapestries.
The first beds Of the Romans were
simple affairs, corresponding with the
austerity Of the life among the early
Roman heroes. But after the invasions
in the east, some Of the Injuries of the
orient became known to them, and by
degrees the pleasure-loving Romans
adopted luxurious customs which ex-
ceeded even the luxury Of Persia, the
country which bore the palm for it's
household appointments.
The Roman bed was on the order OF
the couch, and it was not until the mid
die ages, when property and homes be-
came more secure, that the pedstead was
built. The first resembled berth, 8
compartment built in one side of the
room and curtained off. characterization
came later, and in the twelfth century
the double bed appeared; crude at first
but afterward becoming costly ant

SUPERSTITION VS.. STYLE

"They say women will do anything
for the sake Of style,'' said lower
Broadway milliner, as she poised a
huge bunch of grapes and foliage at
the back Of directoire creation, "but
all the rage as peacock feathers are
at present, you couldn It persuade some
women to wear them. They'd rather go
dowdy as a mealsack. Superstition, Of
course. Almost everybody knows that
the brilliant plumage is deadly in the
matter of luck, and then there is the
southern superstition which says that
no engagements ever occur in house
where there are peacock feathers.
That naturally clinches matters for
the unengaged girls. b.
HSee this hat I'm retrimming with

with lovely tuft Of peacock; plumago
dyed black-too chic for anything.
Yesterday the purchaser brought It
back and insisted on having it trimmed
with something else. She said she
hadn't had such a spell Of bad luck
for ten years, and that she wouldn II
wear those wretched feathers another
hour for. the price Of the hat. I tried
to reason with her, pointing out that
the feathers were really necessary to
the contour Of the hat and that the
grapes would not in any way take their
place. But she was obdurate.
Some Of my clients seem nervous
about even trying on a peacock

A WOMAN'S FISHING TRICK

A Boston woman, Mrs. Beardsley, has
shown two wise Maine guides how to
take trout out Of Molunkus river after
they had vainly used every means
known to them.
For some reason or other the fish
wouldn't rise. They lay thick in the
deep pools, but neither brown hackle,
professor, silver doctor, Pafmacheenee
belle nor any other standard fly in their
books would lure them to the surface.
They were all getting tired Of such
sport and were planning to 60 back to
their automobile, when Mrs. Beardsley
said she thought she knew a way to
tempt the big fellows to take hold. -,
'You send one Of the guides for one
OF the auto lamps and I IL do the rest, -
she told her husband. ">~z
The lamp was brought, and that night
| Mrs. Beardsley fastened it to a short
stout pole This she stuck in the soil
near the bank Of the river, and at night
escorted the party to watch her expert
ment. She rugged her leader with q
| brown hackle and black gnat, lighted
| the lamp, and, turning it on pool, be-
gan to cast. III. 7a H.,
For few moments no ripple broke
the surface. Then handsome trout cut
the water with splash and the bark
was deftly driven home. It took. ter
minutes to land him. Not only woulc
the fish accept brown hackles and black
gnats, but they were greedy for any
other fly Of sombre color, and the entire
| party had great luck, all unconsciou.
Of the fact that what they did was I'm
lawful.

ODD USES FOR ONIONS

"The onion is not half appreciated,
remarks a southern housekeeper. This
humble bulb can be used for so many
different dishes that one often forgets
its many excellent remedial qualities.
Onions act as kind of soporifc if
taken in small quantities before retir-
ing. They will be found to be more
appetizing if finely chopped up and laid
between two thin waters or biscuits.
Eaten in this way they are also easily
digested. The reason SO many people
complain OF onions disagreeing with
them is that they eat too much of the
homely vegetable. When they are taken
raw they should be thoroly masticated,
or, better still, the juice of the onion
should be pressed out and taken on
bread or as a sauce.
In this form the onion is splendid for
liver complaints and acts in conse-
quence as a purifier for a dark and
muddy complexion. q.
