PAINFUL PERIODS AMERICAN WOMEN FIND RELIEF The Onse of Miss Irene Crosby Is One of Thousands of Cures Made by Lydia E. Piokbam's Vegetable Compound. How many women realize that men- struation is the balance wheel of 2 womsn’s life, and while no woman is entirely free frem periodical suffering itis mot the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely Thousands of American women, how- ever, have found relief fromall monthly suffering by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. as it is the most thorough female regulator known tc medical science. It cures the condition which causes so much discomfort and robs menstruation of its terrors. Miss Irene Crosby, of 312 Charlton @treet East Savannah, Ga., writes: “ Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound i & true friend to women.

The Assembly has, like its contempo- rary, declared for early hours—a difficult plah to reduce to working rules. But last night it scored a success, its first success in the reformatory line; for at the ridicu- lously early hour of 9:20, the malds and matrons had finished with the powder- puff in the dressing-room, and were de- scending the ‘marble stairs to the ball- room in pale pink platoons, in squads of blue and white. Men? Quite enough to golng home blue. But the skating craze has lured a'lot of dancing-under-protest men, and the dances, now, know them no more.

N | diers and Find Is a | Mystery. A human arm, supposed to be that of a woman, was found in the Presidio grounds, midway betwecn the general | hospital and the car station, carly Sun-| | day morning by Sergeant Elmer E. Samp- | | son and Farrier Leonard G. Bartholomew | of Troop H of the Fourth Cavalry. The| arm had been stripped of its flesh and the tendons scraped and tled with pieces of white cloth as if it had been dissected by some one skilled in such work. The grewsome object was lying almost on the sidewalk leading from the general hospital and was found by the two sol- diers as they were on their way to the mess hall about 6:30 Sunday morning. The soldiers immediately reported it to their captain and inquiries were made about the hospital and camps, but no in- formation could be obtained as to how it got there or whence it came, Fhe doc- tors at the hospital’ immediately exam- ined thelr skeleton cases for missing parts, but everything was found intact. The police were notified and Policeman E. G. McDonnell was sent to the Presidio to investigate the case, but with no better success. As the medical . colleges are careful about interring their dissected bodies the | incident has caused much comment among those of authority on the reservation. 1t is the general opinion -that some one, probably a medical student, was trying to get rid of the arm and would probably have taken it to Fort Point or some place along the beach and dropped it in the bay had he not been prevented from do- | ing so by the sentry or.some one from | the hospital who happened along about that time. ——— BEREAN SOCIETY LISTENS TO COLONEL JOHN P.

City of San Franecisco Is Declared Constitutional SRS DEC Supreme Tribunal of United States Passes on a Case Appealed From the State B L WASHINGTON, tained the ordinances of the cities of De- troit and San Francisco, granting exclu- sive: franchises to remove the garbage of the two cities respectively. The decision was by Justice Harlan and the ordi- nances were- held to be in harmony with the rights of State municipalities to exer- cise police control of the protection of the public health. The title of the California case was the California Reduction Company et al. vs. the Sanitary Reduction Works of San Francisco. The California case involved the validity of an exclusive franchise ;L'ranled by the city of San Francisco to i the Sanitary Works to remove and dis- pose of garbage in that city. The suit was brought originally to enjoin the Cali- fornia company and 140 Italian citizens this sepvice, and the as also did the Federal Court of Appeals. The California company brought the case to the Supréme Court on the plea that the city government had no authority to grant an exclusive franchise for this work to any one. Referring to the con- stitutional point raised Justice Harlan said, in disposing cf the California case: under autherity and at a pia law as a means of the f as a takin T public mse without compeneation cause such garbage may have time of its destruction an element of for certain purposes. This court fas sald tha the possession and enjoyment of all rights are subject to such conditions as may bs deemsd reasonable by the governing authorities of the country and subject to the safety, héalth, peace and good morals of the community. The exer- clse of the police power by the destruction of property which is itself a public’ nuisance Is very different from taking property without due precess of law. In the one case a nuisance is abated; in the other unoffending property is taken away from an innocent owner. ——— regarded | DECLARES TWO ACTS OF LAST SLATURE ARE ILLEGAL | LE!

Judge Charles W. Slack was retained as his attorney. The Supreme Court upheld the contention, granted the pe- | tition and ordered Sohnke's release. In the opinion the court says: There is no substantial reason why those who lend money in sums not exceeding $300 on chattel mortgages of upholstery, pictures or works of art, pianos, organs, sewing ma- safes, professional libraries or office re and fixtures, instruments of sur- veyors..physiclans or dentists, printing presses or printing material should be limited in their arge and the business they do in that re- | spect be made less profitable than it otherwise weuld be, while they or others who lend on chattel -mortgages on property allowed to be | mortgaged under section 2935 Civil Code, and not enumerated in the act under consideration, | or who lend upon pledges or any kind of per- sonal proverty or who lend in sums exceeding $300 upon any kind of security should be al- lowed to exact any, rate of interest or other charge which they ‘can obtain from the bor- rovwer. ——e Alameda Sails December 2.

California olive growers will be very much alarmed when they learn that the Chinese in Asia have gone into the busi- ness of exporting pickled olives to the United States to compete with the Cali- fornia product. Yet such is the fact as revealed by a case now in the hands of the United States District Attorney for the Northern District of California. The matter has been sedulously kept se- cret by the Federal officials, because of an insensate order by the Secretary of the Treasury. Some time ago certain Chinese firms in Hongkong shipped to San Francisco by the America Maru and other vessels a large quantity of olives in earthenware jars, each of ten gallons’ ecapacity. The duty of 25 cents per gallon—that des- ignated by law for olives in jars—was ge- ported by United States Appraiser John IN SHIPPING OLIVES| T. Dare and was exacted by Customs¥Col- lector Stratton. This tax was paid under wprotest by the Chinese firms in this city to which the olives shad been consigned. and they appealed ffom the- decision of the Collector to the Board of General Ap- | praisers. The board decided that when an earthenware jar was large enoughs to | hold ten gallons 1t became a cask.or bar- | rel, and that the Collector sifould have levied a duty of only 15 cents per gallon, which was the duty on olives in casks. From this decision the Governmeént has appealed to the United States Circuit Court. | —_—————— | Victim of Two Highwaymes. FRESNO, Nov. 27.—J.
