This seems to be sweeping state ment of the condition of American women. Yet how many do you know who are perfectly well an'1 do not have some trouble arising fror. d derange ment of the female organism which manifests itself in headaches, back aches, nervousness, that bearing-down feeling, painful or irregular menstrua tion, leneorrhrea., displacement of the terns, ovarian trouble, indigestion or sleeplessness? There is a tried and true remedy for all these ailments. Lydia B. Piijkham's Vegetable Com pound has restored more American women to health than all other reme dies in the world. It regulates, strengthens and cures dlseahes of the female organism as nothing else can. For thirty years it has been curing the worst forms of female com plaints. ' Such testimony as the following should be convincing. Mrs. T. C. WiUaden, of Manning, la., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "1 can truly sy that you hare Raved my life and I cannot express my gratitude to you in words. For two years I Hpent lots of money in doctoring without any benefit for men strual irregularities and I had given up all hopes 4 ever being well sg!n, but I was persu M to ry Lydia E. Finkhara's Vege tabte'uompouBrf and three bottles have re stored me to perfect health . Had it not been for you I wunld have been in my grave to-rtay." Miss Mattie TTenrv, Vice-President of Danville Art Club, 4C9 Green St., Dan ville, Va., writes: Dear Mrs. Piokhsm : "Nanyyesrs'suffer ing with female weakness, inuammatlnn and a broken down system made me more anx ious to die than toii ve. but Lydia E.

Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound at once removes' such troubles. No other medicine in the world has received such unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best. A light heart, a cheerful countenance, and all the charms of grace and beauty are dependent upon proper action of the bodily organs. You cannot look well unless you feel well. Mrs. Pink ham invites all sick women to write her for advice. Her advice and medicine have restored thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. Lydia E.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. (Special Tele gram.) 'Elmer B. Thomas of Omaha was admitted to practice In the supremeeourt today. After Chief Judtlce Fuller announced that the rehearing was denied In the case of Pehnison against Christian, Mr. Thomas asked that the mandate of the supreme court in the above case be Issued at once. After a short consultation among the Jus tices the chief justice directed that the mandate Issue Instantly. tsi Instructions not to give out a copy of the bill until after Dennison had put In an ap pearance. For this reason I advised Pen nlson not to go to Harrison county, not knowing exactly what he Is charged with. As soon as we file the bonds we will be, entitled to the copy of the indictment. "This Is as far as we. can go until the case is called for trial. Then we may pro ceed, as time shall determine, either by de murrer or motion to quash, or both, for the bill Is open to both motion and demurrer." When Tom Dennison was notified yester day afternoon that tho supremo court at Washington had ordered a mandate in his ae Issued t once to turn him over to Marshal Christian for the Iowa authorities lie' snld he had all arrangements made for giving ball at I.gan. and that a good bond for the amount of $12,500 would be offered for approval to the clerk of the court of Harrison county as soon as the mandate Is received from Washington. He will not go t Logan until he is wanted for actual . trial before the court. W. J. Connell, who IS Dennison' principal attorney, soid: "The mandate will bring the case one step nearer to tflal.

RUINOUS TO REGULAR ESTABLISHMENTS Hesolntlons Condemning the Practice Adopted at Meeting; ,nat Mght, to Be Followed Up by Uther Action. Ill the opinion of the members of the Hotel and Restaurant Men's association, the lunchea served at the Commercial club are altogether too good for the price. The price Is 40 cents, or only 10 cents more than the epitome of oblivion and utter self-debasement and the men who are In the same kind of business for something besides their health assert that the feed Is worth not less than a cold hard $1. ' In addition, the restaurant and hotel men say that the Commercial club menage is going abroad and catering for banquets, quiet little dinners and the like," all of which cuts In deeply on the profit side of the ledgers of those who claim a legiti mate right to appease the appetites of all who have the cash to pay. Therefore this resolution was adopted at the regular meeting of the association at the Millard hotel last night: Resolved. That it Is the Bense of this meeting that the system of catering as now conducted by the Commercial club of Omaha Is unfair and injurious to the catering and restaurant business of the city, and that Inasmuch as the Commercial club was organized for the purpose of fos tering and protecting the legitimate busi ness Interests of Omaha, of which the res tauranteurs and caterers are an important part, therefore, be It further Resolved, That such business on the part of the Commercial club has our unqualified disapproval. Will Xot Rest Here. Nor docs the association Intend t'o let the matter rest with the mere resolution. It was planned to take the matter up vig orously with the Commercial club and to seek to.havc the latter organization change Its ways. The Improved luncheon was put In not many months ago after the club rooms had been renovated and refurnished at considerable expense and has proved a great drawing card owing to Its uniform excellence, the Idea being to make the luncheon a feature that would draw a large dully attendance and congregation of members and their guests and friends. A member of the Restaurant and Hotel Men's association said: "No legitimate business can compete against the Commer cial club luncheon, which Is sold far below cost, the difference being made up out of the club treasury. All that Is desired Is fair competition. The luncheon and cater ing has already cut Into the business of the best known down-town cafes to the extent of hundreds of dollars a day. It la simply ruinous and the restaurant and hotel men believe they should be protected In some way. They are not backed up by a fund which may be drawn upon at any time to make up deficits and most assuredly cannot afford to sell $1 meals for 40 cents." Officers All Ile-elrcted. All the old officers of the association were re-elected as follows: President, John Halplne; vice president. W. W. -Cole; treasurer. W. S. Balduff; secretary, I. A. Medlar; executive committeemen, Rome Miller, William Duthorn and Herman Peters. Light refreshments were served at the meeting and the subject of Incorporating the organization discussed. made concerning cases where depreciation could be proven and the various nuisances arising from the tanks were described at length. It was finally agreed that Coun cilman Hoye should confer Ith the legal department and have an ordinance pre pared for Introduction Into the council which will seek to compel the gas company to abate the declared nuisance. A second hearing was had on the ordi nance proposing to enforce the testing of all Ice before It is cut and the measure w axaln tabled.
