WOMEN IN BUSINESS

Womans power In America is well
illustrated by the thousands of wo-
men who entered almost every line OF
business to replace men VINO were
drafted during the war. Health
proved their strongest asset. Many
women, however, developed weak
nervous conditions and could not
stand the strain Of a business life
Such women should remember there
is one tried and true remedy in Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
which for forty-five years has been
restoring health and strength to the
women OF America.

greatly disappointed when, after a
period of more than an hour of con-
ference, County Attorney Rees an
nOunced that there would be no pro-
secution. "a
1t will be remembered that the two
ministers were arrested Monday on a
warrant issued in Squire Fred W.
Bauer's court on complaint of Clar-
ence Mitchell deacon in the Holi-
ness church. Mitchell charged that the
two ministers came, to his home and
abused him in the presence of his wife
and family and he asked that war;
rant be issued charging them with US
ing language calculated to provoke
breach of the peace.
The ministers employed Attorney
Frank P. ODonnell to defend them
and they appeared in court this morn
ing with their attorney and their wit
nesses ready to proceed nth the trial
Upon the arrival of Comfy ATTORNEY
William Rees, he and Mr.sMitchell. the

there been case exactly like this on,

COURT HOUSE CHIMNEYS
ARE In BAD SHAPE

The falling Of one of the chimneys

few nights ago has caused the coun-

chimneys on the building. The expert
finds that the majority of the chin
neys are faulty and It Is a wonder that
those bordering Court street have not
fallen before this. As this condition
is very dangerous the bricks will be
made secure at once.
