Mothers of young girls at this period of life, or the girl herself, are earnestly Invited to write
Mrs. Plnkham for advice ; all such letters are strictly confidential; she has guided in a motherly
way thousands of young women; and her advice Is freely and cheerfully given.
School days are danger days for American girls. Often physical collapse follows, and it takes years to recover
the lost vitality. Sometimes it is never recovered. Perhaps thev are not over-careful about keening their feet
dry; through carelessness in this respect the monthly sickness is usually rendered very severe, lhen begin ail
ments which should be removed at once, or they will produce constant suffering. Headache, faintness, slight
vertigo, pains in the back and loins, irregularity, loss of sleep and appetite, a tendency to avoid the society of others,
are symptoms all indicating that the organs that make her a woman need immediate attention.

BINGHAM NOW IN THE LEAD
Fifteen Votti Ahead of Broadwell for
Diitriot Court Oleik.
CONTEST OF BALLOTS STILL IN PROGRESS
From Morality of Fifty-Three Demo
cratle Candidate Drops to
Rear of Ills Repub.
llcan Opponent.
At noon yesterday the contest between W.
W. Bingham and Frank A. Broadwell for
the office of clerk of the district court had
changed so that Broadwcll's original plu
rality of fifty-three had been wiped out
and Bingham had fifteen votes to his
credit, the latter gaining eighteen votes In
the Fourth precinct of the Third ward and
three in the Third of the Third.
During the morning Broadwell gained one
vote, which gave him' six votes, all told,
but when the Fourth of the Third and the
Third of the Third were counted Bingham
gained eighteen' voteS'fn the former and
three In the latter, being- a total of twenty,
one, and giving him scored It on the right
side of the ledger, fof'the first time since
the contest began.
Evidences of very queer methods on the
part of the election officials lii the Fourth
precinct of the Third ward were noted on
six of the ballots. The electors evidently
had cast' their ballots ' by the use cf a
black leaded pencil, while opposite some
of the names marks had been made with a.
blue pencil.
Controversy Over Ballots.
The morning hours were spent In con
troversy over some mooted ballots. These
were marked Irregularly and the question
at issue was whether these marks consti
tuted identification marks and whether
they should be counted.
The markings were of several kinds.
For Instance, on one ballot there was a
note to the effect that the elector had been
disabled and had procured assistance from
the election officials In getting his ticket
together.. In another the elector had placed
a cross In all the circles at the top of the
ticket and had then placid another oppo
site Broadwell's name. 1 In another ballot
the elector had made his cross In the circle
opposite the rlame of the republican party
at the top of the ticket and had then put
another cross opposite the name of Judge
Bulllvan, candidate for the supreme court,
end hsd then erased It. In still another
ballot an elector had put a cross opposite
the names of eight candidates for the
office of distrlot judge snd had afterward
erased one of these, sines he could vote
for but seven. '
Leaves Iatentloa Obseare.
Another ballot had been marked by plac
ing a cross opposite the circle denoting the
republican party, and then the elector had
placed five pencil marks through Bingham's
name.. The question was then whether he
Intended to vote for Bingham or to cross
out his name.
Judge Vinsonhaler ruled that where there
was a single erasure on a ballot It would
not be thrown aside, but that If there were
two or more the ballot would, be discarded.
The eight questionable ballots over which
this discussion had ensued were then re
viewed by Judge Vinsonhaler and he de
cided that five of them should be counted,
as follows'
Two for Broadwell In the Eleventh pre
cinct of the Second ward and one for Bing
ham; one for Bingham In the Seventh of
the Second and one for Broadwell In the
First of the First. This gave Broadwell
three votes and Bingham two, being one
vote in BroadweU's favor, and as he had
five his lead was Increased to six.
Of the other three votes which were dis
carded Bingham had two and Broadwell
had one. The court still has one more vote
under consideration and will announce his
decision in connection with It later on.

WESTERN DIVISION IS HIGH
Raral Service In This Section t'om
meaded at Washington, Says
Superintendent Rathboae.
Superintendent B. B. Rathbone of the
western division rural free delivery has re
turned from a week's visit to Washington.
"The purpose of my visit," said he, "was
simply to talk over affairs of the division.
I found that the Poetofflce department was
ready and anxious to extend us every pos
sible facility for the Increase of the serv
ice and that the western division already
takes high rank In efficiency with the other
divisions. A short time prior to my visit
to Washington we were granted an Increase
in our clerical force here, and we are now
able to keep abreast with the work. We
have a force of six clerks now at work In
the office. The rural free delivery service
Is now In a better shap than ever and It Is
growing very rapidly In popular favor, and
the department wants to do everything pos
sible to Accommodate the demand for In
creased service and routes. These new
routes will be added when the requisite con-
ditlons are compiled with. After February
1 examinations for the position of rural
carriers will be mode by a board consisting
of the poetofflce officials at the county seats
from which the rural routes radiate. These
examinations will be certified to the rural
free delivery examining board at Washing
ton and ellglbles selected from these lists.
This new feature relieves the special and
route agents from considerable work and
expedites the appointment of applicants
where their services are needed, and leaves
the route agents to examine and report
upon the establishment of new routes where
they are needed and applied for."

Clippings from bound volumes of St.
Nicholas are the style Just now among
public school children. Fortunate, however,
are those who already have provided them
selves with a neat collection of such data,
for the supply la of course limited, and the
house which has so far furnished the
greater part of those In use, the public li
brary, declares Its stock practically ex
hausted end declines to supply Its patrons
further.
Two or three days ago the assistant li
brarian In charge, of the children's depart
ment in finding certain musical references
for school children found a neat rectang'-e
of airy Space Inserted in tho page in place
of the artlole wanted. ' A painful search
discovered that from these volumes run
ning back as far as 1876 a large amount of
tuch matter had been removed and also
specimens of a certain class of drawing.
"This clipping was dons by school chil
dren," said Miss Tobltt, the 1'brarian.
"About two or three months ago the
teacher of music In the schools assigned to
each grade some prominent musician to
study. Reference matter of this sort writ
ten in a manner useful to children is hard
to find, and we took especial pains to hunt
up references' for the use of the children.
I was very much annoyed when I discov
ered that some of them had been deliber
ately cutting these magazines. It Is not
only that the library files are mutilated,
and the older volumes are very hard to get,
but I am sorry to find that there are so
many who have no feeling for their com
panions that they deprive them of the in
formation by clipping, which all are en
titled to. Clippings were also made of a
class of drawing of objects In close per
spective, and I am of the opinion that the
children trace these and turn them In as
their own work. The clipping Is the worst
ws have experienced in five years."
Two of the moat important additions to
the library have just been received. Twenty
volumes of the Proceedings of ths Massa
chusetts Historical society have been placed
In the geological department at, a cost of
$150. These contain matter dating back to
1710. The Universal Anthology, thirty-three
volumes, has been added to the reference

Englishman, the latter Richard Garnett ot
the Royal library of the world's best lit
