why, for tho past twcnty-flvo years,
thousands of women havo been con
fiding their troubles to Mrs. Pinkham,
and whoso advico has brought happi
ness and health to countless women in
tho United States.

Chicago, 111., Dee. 10, 1900 (Special).
Among the Catholic Foresters in this
city, none is better known or more uni
versally esteemed than Mr. S. P. Rush,
Conductor (President) of Holy Name
Court, Number 20.
His many friends, inside the Order
and outside of its ranks, were, there
fore, much startled to learn that his
life was in danger, he having Bright's
Disease, that most terrible and fatal
disease.
Mr. Rush, however, made a grand
struggle for Ids life, taking prescrip.
tions, and piUs, and powders, until his
stomach refined food. At last, his
local druggist, guided by the numer
ous inquiries teing made at his store
for Dodd's Khney Pills, advised Mr.
Rush to buy ami try some. This he
did, and to his delight he was restored

What this wonderful remedy has
done for Mr. Rush, it will certainly do
for anyone. It i the only remedy that

BANANA PLANTERS COMPLAIN
Fruit Ilottlnif Alone the Monkey
Itlvcr, Ilomlurnn, and No Stcnui-
hi It to Cnrrjr It,
The Clarion, a newspaper published
at Belize, British Honduras, gives
voice to tho troubles of the banana
planters on the Monkey river, south
of that port. They depend wholly
upon the banana crop for a livelihood.
The Mobile Steamship company has
for six years been running a fort
nightly service to the river which has
been its chief source of bnnnna sup
ply, but to-day its vessels are steam
ing past the port and buying their
cargoes In the harbors of Guatemala
and Honduras, leaving the Monkey
river planters in the lurch, Miys tho
New York Sun.
So the planters are writing letters
telling of their grievances. They say
the steamship company has hereto
fore paid n fair price and everything
has been satisfactory. In September,
however, the company confronted the
planters with a contract nnd told
them they must sign It or the service
would be discontinued. The planters
say the proposed contract so changes
the clnsslflctalon of fruit thnt they
would be robbed of a third of their
income if they assented to it. They
told the compnnj' they would not
sign, and now they sit on the wharf,
where the fruit Is rotting, and see the
steamers pnss by in the offing on tho
way to the republics south of them to
load up with bananas for the Ameri
can market.
The planters ore tnstlng the bitter
ness of having commodities to sell
without nny means of transporting
them to market. They say they will
not sign the contract, for it means
ruin, nnd they will not assent to In
justice. So they appeal to the colonial
government to redress their wrong.
Why. thev ask. did not the govern
ment compel the company to ship tho
fruit of the colony when u contract
was given it to enrry the mails? What
will the government do to secure
transportation now that the planters
arc helpless and living in enforced
idleness while their crops are spoil
ing on their hands? Thee planters
have from 3,000 to -1,000 bunches of
bannnns to ship every week, and there
is work for any steamship company
that wants the job.
British Honduras is the least impor
tant colony in the British empire.
The interior has been little developed
nnd everything has gone In a happy-go-lucky
way, just ns Belize was
named. The Knglish who settled there
named the town Wallace. The Span
iards hnd difficulty in pronouncing tho
name and they corrupted it to Belice,
nnd later it enmc to be called Belize.
The Englishmen in that warm coun
try were too lethargic to oppose this
corruption of the name, nnd so they
lazily acquiesced in the Spanish ver
sion of it.
Few regions abound more in natural
resources. J. Bellamy wrote 11 years
ngo: "A remarkable peculiarity of
the climate and soil is that almost
all the tropical products of commer
cial value mny be grown in the snmc
zone. I have frequently seen maize,
rice, bannnns. pineapples, ornnges. cof
fee, eneno, cotton, cassava, rubber and
cocoanuts all flourishing on the same
piece of ground. There is an nbun
dnnce of fiber-producing plants nnd a
large extent of land suitable .'or cattle
and mule breeding."
The crying need just now is trans
portation for fruit, nnd It is to be
hoped that some day the development
of this neglected corner of the world
mny be commensurate with Its Inrgo
resources.
