Women s Pains
“I was a total wreck,” writes Mrs. Beulah
Rowley, of Champoeg, Oregon, “from pains 1 had
suffered, for 4 years, every month. Sometimes I
would be unconscious for 12 hours at a stretch. I
did not know that anything could stop the pain
entirely, but Wine of Cardui did. 1 advise all
women suffering with painful periods to use Car
dui and be relieved.”
It does this by regulating the functions and
toning up all the Internal female organs to health.
It is a pure, specific, reliable, female remedy, with
a record of 70 years of
success. It has bene
fited a million others.

MONUMENT FOR A ROOSTER.
Remarkable Feats of Fowl That Won
oeveral Prizes.
A monument Is pl;iniK‘<l for a roostor
belonging to O. L. McCord of Vermilion
county, 111., which recently tiled at the
age of twelve years, says a Ltlooming-
ton (111.) correspondent of the t'hicago
Inter Ocean.
It was claimed to In* the champion
of champions, having won first prize at
eight successive state fairs and also at
the Pan-American exposition. The
fowl was valued* at a high figure and
was considered to Is* one of v the finest
blooded chickens in the country.
Of beauUful form and fine color, this
rooster was one of the sights of the
Vermilion county section of the coun
try. and chicken fanciers from all over
the United States went to Bloomington
to sec him.
lie had l*ecn taught many tricks by
his proud owner and would follow him
around like a dog. It was not an un
usual sight to see Mr. McCord walking
along the street with the big rooster
gravely stalking along behind him.
His intelligence was remarkable. lie
seemed to understand many words and
responded to many simple orders. For
instance, his owner would tell him to
sing, and the bird would crow until
told to stop, when he would become as
silent as the grave.
While Mr. McCord always endeavored
to discourage the bird's tendency to
fight on the slightest provocation, he
admits that there was one occasion
when he rejoiced in the rooster’s abil
ity to put up a good battle. This occa
sion was when the bird whipped a
pointer owned by a neighbor. The dog
had made a dash at some chickens in
the yard when Old Bill—that was the
name of the rooster—appeared on the
scene and attacked the intruder.
The battle that followed was a hot
one. with honors about even until the
rooster jumped on the dog's head and
began peeking at the animal’s eyes.
This was more than the dog could
stand, and. with a howl, he gave up
the fight and fled.
GIVING AWAY HIS $5,000,000.
Iowa Millionaire Personally Investigat
ing Cases Reported to Him.
Abraham Slimmer, multimillionaire
and the most noted philanthropist in
Iowa, has adopted a unique plan for
spending his great fortune in giving
relief to the poor and needy, says a
Webster City (la.) dispatch to the New
York World.
He is traveling over the state in
which he has long lived and in which
he made his fortune, seeking out peo
ple who need help and relieving their
distress with his own hands. He pro
poses to go all over Iowa and then he
may go into other states dispensing
alms.
“I propose to spend the $5,000,000
which 11 have before I die.” he said,
“and I am going to spend it myself
and on people I know need it.”
No account is kept of his charities.
He generously investigates every ease
that comes to liis notice. 'That he is
distributing tens <>f thousands of dol
lars about the state is certain.
The old man takes special delight
in the novel method he has hit upon
of getting rid of liis money. “I have
given little." says Mr. Slimmer when
asked the signifieanee of his rambles
about the state. “What does,it matter
to a man who has forty loaves? He
can actually eat but half a loaf. He
gives away two or three. Tell me
what credit is lie to have for giving?
A dollar given by a man who has but
that one dollar is more than a Rocke
feller million.
*T give because I lov^ to give. I
have enough left to etn, enougli to
wear and enougli to pay my traveling
expenses. What more do I walnt? It
is a relief to be relieved from a weight
of gold that imposes a consequent
care. I see others benefited, while I
am not deprived of what I need.”
Novel Fire Escape.
A Swiss engineer lias perfected a
new tire escaiie. It consists of a series
of folding iron ladders attached to
window frames. Each ladder reaches
from one window to the next one be
low it By turning a crank on any
floor all of the frames beneath are un
folded in less than a minute and form
a continuous means of descending to
the ground.

