Not at all,” she said. “1 have visited so many parts in so many seasons that I am quite prepared for anything. And, anyway, Omaha has mno weather secrets to keep from me, for I know from past experience here how erratic it can be sometimes. But the people—ah, the people are not like the weather, for I have found them very constant friends. I am always glad to come here and have grown to look forward to these nights of my tour." Madame Modjeska arrived trom Lincoln over the Burlington Friday forenoon in the “Modjeska,” her own car. With her s Count Bozenta Chlapowski, her husband, and also Mr. and Mrs. Louis James, the former starring with her *his season. Here they were met by the madame's son, Ralph Modjeski, and his iittle daughter, Marylka Stuart Modjeski, who derives her name from a favorite character of her distin- guished grandparents. The party — was taken early to the home of Mr. and Mre. Clement Chage, at 815 South Twenty-ninth avenue, where they dined at 1 o'clock. At 4 o'clock Madame Modjeska went to the | Iler Grand hotel for a few hours’ rest be- fore her appearance last evening at Boyd's theater in “King Henry VIIL The actress is enjoying the best of health and finds her work still a delight.

In Ralph Modjeskl Omaha feels particular interest, as he and his wife made their homs on Bur: streot for some time while he was superintending the construction of the Union Pacific bridge. At present he bas similar responsibilities at Thebes, 1L, where the Illinois Central is building its mammoth new spans. Count Chlapowski, the actress' husband, remains in comparative obscurity, not be- cause of lack of talent, but from choice. He is quite content that the public should not be distracted In its admiration of his wife's art by the intrusion of family affairs The count is a very scholarly man and it is to his books that he devotes himself largely.

Mrs. Eckis Stephenson of¥Salt Lake City Tells How Operations May Be Avoided. The wniversal indications of the approach of woman's great enemy, inflame mation and disease of the ovaries, are a dull throbbing pain, sccompanied by a senseof tenderness, and heat low down in the side withoccasional shooting pains. On examination it may be found that the region of pain will show some swelling. This is the first stage of ovaritis, or inflammation of the ovaries. 1f the roof of your house leaks, my dear siste you have it fixed at once ; why not pay the ‘same respect to your body? Neglect and the dreadful surgeon’s knife go hand in hand. How many thoueands of our poor suffering sisters might have escaped the hospital and its dreadful experiences if they had only done as the lady whose portrait and letter we are permitted to publish. Oh, what more can we do to make women believe. State Chairman Young Peoples’ Temperance Union, Salt Lake City, Utah. “Dear Mrs., PINgmas I suffered with inflammation of the ovaries and womb for over six years, enduring aches and pains which none can dream of but those who have had the same experience. Hun- dreds of dollars went to the doctor and the druggist. I was simply a walking medicine chest and a physical wreck. My sister residing in Ohio wrote me she had been cured of womb trouble by using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and advised me to try it. 1 then discontinued all other medicines and gave your Vegeteble Compound a thorough trial. Within four weeks nearly all pain had left me rarel had headaches, and my nerves were in a much better condition, and { was cured in three months, and thus avoided a terrible surgical opera- tion.” — Mgs. Kckis STEPHENSON, 250 So. State St., Salt Lake City, Utah, Another Operation Avoided in Philadelphia. “DEAR MR8, PINKIAM : — Some time ago I'was taien very sick with pains caused by internal trouble (ovarian) and was unable to attend to my house- hold duties. 1 consulted several doctors but got no relief. They advised an operation which I was almost tempted to undergo when I read in the paper of the wonderful cures Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was making. So I began taking it and now after taking several bottles feel like a new woman. No praise is too great for it. It is woman's friend and no woman should be without it."—Mgs. Lizzie MiLNeg, 1616 Taniata St., Philadelphia, Pa. Remember, every woman is cordially invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham if there is anything a t her s, ptoms she does not understand.
