NEW YORK, Oct 23. The rules and

general satisfaction. This is certainly
the case if views expressed yesterday
after a superficial reading by various

Confectionery interests are perhaps

NEW York, Oct. 23. No news was
received yesterday of the British steam
ship Arablstan, which is now several
days overdue from San Juan, P. It.
Norton and Company, the agents here,
say they believe that tie ship is all
right and will soon appear. The Arab

en days.
After the Arabistan sailed from St.
Lucia, a hurricane tore across the Car

is caught by it.

Secretary Shaw Makes Soma Important
Suggestions aa to Securities.
XRW YORK, dt. , 3. Secretory
Shaw's plun to increase available eireu,
lutiou by $100,000,000 through the de
poit with the government of approved
securities of that value, in place of Gov,
eminent bonds, is of interest to flnan
ciers, asivle from the relief it is expeot
ed to bring the money market in tiie
fact and it wilt h a demonstration of
the benefit of an elastic currency. An
officer of one of the leading national
bank voiced thj ' intereot lt night.
Tie said he thought the plan would
bring good result as an object lesson in
t'lastio currency. He' thought that the
working out of the plan would serve
to demonstrate to Congress the ad.
vantage that follows the adoption of an
elastic currency. Congress may also 1

the law which now limits the rejn!rc'
went of national bunk circulation to
$3,000,000. This official said that hi
own bank would certainly take out all
the circulation to which It may be en
titled under this plan, and he thought
that most other banks holding govern,
ment deposits would take their share
of the new circulation or would find
other banks to which to assign govern
ment bonds, in case they cannot for
any reason take the additional circu
lation themselves. It was pointed out
that almost any bank would bare in
its possession or could easUv obtain
capable bonds to offer as substitutes as
the government bonds which they hav
pledged as security for government de.
posits. Secretary Shaw plan for an
increase -in circulation provides for the
substitution to the extent of 118.000,000
of approved securities other than gov
ernment bonds now pledged as security
for deposits. It s provided that the
bonds so released shall immediately be
used to take out additional national
bank circulation.

After Years of Experience, Advises Women in
' Regard to Their Health.
Mrs. Martha Pohlmaa
of 65 Chester Avenue,
Newark,' N. J., who is a
graduate Nurse from the
Blockley Training School,
at Philadelphia, and for
six years Chief Clinio
Nurse at the Philadelphia
Hospital, writes the letter
printed below. Bhe has
the advantage of personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she has to say
may be absolutely relied
upon.
Many other women are
afflicted as she was. They
can regain health in the
same way. It is prudent
to heed such advice from
such a source.
Mrs. Pohlman writes:
"I am Dmly persuaded,
after eight years of experience
with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, that it
Is the safest and best medicine
for any suffering woman to
use."
" Immediately after my
marriage I found that my
health began to fail me. I be
came weak and pale, with
severe bearing-down pains,
fearful backaches and fre
quent dizzy spells. The doctors
prescribed for me, yet I did
not Improve. I would bloat

pains down through my limbs so I could
hardly walk. It was as bad a case of female
trouble as I have ever known. Lydia E.

cured me within four months. Since that
time I have had occasion to recommend it to
a number of patients suffering from all
forms of female difficulties, and I find that
while it is considered nnpoiesslonal to rec
ommend a patent medicine, I can honestly
recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, for I have found that it cures
female ilia, where all other medicine fails, It
is a grand medicine for sick women."
Money cannot buy such testimony as
this merit alone can produce such re
sults, and the ablest specialists now
agree that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound is the most univer
sally successful remedy for all female
diseases known to medicine.
When women are troubled with ir
regular, suppressed or painful periods,
weakness, displacement or ulceration
of the female organs, that bearing

as dizziness, faintness, labsitude, excita-1

"want-to-be-left-alone'' feelings, blues
and hopelessness, they should. remem
ber there is one tried and true remedy.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound at once removes such troubles.
No other female medicine in the
world has received such widespread
and unqualified endorsement.
The needless suffering of women from
diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible
to see. The money which they pay to
doctors who do not help them is an
enormous waste. The pain is cured
and the money is saved by Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It is well for women who are ill to
write Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass.
The present Mrs. Pinkham is the
daughter-in-law of Lydia B. Pinkham,
her assistant for many years before her
decease, and for twenty -five years
since her advice has been freely given
to sick women. In her great expert"
ence. which covers many years, she
has probably had to deal with dozens
of cases just like yours. Her advice
is strictly confidential.
