About a year ago I began to have a worn out tired feeling with lassitude, pains in the back and head which kept increasing every month. - I felt that I needed something, but to get the right medicine was the trou ble.

Mrs. Jones was cured bv follow ing the advice which was freely given her by the Ladies' Advisory Depart ment. Miss Owens was cured without advice by just buying a $1.00 bottle of Wine of Cardui from her druggist and taking this great medicine in the pri vacy of her home. No doctor's ex amination, treatment or advice is nec essary. You have read what these two cured women have written. Is this not enough to lead you to determine to be rid or suffering?

GREAT BRITAIN'S SAVAGE FOES ARE GOOD SOLDIERS. tWliy English Protectorate W E V tabllshed Characteristics of the Somali Boer and Briton Now FJsht In Harmonr. The recent disaster to the British forces In Somalilund, which resulted In the death of Colonel Plunbett and over 200 of his command, together with the killing of 2,000 followers of the Mad Mollah by the British In revenge, once again attracts the attention of the world to that little known region of eastern Africa where for four years Great Britain has been fighting the fanatical Mohammedan hordes. Somaliland is probably as mysterious a country as any on the globe today. The' British have established a protec torate over a portion of it along the coast, and about 08.000 square miles are under their control. It is situated In the eastern horn of Africa, with its chief port, Borbera. within iv few hours sail of the British port of Aden, in Arabia. - The Somali people are of mixed Arab and negro blood and are desperate and fearless fighters. The average Somali Is supremely volatile. At one moment sr-rr mm. mm m t " WATER CART DRAWN BY A CAMEL. he may bo merry and his good nature seems to overflow. Of a sudden, with out apparent cause, he undergoes a complete transformation. It " is this quality which makes him so dangerous an antagonist. lie is easily aroused to frenzy, and, like other followers of Mohammed, thinks nothing of the loss of his own life if in losing it he can kill an enemy of his religion. Against these fanatics Great Britain opposes Hindoos. Sikhs, Egyptians and Africans. Comparatively few English men make up the forces of the IJritish commander. General Manning, but there are a number of Boers, whose services as scouts have proved of val ue. The English and Hoers, so lately enemies, now fight the brown men' in complete good fellowship ami harmony. While there has been desultory war fare for four years the present active campaign was incited by the Mad Mol lah's defeat last October of the British force under Lieutenant Colonel Swnin. As horses cannot stand the hardships of the desert a camel campaign was de termined upon. There have loen camel campaigns before conducted by Brit ish generals in India and Ejrypt, that of Lord Kitchener in the Sudan being one of the most effective in history. General Manning has had the assistance of men who were with Kitchener when he chased the Mahdi and has raised BOE AND BRITON PLAYING CHECKERS. and trained a fairly effective corps. So far, however, while he has killed many of the .Mad Mollah's followers he has made little real headway against the fanatics, and the massacre of Fiun kett and his command has added to the Mollah's prestige in the desert. , There have been many mad mollahs (fanatical priests), and the present one fs Hajl Muhammet Abdullah. Until 1896 lie was a mere student of the Koran. Then he made a pilgrimage to Mecca nd returned to Africa with a wild en thusiasm to revive Islam and drive out Christianity. ' Thus far he has defied capture and has had alternate victory and defeat In his battles with the English. While for a time he may flourish in, the desert it seems probable that sooner or later he must suffer the fate of the Mahdi and succumb to the power of Great WHtelu- GERM OF SMALLPOX. Kit Dr.- Councilman Discovered ' Cauae of Dread Diaeaae; ' .What is recognized by medical men as the most important medical discov ery ever made in Boston and one of the most important In the history of medicine was that announced at a re cent meeting of the Boston Society of Medical Science held in the Harvard Medical' school,' when Dr. William C. Councilman exhibited the germ of smallpox. Tor two years Dr. Councilman has been engaged with his assistants, Drs. George K. Magrath and Walter It. Brinckerhoff, in a search for the cause of smallpox. Two years ago an epi demic of the disease in Boston gave the doctor a splendid opportunity for Investigation by furnishing plenty of subjects to study. He obtained pieces of skin of various persons afflicted with the disease In its various stages. These specimens were then examined under the microscope. This was a la bor of months, for to detect the organ ism resiHtnsible for the disease they must find one that was present In every-case of smallpox. Once this was discovered, they next proved that tt 1 . ;'vm':A, m 'teJi. - A . m?k mm Wvi04 i 1 t ", Mvpg IR. WILLIAM C. COUNCILMAN. was the true germ of the disease by inoculating such animals as are known to be susceptible to smallpox. Dr. Councilman calls the cause of the disease of smallpox a protozoa. This differs from a bacillus in that the lat ter is a vegetable while the former be longs to the animal kingdom. Dr. Councilman Is about forty-live years old and Is already well known in his profession through his treatises on pathology. He is Shattuck professor of pathological anatomy in the Har vard Medical school in Boston. A VERSATILE EXECUTIVE. Ifow Governor Garvin of Rhode la land Proved Ilia Snrrcical Skill. When Governor Garvin of Rhode Is land saved the life of a boy