Going through the hospitals in our large cities one is surprised to find such . large proportion of the patients lying on those snow-white beds women and girls, who are either awaiting or recovering from serious operations.
 Why should this be the case? Sim. ply because they have neglected them selves. Female troubles are certainly on the increase among the women of this country-they creep upon them unawares, but every one of those patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in that bearing down feel ing, pain at left or right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back. dizziness, hatulency, dis placements of the organs or irregular. lties. All of these symptoms are indi- cations of an unhealthy condition of the female organs, and if not needed the penalty has to be paid by a danger ous operation. When these symptoms manifest themselves, do not drag along until you are obliged to go to the hos pital and submit to an operation but remember that Lydia E.

 As an unusually large attendance is expected at the general convention the Committee on Arrangements has deci- ded to issue this circular letter to the Division Presidents. requesting that it's contents he communicated to the vari- ous chapters and published in leading newspapers. The Committee would urge all delegates, at an early date. to apply for rooms to the manager of the Great southern Hotel. or if they de sire rooms in private houses or small CT hotels to apply to Mrs. H.

 The rates at the Great Southern lio- tel will be $l and $150 per day; at the other houses and at the Beach Ho- tel (which is very near the Great Southernb rooms will be 50 cents. or with breakfast 15 cents per day.
 In a town the size of Gulfport, the accommodation is naturally more linn itc1 than in he larger cities where our conventions have heretofore been held: therefore the 'Committe cannot too strongly urge upon the delegates. the importance of observing the sug-

Second is the SeiSmometer, the func-

without an indication of its direction.
The third instrument is the seiSmo-

The complementary part of the in

levers connecting an astatically sus-
