A new field of employment for women is to be opened by the railways. This does not mean that the roads will employ women telegraphers, but on the contrary their employment will be for the purpose of taking the place of telegraphers already in the service. In the future women rail way operating employes will be engaged at smaller stations taking train oriers over the telephone, where formerly such orders were transmitted and received by telegraph. This new field will be open to women when the new nine-hour day law governing the working time of railway telegraphers goes into effect on March 1. It was contidently expected that this law would work a revolution in railway operation, and it was with this end in view that the Order of Railway Telegra phers procured its passage, despite the determined opposition of railway man agers and even against advice direct from the White House. The revolution is Fom ing, all right, but it will be a revolution which will relegate the telegraph to a hack seat as an adjunct to raUway op eration and will throw thousands of oper ators out ot employment.

CONFESSES TO DETECTIVE Neronl Deceived Into Telling of Murder by Wholesale. DENVER, Jan. 22. The Republican to day prints an alleged confession secured by an Italian detective from Antone Neronl, alias Bavori, charged with the murder of four Italians, three men and one woman at Florence.

THE GRIP WHAT EXIXENT PHYSIC1AKS SAY AS TO ITS TREATMENT. Da Prevent It What to After the Grip. Eminent physicians like the late Drs. Geo. F. Shrady and Cyrus Edson of New York, agree that in the grip the patient should be at once made warm and be given a good cathartic. The Best Cathartic in the grip is Hood's Pills, becauae not only are they "easy to take and easy to operate," hut instead of weakening like other cathartics they have a true tonic effect. To Prevent the Grip, avoid undue ex posure, keep your feet always dry, and take Hood's Sarsaparllla. This last advice Is very important, because if your blood is in good condition, and your appetite and digestion are ail right, you will escape the grip. It seizes upon those whose health-tone is low, whose blood is thin and poor. After 'the Grip, Hood's Sarsaparllla is the greatest tonic that can be taken. It overcomes that weak, debilitated condition, purines, vitalizes and en riches the blood, eliminates all that "grip poison," creates an appetite, aids digestion, and soon puts one "on his feet" again.
