Dyspepsic of Women! ABSOLUTELY _ NEEDLESS AGONY | Vousey by Uterine Disord Disorders and Cured by | ,, Lycia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compsund Ts great many women suffer with a form of indigesti on or dyspepsia which does not seem. to yield to ordinary treat- ment. While the symptoms seem to be similar to thosé¢ of ordinary indiges- tion, yet the medicines universally pre- scribed do not seem to restore the pa- Vieng s normal condition. Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a derangement of the female organism, ‘and which, while it causes a disturb- ance similar to ordinary indigestion, ‘but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects also. . As proof of this theory we call at- tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y., who was completely cured by Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound after every- thing else had failed. She writes: ‘‘ For two years I suffered with dyspepsia was unable to attend to my daily duties. I felt weak ie apd nervous, and nothing that Iate tasted good and it caused a disturbance in my stomach. - I tried different dyspepsia cures, but nothing seemed to help me.

The pig iron produced in the Unit- ed States in one year would make a column twice the height and size of The iron and steel rails, if made into one rail, would be 81 feet wide at the base, just as high, and a mile and a fifth long.

Some ' of the largest fish of the spring catch, weighing 85. or @ 90 pounds, and measuring 51% to 6 feet long, will be preserved in the formaldehyde in in- verted glass jars made especially for the purpose. The exhibit will be the finest of its kind ever displayed at an exposition.—Recreation. A Heavy Fine. Under the Elkins law any railroad company which pays rebates in any form, or any shipper who accepts them, is liable to.a fine of from $1000 to $20,000 upon conviction. It also pro- hibits the carrying of freight at less than the published tariffs. The Inter- state Commerce Commission is empow- ered to detect and prosecute violators of this statute. President Knapp, of the commission, states that since this law. was passed rebate paying has been as rare as forgery. Beating of Dead Hearts. Hearts of cold-blooded animals will beat for a comparatively long time after death or removal from the: body (if kept cool and moist), be- cause of powerful Paternal collections of nerves, known as ganglia, whose automatic impulses cause the regu- lar contractions of the muscles. Simi- lar ganglia exist in man and other warm-blooded animals, but their ac- tion is less prolonged. Scientists have asserted that a turtle’s heart will beat after removar if put on a piece of glass, kept cool and moist, and covered with a bell-jar. I be- lieve it has been known to beat 36 or even 48 hours; 12 or 14 hours is a common record.—St. Nicholas. Wealth of Oklahoma.

Valuable Books. Last December an old man known as M. Henri died in the Rue de Pa- tay, Paris. He was known to possess private means, but that they were meager was indicated by his shabbi- ness and the fact that he lived alone in a single room. When a search of M. Henri’s room was made after his fleath nothing more valuable was found than two shelves of dingy- looking books, which were sold, with his few sticks of furniture, to pay his funeral expenses. When, how- ever, the buyer of the books ex- amined his purchase he discovered two volumes of rare value—absolutely unique—for every page of them, 820 in all, was a £5 note of the Bank of England. NO TONGUE" CAN TELL How I Suffered With Itching and Bleeding Eczema Until Cured by Cuticura. “No tongue can tell how I suffered for five years with a terribly painful, itching and bleeding eczema, my body and face being covered with sores. Never in my life did I experience such awful suffering, and I longed for dedth, which I felt was near. I had tried doctors and medicines without success, but my mother insisted that I try Cuticura. I felt better:after the first bath with Cuticura Soap, and one ap- plication of Cuticura Ointment, and was soon entirely well. (Signed) Mrs. A. Et- son, Bellevue, Mich.” Another Jap Victory. K. E.

French Printing Trade Exhibition. Following British precedent of 1404, an international exhibition of printing, papermaking, journalism, engraving and all graphic arts is to be held in Paris in 1906. It is to be the largest show of the kind ever held. Paper manufacturing and wood. pulp making will, it is stated, be shown in operation. How’s This?

Output of Furnaces Unprecedented— Healthy Conditicn in the Indus- trials. R. G. Dun & Co.'s “Weekly Review of Trade” says: Good news still pre- dominates in trade and industry. Easter business of large velume, dry goods, clothing, footwear aad all lines of wearing apparel reporting an un- usually good demand, and shipping de- partments are taxed to their full ca- pacity in many cases. The country as a whole is -~experiencing. more settled weather, which is reflected in a better retail distribution of mer- chandise. Jobbing trade in goods for fall delivery is broadening, and there is more inclination to prepare for the future. Manufacturers report less idle ma- chinery, the iron and steel industry leading with an unprecedented out- put of pig iron, yet the consumption is® also above all records, for there is no accumulation at the furnaces. Textile mills are also well engaged as a rule, aad forwardings of foot- wear from Boston make favorable comparisons with every year. except 1900. A few labor controversies are threatened, but none are of sufficient magnitude to materially’ check® pro- gress, even if ‘expected settlements are not attained, for the. number of hands fiavolved is comparatively: small. Reports, are somewhat con- flicting as to the mercantile- collec- tions, but improvement should follow the liberal distribution of funds. in starting agricultural work. Treasury shipments of small change to the in- terior largely exceeded the pment Mn transit a year ago. Car blockades are few, owing to the favorable weather, although traf- fic is very heavy, as shown -by rail- way earnings for the first week of April, 10.9 per cent. larger than last vear. Prices of commodities declined 2.7 per cent. during March. -Eggs, dairy and garden products, grain and coal made the most notable declines. Bradstreets says: Building and building material are active, export trade displays signs of improvement, railroad earnings show 10 per cent. gain for March, and an increase of 5 per cent, for the quarter and bank clearings show continued heavy in- creases on last year.
