Going through the hospitals in our
large cities one is surprised to find such
q large proportion of the patients lying
on those snow-white beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting
or recovering from serious opera
tions.
Why should this be the case? Sim
ply because they have neglected them
selves. Ovarian and womb 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 feeling, pain at left or right OF
the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in

siness, hatulency, displacements OF the
womb or Irregularities. All OF these
symptoms are indications of an UNI
healthy condition of the ovaries or
womb, and if not needed the penalty
has ito be paid by q dangerous operation.
When these symptoms manifest them

That Income Tax Again.

Some years ago Congress enacted
an income tax, which the Supreme
Court decided to be uncOnstitu~
tional because OF some feature
that affected its uniformity. The
resort at that time to an income
tax was popular with the great
mass of people who had incomes
under five Thousand dollars. 1t
fell only upon those who we're
blessed with an income which but
comparatively few enjoy. 1t was
unpopular among the rich, princi-
pally because it was necessarily
iuquisitorial.
The Democratic party in ma
tional convention has repeatedly
called for an income tax, but the
Republican party has objected, for
the not expressed but very we'll
understood reason that to raise
revenue from other sources than
the tariff would imperil the pro.
tected industries. Now, the Pres
ident, in his speech at laying the
corner stone OF the Capitol annex,
hanks back to the income tax
proposition and presents even a
more drastic proposition than was
presented by the Bryan platforms.
He advises "a progressive tax on
all fortunes beyond a given
amount, either given in life or de-
rived or bequeathed upon death
to any individual" Senator Till.

country at large when he says:

stand with the President for the
principle OF dividing large for
tunes and keeping them from be-
coming a menace to the country"
The Presidents speech was such
q surprise to Congress that Re-
publicsns fear an eruption Of
Vesuvius at che White House and
the Democrats are saying, can
other flop over to Democracy"
The general impression is that
the Republicans are stealing an
other Democratic plank, and that
it promises to split the Republican
party in two. The view OF the
alarmists was we'll expressed by
Representative Gardner OF New
Jersey, who says: sit is the most
dangerous, covert, confscatory
proposition that has been thrown
before a restless people in the last

The tattered old battle flags
crossed overhead, the stained old
uniforms; the bullet filed tree

the dear possessions OF the immor-

Bragg; priceless old paintings and
papers; little cradles and rockers

the old silken battle flag which
has draped so many biers OF the
dear departed who outlived the

emblems strangely touch our heart
and sadly, yet proudly, we gaze
upon these priceless relics OF our
Lost Cause which our fathers
bravely fought for thinking they
were right.
But before one case in this
guarded hall we pause longer than
the rest, because little story OF
love and sacrifice and duty is
written there. This little love
story shining through the years
amidst the cannon and grape and
muskets, has caused many an idle
wanderer to stop and read, and
With tear dimmed eyes turn away
a sob on the lips and pain in the

It is little white glove.
A little white glove on which a
tiny paper heart, yellow with age
and stained with blood, Is pinned
across the little heart punctured
by bullet one reads the name
"Belle."
It is yellow with age and bears
the grim mark OF decay and the
earth where it's owner lay stark.
.But still YOU can read on the surface so dim,
The name that was dearest of all names to

You can dream how he traced that emblem OF

As her dear hand trembled in the little white

his love, and she promised to wait
TIL the war was over. A kiss and
