The "change of Life" is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.

A large posse composed of North

with several detectives, are closing in

the Aliens are being distributed along
the North Carolina border through the
mountain section and over a strip or
100 miles wide, so miles in Virginia
and so miles in North Carolina IheSe
circulars are sent to every postoffice
and sheriff.
Captain Davant of the state militia
in charge of the guard here received
word that posses in the mountains had
nassed DEVILS Den, where the Aliens
were supposed to be hiding but saw
no trace of the outlaws. The posses
had not attempted to explore any OF

over the situation and very nervous.
She would say little about the affair.

cuted for Murder.

Auburn, n. Y. March 1S.-Do-
mencio Di Pasquale died in the cleo
trio chair today, exactly one year
after his conviction. To the last he
fought against death in the chair. A
statement issued by Deputy Warden
Tupper after execution told of Di
Pasquale's efforts to hang himself in
his cell last Friday. He was discov-
cred, cut down, revived and was
closely guarded until this morning.
When finally summoned he at first
refused to leave the condemned row,
but when showed by two guards,
stepped into the chamber and walked
to the chair alone. He would have
spoken, but the application of the
death mask silenced him. Two con-
facts were necessary to carry out the
mandate of the law.
Salvatore Di Pasquale, the young
er brother of the murderer, whose
vain attempt to save Domencio by
perjured testimony brought him to
Auburn prison, was in his cell nearby

ALL ASK FOR HELP
Nicaragua Pleads for Loan
From q. S. Bankers.
ssHeIp Us Maintain Peace" Cry
Knox Hears.

washington, March 18.-In re-
sponse to an appeal from the people
of Nicaragua, Secretary of State
Knox today cabled President Taft to
urge consideration of the Nicaraguan
loan convention, which has been
foreign relations for more than a
year.
'.The prompt action of the United
States senate on the Nicaraguan con-
vention is anxiously and prayerfully
hoped for by the government and the

his visit to Nicaragua; pronounces his
reception by the people and the gov
ernment most cordial and describes
the agitators against whom the gov
ernment acted while he was in Man
aqua as anarchists and Zelayaistas,
who if they can get into print, are
willing to talk long and fiercely."
SUSPENSE caused by failure of the
United States senate to act upon the
loan convention, declares the secre-
tary in his dispatch, is damaging
business and creating unsettled condi-
tions generally throughout the re-
public.
Ask Help to Maintain Peace.
Mr.. Knox's request is made in a
cablegram to acting Secretary OF
state Huntington Wilson for trans
initial to President Taft. On the
ground that it is the duty of the
United States from broad national
and international standpoint OF peace,
helpfulness and commerce, the presi-
dent is asked to again urge the SEN
ate to a prompt ratification of the
convention. Secretary Knox's cable
gram in part reads;
after a bloody revolution to over
throw a regime whose cruelty and
base tyrannies are not comprehended
by our people, Nicaragua is making
an earnest effort to reconstruct its
government. What we were COM
peIled to do for Cuba, Nicaragua has
done for herself and the United States
is in a position to do for Nicaragua
what it did for Cuba without expen-
diture of blood or treasure. While in

treaty would afford is most pathetic
The treaty has had the approval of
the Nicaraguan congress. Objections
to it are heard only from those in
Nicaragua who would psTpetuate the
order with its ruinous concessions
and monopolies which the govern
ment is now successfully reducing to
equitable proportions through the re-
constructive efforts of high minded
and keen American experts
