WOMEN’S NEGLECT SUFFERINGTHESUREPENALTY Health Thus Lost Is Restored by Lydia EL Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? We hear every day the same story over and over again. “I do not feel well; I ana ao tired all the time 1 ”

More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the female organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, bearing-down pains, flatulency, nervousness, sleeplessness, leucorrhoea. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never-failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Miss Kate McDonald, of Woodbridge, N J., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham : “ I think that a woman naturally dislikes to make her troubles known to the public, but restored health has meant so much to me that I cannot help from telling mine for the sake of other suffering women. “ For a long time I suffered untold agony with a uterine trouble and irregularities, which made me a physical wreck, and no one thought I would recover, but Lydia E. Pinkbam’s Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me, arid rnaje nifrjirclj and strong, and I feel it hay dflfvxb teirnSpßrsuffering women What a splendid medicine it is?’ If you are ill, don’t hasitate to get a bottle of Lydia & Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound at once, and write to Mrs Pinlcham, Lynn, Mass., for special advice - it is free and always helpful. ™CUHESV^tEA L L ELSEFAILS."

One’s Sensation in Airship.

“It is a singular fact,” says A. Roy Knabenshue, according to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, “that when one is going as much as fifteen or twenty miles an hour in an airship one has no sensation of moving whatever. The air beats in your face as you move along, but it only creates the impression that one is standing still in a strong breeze. ' “There are no objects flying past you as when you are traveling 6n the surface of the earth, and as you must keep your eyes looking ahead of you, you observe only distant objects, so distant because of your high point of view that you approach them apparently so slowly you do not seem to move at all. I consider this one of the queerest sensations in a trip through the air, and the impression of scarcely moving or of not moving at all is so strong, even on the most experienced aeronaut, that it is probably due to this so many of them push their motor to the extreme limit and it ‘dies’ in consequence. When a speed gauge is invented for an airship it will cause fewer breakdowns of motors due to crowding power.”

THERE IS JUST ONE SURE WAY.

Dodd's Kidney Pills Build Up RanDown People They Make Healthy Kidneys and that Means Healthy People What Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Duffsy Say: Nora, Ind., Feb. Oth.—(Special.)— That the sure way of building up rundown men and women is to put their kidneys in good working order is shown by the experience of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L. Duffey of this place. Both were weak and worn and dispirited. They used Dodd’s Kidney Pills and to-day both enjoy the best of health. Mr. Duffey says: “I was very weak and almost past going. I tried everything which people said was good but got no benefit till I tried Dodd’s Ivldney Pills. They helped me in every way and I am strong and well now.” Mrs. Duffey says: “I was so bad that if anybody would lay down a string I felt I could not step over it. Since taking Dodd’s Kidney Pills I can run and jump fences.” Healthy kidneys insure pure blood; Dodd’s Kidney Pills insure healthy kidneys.

Magnetic Sands.

In the district of Stavanger, in the southwestern part of Norway, there is a place called Jaederen, a flat strip of coast less than a mile long, which is notorious for shipwrecks. Now a Norwegian physicist has discovered that the sand of Jaederen is strongly magnetic, owing to an admixture of magnetic Iron ore. He found also that at a distance of three miles from the shore a ship's compass showed a deviation of a whole degree from its true position. The cause of the numerous shipwrecks, therefore, Is obvious.

