All 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 irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day. to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is so
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement of the female Or
ganism.
Miss F. Orser, of "A Warrent ton Street.
Boston, tells women how to avoid such
suffering; she writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham-
~ suffered misery for several years with
female irregularities. My back ached; had

Mr.. A. C. Maathaei Loses His Foot.

IT is with great regret that we note
the serious misfortune that has over
taken our good and esteemed friend,
Mr.. August C. Matthaei, familisrly
greeted as"Gus" by his many friends,
who has been the faithful and accomo-
dating baggage agent of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad company at this sta
ton, for the last 80 years. Mr.. Matthaei
has been suffering, more or less, for some
time, with his toes, but stuck to his
duties until about week ago, when he
was oblige to Iay off. DR.. McSherry
was called to treat his foot, and at once
discovered a gangrenous condition, and
every evidence of blood poisoning, de-
cided that it would be necessary, in or
der to save his life, to amputate his
left limb which was done on Thurs
day afternoon, about four inches above
the ankle. The operation was very sue
cessfully performed by DR.. Sponseller,
assisted by Drs. McSherry and Sencin-
diver. He is getting along very nicely,
and his physicians confidently expect
his recovery, which is grateful news
to his wide circle of warm friends.

BIRD MUSIC ON THE SEA.
Steerage Passengers Entertained by
the Singing Of $4,000
Canaries.

BY thrilling sweet melodies Of their
different lands $4,000 birds mostly
songsters, kept the steerage passengers
of the Hamburg-liner Patricia happy
from the first day after it left Dover un-
til it reached New York. There were
200 Russian Jews in the steerage, fiee-
ing from Che ill-fated empire, and the
little songsters did much to keep them
happy during the voyage. The lot was
consigned to big wholesale dealer
for the holidays and included 10000
canaries brought from Australia, the
South sea and some from England.
From the time they were Grated until
the steamer had left Dover not note
came from the little throats Of the S6,-
600 birds. The entire lot seemed to be
disconsolate Toward noon, when the
ship had left Dover, she struck terrific
gale and had to lay up for several hours.
When the storm was at its height the
entire lot broke out in song, and from
that moment until within few hours
before the steamer reached the Sandy
Hook bar there was music Of the sweet
est variety In the steerage.

BONUS NOTES
NOT Good
An important Oklahoma De-
CisiOn Which May Affect
Indian Territory.


Guthrie, 0. T., Jan. s-The "bonus
note" proposition, which has been a
vexed question in Oklahoma courts,
came up in a slightly different form
in case which was decided by the
supreme court Yesterday, but again
went against the holder Of the note.
w. H. Coyle and U. @. Guss sued L.
K. McGuffin on a note for $3.50, made
payable when the Santa Re railroad
should build into Cushing, and obtain
ed Judgment in the district court Of
Payne county.
Inasmuch as Guss is a director OF
the Eastern Oklahoma Railroad com
pany, which built the Santa Fe line
into Cushing, the supreme court holds
that a contract whereby an official OF
a company is to receive personal gain,
as the result of that company's acts is
contrary to public policy and void,
and the case accordingly was reversed
and remanded.

ANCIENT ENGINEERS FEAT.
Reservoir Built for Jerusalem Water
Supply $500 Years
Ago.

King Hezekiah it seems, was trou-
bled over the bad water of Jerusalem
about $500 years ago, and built res
srvoir outside the city gates for spring
water, which was brought thither in
a tunnel, the construction Of which
rivals the famous Simplon.
DR.. Bertholet, of the University Of
Basle, has identified this ancient en-
cheering masterpiece One of the
sirach manuscripts Of this date states:
"Hezekiah fortified his city by bring
ing water thereto and he bored
through the solid rock by means Of
bronze, and he collected the water in
a reservoir"
The tunnel leads into the pool OF
Sloan and Is $50 yards long. Work
was carried on from both ends, as is
proved by an inscription in the tunnel
and by the marks of boring tools,
picks, ETC., which show the direction
in which the excavation was made.
What instruments were used for de-
termining levels and directions, and
how were errors detected? Allowing
for the scientific and practical limita-
tions suffered by these ancient Jew
ish engineers, their achievement ex-
cells the work OF the modern Swiss
and italian experts who executed the
Simplon.

To-day we want to talk to
you about sCatarrh cures"

During The past few months NC have
been publishing what some 81 our good
friends have called heart-to-heart talks
on patent medicines

intended. There can't be anything more

than his ailn'cnt and the remedies he or

Our talks have been shcart-to-heaft. I,
Every word we have printed has been
written IN absolute earnestness and SIM
cerity, and Judging from what our GUS
TONERS tell rs, we have not been talking
IN vain. We are convinced that our.
irankness has been appreciated. and that
our suggestions have been welcomed
which naturally encourages us to con-
Time.
To-day. and perhaps for some time 10
come, we want TO talk about that big
class OF remedies known generally as
"catarrh cures
Broadly speaking these are the patent
medicines that have been the chief tar
gets Tor the attacks OF the Ladies'
Home Journal. Golfers Weekly" and
other magazines which are waging such
lively warfare against patent medicine
abuses.
As we have pointed ont in previous
talks, it is not our business to pass judg-
ment on the crusade OF these we'll
known, highly-respected publications.
The public alone must be the Judge and
jury. Our business. as we see it, is to
carry in stock a complete line Of patent
medicines, and 10 sell those medicines at
the lowest possible price.

Are you not safer in taking our word

TO rely on the printed statement Of a pa
tent medicine manufacturer. whom YOU
never even saw and probably never will?
Common sense most empbaticaIly tells
you that we cannot afford 10 depart one
hairs breadth from the rigid truth.
None of us can deny that there is such
disease known as 'catarrh." Those
who have It, or who have had il, know
that II is one Of the hardest diseases to
cure.
Perhaps the worst thing about catarrh
IS ITS prevalence. Almost everyone
especially in climate like ours has
catarrh in some form or another. That is
what has made the catarrh cure bush
ness so profitable. There are so many
thousands OF cases of the disease and it is
so hard TO cure. that the patent medicine
manufacturers have reaped a harvest i'm
preparing remedies that appeal to this
large class of sufferers
One of the most serious things about
catarrh IS that ii breaks down the sys-
tenn. so that the sufferer becomes prey
to other diseases. This fact has led the
proprietors OF so many "catarrh cures"
10 advertise their remedies as a specific
for almost every disease under the sun
We have ONE catarrh cure that we
ere willing TO say TO you; 1--WE know
this is all right Take il home and use it
with the full assurance that If it does not
cure you, You can bring it back to us
and we will promptly refund your
money! That eatarrh cure is
