More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt YOU feel
far from we'll. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything. backache,
bearing-down pains, fiatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result
The never failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald of Woodbridge,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The great white plague leaves no
nation on the earth untouched by its
scourge of death, and wide as the
world is the fight which is being made
upon this dread disease. On Novem-
Der IA next there will meet in New
York city, for three days session,

hemisphe-es who have entered the

Secretary Root, of the state depart

all the diplomatic officers of the Unit
ed States, asking them to reinforce
the invitations delivered by the ex-
ecutive committee of the American
international Congress on Tuberculo-
ais to the various nations to send Off
ciai representation to this next ses-
sion of the congress.
In response to this communication
the United States diplomats in this
hemisphere and in Europe have sue
ceeded in enlisting the interest of
medical and scientific men in what
medico-sanitary campaigns of history.
Responses daily received by Acting
Secretary Bacon, in Washington, and
by managers of the congress in New
York indicate that Europe as well as
South and Central America will be
ably represented.

chants gang aft gley," for they I'M
derstand better than anyone else the
uncertainty as to the success of any
new tints and new designs in materials
in winning the popular favor. One of
the novelties may fail entirely, and
may be popular, third may be chic
for to be popular and to be chic mean
two very different things, and things
quite incompatible. A color or mate
rial may be smiled upon by the ultra
modish at the opening of the season
and may promptly find favor with the
crowd.
Promptly the color becomes epidem-

percentage of American women, and
by no means small percentage, will
always jump at the first novelties in
stead of waiting to see what colors and
materials win acceptance with the few
who keep closely in touch with fash
ions best.
The reds have distinct importance
upon the manufacturers color cards,
and long line of reds, some of them
exceedingly beautiful, are offered in
the fall materials. The so-called ruby
colorings, clear, yet without crudeness
as are all of the colorings represent
ed in first-class materials, now that the
Il ~ cfc
are emphasized, and the nine reds,
many of which, like the nine dregs, are
off the clear tones, bid fair to become
very popular.
Numerous green's are confidently ad-
vanced, particular emphasis being laid
though there is some difference of
opinion as to the part brown is to play
in the seasons modes many shades of
this color are in evidence and some
buyers who usually know whereof they
speak expect the browns to have a
leading role. Several warm browns of
golden tinge, mahogany tint and the
dead leaf colorings all promise well.
And as for black all indications point
to such black season as we have not
had in many years.
Striped effects are to figure largely
among the coming modes, and novel
ty in black goods will be the striped
effect produced wholly by the differ
ence in fabric.
Checks and plaids will receive recog-
milton, but the materials in these de-
signs already shown indicate a ten
dency toward effects trifle more pro-
nounced than those of the gray checks

Beautiful tartan plaids and plaids Of
tartan effect, but in colorings to which
no clan will lay claim, are represent

Much is said about the increasing
simplicity and severity in the tailored
street costume, and it is unquestion-
able that the severe tailor-made suit
will have its place. Already one hears
of broadcloth costumes whose skirts
are trimmed in fat, shaped 1ounces,
embroidered to match the embroidery
upon collar and cuffs of the fanciful
| little coat, and of costumes in which
satin and broadcloth are cleverly COM
bined, the satin forming the founda-
ton of the frock, while cloth of the
same shade is lavishly used for trim
ming.
Satin promises to have great sue
| cess and satin finish appears upon
many of the loveliest silks and sheer
silken stuffs, while satin stripes, satin
dots, ETC., enter into many of the fancy
combination materials, such as the
satin and Grape stripes and the satin
and silk mousseline stripes already
| noted.
For the dressy coat and skirt suits
| it is probable that the bolerO, whose
decline is once more heralded, will be
as popular as ever, and there will be
loose, picturesque little paletOt and
mantle effects, such as have been seen
| in the summer costumes. The quaint
draped wrap recalling the days of the
shawl is too recent favorite in Paris
to be dropped merely because of a
change of season, and we shall see
these effects in cloth and velvet and
| fur
Short WASTED coats, too, will be a
legacy from summer to winter, and
| these will have skirts of varying
lengths, from the short hip length
basque to the long, enveloping skirts
of the carriage and theater coat. The
short wasted back combined with
| fronts, giving a natural waist line, is
| not unbecoming, even to the woman of
large hips, if it be cleverly cut and
hung; but it does need very skillful
handling.
In our illustration we show two very
smart street costumes. The one with
the plain skirt is of rich bronze cordu-
roy velveteen, with very smart revers
and tabs of cream MORE, and the over
lay of very fine guipure lace on the
bodice just supplies the happy touch
| that enhances the charm of the gown.
The other costume is very effective

not become dangerous as germ bear
ers by short and passing use of pa
tient, but by long and frequent use
if sanitary precautions are ignored.
This should be emphasized to guard
against an unnecessary and disturb
ing panic among the masses.
Next to such dwellings, special
sanitariums, under certain conditions,
form the greatest danger for the ag-
gravation and dissemination of con-
sumption. Thousands of patients, en-
joying many hygienic advantages at
home, are bundled off to sanitariums
and return in miserable condition,
or not at all. Experience teaches that
the older a sanitarium the more dan

and the community in which it is 10.

