Washington, March 6.-Ambassador White has reported by cable to the state department from Algeciras summar- zing the proceedings at the session of the Moroccan conference yesterday The impression prevails here that the dele gates or at least a majority of them are becoming tired of the prolonged con ference and are anxious to reach results.
 As viewed. here. the last French move as developed through her ally. Russia, is Frances announcement that the time has come to cease debate of an academic character, and to boldly meet the real questions now before the conference, It can be stated the two issues, the lnterna- tional bank and the police have in the opinion of the officials here, become po- litical instead of economic The American delegates.

. The Associated Press dispatch from Pittsburg in yesterdays Age-Herald in which it was rumored that John w. Gates was negotiating for the transfer of the Republic properties, the Colorado Fuel and Iron, etc., to the United States Steel corporation, caused much discussion in Birmingham. No one here familiar with the situation credited the story
 In the first place, everyone in the Bir- mingham district hoped the story was not true. It was felt in general way that with the new interests in control of the Birmingham properties large de- yelopments would result.
 In the second place. it was said that the story was not thinkable at this time at least-because the United States Steel had it's hands more than full and because the new owners of the Republic-Tennes- sec were more than satisfied that they ~-,ade a profitable investment.

pins. pieces of brass, earth, coal. but

New Ideas About FARMING.

Nothing can contribute more to the
advancement Of agriculture than the
eradication Of the old, stupid notion
that farming is a mere physical drudg-
cry and to be despised, and the incul-
cation of the truth that farming is a
scientific pursuit entitled to as much
respect and consideration as any other
occupation when there is devoted to
1t the amount OF scientific knowledge
and intelligent judgment and discrimi-
nation to which the business is entitl-
ed. To the extent that the farmer
boy and farmer girl of Minnesota

cupation in that degree is the business

ALI women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irrcgularity or
suppression, causing bacllache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.

back and head are aching, she is so
tired she can hardly drag about or

some arrangement of the female or
