I cannot praise your medicine enough." A tired or languid feeling is a iofri oft weik : vitality, and this, in women," is nearly al ways due to the debilitating influence of female trouble. When your menstrual functions are out of order, they call upon the nerves for., help, and your nerves answer the call by throwing into the weak parts all the blood force and vitality they can possibly get together. Of course this weakens the rest of your body. Of course you feel tired and languid. Of course you need outside help to keep up your strength and help to make you well. This necessary help you can get by taking Cardui, the pure, old, reliable scientific remedy for sick women. For tiredness, weakness, irregular menstruation, monthly pains, dragging sensa tions, debilitating discharge, and all female complaints, a sure cure is WRITE US A LETTER freely and frankly, in strictest confidence, telling us all your symptoms and troubles. . We send free advice (in plain sealed envelope) how to cure them. Address: Ladies' Advisory Dept., The Chattanooga Medicine Co., Chattanooga, Term. WINE OF OEM Woman's Relief From Pain i CARNEGIE VS. ROBBERS. The Pennsylvania Capitalist Flavors Municipal Ownership, While the Colorado Professor Takes the Op posite View of It. Newspapers reports . credit Andrew Carnegie with having said recently: "Municipal ownership is a certainty, as sure as I am alive. Scotland and England are ahead of us in ownership of public property. The line seems clear to me. The increase in value made by an increasing population should belong to the city. No city should give away a franchise that be longs to the people, but whether a city should offer it as a lease for a time is another affair.- The lease, if given, should be for as short a time as possi ble. The shorter the better. The own ership should always remain with the city. The people seemingly want municipal ownership and therefore should get it." Prcf. Frank H. Roberts, of the Uni versity of Colorado, who has just re turned from Europe, is credited with the belief that, municipal ownership abroad is a failure. "From all that I could make out," said Professor Rob erts to an interviewer, "the entire municipal ownership system in Eng land and on the continent is ubusi-ness-like in the extreme. In the first place, nearly all the towns are failing to make provision for depreciation of the plants lighting; ' street railway, water, whatever they are operating, in order to make a better showing for the .scheme at present" Professor Roberts predicts that the failure of the municipal ownership wave will inevita bly bring about a crisis in England's affairs which will riot' fall far short of revolution. The feasibility and economy of muni cipal ownership of water and electric light supply of San Juan, Porto Rico, is being investigated, and for a month an expert engineer from New York has been studying the water sources in the raonntains near the city. It is roughly estimated that the water works sys tem after installation of the electric plant will cost in the neighborhood of $800,000. It is estimated that a proper lectiic plant, including the cost of bringing the power, from one of the falls, will cost between $150,000 and $200,000. Interest on this amount at 6 per cent, represents a saving of more than half the amount annually paid for street lighting, at present $20,000. The municipality - of Caguas is waking up to the necessity for improvements and wants to float a loan of $100,000 to in stall a system of sewerage and water supply. ' Other municipalities show equal desire to better conditions, and everywhere there is a healthy public spirit manifested and pride in progress is shown. It is an interesting fact that both Mr. Carnegie and Professor Roberts are members of the National Municipal League A Father's Friendship. thinks he is g-oing; to have all those rice lothes all. his life. ,- f- ' "There lies the best friend I ever had, except you, mother," I heard a young man say once as he stood by his mother's side and gazed for the last time at the noble face of his father as it lay calm and beautiful in death. That is exactly what every father ought to be to his boy his best friend, but somehow it is not uncommon for that beautiful thing called friendship to fail between father and son. The father loves the boy; he spends his life in working for him; he feeds him, clothes him, provides him a beautiful house to live in, gives him every ad vantage in the way of education, and yet, in spite of all this lavish kind ness in material things, there is some thing wrong in the relation between them. They are really strangers to each other. It seems as if a solid wall had been built between two hearts, a wall which is none the less strong be- : cause it is invisible. The son is stiff, constrained, unhappy in his father's presence, and the father feels hurt at the boy's coldness and ingratitude, But my dear sir, how do yoti suppose your son feels at your