All! the people. What OF them? Not one
pair of lovers in 100 could ever expect to

The cost OF proper houses would check
marriages or check the making Of good
homes, and either one OF these things
would be a serious injury to the state. Not

plating marriage today could afford to pay
the rent of even the smallest house that
would pass the inspection of any board

be published in South Omaha and that such
was the special provision Of the charter.
The other side contended that the charter
provision did not in any manner repeal the
provisions of the Slocumb law; that they
were both either special laws or they were
both general laws and therefore in con-
hict The prior law it was contended would
hold unless the latter law specifically re-
pealed the provisions of the former. After
some discussion Of the question the board
decided on Thursday of the coming week
for it's decision of tine question Both par

While serving in the islands Kirk

conviction and sentence very hard.

Manila attempted to commit suicide. A
close watch has been kept on him
since, and although he has made no
further attempt to take his life, he
has shown clearly that he feels the
disgrace he has brought upon himself.

There are cases where an operation
is the only resource, but when one con-
siders the great number of cases of
menacing female troubles cured by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound after physicians have advised
operations, no woman should submit to
one without first trying the Vegetable
Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass, for advice, which is free.
Miss Margret Merkley, of 275 Third
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"Loss of strength, extreme nervousness,
shooting pains through the pelvic organs,
bearing down pains and cramps compelled
me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after
making an examination, said had a female
trouble and liberation and advised an opera
ton To this strongly OF jected and decided
to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound The liberation quickly healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared and l am
once more strong, vigorous and well"
Female troubles are steadily on the
increase among women. If the month

quent and excessive-if you have pain
or swelling low down in the left side,
bearing down pains, don't neglect your
self: try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
