Tited , Netvous Mothers
MaKe Unhappy Homes Their Condition Irritates
Both Husband and Children How Thousands
of Mothers Have Been Saved From Nervous
Prostration and Made Strong and Well.
A nervous , irritable mother , often on
tho verge of hysterics , is unfit to care
for children ; it ruins a child's disposi
tion and reacts upon herself. Tho
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness , and she is entirely nnfit to bear
tho strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves ; it is impossible
lor her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves , consequently nine-
tenths of the nervous prostration , ner
vous despondency , "the blues , " sleep
lessness , and nervous irritability of
vromen arise from some derangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness , alternating with
extreme irritability ? Are your spirits
easily affected , so that one minute you
laugh , and the next minute you feel
like crying ?
Do you feel something like a ball ris
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you ; all the senses perverted ,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound ;
pain in the ovaries , and especially
between the shoulders ; bearing down
pains ; nervous dyspepsia , and almost
continually cross and snappy ?
If so , your nerves are in a shattered
condition , and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra
tion than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege '
table Compound ; thousands and thou-
Bands of women testify to this fact.

At a certain high school in this city
it is the custom to discuss briefly the
morning's news before taking up the
regular work of the day. In this con
nection an instructor in the school in
question tells of a funny incident.
One day the teacher ascended to her
desk , paper in hand. She spread the
paper on the desk , and glanced at the
r-v- head-lines of the first page. "The first
head that I observe this morning , " said |
she , is , " 'Pool-Room Raided. ' " She
then raised her head and with the ut

TORNADO HITS A TOWN.
Kills 3 'our PersonBf Injures Thirty-
five and V/recka Sorcnto , 111.
A tornado struck the village of Sor-
cnto , III. , thirty-two miles northeast of
St. Louis , Tuesday night , killing four
persons , injuring thirty-five others , of
whom threewill probably die , and do
ing a great amount of damage to prop
erty. Forty houses were blown to
atoms or carried from their founda
tions. A complete swath was cut
through the town. Everything in the
track of the tornado was reduced to
debris or blown away. The four per
sons killed were in their homes in dif
ferent parts of Sorento. All were bad
ly crushed.
The storm approached from the
southwest and swept through the main
residence portion of the town. The
work of the wind was quickly done
and then followed a heavy downpour
of rain , accompanied by vivid light
ning and deep thunder. Those who es
caped injury were for the time panic-
stricken , but finally rallied and set to
work to rescue the injured.
.So violent was the tornado that
some residences were swept away
completely. Houses that remained
standing were converted into tempor
ary hospitals and refuges and the peo
ple by lantern-light , in 'pouring rain ,
searched through debris and dragged
out the injured , who were immediately
taken in charge by all the doctors in
the vicinity. Tiie population of Soren

The storm that wrecked Sorento del
uged Alton , 111. , a few miles south of
Sorento , in the nature of a cloudburst.
St. Louis also suffered the fury of a
terrific thunderstorm. Alton's streets
were turned into temporary rivers.
Fourteen miles distant the village of
Grafton was deluged and the main
street was three feet under water.
Ten miles north of Alton a Chicago ,

struck a washout in the storm and
plunged down an embankment into
Branch Creek , containing six feet of

horses and only a few of the animals
escaped death. Several tramps seen
to swing on the train previously are
believed to have perished. At St. Louis
the lowlands of the River DCS Peres
were flooded.

those of the greatest splendor and

humblest , from the glorious Taj Huhal
of India , to the slip of shingle placed
by a little child in its garden , to com
memorate the loss of some little pet.
In the woods , which form part of the
demesne of the Earls of Darnley ;
whose seat is at Cobliam Hall , Kent ,
England , there stands a monument
which perhaps is unique , and is known
localljas the "TotMonument. . " The
present Earl's grout grandfather while
walking in his woods , came across a
wood-chopper at work , on the site of
this strange monument. The Earl
took exception to the way the man
was doing his work , and taking the
ax for the purpose , undertook to show
him tho right way. He made one cut
and severed the big toe from one of
his feet. He was curried with all pos
sible haste to the Hall ; doctors sent
for , but in spite of all aid he died of
lockjaw the next day. The "Toe Mon
ument" was erected by his successor
to mark the site of the fatal accident.
