Many women are denied the happiness of i \ _ children through derangement of the genera. tive organs. Mrs. Beyer advises women to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR lrs. Plrxrr º :-- I suffered with stomach complaint for years. I got so bad that I could not carry my children but five months, then would have a miscarriage.

Weloo CONNECTICUT IS POWERFUL ADDITION TO AMERICAN NAVY There went overboard from the gov ernment ways in the Brooklyn navy yard Sept. 29 a battleship the superior of any of her type save her sister ves sel, the Louisiana, which was recently launched from the yards of a private shipbuilder. The Connecticut and the Louisiana are two of the most powerful l)att!e ships that have ever been built. The designs were found to be so satisfac tory that they were adopted for three later battleships subsequently author ized by congress, these belg the Ver mont, the Kansas and the Minnesota, all now in course of construction, but none very far advanced toward conm pletion. Designed for giving heavy blows and for receiving them, the main points of interest ablut a battle:ship lies in her bat!tery and s: stem of ar- 1 mior protection. The ('onulectiutl is designed, to carry a battery of four 12-inch rifles, eight S-inch rifles, twelve 7-inch rifles, twenty 3-inch rifles, a t i r11 a tr t The First Connecticut. th twelve 3-pouldezrs (automatic), eight tv 1-pourder (automatic, eight machine th i guns. two 3-inch fle:2 guns and four I torpedo tubes. "It goes without saying." writes the ter Inaval expert of the Scientitic Amer !ian, "that this is a tre:nen(t;dus bat- co tery. All the guns are of the latest an lhigh velocity, long calble, rapid-fire i n type. The 12-inch has a muzzle veloc- Yo ity of 2,80o foot seconds, an energy of so 46,246 foot tons and a penetration of she iron at the muzzle of 4-7.2 inches. The Th S-inch gun has also a velocity of 2,t00 vat foot seconds, and its energy at the out muzzle is 13,6(:0 foot tons. while it is go: capable of penetrating 31.4 inches of 1 iron at the muzzle. The 7-inch gun yes is fifty calibres in length, has a veloc- ar ity of 2,900 feet per second, a muzzle ed. energy of 9,646 foot tons and can pen- stru etrate 28.7 inches of iron at the muz- Nev 'tle. The excellent 3-inch gun has the bee; high velocity of 3,000 feet per second app; and a muzzle energy of 874 foot tons." thet By reason of her memorable trip M around the Horn and her splendid ploy work at Santiago, the Oregon has been likes popularly regarded as a battleship ernm unequaled. The Oregon certainly of it was and still is a superb fighting ma- men chine, but her chances of winning in wori an encounter with the Connecticut ceas would be about the same as those of TL ýNvru~ o TM,ýcranos 9pt or N[ORI O OýýrOT~NOmo ' (D~L) ulBý[ttoIo. ·'fle (voe5l rouNONNS V RA/IDU*DIIR 12'e,ý J NAP)DDIo~i Ph1GMI7 JIOWIWG 27lf' Ni7L8Zk..J12 d A2SJTION1S OFPCiU' Latest Addition to U nited States Navy. John L. Sullivan if now pitted against i Jeffries, the new champion of the ring. The defense arrangements, accord. ing to the expert authority quoted, are the most complete to be found in any design built or building today. There is an unbroken belt of Krupp armor from stem to stern, which is eleven inches in thickness at the water line amidships, and tapers gradually to a minimum thickness of four inches at the ends. Associated with this is a gov- complete steel deck three inches it navy thickness, which slopes toward th, erior sides of the vessel to a junction with yes- the side armor below the water line ntly It is alo sloped forward and aft to a vate junction below the water line with the stem and stern. ana In addition to the belt of KrupF tile- steel that protcts the waterline near The ly 8,000 cubic feet of corn pitch cellu ;t ;fac- lose will be driven in back of the belt ', uree armor throughout the length of the hot- ship, the mass being tightly rammed er- Into a steel cofferdam, which is wta, worked in as part of the structure of but the ship.

If it should penetrate the three inch steel deck several feet more of lbl( coal woolh! be encountered, and it is Thl' pretty saf) to say that such frag- tmi ments of the shell as might reach the inf vitals of the ship would have lost so no I much of their velocity as to be capa. 1 ble of doing very little harm when ing they got there. Pai It, is interesting to note that in the the building of the Coinecticut and the Louisiana there has be-n a rivalry be tween the grve rnnent buiilers and I the Newport New.; Shiphbiilding comn- pri. pIany, which has hatl no parallel in and it this country.

" iin s SThe Newport News company got the !able (contract fr building the Louisiana. -i0 an!' the worki of construicting the Con- l!i it necticut was intrustedl to the New to a XYork navy yard. The Louisiana was f o far ahead of the Connecticut that ito, f she was launched several weeks ago. A This would seem to indicate that pri- gowfi lrate shipbuilding enterprises can turn is in out battleships faster than can the thl government at its navy yards. most But it should be recalled that no than vessel had been built at the New York ruffle yard since the Maine was construct- n!wnl ed. whereas numbers have been con- narre structed at the hands of the Newport abov, News company. The one had already inser been equipped with every necessary is en' appliance, whereas on the other hand of a 1 these had to be supplied.

She displaces 16. 000 tons, is fitted with triple expan sion engines, and is designed to have a sustained sea speed of eighteen kncts an hour. Her engines are of the vertical triple expansion type and are supplied with steam from Babcock & Wilcox boilers. The indicated horsepower is 16,500, the coal capacity 2,200 tons. Her complement is 42 oftcers and 761 men. WILL LONG BE REMEMBERED. Louis Fleischmann, Called Home, Was Genuine Philanthropist. Louis Fleischmann of New York cast his bread upon the waters and it returned to him an hundred-fold. Mr. Fleischmann was a practical philan thropist. He was called a "pauperizer of the idle" ten years ago when he established his "bread line," but this did not turn him from his purpose. To him anyone who begged something to eat was sufficiently in want to deserve charity. If the suppliant was willing ---- ---------,, ,,, _ to wait in a long line of gaunt-eyed, shivering humanity, in the most in clement of weather, he was hungry endugh to deserve his, half-loaf and cup of steaming coffee. So the "bread line" continued and grew, and often has it been taken as an index of the number of beedy and unemployed in the great city of the East. The man who established the bread line is gone, but the line remains, an elo quent tribute to the memory of one of the gentlest and best-loved philan thropists in this land of more or less unequally distributed abundance. ·--'--- ....~ --: _ Soldier's Enduring Fame. "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori"-thus it has always been and taus it will be so long as international disagreements continue to be settled by resort to arm's. Not only do patri ots deem it sweet and becoming to die for their country, but the mem ory of those who fall in defense of flag and country is cherished more sacredly than that of those who achieve the greatest and most benef lcent triumphs in the arts of peace. No other fame is so enduring as that of the military hero. On no other are honors so gratefully bestowed. This is demonstrated in the history of the United States quite aa conclu sively as in that of any other country. --Washington Post. Rounded Out Name. Judge D. Cady Herrick, Democratic candidate for governor or New York, was baptized plain Cady Herrick, the name having been selected by his mother. But this did not please his father. The latter thoug1it that Cady might be softened into Katie-and his child was a big, bouncing boy. When the boy attained a few Years his fath. er told him to write his name D. Cady Herrick. He said: "The D will signify the only letter of the alphabet for which It stands. If people choose to think that it stands for a name in stead of a letter, they may; but as foj you, write your name D. Cady Herrick -D. to please me and Cady to please your mother.
