While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to have been the plan of nature that woman should suffer so severely. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the most thorough female regulator known to medical science. It relieves the con- dition which produces so much discomfort and robs menstruation of its terrors. Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, backache, bloating (or flatulence), leucorrhcea, falling, inflammation or ulceration of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that “bearing-down ” feeling, dizziness, faintness, indi- gestion, nervous prostration or the blues, should take immediate action to ward off the serious consequences, and be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and then write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass,, for further free advice. Thousands have been cured by so doing, and by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “DEAR Mgs. PrNgmay:—I suffered for six years with dysmenorrhea (pain- ful periods), so much so that I dreaded every month, as I knew it meant three or four days of intense pain. The doctor said this was due to an inflamed condition Jf the uterine appendages caused by repeated and neglected colds. “1f young girls only realized how dangerous time, much suffering would be spared them. Thank God for Compound, that was the only medicine that helped me any. : . I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at the time of my next monthly period the pain had diminished considerably. 1 kept up the treatment, and I am in perfect health, my eyes are brighter, I have added 12 pounds to my weight, my color is good, and I feel light and happy.” I am like another person since. —Miss AeNEs MILLER, 25 Potomac Avenue, Chicago, Il of above testimonials, which $5000 FORFEIT if we cannot forthwith produce the original letters and signatures ‘will prove their absolute genuineness.

Agreement With the Trustees gl | MINISTER DEFENDANT ! Document in Question Gives i to Strangers Absolute Con- | trol of Old Woman's Wealth | i | Once more is aged Sarah Woodward, a wealthy woman of Santa Clara, in the courts. It was only a few months ago that she was the subject of a bitter legal dispute in the Probate Court, in which on one side were arrayed her sons and daugite and sons-in-law and daughte in-law and on the other R. Lewis, J. Leiter and Rev. Eli M prominent residents ¢f San Jose, since 1801, have managed the old n’s property. H. J. Parkison, son-in-law of Mrs. Woodward, was the prime mover in that action. He suc- ceeded in wresting the control of the person of ) Woodward from the | Garden City people, and now he wants to take from them their interests in | her property. Yesterday he filed a suit against Lewis, Leit and McClish to set aside a conveyance to them of Mrs. Woodward's estate, made by her in 1901, which conveyance stripped her of everything but a life interest in her own property and stipulated that upon her death it should go to the Univer- sity of the Pacific. The action is based {on the charge that at the time the conveyance was made Mrs. Woodward | was more than 80 years of age and | was therefore not mentally capable of | understanding the import of the docu- | ment. The property in question consists of |an annuity of $600, payable to Mrs. Woodward from Henry French; $533 cash in bank and a ranch near Sara | toga. Under the conveyance it was the duty of the defendants to collect the annuity, use the cash as they saw fit for the benefit of Mrs. Woodward | and collect the rents, issues and prof- | its of the Saratoga ranch. Upon her death what was left of the property was to be conveyed by the trustees to the University of t. Pacific, a relig- fous institution. —_—— THE GRANTING SPUR TRACK PRIVILEGE DELAY Supervisors’ Street Committee Refers Petition of Corporation to the City Engineer, The Supervisors’ Street Committee yesterday referred to the City Engineer the proposed ordinance granting per- mission to lay a spur track on De Haro street for examination and report as to the right of way over the street named. John H. Munston agreed to pay the sum of $75 to property owners who protested against the assessment for a sewer in Hodges alley as being too high. The money will be distributed pro rata among eight property owners. The committee approved the map of | the assessment distriet for grade changes on Fourteenth street between Alpine and Castro and recommended the paving of Pierce street between Union and Filbert and of Broadway between Broderick and Baker. The committee reported in favor of taking steps to compel the United Rail- roads to repave certain streets along the space occupied by its’ tracks, a list of the streets having been furnished by the Pavers' Union. Similar action was taken on the petition of the Holly Park Improvement Club that the width of sidewalks of streets not graded in the district be reduced to ten feet. The committee reported in favor of the petition of the Precita Valley Club that Army street between Folsom and San Bruno road be paved and Folsom street between Ripley place and Cort- land avenue be graded. —_——— HONOLULU, Feb. 18.—Commander Willlam Elbridge Sewell, U.

