How the Denationalization of Finland
Is Progressing.
From Helsingfors It is stated that
the governors of Abo. St. Michaels,
Wasa and Uleaborg have beon dis
missed. The reason assigned for this
arbitrary proceeding on the part of the
Russian governor general of the grand
ducky is that the displaced Finnish
governors failed to show a proper zeal
in explaining and enforcing the new
law of military conscription for tho
Imperial army. They were, very nat
urally, of the opinion that Finnish
conscripts should be drawn for Fin
land only. The Sviet has a brutally
concoived article on the subject of
these official dismissals. It denounces
•uch Finnish officials as malignantly
(nischievous pseudo patriots, and rec
tommonds more sweeping and drastic
hteasures for the Russification of the
Grand Duchy. The volume of Finnish
emigration is steadily increasing. Dur
ing dast year 27,600 Finns left their
homes, chiefly for the United States
of North America.
V /*Miss Agnes Miller, of Chicago, speaks
to young women about dangers of the
Menstrual Period how to avoid pain and
suffering and remove the cause by using
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"To YOUNO WOMEN t —I Buffered for six years with dysmenor
rhea (painful periods), so muoh so that I dreaded every month, as I
■knew it meant three or four days of intense pain. The doctor said
: this was duo to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused,
i by repeated and neglected colds.
"If young girls only realized how dangerous it is to take cold at
this oritical time, much suffering would bo spared them. Thank God
for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, that was the only
medicine which helped mo any. Within throe weeks after I started to
take it, I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at
the timo of my next monthly period the pain had diminished consider
ably. I kept up the treatment, and was cured a month later. lam like
another person since. I am in perfect health, my eyes are brighter, I have
addod 12 pounds to my weight, my color is good, and I feel light and

The monthly sickness reflects the condition of a woman's
1 health. Anything unusual at that time should have prompt

that Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound regulates men

Habitual Criminals.
It Is asserted that the lowa Legis
lature has passed a law under which
a person twice convicted for crime
In any city or borough of the United
States shall be deemed a habitual
criminal and sentenced to 25 years.
A bill was also introduced into the
Mississippi Legislature providing for
life sentences for habitual criminals
on a third conviction for felony. The
two previous convictions may have
taken place anywhere within the lim
its of the United States. This law pro
vides that such life prisoners may
have the benefit of parole under such
rules and regulations as the board of
parole may impose. Superintendent
Collins of New York State has made
a recommendation in the same direc
tion, claiming that the great major
tiy of the professional criminals in
the State criminal institutions have
served three previous terms for fel
ony, and that for these there is no
hopo tor reform. On the other hand,
tho Ohio Legislature last year repeal
ed its habitual criminal law.

A CONSTANTLY increasing of i
physicians prescribe Peruna in their !
regular practice. It has proven its merits |
so thoroughly that even the doctors have j
overcome their prejudice against so-called 1
patent medicines and recommend it to j
their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. It is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, is the cause of one
half the diseases which afflict mankind.
Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afllict one
half of the people of United States.
F. H. Brand, M. D., of Mokena, 111., uses
Peruna in his practice. The following case
is au example of the success he has through
the use of Peruna for catarrh.
Dr. Brand says: "Mrs. 'C.,' age 23, had
been a sufferer from catarrh for the paat
seven years; could not hear plain and had
watery eyes. She came to me almost a
physical wreck. She had *ried the Cone

