Women at Strenuous Tasks.

On the western coast of the United
States, at Monterey, Cal. Mrs. Fish
keeps the lamps lighted in the Point
Pinas lighthouse. On the eastern
coast, at South Portland, Me, Mrs.
Gordon earns her living by working
as deep-sea diver. Sprinkled over
the country between these two wom-
en- are thousands of other members
of the female sex who deserve to be
enrolled as auxiliaries to Mr.. Kip
ling's corps of "Unafrad Gentle
men" And then, from the woman in
Utah who is sheriff and hangs muir
derers, to the woman in Chicago who
bosses a gang of Italian street clean
ers, he tells the role of women who
are engaged in strenuous occupations
in the United States. Wherever man
has tried to wrest a living from I'M
willing nature there woman has also
left the impress of her daring ex-
plots -Technical World.

While no woman is entirety free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer SO severely. This is a
severe strain on Il woman's vitality
When pain exists something is wrong
which should be set right or it will
lead to a serious arrangement of the
who'll female organism.
Thousands of women have testified
in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham
that Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound overcomes womans special
pains and Irregularities.
1t provides safe and sure way of
escape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases
The two following letters tell so con-
vincingly what Lydia f, Pinkham' S
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes, of $40 n. Division
Street, Buffalo, N. Y, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine
for women. | suffered misery for years with
painful periods, headaches and bearing down
pains I consulted two different physicians
but failed to get any relief. Afrend from the
east advised me to try lydia +. Pinkham's

RUGBY FOOTBALL NOT
POPULAR IN FAR WEST
Game Called a Failure and Talks Of
Boycott by College Students
Is Spread.

Football coaches in the middle west
have been watching the course of Rug
by football at the universities of Le-
land Stanford and California, i'm
posed on the students of those institu-
tons by their presidents and the ath.
Ietic councils.
From Berkeley, Cal, comes a story
to the effect that the Rugby game
has been a failure and that the stu
dents will boycott it after this year if
it is foisted upon them another seosOn.
For the balance of this season, it is
said, the students will support the
teams, for they are made up of fellow
students, and it is desired to give the
new game fair show. But after the
season ends they will refuse to play
again, will denounce the game and
will petition President Benjamin Ide
Wheeler of the University of Califor-
mia, who caused the introduction of
the game, to erase it from the calen-
dar of sports of both California and
Stanford 1t is said that if DR.. Wheel
er refuses to listen to this petition the
players will lay down their football
togs and refuse to appear next sea
son, and that they will be backed by
a vast majority of the students at the
two institutions.
There has been talk and some eff
fort to introduce the Rugby game
among the members of the big nine
in place of the present gridiron game,
and for this reason the success or fail.
ure of the attempt in California has
been watched with more than ordinary
interest in this part of the country.
But the attempts here to introduce the
game have not been successful and
now that both California and Stanford
are preparing to turn it down II is
hardly likely to be urged in this quar-
ter.

couple of schools when l was in Cali
