liow to rind Relief from Such Suffering. While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering , it ( foes not seem to i > e the plan of nature that women should suiter so severely. Menstrua tion is a severe strain on a woman's vitality. Jf it is painful or irregular something1 is wrongwhich should be set right or it will lead to a serious de rangement of the whole female organ ism. More than fifty thousand women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Phihham that Lydia E.

I suffered misery for year * with \ \ painful periods , headaches , and bearing-down mias. I consulted two different physicians but failed to get any ivlief.

EXACT COPY OF V/RAPPER. . . THE OEfrTAUR OMPANY. WCW VQtlK CITY. A WEEK OF THE WAR. WORLD HAS AWAITED A GREAT SEA BATTLE. Armada Han Been Threading Its "Way Northward Little Known as to "Whereabouts of Admiral Tofio'a fleet Minor Land Operationa. The week ended as it began , with the attention of the world fixed on the China sea , through which the Russian armada had been threading its way northward , doubtless in hourly expec tation of sighting the grim ships of Togo's fleet. The Russian fleet , after passing through the Strait of Malacca , steamed past Singapore in well-ordered battle formation , and boldly entered the China sea , certainly making'no effort to escape observation. It was an nounced that Rear Admiral Dewa , with a fleet of twenty-two Japanese cruisers , was in waiting at Horstburgh light , twenty miles east of Singapore , but not a Japanese ship was sighted In the China sea. When Admiral Rojestvensky sailed past Singapore his full fleet was re ported with him. The next day posi tive assertions were made that his four strongest battleships were not with the fleet. It needed much inge nuity of the strategists on land to ex plain why he had divided his fleet at the critical moment. If the simple ex planation had been accepted that the reports merely meant that the Russian consul at Singapore was trying to drag a horring across the trail much of the hard thinking would have been saved. We have now the positive assurance from Lloyds and from the Associated Press representatives that the full Rus sian fleet , battleships and all , is acting as a unit. After passing Singapore , Rojestven sky spent a day or two at anchor near the Aimmbas Islands , and then sent a hospital ship to Saigon , where i.t re mained thirty-six hours before depart ing to rejoin the fleet. From the An- ainbas Islands the admiral sailed to the north , but whether he is attempt- Ing to make his way through some pas sage among the Philippine Islands and so gain the open sen , whence he can sail straight for the Tsugaru straits and Vladivostok , as one rumor has it , or whether he is continuing north along the Asiatic coast , we do not know. Admiral Togo Is supposed to be In the neighborhood of Formosa. The Japanese have closed two ports Ke- lung , on the north end of Formosa , and Makung , on one of the Pescadores Islands , between Formosa and the mainland. If Rojestvensky takes the latter of the two routes mentioned abo < , the big sea fight of the war should soon come. If he takes the for mer route , it is a question whether Togo will Intercept him till he ap proaches Japanese shores. However vague our knowledge of Rojestven- sky's movements may be , it is prob able that Togo , through his swift cruiser scouts , lias continuous infor mation. It seems reasonable to assume that a decisive naval engagement will not take place until Togo can attack with his battleships and heavy armored cruisers supporting his great fleet of destroyers. lie cannot operate his de stroyer flotilla at a 113' groat distance from a coaling base. Therefore , if this assumption be correct , the battle will take place as soon as Rojestvensky comes within striking distance of For mosa. If he can get past Formosa without a battle , the combat must take place at some point near uie coast of Japan. Operations on Land. The operations on land during tho week have consisted only of inconse quential outpost affairs. It is an nounced that the main part of Line- vitch's army has reached Kirin. If the Japanese armies are making any prog ress in the great enveloping movement that Is supposod to be taking place east and west of the railroad , the Rus sians have not discovered the fact , neither has the war ollice at Tokio re vealed it. The internal situation in Russia seems to be developing from bad to worse. Strikes continue at most of the industrial centers , and tho agrarian outrages keep troops in motion in all parts of the empire. There are indi cations that the Cznr and his immedi ate advisers are not a little perturbed over the outlook. This is evidenced by the imperial rescript issued Thurs day appointing a commission to draw up a scheme of land reform by which the peasant may be given Increased holdings , with an opportunity to pur chase his land outright by a gradu ated system of payments. The Russian Minister of Finance has promised the workmen that a commis sion is at work upon a scheme for the betterment of their condition , to in clude State insurance against sickness , the right to form unions , and the re moval of criminal liability for strikes. These reforms are promised for the indefinite future. There is danger , however , in the procrastinating habits of Russian ollicialdoin , and while "commissions" are dallying with the problem of discovering the minimum of reform needed to calm the storm , the people themselves , with less study and less procrastination , may be devis ing Uie maximum of reform they pro pose to exact from a government that has * kept them out of their own BO Jong. CROPS DELAYED BY COLD. Government Report Shows