WOMEN MUST SLEEP.
'Avoid Nervous Prostration ,
If you are dangerously sick what is
the first duty of your physician ? He
quiote'the nervous system , he deadens
the pain , and you sleep well.
Friends ask * ' what "
, is the cause ?
and the answer comes iu pitying"
tones , nervous prostration. It came
upon you so quietly in the beginning ,
that you were not alarmed , and when
sleep deserted you night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness , then you tossed in nervous
agony praying' for sleep. * =
MBS. A.
You ought to have known that
when you ceased to be regular in your
courses , and you grew irritable with
out cause , that there was serious
trouble somewhere.
You ought to know that indigestion ,
exhaustion , womb displacements ,
fainting , dizziness , headache , and
backache send the nerves wild with
affright , and you cannot sleep.

F. of this town.came very nearly losing
their esteemed and capable secretary ,
Mrs. Julia A. Mallahan. Mrs. Mallahau
caught a severe cold last winter , and
like many others , failed to recognize
the dangerous possibilities until it had
settled in her kidneys , and left her
with very severe 'bearing ' down pains
and almost constant backache. It al
most carried her off. Mrs. Mallahan
tells the story this way :
"I caught a cold last winter , which I
neglected until it settled in my kid
neys , causing severe bearing down
pains and almost constant bachache.
My health had previously been so good
that I paid little attention to these
symptoms , until the disease had gone
so far that my doctor entertained but a
slight hope of my recovery.
"Fortunately one of our Lodge Mem
bers mentioned Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Her description of the cures they had
effected sounded like a fairy tale , but I
sent for a box , deciding to give them a
trial. I soon found that she had but
half told the story ofwhat they could
do. I bless the day I first tried them ,
and have nothing but the highest
praise for them. "
Many very valuable lives have been
saved by the timely use of Dodd's
Kidney Pills , and not a few of these
have been in Owosso and other neigh
boring Michigan towns. There seems
to be no case of kidney trouble or
bach-ache that Dodd's Kidney Pills
will not cure.

The total appropriation for the insti
tution as proposed by the bill as it

say read the following message from
the governor relative to Senator Har
lan's bill for incorporation of first-
class cities of more than 5,000 and less
than 25,000 inhabitants :
"To the Honorable President and
Members of the Senate : I desire to
call your attention to senate file No.
74 , to which I have attached my sig
nature. There are many errors in the
engrossed and enrolled bill , which , in
some instances , are of such a nature
as to practically invalidate the section
or sub-division of the act in which
they occur. Numerous amendments
were made to the bill , which were not
incorporated. One serious error in
particular occurs in section 48 , subdivision
vision 55 , where it reads , in referring
to municipal bonds , 'that they shall
not be sold for their par value , ' when
the evident intent was to say that
they shall not be sold for less than
their par value. ' There are many oth
er errors of almost as serious a char
acter , and there are upward of forty
errors in orthography , which , while
they may not necessarily enter into the
validity of the act , they at least im
press me with the necessity of direct
ing your attention to this matter , that
you may inaugurate a remedy.
"I have caused to be drafted and I
send you herewith such amendments
to the act as , in my judgment , are nec
essary , in order that the errors may be
properly corrected , and I desire that
said amendments be introduced and
duly considered.
'CHARLES DIETRICH ,
Governor. "

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
The senate in committee of the
whole killed Senator Miller's amend
ment to the bill providing for a bond
for rent in appeals from mortgage
foreclosures ! The vote was a tie , 1 <
to 16. Senator Crounse , who was in
the chair , voted against it causing it
to fail. Further amendments will be
offered when the bill comes up. again ,
as it was not finally disposed of.
Governor Dietrich has signed" the
supreme court commission till , and it
is now a law. The bill carried the
emergency clause , so it goes into effect
at once. The bill provides tor the ap
pointment of nine supreme court com
missioners at a salary of $2,500 each.
Each commissioner is allowed a sten
ographer at a salary of $1,000. Ac
cording to the bill , the three judges
of the supreme court are to name the
commissioners. It is expected the ap
pointments will be made hi two or
three weeks.

Kff cts of Too Much Food.
Much of the sinking , tired and empty
feeling from which business men who
work their brains alone so often suffer
Is due to the accumulation of toxins in
the system which want "working off. "
Two meals a day and active exercise
are the preventive , and there is no
exercise which can be got at any time
and by anybody to the extent that
walking can. But to do goofr it must
not be sauntering. Really "smart"
walking is what is wanted.
