tortoise surprfsed the Cook.

The tortoise is great sleeper. One
was a domestic pet in an English
house, and when his time for hiber-
mating came he selected a corner of
the dim coal cellar for his winter
quarters. A new cook was engaged
soon after who knew nothing of tor
toises. In a few months the tortoise
woke up and sailed forth Screams
soon broke the kitchens calm. On
entering that department, the lady of
the house found the cook gazing in
awestruck wonder, and exclaiming
with unsteady hand she pointed to
the tortoise: MY conscience, Look

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children it ruins child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound I;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.

LEGISLATORS Who Were Here Oppose
The Plan
HAVE NOT ENOUGH CoNV|CTs TO WORK
HIGH COST OF INSTALLATION
WITH PROBABLE SMALL OUT
PUT BLOCKS ENTERPRISE.

Because it would furnish only a
percentage of the sacks needed by
farmers, of the insufficient number OF
convicts in the Oregon penitentiary,
and the high cost of installing the
plant. Oregon legislators are not very
enthusiastic over the plan to subst1-
tute a jute mill for the foundry in the
Oregon penal institution at Salem.
This opinion was expressed to rep
resentatives of Oregon newspapers
by Oregon legislators in Pendleton af-
ter the recent visit to the Washing
ton jute mill. Says the Journal:
Learned Too Much.
members of the party stated that
the trip had developed facts which are
likely to defeat the movement to
supplant the stove factory in the Sa-
lem penitentiary with a jute mill.
1.-THE contention is that a mill that
Oregon farmers would require the la
Dor of nearly 10 times as many con-
victs as the state has at her disposal
and that the installation of such a
mill would entail the cost of more
than 100000. To install such a plant
as is now in operation in Walla WAL
la would cost probably $125,000, while
its maximum output would be only
II per cent of the number of sacks
used in the state.
Union Labor Favors 1t.
"The agitation for a jute mill at
Salem was started by the farming in
terests of eastern Oregon and it is
understood that the movement will
be backed by the union labor inter-
ests of all parts of the state The
farmers want cheaper sacks and the
union labor people want the convict
labor applied in industries which will
not bring it into competition with free
labor.
Members of the legislative party
which arrived mere tonight, however,
say that the prospects for the
change of industries at Salem are
very gloomy. They point to the fact
that the manufacture of only a small
fraction of the number of sacks
needed would be of no benefit to the
farming interests at large as if would
not affect the market Another ad-
verse argument is that the stove fac

Although the ballots have all been