HER BLOOD TOO THIN

GENERAL DEBILITY RESULTS FROM IMPOVERISHED BLOOD. The Remedy That Makes New Blood Banishes Weakness, Headaches, Indigestion and Nervous Troubles. Hundreds of women Buffer from headaches, dizziness, restlessness, languor and timidity. Few realize that their misery all comes from the bad state of their blood. They take one thing for their head, another for their stomach, a third for their nerves, and yet all the while it is simply their poor blood that is the cause of their discomfort. If one sure remedy for making good, rich blood were used every one of their distressing ailments would disappear, as they did in the case of Mrs. Ella F. Stone, who had been ailing for years and was completely run down before she realized the nature of her trouble. “ For several years,” said Mrs. Stone, “ I suffered from general debility. It began about 1896 with indigestion, nervousness and steady headaches. Up to 1900 I hadn’t been able to fhuLany relief from this condition. I was then very thin and bloodless. An enthusiastic friend, who had used Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, urged me to give them a trial and [I finally bought a box. “ I did not notice any marked change from the use of the first box, but I determined to give them a fair tidal and I kept on. When I had finished the second box I could sco very decided signs of improvement in my condition. I began to feel better all over and to have hopes of a completo cure. “ I used in all eight or ten boxes, and when I stopped I liad*got back my regular weight and a good healthy color nnd the gain has lasted. I can eat what I please without discomfort. My nervousness is entirely gone, and, while I lind constant headaches before, I very rarely have one now. I cheerfully recommend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills to women who suffer ns I did.” Mrs. Stone was seen at her pretty homo in Lakewood, It. 1., where, as the result of her experience, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are very popular. These famous pills are sold by all druggists. A book that every woman needs is published by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. It is entitled “Plain Talks to Women,” and will bo scut free on request.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

The weekly review of Chicago. Chicago trade, published —— by R. G. Dun & Co., says: Bank exchanges, although of smaller aggregate than those during the preceding weeks, present the largest comparative gain recorded this month. Another gratifying feature is found In the commercial mortality, the number of failures and total liabilities being smaller than a year ago and the lowest with one exception within the last quarter. These factors encourage confidence in the business outlook. As expected, severe cold and snowstrorns interfered with the distribution of commodities and complaints nre frequent of delayed deliveries and difficulty in marketing grain, but Western railroads thus far exhibit little decline in earnings. Manufacturing has made steady progress in tire output, and new demands in lending brunches provide much work for future completion. Impovemeut has continued in the orders for heavy machinery, hardware, electric and brass product. Ralls and oars were again contracted for to a large extent. Furnace production has been augmented to meet pressing needs of melters, but there is no appreciable accumulation of supplies, and current commitments represent a fair tonnage, mainly for delivery in the third quarter. Woodworkers obtained further orders and furniture makers report better export trade. Lumber dealings were active at very firm values. Receipts reached 31,207,000 feet, a large gain over those of both last week and a year ago. New construction plans Involve the consumption of building materials in greitt quantities and prices are strengthening. Distributers of general merchandise report the markets well attended by early buyers. Mercantile collections in the Middle West occasion little adverse comment. Bank clearings, $177,977,140, are 12.6 per cent over those of a year ago. Failures reported in Chicago district number twenty-four, ngainst thirtyone last week and twenty-eight a year ago.

Bradstreet’s weekly reNev York. port of the country’s gen———u -J eral trade conditions is as follows: Inclement weather has retarded distributive trade, railway traffic and some forms of production throughout a wide area. The result Is some Irregularity in the reports from different sections. The Northwest sends relatively the best reports in advices that spring business Is in excess of a year ago, and It is to be noted that the Northwest shows an improvement over recent rather depressed conditions. The cold weather, however, has accentuated the dullness at the South, growing out of lower cotton prices, nnd brought business and collections down to a low ebb as compared with the exceedingly prosperous conditions ruling a year ago at this time. The Eastern seaboard has felt the chief force of the storm in interrupted railway and street car traffic and reduced nfrTvals of country produce, and caused a partial suspension of coal mining and shipping. This is a seasonable visitation, however, and has been rallied from quickly. Business failures In the Unite! States for the week ending Jan. 26 number 228. against 304 last week, 242 in the like week last year, 230 in 3003. 303 In 1002 and 238 in 1001. In Canada failures for the week number forty-three,as against thirty-seven last Week and eighteen in this week a year ago.

PEACE IN SOUTH AMERICA.

