Won are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for

The relation of the nerves and gem
erative organs in woman is SO close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous
arise from some arrangement OF the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness
irritability spirits easily aftected, SO
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps pain in the omln

loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia; a
tendency to cry at the least provoca-
tion-all these point to pros
tration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia

When Snow on the sun-plaI Falls.

When snow on the sun-diaI falls,
And the clinging leaves are numb,
And bitter the marsh wind calls
To river and songbird dumb;
When the sheep draw close in the fold,
And the biting mistrals blow,
Then the heart. as a rosary told,
Finds it's love of the long ago.
l make no count of the hour
While the sun-dial stands in the snow;
But the mind holds its hardy flower
Where the arbor-vitaes grow.
The waves no more return,
Wher the icebound currents flow:
Still afresh does the hearth-brand burn
With the wood of some long ago.
AS a carrier-dove through the skies
Seeks the path which her message
knew,
So my heart. beloved, tries
Its homing flight toward youI
When snow IN the sun-dial lies,
And the heart and the year seem cold,
As the carrier-pigeon flies

FARMERS GO ON STRIKE
Two Hundred Thousand Farmers
Expected to Unite in Demanding
Equitable Prices For Produce.

Indianapolis, Ind A strike
Of the 100000 farmers, composing the
American Society of Equity, an organi-
cation with headquarters in Indianapo-
lis, has been called for March l. Every
one who responds to this call will agree
to withhold from marketing any agri-
cultural products excepting at prices
that are up to the level that has been
agreed as equitable by the officials of
this organization.
This organization claims that the pro-
Queer ought TO get at least one dollar
bushel for wheat, no matter what may
be the size of the crop. The call for
the strike sets forth minimum selling
price on all farm products, prices which
the agricultural strikers claim they are
entitled to and can get If they stand to-
gether.
Kansas and Minnesota are being
flooded with copies Of this call. II is
figured by the officials Of the organiza-
tion that if these states should hold out
for the higher price the movement win
prove a success.

1t is contended here that not salts
fed with refusing what Great Britain

Morocco, Germany has placed another
obstacle in the way Of settlement by
making impossible suggestions in re-

belief in Great Britain Is that all the

to create a better feeling between their
respective countries are being undone

Springllke weather stimulates job

actual planting has been done. Ship
ments on orders are heavier than ever
before, and no complaints of freight
congestion are heard. At practically
all points an early and long spring sea-
son is predicted. At the same time
there is an air Of conservatism as to

the larger stocks CT winter goods car

DAVID B. HENDERSON DEAD
The Former Speaker of the National
House of Representatives Fell
a Victim To Paresis.

Dubuque. Ia.-Col and former

tional house of representatives died
at two o'clock Sunday afternoon at the
Mercy hospital, of paresis, which at
tackled him nine months ago. He be-
gan to sink FRIDAY afternoon, rallied

ago, except on Friday, when he partly
regained his mental faculties. Col.

last May, and his condition grew SO
grave that he was removed to a hos
pital in September. His condition re-
manned unchanged, except for the usual
progress of such a disease, till a week
ago last Friday, when he suffered an
other stroke, which resulted in total
blindness. The former speaker failed
rapidly, both physically and mentally
until Friday, when his mental powers
returned for a few hours, followed by
relapse which ended in death. The
funeral will be held next Thursday,
with services in the Episcopal church,
under the auspices of the Grand Army
or the Republic Former Congressman
George d. Perkins, of Sioux City, will
deliver an eulogy. The body is to lie
in state on Thursday at the church.
