Mrs. Pinkham claims that there ls a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which SO deeenerated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties.
felt weak and nervous, and nothing That ate
tasted good and it caused a disturbance in my
stomach. tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. was ad'
yised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and III
fewdavs began to enjoy and properly dlges'
nv food. My recovery was rapid, and III
FIVE weeks was well woman. have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unqual1
fed endorsement or has such record
of cures of female troubles, as has Lydis
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

solution. A simple method is to sub
stitute for the usual vertical antenna
employed as radiator or absorber of
the waves, a straight horizontal con-
ductor, placed at comparatively small
elevation above the surface of the
ground or the water. Experience
shows that the radiation reaches a
maximum in the vertical plane of this
horizontal wire, and gradually dies
ont on each side of it. Similarly at
the receiving station the maximum
effect of the waves is felt in the verti-
cal plane of the horizontal absorbing
conductor. To attune the transmit
ting and receiving apparatus, their
conductors are pointed in the sane
direction.

employment of such an expert, the
committee secured the services of Mr..

due University, Lafayette, Indiana,
who came to Richmond and made the

Z ing to the completeness of the report
and the general interest taken ia the
Municipal Plant question, he thought
that 1t would be wise to have 1000 or
$500 copies of the report printed. He
put this In the form of motion,
which was carried. Councilman
Brown, O'Neal and Bartel were named
as committee to have the report
printed.
The report of the committee, as pre-
Bented to council, follows:
To the Mayor and Common Council
of the city of Richmond:
Your committee, appointed for the
purpose of making an investigation in
to the condition and prospects Of the
municipal electric lighting plant OF
this city with a view to reaching q
CONCLUSION rs to whether or not GER

light plant should be accepted and
the plant sold, begs to submit the fol-
lowing report:
The Proposition now Pending.
On the second day of April, 1906,
Mr.. Witherby, q representative of the

ing proposition for the purchase of the

known to the public.
The Scope Of Inquiry.
Upon the receipt of Mr.. Witherby's
communication, the Council decided
that a committee should investigate
the conditions and prospects of the

ton of Council stated that the investi-
eating committee should consist OF

mercial Club Of the City of Richmond

torney. The three members of the

witch and John G. Bayer; the three

cial Club were Jesse, 8. Reeves, Z. w
Craighead and T. III. Hill; the three
members appointed by the South

with Messrs Joseph s. Zeller, John
F. Davenport and William HI. Rosa,

Works and Mr. A. M. Gardner, the city
attorney, composed the general COM
mittee of investigation with the ex-
ception that Mr.. Fl. Englebert has
been appointed upon said committee
to serve In the place of Mr.. John G.
Bayer whose term in council has ex-
pired The committee, as constituted,
met and selected Henry w. Deuker as
its Chairman, and undertook the In
vestigation of the general conditions
of the light plant with special refer
ence to the question raised by the
proposition of Mr.. Witherby herein
before set out. An,
- The committee determined that in
order to arrive at correct idea of the
financial condition of the plant it was