How the Acre Dispate Between Brazil and Boliv-ia Bas Been Settled. A territory one-third larger than all New England has just changed hands in South America under a treaty between two nations. A territory larger than New England and the middle States combined Is about to be awarded as the result of peaceful arbitration. This is the Acre or Aquiry dispute, involving Brazil, Peru and Bolivia. When Spain and Portugal claimed to divide pretty muck all the world except Europe between them in 1493, says the New York World, boundaries wore left rather vague. When in 1750 these countries made a treaty as to their South American boundaries the limits in the unexplored forests were still left vague enough. In general they adopted the “uti possidetis” maxim-**the rule of “hold what you occupy”—and this was generally reaffirmed a century later between Brazil and other countries which had inherited the vague Spauish-Por-tuguese boundary. When a few years ago the richness of the Aquiry region became known and settlers poured in there was bound to be a dispute as to its ownership. It arose between armed -Brazilian settlers on the one hand and a big Bolivian land corporation formed in this city on the other, with Peru as an Inactive claimant. »

But, instead of going to war over the country, Brazil and Bolivia signed a treaty on Nov. 17, 1903, which is thus summarized by Prof. John Bas sett Moore: “Bolivia concedes to Brazil the whole of the basin of the Aquiry, embracing 191,000 square kilometers (about 90,000 sq'iarq miles), part of which was admitted to belong to Bolivia under the treaty of 1807, and receives in return 2.296 square kilometers between the Madeira and Abunan rivers, inhabited by Bolivians, and certain tracts of land on the Paraguay, the sum of $10,000,000. which Bolivia accepts with the intention of using the same mainly in the construction of railways or other works to improve the communications and develop commerce between the two countries. "Brazil in addition .to the other compensation to agrees to build a railway * * and to grant to Bolivia the same privileges and rates ns she shall herself enjoy In the use of the line. ‘The gain,’ says Col. Church, ‘which Bolivia will reap from the construction of the Madeira and Mamore railway alone is worth all of her territorial sacrifices.’ ” A pretty sensible way to settle a boundary dispuate, Peru, which also claimed ihe Aquiry region and a great tract to the north besides, has consented to negotiate with Brazil concerning her claim through the friendly offices of an arbitrator if a treaty cannot directly be reached. Thus a threatened three-cornered war seems likely to be averted.

Compulsory Insurance.

A French (feminine) writer suggests that every couple before marrying should compulsorily insure the future of their children. She suggests that 1 cent a day would be a sufficient premium.

A FELLOW FEELING.

Why She Felt Lenient Toward* the Drunkard. A great deal depends on the point of view. A good temperance woman was led, In a very peculiar way, to revise her somewhat harsh judgment of the poor devil who cannot resist his cups and she is now more charitable. She writes: “For many years I was a great sufferer from asthma. Finally my health got so poor that I found I could not lie down, but walked the floor whilst others slept. I got so nervous I could not rest anywhere. “Specialists told me I must give up the use of coffee—the main thing that I always thought gave me some relief. I consulted our family physician, and be, being a coffee fiend himself, told me to pay no attention to their advice. Coffee bad such a charm for me that in a restaurant and getting a whiff of the fragrance I could not resist a cup. I felt very lenient towards the drunkard who could no<t pass the saloon. Friends often urged me to try Postuni, but I turned a deaf ear, saying ‘That ' may do for people to whom coffee is harmful, but not for me—coffee and 1 will never part.’ “At last, however, I bought a package of Postuin, although I was sure I could not drink it. 1 prepared it as directed, and served It for breakfast/ | Well, bitter as I was against it, I must •ay that never before had I tasted a more delicious cup of coffee! From that day to this (more than 2 years) I have never had a desire for the old coffee. My health soon returned; the asthma disappeared, I began to sleep well and In a short time I gained 20 pounds in weight. j “One day I handed my physician the tablets he had prescribed for me, telling him I bad no use for them. He stayed for dinner. When I passed him his coffee cup lie remarked ‘I am glad to see you were sensible enough not to let yourself be persuaded that coffee was harmful. Tills is the best cup of coffee I ever drank,’ he continued; ‘the trouble Is so few people know how to make good coffee.’ When be got bis second cup I told him he was drinking Postuin. He wah incredulous, but I convinced him, and now he uses nothing but Postum In his home and has greatly Improved in health" Name given by Pdstum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Look In each package for the famous little book "The Road to WellITille.”
