I WOMEN IN ikV V Experiences of Mrs. Rod MISS MARGARET TIERNEY I A large proportion of the operations performed in our hospitals are upon women and girls for some organic trouble. Why should this be the case ? iV Because they have neglected themselves, as every one of these patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in those dragging sensations, pains at left or right of abdomen, backaches, nervous exhaustion, inflammation. ulceration, displacements, and other organic weaknesses. All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy condition of the female system and if not heeded the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation. When these symptoms manifest themselves, do not drag along until you are obliged to go to ? the hospital and submit to an operatioa?but remember that Lydia E.

DECLARATION OF FINLEY Light Thrown on Absorbing Question by President of the Southern In 3anquet Speech at Greensboro, N. C. At the annual banquet of the Mer chants' and Manufacturers' Club at Greensboro, N. C., Wednesday night, W. W. Finley, president of the Southern railway, responded to the toast "North Carolina and Its Relations to the Railroad Problem." lie said in part: "The interests of a railway, and of the people dependent on it for transportation, are so completely identical that I have no hesitation in saying that every legislative proposition that is inimical to the railroads will be found, on careful examination, to be equally inimical, in its ultimate effects, to the interests of the people of the territories served by their lines." Mr. Finley gave examples of the competition of producing localities; of markets, of carriers, and of commodities, to show that railway charges are the outgrowth of economic laws and commercial conditions. "No rate," he said, "can ever, with proper consideration for the business of the country or of the carriers, De made independently of these economic interests?by legislation arbitrarily fixing the rate. In a broad sense, therefore, the management of a railroad is powerless to fix its rates, it must accept the rates that are tne resultant of economic and commercial forces, which are as absolutely beyond the control of its managers as are the tides of the ocean. "That' this is tfjie, is further shown by the fact that many railroads have never been able to pay dividends on all of their capital stock, while others are unable to pay any dividends at all, and still others are not able to pay interest on their bonded indebtedness. If a railway could adjust its rates to its capitalization there would be no reason why any road should not earn dividends on its capitalization, and thus forever abolish receiverships and bankruptcy. Referring to the argument that rates are kept ud order to pay dividends on wai u d stock, and It these payments are not made earnings could go to improvements. Mr. Finley said that this was an entire misconception of the financial situation, and he greatly feared that an exnsrorpratpri idea of the earnings and wealth of the carriers was at the bottom of much of the exasperated public sentiment and hostile legislation. "The Southern railway, since it9 organization, twelve years ago," he said, "spent, or contracted to sepnd, and is in the act of spending, more than $26,000,000 for additions to its facilities and for capitalized betterments and improvements. This meams that on its present mileage it hasspent, or thus has contracted to spend, within a fraction of fourteen thousand dollars per mile; whereas if every cent of its net earnings after the payment of interest and without paying one penny to surplus, had been expended for these purposes, it would have amounted to only about thirtysix hundred dollars per mile upon its present mileage. The fact is, that proper dividends should be paid In order to create the credit on which a carrier can provide itself, in the money market with the means to add to its facilities in those particulars which are essential not only to its own interest as a carrier, but to the interest of the public at large."

Dangers of a Methodist Circuit Ride in Texas in Early Days. The Rev. W. J. Joyce, chaplain of the House of Representatives of the Texas State Legislature, encountered many hardships in the earlier daya of Texas, when he was a circuit rider upon the frontier. In speaking of his experiences he said the other day: "I hope that I may be pardoned for saying that it required courage to be a Methodist circuit rider in Texas rn Vi ah * !TT"o.rf tr vAOro o rrr\ F CC4.il/. UU?? o. X \J>1 %?J J C4A4 sJ ubv/ A traveled the Uvalde Metlfodist mission circuit, which was at that time three h-undred miles around an<l from thirty to sixty miles between appointments. Every mile of the distance was beset with dangers from Indians. In traveling the 300 miles of the circuit, of course, I got very lonesome and . weary. I adopted some odd methods to get a little sleep and rest at midday. "Being alone I could not post sentinels while I slept and I knew it was dangerous to lie down without taking some precaution to warn me in case Indians made their approach. I frequently used birds and animals as sentinels. "If I could locate a drove of buzzards in a tree I would make my way to a point as close to them as possible and lie down. I knew that if Indians 6hould approach the buzzards would flop their wings and fly o.way from the place and that the noise would awaken me. "On one occasion I slipped as near as I couldp to a herd of cattle and allowed them to act as sentinels for m.e while I slept. Another time I carefully worked my v??y through the brush in a very narrow cow trail that | lea to IQ6 IjttUllbL 11 v CI, -aiiU uiciC) closely hidden from the searching eyes of any Indians that might be prowling about, I had my nap. "On another trip I found the sama resting iplace, and when 1 had been refreshed by a good sleep I mounted ' my horse and rode three or four miles further up the river and stopped to get a drink of water at a little shack where a loie settler lived. He had located at that spot, far from civilization, in the hope that he could make a fortune in raising cattle and then return to his old home and marry the girl he loved. "I saw the fresh skin of a big Mexican bear lying in the yard. I asked the man where he got it, and he replied that he killed the animal In the thicket where I had just taken my nap." IN COURT.

