SUFFERING in SILENCE,

Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to womankind in the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-weeks,
months, years. The story of weakness
and torture is written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, in the list
less eyes, in the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Unborn modesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope of
relief lies in the exposure of examina-
tion and "local treatment.
Take ten cases of "female weakness"
and in nine of them "local treatment"
is unnecessary, There is no reason why
modest, sensitive women should sub

asked Mr.. Bryan this question:: Us it
true that as soon as we get free silver

A Notable Difference.

The thoughtful workingman can in
deed find quite a field for comparison
between Chairman Hanna and Chair
man Jones. Mr.. Hanna, says the Iowa
State Register. is today one of the
largest employers of labor and the men
who work for him are paid promptly
and fair wages. But because he has
been enabled to give employment to
thousands he is regarded by some as
an enemy of labor We are glad that
there are such men as Hanna, mer
who undertake large enterprises. Ii il;
were not for such men. thousands Of
others would be without employment.
But look at the record of that Mr..
Jones. who is managing Mr. Bryan's
campaign in the nation. He is from
Arkansas. He has been a politician
all his life. He has developed no in
dustries. He has given no employ
ment. He did at one time own a lot
of "niggers" whom he worked" and
did not pay, except with the lash.
figuratively speaking. And yet the
man who has paid wages to thousands
is called an enemy" of labor while
the man who has given employment to
none, except slaves, is called the
friend" of labor
We refer to these tactics not because
they will avail Mr.. Bryan anything,
but to show to what low prejudices his
managers and papers are seeking to
appeal.
