Mrs Pinkham Tells How Ordinary Tasks Produce Displacements
Apparently trifling incidents in womans daily life frequently produce
displacements of the womb A slip on the stairs lifting during- menstruation
standing- at a counter running- a sewing- machine or attending to the most
ordinary tasks inoy result in displacement and a train of serious evils is started
The first indication of such trouble should be the signal for quick action
Dont let the condition become chronic through neglect or a mistaken idea
that you can overcome it by exercise or leaving it alone
More than a million women have regained health by the use of 3Jydia 3
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
If the slightest trouble appears which you do not understand
write to Mrs Pinkham at Lynn Mass for her advice and a few
timely words from her will show you the right thing to do This
cdiico costs you nothing but it may mean life or happiness or both

NEBRASKA STATE NEWS
CUT MADE BY GREAT WESTERN
Materially Changes the Omaha Grain
Rates
This statement was made by the
Chicago Great Western The inevita
ble result of 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 the tnrougn rates irom Nebras
ka and Sou4 hern Kansas points on
grain it3 competitors at junction
points were obliged to meet the reduc
tion The Northwestern touches rail
way lines in Nebraska which only
roach the Missouri river at St Joseph
and at other points 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
east of Omaha Council Bluffs St Jo
seph and Kansas City being 14 cents
on wheat and from iJ 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 being on a basis equal to 9 cents

tional rates of the Great Western

and the Great Western has found it
necessary to make a proportional rate
of 9 cents on wheat and 8 bents on
corn from Kansas City and Omaha to
Minneapolis to meet the current rates
cf the other lines
TO FIGHT INSURANCE LAW
Foreign Companies Will Enjoin Omaha
City Tax
OMAHA Foreign fire insurance
companies doing business in Nebraska
will attack the validity of the insur
ance sections of the new revenue law
and Attorneys Greene Breckenridge
and Kinsler attorneys for the com
panies will enjoin the Omaha city taxj
which will be levied on February 2
The supreme court of Nebraska last
month decided that the new revenue
law as a whole is 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 un
der whicn the assessment and levy
are made is void because the fire in
surance companies are discriminat
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 insurance
companies will be taxed under section
12 of the new law which relates to
the assessment and taxation of per
sonal property and which provides
that it shall be assessed at 20 per
cent of its actual cash value