CAS- for the poison germ itself, it
appears to me that the attemsts of
Koch to infuse cattle with human
tuberculosis failed because he used
virus not thoroughly fermented or not
fully putretieG. If he had taken a cow
into the sick chamber in one of our
sanitariums known for its infectious
character, left her there for a time
and permitted her to lick the soiled
beds, linen and body of the deceased
he might have had a better success.
Whether the vehicles or the microbes,
or both, undergo a change therein is
not as yet known, nor has the question
as yet been seriously entertained.
"The increase of physical intellec
tual and moral degeneration in mod.

what best measures may be adopted
to prevent hereditary consumption.
The United States has proceeded in
this with great energy, which is not
surprising. The senile trend charac-
terizing many European conditions is
wanting in that virile empire of in
itiation. The law OF Michigan is most
vigorous against the perils of hered-
lty. 1t enacts that all lunatics, epilep-
tics and thrice convicted criminals
must be eplasculated before leaving
the hospitals. Besides this many

Odds and Ends of Fashion Talk

Moire is being vigorously pushed by
the manufacturers, but indications
point to the probability that it will be

disposed to favor whole frocks of this
material.
Charming evening gowns made of
the exquisite pointed chiffon cloths
with garland borders and bands.
These are made in 60-inch widths, and
will be popular.
With the continuation of the rage
for laces black silk lace is acquiring
an unprecedented prestige.
One noticeable feature of the win
ter frock will be the use of heavy cush-
ion embroidery, and the buttons Of
carved ivory and of tortoise shell SO
popular in Paris are certain to gain
favor among those who can afford the
luxury.
In new waist fannels many attrac-
tive striped effects will be offered, the
color scheme often including many
colors, but the blending bringing them
into inconspicuous harmony.
And now we are to haze the
trimmed pockets, which are features
of some of the newest French coats
OF dressy character.
Plaid cloth will be popular for fall
costumes and we show herewith a
novel design for gown done in plaid
and plain cloth. The plaid combina-
ton is dark green, blue and black and
the plain cloth blue, or green may be
used if preferred, for the making of
the panels on bodice and skirt, while
little lapels, cuffs and buttons of black
satin will give smart finish. The eff
feft can be varied by having the waist

"ToUcHINEss" OF WIRELESS.
Like Some People 1t Is Sensitive to the
Least Variations of Conditions.

Wireless telegraphy is compared by
writer in Cosmos to a good but ex-
citable man, capable of doing excel
lent work, but apt to fly off the
handle" on the slightest provocation
This smile is suggested by a recent
communication in Drudes Annalen, in
which Mr.. Sachs, a German expert
menter, reports on the way in which
space-telegraphy is affected by en-
vironments of various kinds. From
Sachs results it would appear that
wireless is very delicate and suscepti-
BILE to outside influences. SAYS the
writer in Cosmos:
by placing the transmitting and re-
ceiving apparatus at different heights
above the ground he found that the
transmission is much better at a GER
tain height than near the earth. The
augmentation of effect with height
proves that the conductibility of the
earth interferes, and that the electro
magnetic energy is powerfully alb
sorbed and slightly reflected. Besides,
it is necessary to take into account
the length of waves employed; for
short waves transmitted over terra
firma the author concludes that the
influence Of the earth is always clearly
unfavorable. On the contrary, if the
Herizan waves used are of great
length, the earth, and especially the
sea, may be sufficiently conducting to
| aid transmission to an important de-
glye. The practical use of the system
has already shown the fact that COM
munication over the sea is easier than
over continents.
Mr.. Sachs, continuing his expert
ments along this line, has shown that
the neighborhood of human beings
acts unfa 'orably on the transmission
and especially the reception of sig
nails. Whence it would appear that,
although the new telegrapny is doubt
less OF great service to humanity, it is
certainly very delicate and suscepti.

cellent at bottom, but who are affected

every stage and symptom of the dread
