7 The ordinary every-day life of most of our women is a ceaseless treadmill of work. How much harder the daily tasks
‘ become when some derangement of the female organs makes every movement painful and keeps the nervous system all
unstrung. One day she is wretched and utterly miserable; in a day or two she is better and laughs at her fears, thinking
there is nothing much the matter after all; but before night the deadly backache reappears, the limbs tremble, the lips
twitch—it seems as though all the imps of Satan were clutching her vitals; she “goes to pieces” and is flat on her back.
No woman ought to arrive at this terrible state of misery, because these symptoms are a sure indication of womb diseases, and
backache is merely a symptom of more serious trouble. Women should remember that an almost infallible cure for all female ills,
such as irregularity of periods, which cause weak stomach, sick headache, etc, displacements and inflammation of the womb, or any
of the multitudes of illnesses which beset the female organism may be found in ' x

of the virtues of this great medicine?
Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and discouraged,

To Harnonize Rates.
It is generally understood that in a
few days the railroads of this state
will make formal application to the
ralroad commission to have the Texas
state rates made to conform with the
interstate rates on packing house
products. Under the present classifica-
tions the Texas rates are out of line in
many instances with the rates that
prevail between interstate points At
the recent bi-monthly meeting of Texas
general fraight agents held in San An-
tonio it was voted to submit this mat-
ter to the commission.
New Crude OU Rates.
The general freight agents- having
headquarters here have received copies
of the tariff on crude oil recently is-
sued by the railroad commission. It
will be remembered that at a recent
hearing before the cmmission the Ques-
tion was up whether or not the wefght
of crude dll should be increased from
1.4 to 7.4 pounds per gallon. The' in-
crease in weight was allowed and on its
own motion the commission made cor-
responding reductions in the rates. The
present rates on oil are the cheapest
railroad rates in the state—cheaper
even than, the rates on cordwood.
W. A. Tuley, general passenger agent
of the Frisco, has returned from a trip

is this a violation ot a Texas lawi I

"The past year has been the most
prosperous one in the history of the
Denver,” said Mr. Trumbull, after ex-
hausting the hearing subject. -The
gross earnings were by far the largest
since the road was first eonstructed:
At the same-time the expenses were
larger than ever before. Better wages
were paid and are being paid to the en
« Dloyes. More permanent improvemeht
H were made and more betterments were
put in—in fact more money was spent
during the year than during any other
yee since the road was completed.
As a result we now have a splendid
track from Fort Worth to Texline. For
the traffic that is done over the Den-
ver it is today the best road in the
state, or at least equal to the best. The
good work will continue. We will not

Houlton, Tex. March 3.—When the
announcement was made some time
ago that the Southern Pacific would
on March 6 put a through train on the
Texas and New Orleans division be-
tween Beaumont and Dallas, it was
considered likely the other Texas lines
which enter Beaumont would arrange
rates to meet the reduction made on
the Texas and New Orleans.
At present the train from Beaumont
to Dallas to laid over at the division
at Jacksonville, and th through trains
to Dallaa are allyjaouston. The rate
of fare from Beaumont to Dallas is
about 70 cents greater than over the
Texas and New Orleans. When the
through train on the Texas and New
Orleans goes into effect, however, the
travel from Beaumont will find a
shorter line to Dallas at a lower figure
than on' the lines which pass through
Houston. It was contemplated at the
time the change in train service on the
Texas and New Orleans was announced
that the lines via Houston would re-
duce their rates between Beaumont and
Dallas to conform with those of the
Texas add New Orleans, which would
necessitate a reduction of about 73
cents.
It was learned today, however, from
good authority that the change in the
lines via Houston would not be made.
It is considered by the lines that the
business on the Texas and New Orleans
will not interfere" with that of them-
selves. and the reduction in the rate
will not be made.

Dallas, Tex.. March 3.—The most
unique municipal campaign ever con-
ducted in the history of Dallas is now in
full swing. It is unique because of the
methods adopted by all the candidates in
the race. The open air speeches, brass
bands, ete., have not been thought of as
yet, but it is expected by the wise ones
that it will come to that before many
days have passed.
This campaign would seem tame to the
politicians of the days of the Connor-
Cole fight, but there seems to be no
complaint made by the voters at large
who want time and peaceful delibera-
tion to determine their choice. Some are
of the opinion that the Terrell election
law is responsible for this condition,
while others assert that it is due to the
local state of affairs and the temper of
the citzens.
Almost every candidate has a list of
voters, including their names and ad-
dresses and he has carefully considered
each one. The known opposition is
skipped, as well as the partisans, but the
doubtful ones are carefully checked off.
If a voter 1 seen quietly during the
next few weeks he can safely come to