apparent indifference toward him? The fact that you provide all these material things does not ef ; feet Mm. They are like air and water; he has always had them. One gentle touch on the shoulder would mean more to him than all the luxury by which he is surrounded. He does not ' dream you love him, because you never j turn your genial, friendly side of your nature toward him. You are out of touch with him completely, and this, separation is your fault, net his; for, a child turns instinctively toward a fa ther's heart; and only when he is shut out of it does he go away. This wall is of your own building. You began it when he was a little fel low, and you told him to "run away, papa is busy.". That was the first stone in the pile. By and by he . ceased to come to you with his . little -life's un foldings, because at night you were tired and wanted to be quiet, and in the morning you were busy with your plans for the day. He felt he was not welcome. So now you see him a big, strong fellow, almost as tall as your self, going in and out daily before you, eating at the same table, kneeling, per haps, by your side at family prayers, and yet what goes, on In that boy's heart and soul you cannot tell. He will not show you because he thinks and he has eood reason to think you do not care. Miss Alcott pictures such a case as this in one of her books very vividly, but fortunately in, that instance the separation w'Ss' 'not life-long! '" There came a failure all the family fortune was swept away, "and the ' shock and surprise of that time enabled the son to, get over the barrier and. find his way into his iathjs heart. -As the . lad himself expressedidt, it seemed . as if the failure haid 3me on purpose to help him get acquainted with his own father. If a father influences a son's char acter he must have a sympathetic knowledge of what the boy cares for most. , He must be in the boy's conn dende. One of the easiest ways to win that is to be interested in his amuse ments. The father who will go swim ming or skating, who will play a game of marbles or fly a kite with his boy can gain an insight into his nature, and he has a wonderful hold on him. The two are sure Ho be friends! for nothing charms a. boy so much as to have his father for a companion in his pleasures. Selected. ar .... .. . "Whit i r a Democrat ? Our dear old friend, who never subs-ides an ever errs, but with, spirit, earnestness and wit Watterson, that is attacks us for' including among bosses discredited at the last election, with Murphy of New York, and Cox of Cincinnati, the Hon. Arthur P. Gorman, Senator from . . Maryland. "There is nothing," says the' Colonel, "in the life or character -of Senator Gorman re motely suggesting Charles F. Murphy and George J3. Cox. He is and, has been for many years,' the Democratic lead er in the United States Senate. His abilities are commanding. His person al integrity and cleanliness have never been questioned, i He is no more of a "boss" than Charles J. Bonaparte or Klihu Root or Theodore Roosevelt. In so classifying him, Collier's Weekly not only emulated yellow journalism in its yellowest form, but malignant and dishonest journalism." This is really rather bad. The Courier-Journal of ten, indeed .usually, is in error, but sel dom so seriously astray. Gorman was one of a small conspiracy of so-called Democrats to mutilate the Wilson tariff bill. . His democracy is like that of the late Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, who was a much more respectable indi vidual, but who was so satisfactory to the opposing party that the Pennsly vania Republicans carved out in Phil adelphia a district so shaped that Ran dall could always be 1 elected. Gorman stands- for money always. - He is , an office- broker. His ring in Maryland is of the worst type prevailing that enven his , apti-negro activities, . which have been his sole claim' for the name of Democrat, no longer serve him ; as a cloak. He is a thoroughly unconscientious- politician,; and Mr. Watterson might be occupied more creditably than in eulogizing him. Collier's Weekly (Mired A DESPERATE STRUGGL E AND HOW IT ENDED.

Woodall & Sheppard Never Saw Cigar Before That Equaled Chico For Same Money. While there are many cigars that are just as good as Wadsworth Bros.' Chico, it is in reality in a class by it self, for no other as good sells for 5c. Cigars that equal it sell for 10c and more. In asking Woodall & Sheppard, who have the local agency for the Wads worth Bros.' Chico, how this could be done, Mr. Woodall said that it was ow ing to cutting out the middleman. "We buy the Chico direct, from the factory in Binghamton, and while it costs us more than any other 5c. cigar in our case, yet we are glad to sell it, for it makes new friends and customers for our cigar' department." - Anyone who enjoys a clear Havana smoke,, whose taste is cultivated so that he. knows a good cigar; when he smokesj, it, should, try a Wandsworth1 Bros.'' jGhico.
