i Suffering.
gffiMtssArellie fotmcsWjfjR AfaHUie Hart BJ
Whllo no woman Is entirely free from
periodical suffering', it docs not seem to
bo tho plan of nature that women
hould suffer so severely. Menstrua
tion is a severo strain on a woman's
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
omcthin? is wrong1 which should bo
set right or it will lead to a serious de
rangement of tho whole femalo organ
Ism. More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkham that Lydia E. Finkhain's
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
ful and irregular menstruation.
It provides a safe and sure way of es
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con
vincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham'B
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes of 540 N. Davi
nlon Street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes:
Dear Mrs. PinMiain:
" Your inodl'.iuo is intlood an Ideal mndleino

Mrs. Tillie Hart, of Larimore, N. D.,

Tho whereabout a of tho officers of

When this notlco was received by
tho Knnsns City subscribers, tho ma

they flocked to tho concern's offices.
Many pltlnble scenes were enacted.
Tho subscribers had agreed to pay
$1 a week for eighty weoks on tho

JAPANESE PLANS.
Oyama's Force to Be One Million
Men.
TOKIO Japan Is meeting the Hub
slan plan of reorganization and rein
forcement of its Mnnchurlnn armies
with an extensive expedition from Us
own mllltnry organization. Tho detnlls
and flguros aro carefully concealed of
whnt seems to bo u plan to douhlo
the present nrmy units, but It Ts re
liably estimated thnt by autumn next
the total mllltaiy organbntlon will ex
ceed 1,000,000 men nctually employed
In the field. Tho fighting force Is
roughly estimated at 700,000 men,
with Increases largely in tho Infantry
and nitillery, although an enlarge
ment in the cavalry blanch Is nln
contemplated.
As a result of tho manufacture fit
tho arsenals in Japan, together with
captures and purchases of guns, it Is
piedlcted that this year will sec a
Japnnese artillery superior to that of
tho Russians, in quality as well aa
numerically, anif It Is confidently be
lieved that the RtiHsinns will be Incap
ablo of overcoming these numerical
advantages. Wherever railway Im
provements are posslblo thoy will he
can led out when Japan will be suffi
ciently strong to take and hold Har
bin and simultaneously continue oper
ations against the Russian forces to
the eastward of that city.
CASTRO'S REPLY DEFIANT
Venezuela President Flatly Refuses
to Submit Case to Arbitration.
CARACAS. Venezuela (Coi res
pondent of the Associated Press)
"President Castro will not withdraw
the New York and Rermudez Asphalt
company case fiom the Venezuelan
courts nnd will not icsubmit tho 01
cott case to arbitration if tho whole
Amoileaii army and navy come to
Venezuela."
This emphatic statement of General
Alejandro Ybarra, tho Venezuelan sec
.rotary of foreign affairs, reflects tho
spirit of tho reply which President
Castro "do to tho recent proposnl
of the American stato department for
tho arbitration of tho Bermudcz and
Olcott cases.
It was generally rumored through
out Venezuela that the demand of tho
United States was little less than an
ultimatum to General Castro, and tho
reply of tho Venezuelan president
was awaited with Interest.
Nearly two weeks havo passed
since Castro mado his reply and as
no action lias been taken by tho
United States, and no further de
mands havo been made, the Inst de
mand of the United States has gone
tho way of many previous ruquests
for arbitration and tho incident is
practically closed as far as Its dis
cussion is Caracas' is concerned.
EIGHT-HOUR DAY AND CANAL
Believed That Law Does Not Apply
to the Isthmus.
WASHINGTON Chief Engineer
Wallace of tho isthmian canal com
inlbslon had an interview with Secre
tary Tnft, In which the condltlniiH on
the canal were difccusscd. Afterward
Mr. Wallaco met such inonihero of
the conimlslon as nro in tho city.
As to the right of tho eommisMon
to employ labor lor more thnn eight
hours per day tiieio is a belief that
the eight-hour law does not apply to
the canal zone. Chief Engineer Vnl
laco says that It would very serious
ly Impede work to have the eight
hour law In effect dining the construe
tion of the cnnal. It would be Impos
slblo to mnkc uniform hours for all
labor, Irocauso somo labor must be
twelve hours, whllo ten liours Is tht
regular rulo for most of tho working
men. Must Get Japan's Consent.
WASHINGTON The executive
committee of tho Panama cnnal com
mission, Mossrs. Slionts, Magoon and
Wallaco decided to draw up detailed
specifications to govern in tho em
ployment of labor on tho canal, A de
cision from Attorney General Mood)
as to tho application of the eight hour
day to tho work Is expected In a few"
days, and will govern that problom in
tho specifications. Permission will
havo to be obtained from the Japnnese
government bofore tho 2,000 laborers
can bo secured.
"Watch as Well as Pray."
Such Is tho tenor of a note leftTTc
hind by some nudnclous burglars at n
houso In Ramsey ontored during tho

Bplnstor lady. Tho burglars ransacked
tho house, taking all tho money they
could And, but not boforo quietly par
Uikng of Biipper. They spread ft
whlto cloth over a tnble, emptied tho
larder, and, having enjoyed u good
feed, decamped undertccted. Liver

Objected to Buying Teeth.
At tho mooting of tho Wlgnn board
of guardlnns a lady guardian cntored
n protest against tho board expending
tho sum of $25 In supplying a woman
7G years of ugo with false teeth. Slio
said slio was not bothering about tho
prlco of tho teeth, but nbout tho rate
payers having to expend tlint sum of
money in providing false teeth for a
woman aged 70.
Strange Charitable Bequest.
Many persons who wish to bestow
charity hnvo slrango ways or carrying
out tholr ideas. Somo years ago nn
Englishman named Jnmcs Moss left
$)00 to be invested In laud, tho ront
of which was to provldo llvo gowns,
nccordlng to tho will, "of a sad blue
color" for as many ngcfl and poor men
living in tho town.
