WOMEN'S WOES.
Lambertville Women are Finding Relief
at Last.

1t does seem that women have more
than fair share of the aches and pains
that afflict humanity; they must "keep
up" must attend to duties in spite of
constantly aching backs. or headaches,
dizzy spells, bearing down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop means
torture. They must walk and bend
and work with racking pains and many
aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other organ Of
the body. Keep the kidneys well and
health is easily maintained. Read OF a
remedy for kidneys only that helps and
cures the kidneys and is endored by
people you know.

AUTOMOBILE MADE IN 81
AND MACHINE. OF TODAY

1t IS generally understood that the
era OF the automobile dates from 1870,
but it has recently been found that
Elijah Ware. once a well-known rail-
road construction engineer in Boston
and vicinity, invented a very successful
machine in 1861. That this machine
would go was demonstrated many
times when he raced fast trottng
horses.
Mr.. Wares speciality was in steam
shovel work, in which line he became
intimately acquainted with Sidney
Dillon. formerly president of the Union
Pacific, and one Of our country's great
4fnancicrs at the time of Jay Gould.
Sidney Dillon thought a great deal
of Mr.. Ware. always calling him LII
iah," and giving him adinittance to
his private Office in Wall street at all
times. At the time the Lake shore,
Michigan Central was being built, MI.
Dillon gave Elijah Ware an Important
position at Grard, Penn. Later he.
came to Boston at the time they were
filing i'll the Black Bay.
Mr.. Ware was put in charge of tenn
porary repair shop for the steam snow
els. While he was engaged In this
work, he built his steam carriage or.
traction engine as it was called. This
was In 1861. 1t was not his first in-l
vention, as ne had been tinkering away
nj one thing and another since boy.
When Mr.. Ware completed and first
tried his engine. quite a crowd collected
