PAINFUL - _ ^ Suggestions How to Sufife: ' While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Menstruation is a severe strain on a woman's vitality. If it is painful or irregular something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to a serious derangement of the whole female organt ismMore than fifty thousand women have testified in srrateful letters to Mrs. ^ Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound overcomes painful and irregular menstruation. It provides a safe and sure way of escape from distressing and dangerous vS weaknesses and diseases. The two following letters tell so convincingly What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will do for g? women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers. Miss Nellie Holmes of 540 N. Davition Street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes: Bear Mrs. Pinkham:? " Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine for women. I suffered misery for years with ( painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down pains. I consulted two different physicians . {. oat failed to get auy relief. A friend from the East advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did so, and no longer suffer as I did before. My periods are natural-every ache and pain is gone, and my general health is much improved. I advise all women who suffer to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Mrs. Tillie Hart, of Larimore, N. D., writes: Bear Mrs. Pinkham:? "I might have have been spared many months of suffering and pain had I only v known of thie eihcacy of Lydia E.

THE GREAT BATTLE WON It Only Remains for Farmers of the South to Demand True Value of Staple, Says Secretary Cheatham. Richard Cheatham, secretary of the Southern Cotton Association makes the following statement in regard to the cotton market: "The cotton growers of the south, through and with the assistance of their organization, the Southern Cotton Association, are slowly but surely winning the greatest commercial battle ever known to the world," said a cotton man Saturday. "They are being applauded by millions of people, who are watching the great fight that is being successfully waged by them to throw off the yoke of thieving and speculative manipulators that has held them so long, and has been the means of enabling the spinners to grow enormously wealthy at the expense of the poor farmer. "Those who stcod loyal to the association and accepted its advice, as given last January, to fix a price of 10 cents per pcund on their cotton ?demand it and get it?did so, notwithstanding there were thousands who decried their efforts by saying: "'Impossible, foolish, etc.' "On September 7 the association advised the farmers to ask 11 cents for their cotton, as conditions fully warranted that price.. Many fixed that price and sold for it. "Now, on December 1, the fact that the "crop is very short has been established beyond the shadow of a doubt, and only a small remnant of that left unsold, also that*the markets are bare- of dry goods with future prices formally advanced, cotton mills loaded down with contracts and orders for goods for several months ahead, and only with about half enough cotton in sight to fill them. "Will they pay 15 cents for cotton? Why, of course, they will, if you ask It. If you do not, they will take it at 5 cents, as they have done in the past. "Decide for yourselves?let them have it at its actual value, 15 cents-, or let them take it at their price, 5 cents?it is yours?do as you please, but remember that if you sell for less than its value, 15 cents, you are not only injuring yourselves, but ev a? nnftnn 1c hole? I Cry vmci unuci vi. WI.WU w?o I denied his price, while you are giving yours away, which prevents the advance as long as they can get it at less than its value. "Hundreds of thousands of bales are being pledged to the Southern Cotton Association for 15 cents, enough to force the price to Its value very soon, unless buyers can continue to get yours that is not pledged at their prices; in this event the price cannot reach out ot the way at their prices; then the loyal ones will again reap the benefits of their association's hard work in their liehalf." UNION HELD IN CONTEMPT. Court Decision Against Chicago Typographical Officials.

Mr. Gompers reiuteu tne cnarge irequently made that the federation is not sincere in its opposition to child labor and acts through selfish motives. Mr. Gompers mentioned the attacks which have been made upon labor organizations in the south for their advocacy of laws protecting children and discussed the conditions in southern factories, where negro children are excluded and white children are employed exclusively. The result is the negro children are in school, while the whites work, Mr Gompers declared, and the very men who disfranchised the negroes are now working great injustice to the whites of the laboring classes. Eidridge T. Gerry of New York, the leader !h the movement to protect children, was quoted by Mr. Gompers 4-Wr-v kArta far onfl ahi IH as sajiug mai uic ivi labor laws lies with, organized- labor, which, has been behind all the legislation so far obtained. , Felix Adler of Columbia University, chairman of the committee, opened the session with a plea for a constant effort to better the condition of child labor. The general subject for the day was legislation for the District of Columbia. Charles P. 'Neill, United States labor commissioner, said there is less child labor in the national capital than* elsewhere, but declared that the evA exists there in worse form than in most cities. Nothing in the district's laws prevents the employment of children, and consequently they frequently are required to work from ten to thirteen hours a day. BAD BREAK OW GERMAN TARS. Officers from Gunboat Go Ashore in Brazil and Illegally Take Deserter. The Brazilian embassy at Washington has received a telegram from Baron de Rio Branco, the minister or foreign affairs, stating that a few days ago several of the officers of the German gun boat Panther went ashore in civilian dress and visited a small fishing town called Itajahny, in the state of Santa Catalina, and there without any form of process seized a man named Stelnhoff, who had left his native country, Germany, as a deserter from the army, and took him with them as a prisoner on the Panther. The first secretary of the Brazilian embassy declared that relations between Germany and Brazil have of late- been very cordial. It was greatly regretted at the Brazilian embassy that this incident happened, though it is felt that Germany will give prompt and full redress for what at first report appears to be a severe breach of International law. It is not known under whose orders the officers of the Panther acted, er whether they started out on shore with the intent of taking Steinhoff a prisoner, and in that case why they went in civilian dress.
