WOMEN MUST SLEEP.
’ Avoid Nervous Prostration.
If you are dangerously sick whnt is
the first duty of your physician ? Ho
quiets tho nervous system, ho deadens
the pain, and you sleep well.
Friends ask, “what is the cause?”
and the answer comes in pitying
tones, nervous prostration. It camo
upon you so quietly in the beginning,
that you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted yon night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness, then you tossed in nervous
agony praying for sleep.

Tor ought to hare 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 semi 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. Mallahan
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
l 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 of what 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

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, sub-di
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.’*

SENATE—Consideration of Repre

. LEGISLATIVE NOTES,
The senate in committee «f the
whole killed Senator Miller’s amend
ment to the bill providing (or a bond
for rent in appeals from mortgage
foreclosures. The vote was a tie, 16
to 16. Senator Crounse, who was in
the chair, voted against it, earning it
to fail. Further amendments will be
offered when the bill comes up again,
as it was not Anally disposed of.
Governor Dietrich has signed the
supreme court commission bill, 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 $2.50e 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 in two or
three weeks.
The vote for senator on the 18th
was as follows: Allen, 52: Berge, 2;
Crounse, 9; Currie, 15; Dietrich, 1;'
Hainer, 2; Harrington, 1; Hinshaw,
20; Hitchcock, 10; Kinkaid, 1; Mar

Kff«cta of Too Moeh 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 ie no
exercise which can be got at any time
and by anybody to the extent that
walking can. But to do good it must
not be sauntering. Really “smart”
walking is what is wanted.
Kamin Villa Site Unearthed.
The site of an extensive Roman villa
has been unearthed in the village of
Rothley, in Leicestershire, the birth
place of Lord Macaulay. The estate
is being laid out for building purposes,
and in the course of the excavations
numerous Ands of ancient pottery have
been made. Of the Roman villa now
discovered the foundations are in an
almost perfect state of preservation.
Skyscraper Makes Clerks “Seasick."
Down at the Battery, in New York
city, there is a skyscraper office build
ing on the top floor of which are the
headquarters of a big trust. During
a violent windstorm last week the
building swayed so that half a dozen
clerks became “seasick." One of them
said he would sooner keep books on an
ocean lingr.
Kansas Adds to the Lanffnags.
A word recently come into frequent
use in Kansas is “buffaloed." It has a
delicate shade of meaning. A man who
is scared, is merely awakened Into the
activities of defense; a man who is
bluffed is one who is badly scared
that he believes defense impossible, but
a man who is buffaloed not only be
lieves defense is impossible but ean’t
work up enough locomotion to run.—