The true way is to find out what Is best to eat and drink, and then cultivate a taste for those things instead of poisoning ourselves with improper, indigestible food, etc. A conservative Mass. woman writes: "I have used Grape-Nuts 5 years for the young and for the aged; in sickness and in health; at first following directions carefully^ later in a variety of ways as my taste and judgment suggested. "But its most special, personal benefit has been a substitute for meat. j and served dry with cream when rheumatic troubles made it important for me to give up the 'coffee habit.' ! "Served in this way with the addition of a cup of hot water and a little fruit it has been used at my morning meal for six months, during which time my health has much improved, nerves have grown steadier, and a gradual decrease in my excessive weight adds greatly to my comfort."

Some three or four states have recently reduced passenger rates on the railways within their borders to two 1 (2) cents per mile; and in several others a like proposition is now pending in the legislature. In (Georgia there is also on foot a movement of like character. Contemporaneous with a reduction in passenger rates, there 1 is a reduction, actual or proposed, in ; freight rates. So that the substance of the movement is a diminution, by law, of railway income. i Leaving the railways themselves out of the question, there are two important classes of the people whose , interests are likely to be more or less seriously affected by the change, 1 namely that part of the public which generally and constantly uses the railways. and those who work for rail ways. The patrons of a road are vitally interested in that road being in a condition to render them prompt and efficient service. They require good roadbeds, heavy rails, large engines, plenty of cars and an ample force of skilled employes, since without these accessories a satisfactory service cannot be had. But we k{K)w that metal cross ties have been condemned by experience and that the old wooden tie, much less durable and far more expensive, must still be employed. We know, too, that the modern engine and the modern car cost largely more than those of a former day; and know, also, that the wages of railway employes have been increased and are Increasing. The only means of providing these necessities is income. Railways may raise money by uona issue, hut a bond is but a debt, and has some day to be repaid, so that income is, in the end, the only resource. Lessen the income, and you curtail the only source a railway, like any other business, can look to, for its successful operation. As income falls, so must fall equipment and as equipment declines so must llie interest of patrons suffer. As to railway employes, it appears rhat in the last twenty-five years the efficiency of the average employe has increased 23 per cent, and for this it is fairly dedacible that it will con tinue to increase. An increase in tne value of a man's services requires, and indeed compels, an increase in his compensation, and hence railway wages are not only higher than they . were but must necessarily, as time goes on, be still further augmented. How is^ the mati to receive his just compensation if the only source from which compensation can be made is constantly diminished and diminishing? As to the railway hand, just as to. the railway patron, there is thus a large question in the reduction of railway income. You cannot get out of any treasury, railway or other, more than goes into it; and when the proposition to reduce rates, *. e., diminish income, is considered, the right of the patron to an efficient service and the right of the employe to just pay should also be considered and very carefully considered.

Stuart, the name or the former royal family of Scotland and England ' (sometimes spelled Stewart) was derived from the important office of Stewart of the royal household of. * Scotland. The foundation of the house seems to have been a Normfttn S baron named Alan, a follower of Wil- ' % liam the Conqueror, who obtained ' the lands and the Castle of Oswestry in Shropshire. His second son, Walonterffi thfi service of David I. of Scotland, by whom he was appointed dapsfer, that is, meatbearer, or steward, of the royal household. The steward obtained from David the lands of Renfrew, Paisley, Pollock, Cathcart and: others in that district. He founded the Abbey of Paisley in 2160, and died 1177. His grandson, Walter, had in addition to the office of steward that of justiciary of ^cotland. He died 1246. His eldest son, Alexander, the fourth steward, f seized the island of Bute and Arran in the right of his wife Jean, heiress of James, the fifth Stewart, and John* known in history as that of Sir John Stewart of Bonkyl, or Bonkill, who was killed at the battle of Falkhfc, July 22, 1298.
