fortunates suffer from ill-health. An
abnormal condition Of the system
expresses Itself in nervousness. sleep
lessness, backaches, headaches and
dependency.
If all ailing women would make
faithful use of that grand remedy for

by a vote of 46 to 43. It was pointed
out by the senator's and representa-

1t seems entirely probably that the
number of bills passed at this session
will be the smallest in the history of
any recent legislature, and there is
every reason to believe that in carry

economy and efficiency, made at the
opening of the session some mighty
good legislation of real benefit to the
People, is going to be enacted. So
many bills have been reported out OF
the committee that the legislature is
going to be unusually busy from now
on in the regular sessions as well as
in committee work.

Copenhagen, (via ndon),-May
9.-The Bavarian Stats Zeitung. the
semi-omcial Bavarian newspaper and
the personal organ Of Premier Count

denying the necessity Of Germany's
demanding cash indemnity as one of
her peace conditions. Count Hertling
has just returned from visit to vi
emma, where he had conferences with
Emperor Charles ana Foreign Minis

oers claim that these conferences were
intended to find common ground be-
tween Count Czernin's suggestions of
peace without annexation and Chan
,ellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg's peace
program.
The article in the Stats Zeitung
Is regarded. in view OF the circum-
stances, az important as rejecting the
IDEAS of the Bavarian prime minister.
The article declares that the war
has cost Germany sixty billion marks.

the total estimated value Of 1915 ,000,-
