II Miss Rose Peterson, Secre* tary Parkdale Tennis Club, Chi cago, from experience advises all young girls who nave pains and sickness peculiar to their sex, to use Lydia R Piiikham's Vege table Compound. How many beautiful young- girls de velop into worn, listless and hopeless women, simply because sufficient atten tion has not been paid to their physical development. No woman is exempt from physical weakness and periodic pain, and young girls just budding into womanhood, should be carefully guided physically as well as morally. Another ?woman, Miss Hannah E. Mershon, Col lings wood, X. J., says: "I thought I would write and tell you that, by following your kind ad vice, I feel like a new person. I was always thin and delicate, and so weak that I could hardly do anything. Men struation was irregular. / "I tried a bottle of your Vegetable Compound and began to feel better right away. I continued its use, and ate now well and strong, and men struate regularly. I cannot say enough ior what your medicine did for me." ?t?OOO forfait If original of ata? Aft*proving genuineness cannot be produced. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will cure any woman in the Dind who suffers from womb troubles, inflammation of the ovaries, and kidney troubles.

It has recently been discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of'the blood. This fact ex plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up theblood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease breeding mi crobes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. RYDALE'S TONIC is " a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap point you.

The resolution of Representative Lilley instructing the secretary of commerce and labor to investigate the hign price und scarcity ?f news print paper and the causes which have produced these conditions, was the subject of discussion before the house committee on judiciary. Don C. Seif/, of the New York World, and John Norris, business manager of the New York Times, were heard. Roth covered practically the same ground in statements and the Inter national Paper company and the Gen eral Paper company had divided the United States between them in the control of the news print paper. The International controlled all that sec tion east of the Indiana lino and the General company the territory west of that line. This combination, it was testified to, had raised the price of news paper during the last, four years 814 a ton and during the past year as much as 85 a ton: it was sell ing paper In London, counting the freight and insurance, at 30 per cent, less than it did in New York.

SENATOR BUETON SENTENCED. With Bowed Head He Hears Judge Say Verdict Is Just. At St. Louis on Wednesday United States Senator J. R. Burton of Kan sas was sentenced to six months' im prisonment in jail and a fine of $2,500 for using Iiis influence before the post otlice department in behalf of the Rialto Grain and Securities company of St. Louis, and for having received payment' from the company for his services. When Senator Burton, accompanied by his attorney, came into the United States district court Judge Adams spoke of the motions that had been died for a new trial and for arrest of judgment. The court, a Tier briefly re viewing the motions, overruled them both. The court then said to the de fendant: "Have you anything to say as to why sentence should not be passed upon you?" Evidently suppressing his emotions with a strong effort, Senator Burton stood leaning with both hands on a chair back as he said: "Your honor will pleaseallowme to respectfully decline to say anything." The court room was almost empty, with the exception of a few persons who had remained out of curiosity, and the silence was almost opppres sive as Judge Adams, in a low tone, began delivering the sentence. The court said: "I am satisfied that the jury reach ed the just and true result. The evi dence abundantly warranted their verdict and I find no reason, either in the law governing the case or in the proceedings attending the trial, for disturbing it. "Your exalted station in life and the character of your offense, give unusual significance to your convic tion. It demonstrates that the law of the land is equal to any emergency and that it can be administered re gardless of the personality and sta tion of the accused. It also demon strates to all the people that public office cannot be prostituted to self serving purposes, and that public office is not a sure or safe passport to pri vate thrift. "The humiliation attending your conviction and the statutory disquali fications resulting therefrom which forever incapacitate you from holding any office of honor, trust or profit under the government of the United States, are in themselves heavy pun ishment for your offenses and leave but little in the way of severity which could be added. It is neither my pleasure nor purpose to impose any unnecessary punishment. "I think the majesty of the law will be sufficiently vindicated and the public welfare sufficiently safe guarded by imposing a single sen tence, warra/ued as it is on any one of the six counts of the indictments on which you were convicted. "This sentence will be that you be confined in the Iron county jail for a period of six months, and that you pay a fine of two thousand five hun dred dollars." At the conclusion of the sentence Senator Burton, who had not taken his eyes from the court and who had scarcely moved as he supported him self by ttie chair back, turned and sat down, with his head bowed and his eyes on the floor.^ His attorney, Judge Krum, immediately Hied a bill of exceptions in the case and offered a bond of $10,000 which was accepted. Senator Burton declined to discuss the sentence. The case now will be appealed to the United States district court appeals. The Cause Ol'Tho Blues.
