Helped Me So Much"

Jacksonville, Ind. - Miss Maud
Harris, Of R. F. D. No. 2, this city,
says: 81 had serious womanly troubles
for three months, and it was so bad,
at times, could hardly do my work,
and oh! l was so weak. 1 can truly
say, however, that Cardui has helped
me greatly.
took only three bottles Of Cardui
but I am cured of my trouble.
Before began the Cardui treat
ment, only weighed 92 pounds, but
1 soon began to gain, and got up to
1902 in a short time, and am now feel
ing fine.
Cardui is certainly a great medicine
for women"
Don't allow yourself to become
weak and all rundown, from wom-
anly troubles. Follow the example of
Miss Harris. Take Cardui, the wom-
ans tonic. 1t will surely help you, as
it has so many others in the past so
years.
Headache, backache, nervousness,
sleeplessness, tired, worn-out feeling,
are all signs of womanly trouble.
Other women get relief by taking
Cardui. Why not you?
Begin taking Card-u-i, today
You'll be glad YOU did. NcB

Water Board High Finance.

Presumably inspired by the Water boards
high financier, his newspaper spokesman takes
exception to The Bees criticism OF the unneces-
sary piling up of a colossal sinking and depre-
citation fund instead of buying in the purchase
bonds and cancelling them. and giving the tax
payers and the water users the benefit OF the
reduced interest charge. While this discussion
must be academic so long as Omaha is helpless
10 change the arbitrary exactions OF the Water
board still the efforts to cloud the situation are
too palpable to let stand, as these facts show:
]. The secret s7,000,O0O bond deal without
competition was inexcusabie and the later sale
of the additional 100000 OF these bonds, sub
sequently bought back was a losing speculation
2. The sinking fund reserve is artficially
inflated. The sum Of s12A,S1O is being set
aside annually TO amortize the $1,000, 900 of
bonds at the end OF thirty years on per cont
basis although the bonds themselves bear Az
per cent, and we are told that some Of the
money is earning as high as 5 per cent. AT Az
per cent the sinking fund would call for only
s114,744 to pay out in thirty years, 30 that we
are being needlessly mulcted an excess OF $780,
900 at the rate OF $4,000 year.
3. depreciation reserve OF sci ,666 a year
IL being set aside--on what basis no one can
tell. So far Il has been almost wholly an invest
@'""t iuhe' Ahc thoOlJ VI lulh depreciation
reserve is that It will reproduce the plant in
fifty years but on per cent basis s91,se6 q
year will produce s7,0OO.O 900 in thirty-five years
end on a u per cent basis in thirty three years
To produce 100000 in fifty years on Az
per cent basis would require only $3s,214 a
year. or $5s.452 year less than we are setting
oside., This assumes, OF course, that the money
IL to continue as an investment fund and would
not be spent for requirements, but on any true
computation basis the amount is far too large
4. Taking the sinking fund and the depre-
citation fund together, totalling $216,47e per
year, we are being compelled to pay the cost of
the water plant almost twice over in period OF
thirty years.
o. II goes without saying that we cannot eat
our cake and have It, too. We cannot pile up
this tremendous surplus from year to year ex-
cept by taking It out OF the pockets Of the water
Users and the taxpayers.
1t is not question OF possible misappropria-
ton OF the reserve fund by an incompetent or
dishonest Water board. The members OF the
board may be perfectly competent to run their
own business and their personal honesty may
never be called in question. but in water works
matters everyone knows they have so far blindly
obeyed the orders OF the high financier, whose
purpose seems TO be to accumulate a speculation
fund OF millions Of dollars rather than TO tighten
the load carried by the water users and tax
payers.

The Western Rate Case.

The decision just handed down by the Inter
state Commerce commission in what Is known
rs the western rate CASE is somewhat in the
nature of a compromise, and just at present Is
not likely to meet the full approval OF either
side The railroads do not secure all the ad-
vsnces asked for. nor are they denied all. The
western lines singled out certain specific COM
modlties on which TO increase rates, while the
the eastern lines. in the case settled some
months ago. asked for a general increase in
rates Of per cent Tho difference in procedure
did not involve any divergence in principle nor
bring forth any new argument to support the
request Need for more revenue, to be had only
through increased charges, was the basis Of the
plea in both cases.
At the hearings the points we're very fully
argued, and the order OF the commission is
based on complete information at least. The
effect Of the order not be fully told until the
railroads have had time to readjust their tariff
sheets. and this will take several weeks, as every
road in the country is finally affected by the
rev tariff. 1t will mean more operating revenue
for the roads, and the consumer has to pay the
freight.

Carran1a Change. Front Again.