at Ander sonville, Gil., recently by binding up a wound that was sapping his life, he performed the surgical operation with a skill born of over thirty years of practice, for before Governor Garvin was elected chief executive of his state he was a practicing physician and surgeon. The governor was at Andersonville for the purpose of dedi cating a monument erected by his state to the memory of Ilhode Island sol diers who died while confined In An dersonville prison. Just as he was concluding his address the horses at tached to a carriage containing the fam ily of E. W. Callaway ran away, and young Edwin Callaway was badly in jured, his leg being broken and the Jagged bone had severed an artery. The little fellow was fast bleeding to GOVERNOR L. F. C. GARVIN. death when Governor Garvin heard of the accident. He at once hurried to the sufferer, doffed his coat, tied the severed artery and set the leg." Dr. Lucius F. C. Garvin is the only Democrat who was chosen governor of a northern state in the elections last fall. He is known as a New Eng lander, but his native state Is Ten nessee. His parents were from New England, and young Garvin served In a Massachusetts regiment during the civil war. After the war he studied medicine and received a degree from the Har vard Medical school. Boston. Since then Dr. ..'.rvin has practiced medi cine in Ithode Island and has accumu lated a comfortable fortune. For the last twenty years Governor Garvin has been almost continuously a member of the legislature, either as senator or representative, and is one of the most popular men in the state. Not long ago W. J. Bryan said in the Commoner that Governor Garvin was a proper Democrat for ,the presi dential nomination. He Is sixty-two years old. v". aM i f I'pJ. Jv lis' f lUP SPORTING WORLD Travis la In Great Form. Walter J. Travis, the former ama teur golf champion, carried everything before him in the closing stages of the recent open tournament of the Country club of Atlantic City, N. J., and by scoring his third victory toward the Atlantic City cup the trophy came into his permanent possession. His suprem acy was unquestioned. His golf was of a remarkable order, and by making WALTER J. TRAVIS, EX-CHAMPION GOLFER. the bogle figures of the course look ri diculous he simply swept his oppo nents off their f-et. In the semitiual round he met and defeated young C. B. Fownes of Pitts burg. Travis opponent in the final round was E. A. Darby of Atlantic City. In this match he was at his betst. With barely a mistake he won hole after hole with painful regularity. Darby had no chance against him, and it is questionable whether there is a player in the country who could have held him In the form in which he was play ing. He finished the round and in do ing so equaled the record of the course. The Lines of Shamrock III. By report from London it appears that the international yacht races for the America's cup of this year are to differ very greatly from those held in recent years in the fact that the two racers are to be of entirely distinct types. In designing Shamrock III. Mr. Fife has in no way reverted to the old mod el.. Instead of the broad and shallow, hull.-with u hard bilge, able to spread, say. 14.0UO or l.j,tHH feet of canvas, such as we saw in Shamrock I. and in Mr. Watson's Shamrock II., he has turned out a narrow model with an easy bilge. The outline of the. midship section from the rail to the fin keel is a most graceful curve, round and full. The new Shamrock approaches to ward what we may call the needle model, as distinguished from the knife blade model of the Genesta and the skimming dish model of the Yankee designs. This idea of a needle model is made more apparent by a look at the over hang of the new boat, for, while It is rather short, it is as round and sharp as a needle's point. Mr. Fife has plainly determined to pierce the water instead of trying to go pounding over it, as the racers of re cent years have done. International Anto Raeei, L. P. Mooers of Cleveland, O., and Tercy Owen of New York have been selected to complete the team of three which is to represent America in the international automobile race for the James Gordon Itennett cup, which takes place in Ireland in July. Alex ander Wlnton of Cleveland, the third man, was selected some time ago. The last trial was over a seven mile course. At the conclusion it wus an nounced that no time had been taken for -Mooers, but that the following fig ures had been taken for Owen: Six miles, standing start, 11m. 22 2-5s.; two miles, running start, 2m. 1'3 2-os.; one mile, running start, lm. G2-5s. McGovern and Attell. Terry McGovern will begin fighting his way into another match - with Young Corbett on Memorial day. He will battle twenty rounds in the ring of the Fort Erie club with Abe Attell, a -clever youngster of the west. They will fight for o0 ier cent of the re ceipts. The articles signed provide for each to weigh 12U pounds at 3 o clocfc in the afternoon of May 30. SayM (he Kid Is Wnk, "I'd like to go Into the ring again with McCoy," says McCormiek. "1 11 bet him $500 that if it's a twenty round go I will win, and I'll bet him $500 more that he won't put me down once in twenty rounds. There was a time when I could not say that about the Kid, but the life he has led has weak ened him so that I am the better man of the two." Wolrereae Athletics. Captain John Robinson of the Uni versity of Michigan track team calls attention to the fact that the team has for three consecutive seasons won the championship of the west. "If our team can this year carry off the honors again," he says, "we will be entitled by virtue of these consecutive victories to retain permanently the Spalding tro phy cup."
