MRS.NELLIE MARKHAM

A nervous irritable woman. often on
the verge of Mysteries, is a source OF
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such. women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills OF women act like a fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven-tenths of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, t h
blues. sleeplessness. and nervous
ritability OF women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
from pains in the abdominal region,
baclzache, bearing down pains.nervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessncss, and almost
continually cross and snappy? If SO,
your nerves arc in a shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostr2tion.
Proof is monumental that nothing
in the world is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from native roots and herbs.
Thousands and thousands of women
can testify to this fact.
Mrs. Nellie Markham, of Isl Morgan

If has sometimes been customary to
extend this date after the time 70
which it is limited in a first order has

,tl.e large amount Of work of a general
nature which is before the Legislature,
ttat we should adhere to this date OF
February 10 and that no special legisla-
ton. except in case of emergency
should be allowed to be introduced af-
Ter that date. While this may nor re-
u,ire that a motion should be re-
corded. yet 1 would like 60 have the
sentiment of the Senate expressed as
TO whether or no we shall adhere to
fhe date of February 10 that Senators
may govern themselves accordingly.

communicate promptly with Mrs.
Pinl6ham, at Lynn, Mass. From the

coyery. Physicians failed to help me- l
was urged to try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and want to tell You
that it has entirely cured me- l think it
is the finest medicine on earth and l am
recommending it to all my friends and
acquaintance.
Mrs. Geo. A. James, a life long
resident of Fredonia, N. y, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
IL was in terribly run down condition
and had nervous prostration caused by
female trouble. in fact had not been well
since my children were born. This con-
dition worked on my nerves and / was ir-
ritable and miserable. 1 had tried many

tries where the hours are still on Il e
unwholesome schedule of an earlier
generation work on unremitting y
until exhausted. Their sin again,
the laws of health is failure to give
the muscles a sufficient portion of
the day for rest, even though the
work in itself is not more tnan a
man could easily do If the interval
between the hours of work was
greater. The athlete puts TOO great
a strain upon his frame during de-
cisive' moments of contest, and the
farmer works too hard and too many
hours at time during part of the
year and to little, by contrast at
other seasons.
Tne statistics quoted seem 10 bear
out the contention Of the doctors
that athletes are a notoriously short
lived class. The idea the: farm If,

power of the body to re- over during
the remaining hours, but who works
enough to keep the body in health.
The attempt OF city dweller TO
crowd the exercise of year into a
brief vacation is slowly fatal, quite
as much so as what DR.. Hutchinson

bauches of labor and of idleness in

REVOLT INCHINA

Ii nov looks like great class of
the Chinese, maddened by starva-
ton are likely to revolt and inau-
gurate a reign of bloodshed aud
terror. That poor benighted
country seems doomed to large
share of trouble and horror.
An ignorant superstitious people,
governed by a weak and incom.
petent monarch, once they do make
a general and determined break
will batter down all opposition and
carry things with a high hand till
their maddened frenzy spends its
force in scenes of riot and blood
shed. Life or death is about all
the same to millions of these people
They think nothing of their own
life and necessarily place but little
value on the lives of others.
The Chinese problem has bothered
the minds of statesmen of both con-
tinents for many years. The pro
position has been made to parcel
the vast territory out among the
leading nations of earth, and at
tempt in that way to civllize the
natives. This might reach the de
sired end in course of time,
could all the nations but be re-
lied on at all times to act in di :
interested manner for the upbu:ld
ing and general good of the country.
But there is danger that another
course might be followed and the
poor Chinaman fail 10 receive the
full measure of the philanthropists
plan. 1t looks like the quicle
and best way to civiize tha. great
people is to let them work out their
own salvation in bloodshed.
The ruling powers there are cor
rupt and conscienceless as can be
imagined. They rob and oppress
the people till some day forbear-
ance will cease to be virtue, and
during the carnage and upheaval fol-
lowing revolt, some strong char
acter will arise who has the strength
of character and wisdom to con-
troll the people and from the caos
of revolution will arise strong cen
trai power that will control and an
era If Improvement and advance
ment will follow and eventually
China will become a world power to
be respected by all people.

hold, but because of our wealth Of
character and life, not because of
technical education and treasures of
books and of art, but because we
aim high, seeking for the education
that is divine, that makes us choose
the good rather than the evil course
and forces US to quit our meanness,
and be men and women of sterling
worth and integrity-this, it is that
makes us honored and respected
wherever we may go. We have
faults, many and great faults, but as
humanity mus. ever be, but so too
we prone to error as humanity
must ever be, but so too we are
prone to right. The ideal is ever
before US and though often we
stumble and fall as often do we
arise and struggle on proving this
the divinity of the power that COM
pels US on to final victory. Though
some-many if you will have it So
there are whose lives are trailing
the sordid dust of avarice and all
unmanliness, this is not true Of the
majority. The few leave their mark
upon our hearts and homes, and
thereby upon our natural life and
integrity, and our private and public
honor is bedimmed by just the ex
tent of their wrong doing.-Kansas

EXERCISE IN OVERDOSES

Many of the ideas of our fore
fathers have been made ridiculous
in the dazzling light of this twen-
tieth century science. Doctors of
the greatest renown are taking their
stand against the spasmodic exer-
else custom so much INDUCED in.
The maa who is accustomed to
life of moderate activity through =
out the greater part of the year is
doing himself gross injustice in
over-fatigue.
For some time watchful physi-
clans have endeavored to check
the athletic craze which has exalted
physical prowess to aa Wholesome
degree. In the last number of
Harper's Monthly DR.. Woods
Hutchinson makes the latest protest
against overconfdence IN the health.
fulness of exercise. Up to a certain
point exercise is necessary to the
well-being of the body, beyond that
point it is harmful.
DR.. Hutchinson finds the greatest
source of danger of overexertion to
be the fact that the muscles which
are most abused are controlled by
the will. One may foolishly force
muscles to work long after they are
fatigued. The heart, the lungs, the
stomach, the muscles of the arms
may pass from a state of |
idleness into one of intense exer-
tien, strainIng and racking the body
or may be deprived of the rest which
they require as truly as the organs
before mentioned scorn rest while
life lasts.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Last Saturday at the plant of the
Chanute Brick ana lyle company,
just west of this city, five men were
on large scaffold, about twenty
feet high, when the scaffolding fell,
precipitating the men to the ground
below,
One of the five escaped without
injury but four were more or less
seriously hurt. E. J. Blakely had a
shoulder dislocated and both bones
of his right fore arm fractured.
His face was also badly battered
up. He is pretty badly hurt and is
not expected to be able for work
for some time to come. Wm.
Lightner, superintendent of the
building, suffered severe wrench-
ing of the muscles of the back and
chest, S. M. Douglass had one
arm BADLY wrenched. F, E..
Ho~erton was badly bruised.
The injured men were taken to
their homes, except Mr.. Slakely.
He was sent to the hospital. Such
accidents as this are entirely too
common. They result from the
carelessness Of some one, as rule.
There is no reason on earth why
these scaffolds should not be made
sufficiently strong to support, With
out danger, the load that is to be
placed upon them.
Usually 1t is not the oae guilty of
the carelessness that suffers in these
accidents. We do not know who is
to blame in this case, but some ore
is sxrley at fault.
