WHY MANY WOMEN SUFFER
FROM CONSTIPATION.
The Natural Remedy.

The delicate and intricate character
of the female organs make them most
susceptible to irregularity, and for the
same reason it is most important that
each one should be kept in condition
to perform itG functions in a normal
manner. At all of the special leriods
when womankind is performing the
functions peculiar to her sex there is a
decided tendency to sluggishness of
the bowels. Nature then requires a
gentle assistant. Not powerful and ex-
pensive drugs, that must be taken at
frequent intervals and are so drastic
as to damage the tender lining of the
stomach and bowels and do more harm
than good, but pure and harmless
laxative such as is the famous Natural
Mineral Water-HUNYADI JANOS-

Countless physicians and druggists

ASTONISHING RESULTS

Follow Each New Discovery of Science.
The great strides that medical SCI
ence. has made in the last few years
is due to the germ theory. When the
germ of a disease has been discov-
cred, the doctors have not been slow
in finding drug to kill it. In a few
years, it will be rare to find a bald
headed man or woman. The falling
out Of the hair is due to a dandruff
germ, and now it has been discovered
how to kill this germ. The remedy
used is called Newbro's Herpicide. Its
success has been marvellous. Not a

Dr.. Benadom Bound Over.-Shortly
before o'clock yesterday afternoon
Justice Ditzen closed the preliminary
hearing in the case of the state VS.. DR..
w A. Benadom, in which the defend
ant was charged with practicing with
out license. by binding Dr. Benadom
over to the grand jury. His present
bond in the sum of $500, signed by
Henry Runge, was allowed to stand
until the case shall be taken up for
investigation by the grand jury. JUS
tice Ditzen stated that from what he
had heard, he was satisfied that the
defendant had accomplished much good
at his sanitariu:n and that he regretted
being obliged to bind him over, but
under the law he felt compelled to
take this course. The most damaging
evidence secured against the defend
ant was his own admission upon cross
examination by the county attorney
that he had performed operations with
out the assistance of his father. The
state statute provides that a student
of medicine or surgery, acting under
preceptor, may prescribe, but does
not stipulate that he may operate. The
side of the prosecution was therefore
materially strengthened by the secur
ing of this admission.

PEPPER WILL CASE ENDS.
Plaintiffs Withdraw, Admitting Chris
tan Cornelius Right to Request.

st. Louis, Dec 1S.-The suit to
break the will of the late Christian
Peper, millionaire tobacco manufac-
turer, which has been on trial for the
past week in the circuit court, came
to a sudden termination Monday by
the plaintiffs withdrawing from their
suit.
Christian Cornelius, known as
PEPPER" had long been generally sup
posed to be a son OF Christian PEPPER.
The dissatisfaction with the will was
on account of the bequest to Cor
nelius, who was alleged to have no
legal or moral claim on Christian
Peper's bounty. His share, under the
will, in the 100000 estate was sub
stantially one-sixth of the stock Of
the tobacco company and one-twelfth
of the other property. The suit was
terminated after conference of the
plaintiffs, who decided to admit Chris
tian Cornelius right to share in the
estate.

Wealthiest In the World.

The figures recently made public by
the census authorities at Washington
place the aggregate wealth OF the
United States, real and personal, in
1904, at $1O6.SS1, 415,009. Inasmuch
as present methods of ascertaining
facts and Of computing results are far
better than ever before, it may be as
sumed that these figures are fairly
accurate. Taking them as reliable
and using the ratio of increase ap.
piled to preceding computations, the
wealth of the country now would be
Sic, 900, 000, 900. This puts the United
States wholly by itself, says the Troy
News, with possessions valued at
double those of its nearest competitor
and far distancing other great ma
lions. Statistics of this sort relating
to foreign countries are largely con-
lecture, but the highest figures given
by those recognized as authorities are
as follows: Great Britain, $58, 20O.'
O00, 900; France, $4,000, 100000; Ger
many, $4,000, 100000; Russia. $685.

the United States the richest country
In the world, but its wealth is increas'
ing more rapidly than that OF any
other.

Moody Takes Seat on Supreme
Bench.

Washington, Dec. 18.-Oscar 8.
Straus of New York Monday was in
Quoted into the Office of secretary of
the department of commerce and la
Dor, in pursuance of the rearrange-
ment of the cabinet recently made by
President Roosevelt. The ceremony
incident to the retirement of Secre-
tary Metcalf, who has been at the
head of the department since July 1,
1905, and the induction into Office Of
Secretary Straus took place shortly
after nine o'clock in the secretary's
offices at the department. The oath
of Office was administered to Mr..
Straus by Frank H. Larned, chief
clerk of the bureau of immigration.
Secretary Metcalf arrived at the
navy department in company with
Secretary Bonaparte at 1915 o'clock
The oath of Office was administered
by Solicitor Hannah of the navy de-
partment. Secretary Bonaparte in
a brief address congratulated the new
secretary, who briefly responded. The
secretary then received the officers
and employees of the navy depart
ment.
At IL o'clock Charles j. Bonaparte,
the retiring secretary of the navy,
took the prescribed oath as attorney
general of the United States, and i'm
mediately entered upon his new du-
ties. The obligation was admins
tered by Mr.. Sornborger, the ap-
pointment clerk of the department OF
justice, in the presence of his prede-
cessor, William K Moody, the as
sistant attorney general, the solicitor
general and the other principal Of
ficers of the department of justice.
Mr.. Moody was the first to offer his
congratulations to the new attorney
general and wished him a most sue
cessful administration. Attorney Gen.
eral Bonaparte in a few appropriate
words declared that he would be
guided in the performance of his du-
ties by the example and counsel of
his predecessor.
William H. Moody, formerly at
torney general, also entered upon his
duties Monday as an associate JUS
tice of the supreme court of the
United States, thus bringing the
court up to its full membership. He
was indicted into office at the begin
ming of Mondays sitting of the court

The scheme for railroad from ST.
IBERIA to Alaska, which has been dis.
cussed as Russian enterprise, comes
up in the guise of an American
scheme. There has just been incor-
porated in New Jersey The Trans
Alaska-Siberian Railway company,
which purposes to construct a road
from Alaska to Siberia, with tunnel
under Bering strait The under
taking is rather ambitious, as the
main line is to be $3.50 miles long.
with branches aggregating $3.50 miles.
The American company is an offshoot
of the European organization. The
fact that those interested take the
trouble and go to the expense Of in
cooperating here shows that there are
men with money who have faith in q
plan which many have been inclined
to regard as chimerical.

The Spaniard of To-day.

1 find the typical Spaniard OF today
In an Aragonese peasant, elderly but
1.-the, whom I lately saw Jump from
the train at little country station to
examine a very complicated French
agricultural machine drawn up in a
siding, writes Havelock Ellis, in At
iantic, he looked at it above and be-
low with wrinkled brows and intent
eyes, he ran all round it, he clearly
could not quite make it out; but there
was no flippancy or indifference in his
attitude towards this new, strange
thing; he would never rest, one felt,
until he reached the meaning of it..
And the grief of many of us will be
that in this eager thirst for novelties
the Spaniard will cast aside not few
of the things which now draw US to
Spain.