Judge Kerrigan gave her an interlocutory decree on the ground of extreme cruelty, awarded her the custody of her two children and made an order directing Fkumoto to pay her $11 a month toward their support. Fkumoto was present during the hearing of the suit, but made no defense, even when his pretty wife gave evidence that branded him as a wife beater. a drunkard and a cruel father. Mrs. Fkumoto's story is a sad one. She- first met her husband when he kept a store in this city. She c for him, and when he left this city to return to his native country to estab- lish himself in business there she fol- lowed him. They were married in Kobe in October, 1898, and for a time 4dll went well. She taught school while he ran a little store. Altogether their married life for several months was as happy as it could be. Then one day, because she was ill, Mrs. Fkumoto re- fused to see a Japanese woman who called. Her refusal angered Fkumoto and he struck her. She left him and took refuge with the wife of the Ameri- can Consul. Finally she returned to him and a little more than a year ago came with him to this country, where he again took up the business of sell- ing Japanese ware. For a time he treated her well, and then, after he became addicted to the use of liquor, commenced abusging her and their two little boys. Then she left him and went to live with her father, a Jackson- street merchant. She filed the suit for divorce last January, a few days after Fkumoto came to her father’s house, where he abused her and the children. Gertrude Mills was granted a divorce, on the ground of neglect, from Charles B. Mills by Judge Hebbard. The cor- roborative evidence in the case was furnished by Professor W, M. Searby of the University of California. The court made an order giving Mrs. Mills the custody of her child and $40 a month alimony. Divorce decrees were also granted to Hjalmar Brunell against Florence A. Brunell for intemperance, Eva Kin- kade from Samuel R. Kinkade for neg- lect and Teresa E. Peterson from Adolph Peterson for cruelty. Suits for divorce were filed by Grace Page against William Page for neglect, Cora Hoertkorn against Charles Hoert- korn for cruelty, Rose Sheir against Harry Shier for desertion, Hattie E. King against James E. King for con- viction of felony and Alexander Wil- liams against Gertrude Williams for cruelty. Willlams says his wife wor- ries him greatly by telling him that she does not care for him and that she is love with another man. He also charges that she is not above kissing, caressing and hugging the “other man” when opportunity offers. ——— Sues Choynski and Newman. * Attorney Herbert Choynski and Charles Newman, who were formerly owners of the Richelieu saloon at the corner of Market and Kearny streets, were sued for $1100 yesterday by E.

This is whether an increase in the deaths from pneumonia is not due to the bringing in of germs from the East by the army of strangers who have come to California to escape the rigors of an eastern climate. The report is signed by Dr. N. K. Foster, secretary of the board. He takes the view that there is significance in the larger per- centage of deaths and in the coinci- dent centering of the greater part of the eastern visitors in California cities. “Pneumonia,” so reports the State Board of Health, “has increased 25 per cent. This would not be alarming were it not for the large death rate from this disease in the Jgast, where it has be- come almost epidemic. The increase has been largely in cities filled with visitors. 1If, as is now quite generally believed, pneumonia is a communicable disease, it emphasizes the necessity of enforcing expectoration ordinances. It is encouraging to see that this has been done in some places, but in most it is entirely ignored. One has to walk but a block in any of our towns and cities to see numerous pools of con- tagion in the form of expectorated con- tents of some one’s diseased organs. This is a menace to everybody. No dcubt many cases of pneumonia, scar- let fever, diphtheria, tuberculosis, etc., have arisen from germs carried home on skirts or shoes.” ‘With the report.is a lot of statistical matter relating to mortality in the towns and cities, from which it is made to appear that the death rate, as indi- cated by returns in January from thirty-six localities, was 1.33 per 1000 outside of public institutions and 6.25 per 1000 in public institutions. — e There are more wrecks in the Baltic Sea than in any other place in the world.
