Woman’s
ork
Is never done and it is especially wearing
and wearisome to those whose blood is
impure and unfit properly to tone sus-
tain and renew the wasting of nerve
muscle and tissue. It is more because of
this condition of the blood that women
are run down
Tired Weak Nervous
Than because of the work itself. Every
physician says so and that the only rem-
edy is in building up by taking a good
nerve tonic blood purifier and vitalizer
like Hood’s Sarsaparilla. For the troubles
Peculiar to Women at change of season
climate or life or resulting from hard
work nervousness and impure blood
thousands have found relief and cure in
Hood’s

CUBAN CLAIMS SLOW
■W ashington May 12. —Senator Allen
of Nebraska presented a resolution
in the Senate requiring F. R. Chapman
to present himself at the bar of the
Senate and purge himself of contempt
before clemency be extended. The
resolution went over until tomorrow.
The Morgan Cuban resolution also
went over until tomorrow to permit
the committee on foreign relations to

NO RELIANCE ENTERTAINED.
Washington. May 12.—The State de-
partment has received no information
whatever regarding the reported kil-
ling of Alger U. S. consul at Puerto
Cortez Honduras during a fight be-
tween the government forces and the
revolutionists nor of the alleged insult
to the American flag by the Nicarag-
uan steam tug Lucy B.
WHAT IS THIS DISEASE CALLED
DYSPEPSIA?
Like a thief at night it seals in upon
pains about the chest and sides and
sometimes in the back. They feel
dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad
taste especially in the morning. A
sort of stick slime collects about the
teeth. The appetite is poor. There
is feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach; sometimes a faint all-gone
sensation at the pit of the stomach
which food does not satisfy. Eyes are
sunken the hands and feet become
cold and feel clammy. Alter a while
a cough sets in. at first dry but after
a few months it is attended with a
greenish colored expectoration. The
patient feels tired all the while and
sleep does not seem to afford any rest.
After a time he becoms nervous irri-
table and gloomy and has evil fore-
bodings. -There is a giddiness a sort
of whirling sensation in the head
when rising up suddenly. The bowels
become costive; the skin is dry and
hot at times; the blood becomesAhick
and stagnant; the whites of the eyes
become tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored depositing
a sediment after standing. There is
frequently a spitting qp of the food
sometimes with a sour taste and some-
times with a sweetish taste; this is
frequently attended with palpitation of
the heart; the vision becomes Impaired
with spots before the eyes; there is a
feeling of great prostration and weak-
ness. All of these symptoms are in
turn present. It is thought that near-
ly one-third of our population has this
disease in some of its varied forms. It
has been found that medical men have
mistaken the nature of this disease.
Some have treated It for a liver com-
plaint. some for Dyspepsia others for
Kidney wlisease. etc. etc. but none of
the various kinds of treatment have
been attended with success.
Now the Shaker Digestive Cordial
causes the food eaten to be digested.
This will cause an appetite for more
food and this being digested will re-
sult in an increase of strength an in-
crease of flesh and an increase of
nerve power.
The tired weary feeling will give
way to vigor and courage. The pale
thin and emaciated will recover their
color and plumpness. because red
blood and fat are the result of properly
digested food.
A ten cent trial bottle will produce
a result. Its good effect will be realiz-
ed at once. You will not have to take
a dozen bottles to find out if it is doing
you any good. Try it. and then give
praise to the Shakers of Mount Leban-
on. New York for the relief that you
obtain.

Munyon Tells What Not To Do.
S“ ‘ iNo Medicine Unless -
You Are Sick. i
n decries dosing and doping. Why should
ous springtime be the signal for a deluge
of physic and tho golden harvest be
associated with the excessive drinking
of rum and whiskey disguised as bit-
.i tdrs? Medicine should only be given
I to the sick and should always be ad-
I ministered with gentleness and dis-
| cretion. Medicine should be to Nature
only a delicate rebuke of error and a
kind encouragement of the physical
forces for good. The hard work of re-
covery is done by Nature itself c The
human body is more delicate than the
finest mechanism more sensitive than
■ the tenderest plant. To shatter the
liver with mercury to madden the
nerves with morphine and chloral and
to- flay and burn the stomach with
every poison black-listed with skull and
cross-bones is torture more demonic
than the Inquisition.
This is a world of compensations.
For every valley there is a correspond-
J ing mountain for every darkness there
is a corresponding light and for every
I disease there is a corresponding cure.
/' era'/'' 7 V I Not all such cures have yet been found
f / but Munyon has discovered fifty-seven
of them. Each one of Munyon's cures
is a specific for some particular disease and for nothing else. Each one of
Munyon's cures is a climax of scientific experiment the exact fit in each
case. Munyon’s Remedies for sale at all druggists. Mostly 25 cents a bottle.
If in doubt write to Prof. Munyon 1505 Anh Street Philadelphia for free
medical adviev.
THE EIGHT-HOUR DAY
An Amiacable Settlement About to be
Arrived at by all Concerned.
The latest phase in the 8-hour situa-
tion is that almost contractors of any
importance in the city have acceded to
it. but only allowing 8 hours' pay there-
for paying at the rate of 28 cents per
hour. This is satisfactory to almost
all union men. but as they were con-
tending for an eight-hour day with
nine hours' pay therefor they have
not yet agreed on accepting the con-
tractors' terms but in all probability
will before the ’close of the present
week.
The majority of the men argue that
they are not after the wages nowbut
an eight-hour day and that after get-
ting this the pay will gradually be re-
stored. Therefore a large number of
labor leaders are willing to accept the
contractors' propostion of eight hours'
pay for eight hours work.
Mr. Cade the Avenue C planing mill
man. immediately granted the unions'
request and is now only running eight
hot fi. without reducing any salaries.
He also ran his mill last week this
way.
Carpenter'-s union 717 will meet to-
night when they will discuss tbs
situation and it is believed thev will
pass a resolution asking the other
unions to accept the contractors' 8-
hour proposition.
Work in the building trade is at pres-
ent very dull and it was a bad time to
give the affair a genuine test so many
of the leading contractors being idle
at the time of the strike and not at-
tempting to get any work at present
until the situation is changed.
