 Such warning symptoms as sense of sufocation hot flashes, headaches, baekaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds In the ears palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes. irregularities, constipation, yari- able appetite, weakness and tnquietude, and dizziness, arc promptly needed by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected.

ROOSEVELT PRAISED TAFT.
Former President Lauded Successor
Before New York Republicans.

beTofe NEW roTk nePupIlOaHos
One of the most comprehensive in
dolsements that the Taft administra-
tion has ever received was contained
in the speech Of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt as temporary chairman Of
the New York Republican state con
vention at Saratoga. N. y, Sept. "a,
1910. The first two paragraphs of the
speech were as follows.
I'VE come here feeling that we have
the right to appeal to the people from
the standpoint alike Of national and
state achievement. During the last
eighteen months long list Of laws
embodying legislation most heartily to
be commended as combining wisdom
with progress have been enacted by
congress and approved by President
Taft.
The amendments to the interstate
commerce law, beginning of national
legislative program for the exercise OF
the taxing power in connection with
big corporations doing nm interstate
business. the appointment Of commits
sion to frame measures that do away
with the evils of OvercapiialzutiOn and
of improper and excessive issues Of
stocks and bonds, the law providing
for publicity Of campaign expenses.
the establishment Of the maximum and
minimum tariff provisions and the ex-
ceedingly able negotiation Of the Cana
dian and other treaties in accordance
Herewith, the Inauguration Of the poll
cy of providing for n dlslnterested re-
vision Of tariff schedules through
high class commission Of experts which
will treat each schedule purely on It's
own merits with a view to protecting
the consumer from excessive prices
and to securing the American producer
and especially the American wage
worker what will represent the differ
ence Of cost IN production here as com
pared with the cost Of production In
countries where labor Is less Literally
rewarded. the extension OF the laws
regulating safety appliances for the
protection Of labor and the creation "
a bureau OF mines. These and similar
laws. backed mp by executive action.
reflect high credit upon all who sue
ceeded in putting them in their present
shape upon the statute books. They
represent Hn earnest ~ the nchieve-
ment which Is yet 20 come. and the be
neficence and farreaching importance
0f this work done for the whole people
measure the credit which Is rightly due
10 the congress aud 90 our able, mp
right and distinguished president, vii
liam Howard Taft"

evidently drawn by men imbued with
the Importance of preserving the EN-
plovers from burdenSome or unjust liza
bilities. 1t was treated as a personal
matter Of each employee. and the EN-
ployees were put on level of dealing
which, however it may have been in
the past, certainly creates injustice to
the employee under the present condi-
tions."
The attention OF congress to the great
injustice of the present system was
called by President Taft He mention
ed the fact that often the recovery Of
large sums in damage verdicts did not
result In actual benefit to the injured
person on account of the heavy ex-
penses in litigation. The president ex-
pressed the belief that these burdens
would disappear with the enactment Of
the proposed law, since the counsel fees
are limited to reasonable amount.
As further stated by the president,
"the great object of the proposed law
is to secure justice to the weaker party
under existing modern conditions" He
also declared that he would use his in
fluence to aid in the enactment of the
proposed law before the adjournment
of the present session of congress.
