I Mrs. Hughson, of Chicago, whose^ J
letter follows, is another woman in high
position who owes her health to the use of
Lydia E* Pinkham's Vegetable Compound*
“Dear Mr*. Pivkhah: — I suffered for several years with general
weakness and tearing-down pains, caused by womb trouble. My appe
tite was fitful, and I would lie awake for hours, and could not sleep,
until I seemed more weary in the morning than when I retired. After
roading one of your advertisements I decided to try the merits of Lydia
13. Piukham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am so glad I did. Mo one
can doserite the good it did me. I took three bottles faithfully, and
besidos building up my general health, it drove all disease and poison
out of my body, and made me feel as spry and active as a young girl.
Mrs. Pii chain’s medicines are certainly all they are claimed to be.” —
Mrs. M. E. lliroinov, 347 East Ohio St., Chicago, 111.
Mrs. Pinkham Tolls Ilmv Ordinary Tasks Produce Displacements.
Apparently trilling incidents in women’s dnily life frequently produce
displacements of tlie womb. A slip on the stairs, lifting during menstruation,
standing at a couuter, running a sewing machine, or attending to the mo6t
ordinary tasks may result in displacement, and a t rain of serious evils is started.
Tile drst indication of such trouble should be the signal for quick action.
Don’t let the condition become chronic through neglect or a mistaken idea
ttiat you can overcome it by exercise or leaving it alone.
More than a million women have regained health by the use of Lydia 13.
Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound.
If the slightest trouble appears which you do not understand
write to Mrs. Pinkhuui, at Lynn, Mass., for her advice, and a few
timely words from her will show yon the right thing to do. This
advice costs you nothing, but it may mean life or happiness or both.
Mrs. Lelah Stowell, 177 Wellington
St., Kingston, Ont., writes: J
l “Dear Mrs. Pixkitah: — You are indeed &
:* godsend to women, and if they all knew what
jl you could do for them, there would be no need
M of their dragging out miserable lives in agony. .
f “I suffered for years with bearing-down pains,
womb trouble, nervousness, and exc ruciating head
ache, but a few bottles of Lydia E. Plnkham’s
— Vegetable Compound made life look
new and promising to me. I am light and
Jl \ happy, and I do not know what sickness
V * I is, and I now’ enjoy the best of health.”
9 Lydia E. Pinkbam’s Vegetable
mm *1 uompouna can always oe reuca upon to reetore
health to women who thus suffer. It is a sovereign cure for
the worst forms of female complaints.—that bearing-down feeling, weak
back, falling and displacement or the womb, inflammation of the ovaries, and
all troubles of the uterus or womb. It dissolves and expels tumors from the
uterus in the early stage of development, and cheeks any tendency to cancer

entire female system. Its record of cures is the greatest in the world, and

NEBRASKA STATE NEWS
CUT MADE CY GREAT WESTERN
Materially Charges the Omaha Crain
Rates.
This statement was made by the
Chicago Great Western: Tin* inevita
ble result or the 2 cent reduction in
the grain rates made by the North
western railway December 28. last,
has developed in the publication of
new proportional rate from Omaha.
Council bluffs. St. Joseph and Kansas
City to Chicago.
When the Northwestern railway re
duced tre tnrouga rates trom Nebras
ka and Southern Kansas points on
grain its competitors at junction
poin s were obliged to meet the reduc
tion. The Northwestern touches rail
way lines in Nebraska which only
reach the Missouri river at St. Joseph;
and at other paints it touches railway
lines whose only Missouri river point
is Kansas City.
The through rates on grain from sta
tions on the Kansas Nebraska bound
ary line prior to the reduction by the
Northwestern railway were the same
through Kansas City. St. Joseph and
Omaha to Chicago, the proportional
cast of Omaha. Council Bluffs. St. Jo
seph and Kausas City being 14 cents
on wheat, and from 13 to 11 cents on
corn, and the Chicago Great Western
has announced these proportional
rates to take effect on January 30.
In the same tariffs is a proportional
rate of 9 cents on wheat and 8 cents
on corn from Omaha. St. Joseph, Kan
sas City, and Leavenworth to Min
neapolis. the through rates from
Southern Nebraska and Northern Kan
sas points to Minneapolis in effect
now lining on a basis equal to 9 cents
from Omaha and Kansas City.
The local rales to Omaha and Kan
sas City from Northern Kansas and
Southern Nebraska points, added to
the 14 cent rate on wheat and 13
cent rate on corn, the present propor
tional rates of the Great Western
make a 5 cent higher through rate
than the rate that lias been in effect
by other lines for tne past thirty days,
and the Great Western has found it
necessary to make a proportional rate
of 9 cents on wheat and 8 cents on
corn from Kansas City and Omaha to
Minneapolis to meet the current rate-;
of the other lines.
TO FIGHT INSURANCE LAW.
Foreign Companies Will Enjoin Omaha
City Tax.
OMAHA.—Foreign lire insurance
companies doing business in Nebraska
will attack the validity of the insur
ance sections of the new revenue law,
and Attorneys (Ireene, Breckenridge

which will be levied on February 2.
The supreme court of Nebraska last
month decided that the new revenue
law, as a whole, ts valid, but intimated
that single sections might be attacked,
if deemed Inequitable.
The ground for the attack upon the
tax levy will be that section 58. tin
dpr whicn the assessment and levy
are made, is void because the tire in
surance companies are dlscriminat
against, contrary to the constitution,
which requires property taxes to be by
valuation, and uniform.
Should this section be held consti
tutional. the old law will not thereby !
be revived, but foreign fire insurant1" |
companies will lie taxed under section |
12 of the new law which relates to j
the assessment and taxation of per- j
sonal property, and which provides
that it shall be assessed at 20 per
cent of its actual cash value.