Condition * Throughout the Country. Crop reports fr.nn all sections of th < * country are .suinmarix.cd ii : the weekly bulletin of tie ! weather bureau as fol lows : Over nearly the whole of the country the week emlinj : was : ibmirnnlly : cold and unfavorable for { Termination and jrrowth. In western North Dakota the temperature fell nearly to zero on the IG'tli , : ind on this and the following date exceptionally lo\v temperatures for the season occurred throughout the country eiidt of the Rocky Mountains , freezing i temperatures occurring as far .south as the northern portions of Alabama and Georgia and central South Carolina , with light to heavy frosts in the central por- tion of the east trulf States and I'l Y.t frost at .Jacksonville. The effects of tiiis cold period , which at the close of the week , are not fully covered in the reports collected at the climate and crop centers on the 17th and used in the preparation of this bulletin. Heavy rains were unfavorable in the south Atlantic and central ulf States. , while the need of rain is beginning tn be felt in portions of rhe lower Missouri valley and on the extreme north Paeiflt coast. The temperature conditions on the Pacific coast were unfavorable. While corn-plant ins has continued in Kansas. Missouri and southern Illinois , none has been planted farther north nor in the upper Ohio valley and Middle States. Preparations for planting have been active in the central valleys , where i planting will be vigorously pushed as I soon as temperature conditions are favor able. In the south Atlantic and east gulf States plaining is about finished and early corn is being cultivated. Winter wheat continues in promising condition generally throughout the coun try , but is bermnin : to need rain in por tions of Kansas and Michigan. Very slow proirress was made with spring wheat seeding over llie northern portion of the springlieat region , as this work could be prosecuted only in the afl.T- nooiis on account of low temperature- ! . The early sown sprint ? wheat does ii' r appear t < i have sustained injury from re cent cold , except in Nebraska , when ; some tields were slightly damajrod. Oat seeding' was al < o delayed i : > the ihikotas. Minnesota , lake region and por tions of the middle Atlantic States. While growlli of tlie early sown has been checked and some injury sustained in Nebraska , the general situation re specting this crop continues promising. Cotton planting is much delayed in Mississippi and Louisiana and is later than usual in Texas and theCarolinas. . Better progress with this work has been made in Alabama and ( leor ia and in tin- southern portions of these States is near- ing completion. Fair to good stands of the early planted are reported from Ala bama , Georgia and Florida. In Texas the earlv planted is reported as prumis- i"S. Tobacco plants are generally plentiful and transplanting lias bejun in South Carolina and Florida. While fruit must necessarily have sus tained injury from the severe cold during the latter purl of the week in the cen tral and southern districts , it is proba ble that in the more northerly sections lo tiie eastward of the Mississippi river the damage has been less serious. In New England and the northern portion of the lake region it is probable that no serious injury has been done. TO HOLD UP COTTON PRICES. Planters in the Sontli Organize to Re- : tluce the Acreage. | i The cotton growers of the South are organizing for the purpose of keeping up tho prices of the commodity by curtail ing the number of acres devoted to irs cultivation. The normal cotton crop of the South , writes William ! ] . Curtis in the Chicago Record-Herald , is about 1U.- OUU.UOO bales , and it pays a reasonable profit if middlings , that is the avemg- ' jrrade. sell anywhere above S cents. Ten cents a pound is the ideal price , and al lows the planters to live in the greatest luxury. Middlings are now quoted at about 7cents , , which leaves only a .small margin of profit. If the crop ! - > year is all gathered in will run as hinh as l.j.000.000 bales , but about 10 p.-r cent of it is still left unpicked in : 'ie ' fields , and it i < calculated that iL'.disii.- t OUO or irj.OOO.OOO bales are alreadyiu - ii ed and ready for market. In order to keep the price at 10 cr-nri it is proposed to withdraw l'.OiO.iiif ) ( ) bales of the present crop from the mar ket and reduce the acreage cultivated I 20 per cent next year. To do this it is ! necessary to organize the farmers. Con ventions have beenheld in all the out- j ton States and agents have been np ; > oin- ' ed to canvass every one of the ciuiriiies in which cotton is grown. They are ( all- ing the farmers together and conferring with them , explaining the situation , per suading them to join the Southern. Cat- ton Association , which is organized to promote the general welfare , and the Cotton Planters' Holding and Coirnu-- sion Company , which is to provide t' f > ways and means to hold back 2.uin.i ) nij bales of this year's crop from ni.irk'-T. Ilarvie Jordan , president of the ass . . ; .i- tion. is directing the movement , in v. lii-h not only planters are engaged , but bank ers. merchants and other business men whose interests are involved in the cot ton crop and there are few people in the Southern States whose interests are not. not.A A bit : convention which was held in New Orleans in January sent a commis sion to Washington to confer with the President and to ask Congress to appoint a commission to discover means by which the ex par : s of cotton may be pro moted. At present about GU per cent of the normal crop is sent to foreign coun tries. and about40 per cent is consumed at home. \Yorkmeii Lose a Million.
