J'o other med U'ine we know of has such a record of cure of female ills as has Lydia fc. Pinkhim's Vegetable Compound. For more than SO years It has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, ulceration, local weak nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life.

The Anti-Saloon league held a meeting last night for the purpose of selecting csndldates for places on the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. Henry E. Maxwell, attorney, and M. C. Steele, merchant, were decided upon as the republican candidates, and T. B. Nir ris, retired merchant, was chosen as dem ocratic candidate, with another demociat yet to be chosen. The following platform was adopted by the league: The Anti-Saloon league of Omaha sub mits to the public In the present mu nicipal campaign a Its platform the en forcement of the law. and In presenting to the voters candidates for the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners we pledge their best efforts In the following particular: 1.

EASTER SPIRIT IS TOO MUCH FOR DUG M'GUIRE Unable to Resist Desire for Fine Attire and Lands la Jail. "Dug" McGuIre, who admits that he Is a waiter and lives at 19 California street, has an aesthetic side to his nature which probably his most Intimate friends have never even suspected. He has developed a love for the beautiful, If not for the true and the good, and In Indulging this weak ness he yesterday got himself Into hard lines. During the afternoon he went Into the millinery store of Mrs. F. M. Schadell, 1522 Douglas street, and upon his statement that he was waiting for his wife, was given a scat In the rear of the store. "Dug" sat down and gazed around him and his beauty-loving soul was moved to admiration. There were plumes and flowers, ribbons and laces and all those marvelous creations which go to make women the fearful and wonderful as well as the expensive creatures they are. To appropriate or not to appropriate was the question which fairly rent the soul of "Dug" asunder. Finally his aforesaid love of the beautiful conquered, md according to the story which Mrs. Schadell told the liollce, he began to fill his garments with various and sundry portions of filmy mer chandise. An eagle-eyed shop girl detected his fell design and a shriek of "shoplifter" broke upon the affrighted air. "Dug" reasoned that he who swipes and 'runs awayi may live to swipe another day, so It was him for the tall and uncut. But many fair hands sought to detain him and by the time he had gotten away from his would-be captors the alarm had been sounded and the pursuit began. He ran east to Fourteenth and Dodge, where Officer Aughe happened to be passing on a car. He gathered "Dug" In and tdbk him to the station, where he yet remains. WILLIAM EVERETT HURT BY FALL FROM HIS V.AG0N Aged Man Unable to Handle Fright ened Animal Rnnnlng; Away. William Everett, 2572 Douglas street, and his wife were painfully although not dan gerously Injured about t o'clock Saturday night by being thrown from a light wagon during a runaway on West Farnam street. Everett was driving a single horse and at Twenty-sixth street part of the harness broke. This frightened the animal, which i started to run east down the hill. At ' Twenty-fourth and Farnam both Kverett I and his wife were thrown out and both were badly striken up. They were taken Into a drug store on the corner, where first aid was rendered snd both were taken home in the police ambulance. The horse continued to run for a block or more, wlien.lt was stopped by Officer KIsk. Everett Is 84 years of age ami this fact makes his Injuries more serious than they would otherwise 'be. SOPHS MAKEHIT OF YEAR Give Annnal Banqaet at Bellevue and Sleet With Special S access. Perhaps the chief social event of the year at Bellevue college, was the Sophomore-Senior banquet held Friday night In Fontenelle hall.

Decorations were In green and white. The banquet tables were enclosed with green and white crepe paper -woven about them. This Is practically the last honor tendered the senior class by other students. Th toasts: "How Green You Are and Fresh," (King John III) Alberta O'Kane.

COLLEGE BOYS GROWING BIGGER tlhletlra Ilnlldlna; t p litre af GiantsDoctors Criticise School ladles aa Rryaad Faplls Grasp, The University of Nebrsska will receive by reason of the appropriation of 95 per cent of the 1-mlll levy for the coming blennlum something like 1742,900. tn addi tion to this there was appropriated 1100.000 out of the general fund for the purchase of ground for drill and for permanent Improvement. Resides this the university will receive for Its own benefits the cash fund, which Is made up of the matricula tion fees and other fees collected fVom the students, and the government appropria tions. There will be spent under the direction of the Board of Regents of the State univer sity the 125,000 for the North Platte ex perimental station; tx.m for farmers' In stitutions. If the new experimental station Is started In western Nebraska It will have to be paid for out of the 1 mill levy as tho governor vetoed this Item In the gen eral appropriation bill. The only bill affecting the management of the Stats university which the late leg islature passed wai that providing for the establishment of a school of clUsenshlp. This bill wss originally conceived for the purpose of forcing the regents to establish such a school and Its Inspiration was Mr. Bryan. The legislature, however, denatured the measure until it finally reached the governor, and was signed In the shape of merely a request to the regents to establish the school when, In their Judgment, tho same was wise and for the best Interest of the university. The bill which was Introduced to start a pension fund for the benefit of the teachers, failed to receive favorable action and was killed. Pera formal News.