GARDENS TO BANISH CRIME.
Chicago Lawyer's Plan For Dealing
With Wrongdoers.
A garden colony for amiable crlmi
nals where they will learn to be good
by growing peaches and roses is the
latest idea to be advanced In criminal
reformatory methods, says the Chicago
Tribune. The author of the Arcadian
principle is John F. (Jeetiug, editor of
the American Criminal Records and a
Chicago criminal lawyer.
Mr. Geetlng does not refer to eriml
nals of a dark and bloody turn of mind,
but to those kindly souls who practice
the gentle art of selling gold bricks
to the unsophisticated rustic. These
men with their vast army of brothers
who earn a precarious living through
various forms of swindling are pleasant
companions and not Infrequently blithe
and witty souls.
The present method by which the
rude law casts these men into the com
mon Jail with murderers and anarchists
is, according to Mr. Geeting, the de
struction of ruauy*of them, who are on
ly suffering from a slight moral twist
which might be straightened out by the
applieation of much milder methods.
The scheme which Mr. Geeting in
tends to urge upon the governor and
legislature of Illinois is the formation
of a little town along novel lines. The
town will be situated in the country,
each house standing in the center of a
little garden, where peaches and roses
may grow. For fear the rural simplici
ty of the place might pall on the city
bred inhabitants and tempt them to re
turn to wicked places like Chicago a
stout wall will bo erected ail about the
town, whose ugliness can be concealed
with trailing vines and gooseberry
bushes.
All criminals who have not homicidal
tendencies or have not been in the hab
it of beating their wives over the head
with a poker will be eligible to citizen
ship upon the order of the Judge. Each
will have a little cottage and will grow
pure and at least morally beautiful in
the peaceful pursuit of botany. If he
should try to filch his neighbor's tools
or sell him a potato for a peach he will
be argued with gently and brought
back to the narrow path by moral sua
sion and a fruit diet.
Mr. Geeting is satisfied that his
scheme would prove the salvation of
many criminals who are only confirm
ed In their courses by the present puni
tive methods. He purposes to embody
his plan In writing and have it submit
ted to the legislature.
Duplicate of the Grand Trianon.
One of the new show places of the
west will be the duplicate of the Grand
Trianon at Versailles, now being erect
ed at Colorado Springs, Colo., by C.
A. Baldwin, a California millionaire,
son of the late Admiral Baldwin. The
building will be 100 feet long, triangu
lar in shape, with the outer basement
walls of white stone and the wails
above that of dull white enamel terra
cotta, says a Colorado Springs dispatch.
The Interior will follow the Louis XIV.
style, with large rooms. With the ex
ception of General Palmer’s castle at
Glen Eyrie, this will be the most costly
residence in Colorado.

MARIA
A SYSTEMIC
BLOOD POISON
UNDERMINES THE HEALTH-
LAYS THE TOUNDATION FOR DISEASE
Malaria comes from the absorption into the blood of germs and micn/ies
which destroy the rich, nutritive qualities of the circulation and reduce it to
a weak, watery, disease-spreading stream. The healthy color of the skin is
given to it by the millions of little red corpuscles which are in the hi cod.
These are the carriers of nourishment and health to all parts of the body ;
in other words the very life and vitalizing essence of the circulation. The
destruction of these corpuscles by the malarial poison takes the color
from the cheek, and in the first stages of Malaria we have pale, sallow faces,
poor appetite, a bilious condition is set up, and we feel “out of sorts’*
generally. But Malaria means more than this ; it is a systemic blood poison,
which undermines the health and gives rise to innumerable and sometimes
serious disorders and diseases if the poison is allowed to remain in the blood.
As the blood becomes more and more polluted with the malarial poison, the
digestion becomes deranged, chills and fever are frequent, skin diseases,
boils and carbuncles, and sores and ulcers break out on the flesh, and after
awhile the foundation is laid for other diseases which either prove fatal or
permanently undermine and wreck the health. Malaria can only he worked
out of the system through the blood. Purging the liver and bowels with
strong, nauseating cathartics can never remove the trouble because they do
not reach the blood where the germs are constantly multiplying. The only
hope for a cure is a remedy that can destroy the germs and microbes, and
neutralize the bad effects of the poison, and vS. S. S. is the medicine to
accomplish this, because it is a perfect blood purifier and a general systemic
remedy of unequalled value. S. S. S.
searches out and removes every trace
of the and puts the
blood in such rich, healthy condition
that sallow, anaemic complexions take
on the ruddy glow the liver
^ and digestion are righted, the appe
tite improved, the system vitalized
afid strengthened, and every symptom of Malaria passes away.g Malarial
persons vnll find S. S. S. not only a prompt remedy but a gentle, pleasant act
ing one, as well as a certain cure for this disease. Besides removing the
cause of Malaria S. S. S. builds up every part of the system by its fine tonic
effects. Persons living in a malarial section should, at this season, fortify
their systems against this insidious disease by purifying their blood with a
course of S. S. S. Book on the blood and any medical advice desired sent