Supported by message from the Argen-
tlnian minister of foreign affairs, venustiano
Carranza has again changed front on the matter
of Ali-American adjustment OF Mexican affairs.
end declares 'the Mexican people win look with
displeasure on any attempt" to interfere with
the carranza plans. This recusance on part OF
the first chief may not have much force in de-
termining the ultimate action OF the conference
but It is an indication OF the diplomatic difficult
ties in the way. The message from Argentina
vas sent in response TO a protest from Carransa
against the Latin-American countries taking any
part in the consideration of Mexican affairs. 1t
can hardly be construed as a recognition of Car
rama as the head of the Mexican nation, but Il
almost amounts 10 hands-off pledge from
Argentina.
Argentina's smiabllity may be explained In
two ways. On the ground OF racial sympathy
Il Is easy 10 see why the South American repub-
lie would be inclined TO side with the Mexlcans
la any question between them and the United
States. further and more potent reason may
be found in the history of Argentine. Twenty
five years ago that country was in almost the
seme condition as Mexico Is today II was torn
by factions. its army deposed one president and
its navy another; its coinage was debased and
its fiat currency was worthless its industry and
its agriculture languished and its outlook was
most gloomy. Strong men arose and brought
order and tranquility TO the country and made
II one OF the prosperous nations of the world.
President de la Plaza may feel that Mexico
should be allowed the same chance to work out
It's salvation as was given Argentina. but where
will Mexico find man like Luis saenz-Pena to
place his country on the solid ground OF
political and social peace and good orderg
Argentina has perhaps voiced the sentiment
Of all the Latin-American governments and
given US peep behind the scenes at the confer
enee but this decision win very likely be re-
eeived obviously by Americans

fan BURNING in Texas and Mexico.
kAIsERHoF RANCH. Blaine County.
Nebraska, Aug. 10-To the Editor Of The
Bee: Another burning has taken place
IN Texas under the most revolving cir
cumstanccs. The people on the other
side Of the Rio Grande read Of these
incidents. which are altogether too fire.
Quent. and wonder. with some degree of
right, why we should interfere with their
government in Mexico. About four years
ago an American citizen OF Mexican de-
scent, by the name Of Domingez. was
burned TO death according to the latest
approved methods Of the mobs IN Texas
and several other southern states The
first report announced that he was
citizen OF Mexico, residing in Texas
happened to be in Mexico at the time
and il created quite a sensation. Tho stu
dents from the university paraded the
streets shouting. Death to the gringoes."
and only prompt action OF the police pre-
vented q riot. The newspaper comments
at the time in Mexico gave their opinion
of us in rather strong terms. A professor
in the University OF Mexico City wrote
a column for the local paper, in which
he urged moderation. saying that because
the people of the north had acted bar
bariously was no reason why they should
be barbarlens.
Would II not be good idea for the
president Of the United States when he
undertakes to establish a constitutional
government in Mexico TO stop on his
way down and see II he cannot establish
a constitutional government in Texas
The people IN Mexico would at least ap-
preciate the consistency Of such an act.

The Fall of Warsaw

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Military mira
cles have been performed in this war;
but a general German advance into the
heart Of Russia IL almost beyond iinag-
ination. For the present, therefore It
IL likely that the victors will be content
TO rest after they have taken Riga. How
long they viii rest. and TO what ad-
vantage they will turn their recent con-
quests are questions beyond conjecture.
Boston Transcript: within the German
empire the kaiser will more than ever be
the symbol of the new Germany. The
people Will more than ever believe that
that new Germany is to take concrete
shape and expand to greater power and
strength than ever before in Teutonic
history. AS for the hsf-million German
dead so bravely fallen-even their rela-
tives on a day like this will be satisfied
that the gain is worth the loss
Baltimore American: Those who have
been disposed 20 predict that the Rus
SLAMS will be virtually eliminated until
next spring are counting without their
host. For should the Russian army es-
CAPE the taking of Warsaw will be of
no more strategic advantage than was
the taking of Washington of military
worth to the British in the war of 1914
IL has strong sentimental interest, but
in a war in which sentiment plays so
little part upon the field this counts for
little.
New York Post: The moral effects of
the German achievement are equally I'M
mlstakable, whether we consider public
opinion at home, among the enemy ma
lions, or among neutrals. II is all very
well for the Duma, the Chamber of Depu-
ties. and the House OF Commons to utter
new vows OF determination to carry the
war through to victory. The effect on
popular opinion of specific and tangible
victory or defeat must count The Allies
today are visibly under the depressing
influence of the unbroken tide OF Teuton
success in the last three months.
St.'Louis Republic: The Warsaw cam
paign will live in the memory of the
race while men peruse the pages of mill
tary history. The full story OF the re-
sistance of the Russians to the German
advance has yet to be told. But the
tremendous concentration of power that
battered down the guard of the white
car while the forces in the west held
at bay the massed power of England and
France is one of the most impressive ex-
hibitions of human courage, human will,
and human organizing ability which his
tory shows. Truly we are living In an
age in which the history is in the making.