The general average Is compared with the average taken in 1903, and the 1908 averages are generally higher than had been anticipated. 'The new college man has grown an Inch and one-hah in five years. He has gained twenty-seven pounds In weight, snd has seventy-two cubic Inches more lung capacity than his prototype of five years before. The list bears Out the assertion, com monly made during recent years, that the American man was becoming greater phy sically than any known race of men have ever been.

Three important additions will be made next fall to the faculty of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, the medical de partment of Columbia university. That of William O. MacCalluin, who conies to the cheir of pathology from the position of professor of pathological physiology and lecturer on forensic medicines nt the Johns Hopkins university; has been already an nounced. In the department of the prac tice of medicine Dr. Walter B. James has at his .own request, been transferred from tho bard profess' rshlp, which Involved the administration of ' the department, to a professorship of clfhli.-ol medicine, and Dr. Theodore C. Janewayand Dr. Evan M. Evans, now associates -In medicine, have ben promoted Dr.-' Janewny to the hard professorship and Dr. Evans to a newly created professorship of clinical medicine. These appointments are of Importance In the development of the medical school not only becauc of the high repute of both men as clinical teachers, and the oppor tunlties which they enjoy for clinical work. but because they emphasise the Increas ingly eke relations which are developing hi the "P. & 8." between the so-called pure science departments pathology, phys iology, bacteriology and biological chem latry on the one hand, and the clinical departments on the other. Both Dr. Janeway nnd Dr Evans are thoroughly trained exponents of "the scien tific medicine," as that phrase is under stood today in Berlin, Vienna and Paris. WISCONSIN INIVEHSITV.

A notable gatheilng cf medical men will be witnessed In New York city next month when tho forty-ninth annual commence ment exercises of the New York Homeo pathic Medical college will be held and the alumni of the college will hold their an nual banquet. For aeveral reasons the two days' program that has been arranged will be the most Interesting In which the graduates of the ci liege have ever par ticipated and hundreds of homeopathic physicians In all parts of tho country are preparing to be In New York on Wednes day and Thursday, May 12 and 13. Many will spend the entire week In the metrop olis, for the college haa arranged a spe cial clinical week, beginning May 10, to which all homeopathic practitioners are In vited without charge. Among those who have been asked to attend .the commencement exercises tfnd banquet Is Dr. Pierre C. Morlarlty of Omaha, a graduate of the college of the class of 'SS. The commencement exercises and banquet mark the conclusion of the first year of the administration of Lh-an Royal 8. Cope land, who gave up his position at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor a year ago to accept tho responsibility of the management of the New York Homeo pathlc Medical college. Homeopaths all over the country were greatly Interested In Dr. Copeland s selection, and the suc cessful termination of his first year of duty will be made an occasion for celebra tion. Another fact that Is giving Interest to next mi nth's gathering Is that It will be the lust general assemblage of the graduates before the semi-centennial cele bration next year, and plans will be put under way at this meeting for an elab orate commemoration next year of the college' achievements In Its half century of existence. Sllll another point that Is Interesting the alumni outside of New York city Is the new automobile ambulance service which lias been established at Flcwer hospital. The hospital, which has been conducted In connection with the college for nearly thirty years. Is one of the lending institu tions of the metropolis. It aseumed re kponslblhty recently for raring for the victims of accidents and sudden Illness In a remarkably large part of the city.

This short course of free Instruction has become an annual Institution at the college, and Is In tended to help physicians located away from the great centers In keeping In touch with the more recent advances In medi cine and surgery. On Wednesday afternoon a visit will be made to the Metropolitan hospital on Blackwell's Island. BEYOND PUPILS GRASP. Studies la American Schools Criti cised by Physicians. In discussing the question of what sub jects should or should not be taught to young children, American Medicine de clares that the mental Immaturity of school children Is not fully realized by peda gogues. It I sthe almost Invariable rule, the publication asserts, that aubject are taught several years before the brain Is sufficiently grown to understand them. This, It says, is the most serious defect in our public school system, which in thin respect, really wastes the time of the stu dent and the money of the taxpayers. "Mathematics In the curriculum," the editorial article continues, "has Invariably been out of place, for It Is a science re quiring adult brains. Even fractions and decimals are taught many years bcfoie It Is possible to understand them. "The proper age to begin education Ih wholly misunderstood. Of course a child begins to learn the minute It takes Its first breath, and In the first three years it prob ably learns more than In any other subse quent three of Its existence, but it under stands little of the phenomena It perceives. Until It Is 9 or 10 years old Its whole pur poses In life Is learning Its environment, and sometimes It Is ten years more before It really understanda the simplest things It has learned. It Is, therefore, not at all strange that If a child is kept out of school until Its brain la fairly well grown, say until 9 or 10, Its subsequent progress Is greater than that of children who must often unlearn many of the absurd concep tions they formed in the first yean of school life. "We must realize that until 9 or 10 the school Is merely a nursery to relieve mothers of the home care of children, a species of socialism to which Americans are wedded. "Studies given to these tots must be postponed until 10 or 13, and subjects now given these children are really appropriate for the ages of 14 to 17, and so on. "Every time a teacher reads absurdities In examination papers she should realize that the child is generally too young, and that the whole system must be changed." CHANGES AT CORNELL.