speciabsto, and had derived uo benefit
from them. She told me tfhe did not
MORE WONDERS OF RADIUM.
Terrific Force in a Tiny Particlo of
the New Chemical.
Radium is ono of tho rarest things
upon earth, and is never found in tho
pure state. It must be dissociated
from tho other substances with which
it is combined, by strong, tedious and
costly chemical operations. It is ob
tained from a mineral called pitch
blende, found in Bohemia, and during
tho two or threo years that have
elapsed since its discovery by Mad
ame and Monsieur Curie, of Paris,
they havo succeeded in separating out
of tons and tons of pitchblende loss
than two pounds of radium. That is
all that exists, uncombined. in the
world, and even that is not tho pure
thing. It is mingled with more or
less barium. Tho Curies do possess,
however, ono tiny bit of chemically
pure radium. It weighs about half
a grain, and is said to be of the slzo
of a buckshot. M. Curio has declared
that he would not sell it for 100,000
francs. If he and his wife have a
monopoly of this precious substance,
they are not getting rich out of it.
The demand Is not active. Half a
grain of impure radium in a little
tube is offered iu Paris for $5,000.
A thief who should run off with a bit
of radium as big as a small diamond
would And that he had caught a Tar
tar. If he kept It in his pocket, it
would produce an Inflammation that
might cost him his life. If he held
it near his eyes, he could easily loso
his sight- If he handled it much, his
fingers would get sore and might have
to he amputated. Monsieur Curie Is
quoted as saying that he would not
venture into a room containing a kil
ogram of pure radium; for, if he did,
he would probably lose his skin, his
eyesight and his life!
It gives oft light also. Pure radium
shines in the dark, although it Is not
hot like a flame. But, most wonder
of all, it constantly projects into
space around it streams of invisible
corpuscles, smaller than atoms, with
a velocity as great as a hundred thou
sand miles per second! It is this
marvelous and ceoeolees bombard
ment of Its surroundings that makes
radium so dangerous to handle. The
infinitely minute particles cannot, of
course, bo seen, hut they affect pho
tographic plates .and it waa in that
manner that the existence of those in
explicable radiating streams were first
demonstrated.

tomach, kidneys, bladder and other peine
>rgans have been cured by Peruna.
Peruna is able to cure catarrh wherever
t may be located by its direct action upon
he mucous membranes. Catarrh means
nflamed mucous membranes. Peruna acts
it once to cleanse and invigorate the ca
arrhal condition of the mucous membrane
io matter where it may occur in the
body. Its action is the same on the
nucous lining of the nose as on the
mucous lining of the bowels. It cures the
•atarrhal inflammation wherever it may
occur.
Dr. R. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T., writes:
"Peruna is the best medicine I know of
for cough and to strengthen a weak
stomach and to give appetite. Beside pre
scribing it for catarrh, 1 have ordered it
for weak and debilitated people, and have
not had a patient but said it helped him.
It is an excellent medicine and it fits so
many cases.
"I have a large practice, and have &
chance to prescribe your Peruna. I hope
you may ljve long to de good to the sick
and suffering."
We sav Peruna cures catarrh. The peo
ple say Peruna cures catarrh. Prominent
men and women all over the United States
from Maine to California do not hesitate
to come out in public print to say that
Peruna is what it is recommended to be, an
internal, systemic catarrh remedy that
cures catarrh wherever it may be located.
Dr. M. C. Gee's Experience.
Dr. M. C. Gee is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna. In a letter written
from 513 Jones street, San Francisco, Cal.,
he says:
"There is a general objection on
the part of the practicing physician
to advocate patent, medicines. But
when any one medicine cures hun
dreds of people, it demonstrates its
own value and docs not need the en
dorsement of the profession.
"Peruna has performed so many
wonderful cures in San Francisco
that 1 am convinced that it is a valu
able remedy. 1 have frequently ad
vised its use for women, as I find it
insures regular and painless men
struation, cures leucorrhoea and
ovarian troubles, and builds up the
entire system, J also consider it one
of the finest catarrh remedies 1
know of. 1 heartily endorse your
medicine —If. C. Ore, M. D.
Women especially liable to pelvic
catarrh, female weakness as it is commonly
called. Especially in the first few weeks
of warm weather do the disagreeable
symptoms of female weakness make them
selves apparent, In crisp, cold weather
chronic sufferers with pelvic catarrh do not
feel so persistently the debilitating effects
of the drain upon the system, but at the
approach of summer with its lassitude and
tired feelings, the sufferer with pelvic ca
tarrh feels the need of a strengthening
tonic.
Peruna is not only the best spring tonio
for such cases, but if persisted in will effect
a complete cure. Write for a copy of
I "Ilealtn and Beauty," written especially
for women by Br. liartman. If you want
to read of some cures, also, write for a
copy of "Facts and Faces." That will sure
ly convince you that our claims are valid.
If you do not derive prompt and sati*
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. liartman, giving •
fuil statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable advice
gratis.
