German Tariff A Menace.

What is to be done by this country
to meet the conditions which are to be
imposed on America by the new tariH
regulations of Germany is the question
which Alvin III. Sanders, of Chicago,
chairman of the executive committee
of the Reciprocity Tariff League, has
come to Washington to discuss with
President Roosevelt and with Senators
and representatives in Congress.
Mr.. Sanders called at the White
House today to see the President. He
says that both the farmers and the
manufacturers of the West and Middle
West are vitality concerned over the
new German tariffs, which are to be-
come effective an Mar. 1.
If nothing should be done by this
Government to meet the new situation
Mr.. Sanders says the farmes, stock
raisers and manufacturers of America
will lose in export trade to Germany
alone tens of millions annually.

To be such a successful wife, to re-
tain the love and admiration of her
husband, to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be a woman's
constant study.
If a woman finds that her energies
are tagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, irregularities
or the blues. she should start at once
to build up her system by tonic with
specific powers. such as Lydia T.. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.
Following we publish by request a
letter from young wife:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
ever since my child was born have suf-
fered, as hope few women ever have with in
fammation, female weakness, bearing down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. 1t
affected my stomach so | could not enjoy my
meals, and half my time was spent in bed
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made me a well woman, and feel so grateful
that am glad to write and tell you of my
marvellous recovery. 1t brought me health,
new life and vitality Mrs. Bessie Ainsley

What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for every sick and ailing woman.
II You have symptoms you don't I'M
derstand write to Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in-la law of Lydia e Pinkham,
at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and
always helpful.

A Terrible Tragedy

Yesterday forenoon, George Brath-
waite son of Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin
Brathwaite living about miles south
of Martinsburg on the M. d W. Turn
pike was blown up with dynamite and
almost instantly killed, while son of
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Fulk, was seriously
but not fatally hurt by the same ex-
plosion. 1t seems that some men were
engaged in blasting in field near the,
homes of the boys who were only about
6 or s years old, and had left some
sticks of dynamite by the fire to warm,
so as to get in condition for use the
caps for which were lying near.
The Fulk boy was too much fright
ened to give clear account of the af-
fair, but it is supposed that they threw
one Of the caps in the fire which ex-
ploded the dynamite. The little Braith-
waite boy was blown over fence and
badly lacerated. DR.. Barnes who
was visiting Mrs. Fulk, mother of one
of the boys, was called to see the other
little fellow, but he died very shortly,
after being carried to his home. The
distress of the parents of the poor little
boy is described as being agonizing in
the extreme.
