An Invitation
To Women

All the world knows of the wonder
ful cures which have been made by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, yet some women do net realize
that all that is claimed for it is abso-
lutely true.
If all suffering women could be made
to believe that Mrs. Pinkham can do
all she says she can, their suffering
would be at an end, for they would
at once profit by her advice and be
cured.
There is no more puzzling thing than
that women will suffer great pain
month after month when every woman
knows of some woman whom Mrs.
Pinkham has helped, as the letters
from grateful women are constantly
being published at their own request.
The same arrangements which make
painful or irregular periods with
dull backaches and headaches, and
dragging-down sensations, presently
develop into those serious inflamma-
tions of the feminine organs which
completely wreck health.
Mrs. Pinkham invites women to
write freely and confidentially to her
about their health and get the benefit
of her great experience with the suf-
ferings of women. No living person
can advise you so well. No remedy in
the world has the magnificent record
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound for absolute cures of female
ills. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn,

A GREAT COUNTRY.
The state of North Dakota sen

The state of North Dakota sends
out greeting to the whole world
that she has within her borders
millions of acres of public lands
subject to entry under the home
stead law, and private lands that
can be purchased from $8 to $40
an acre, the fertility of which can
not be excelled anywhere else in
the world. The soil is not only
rich and productive, but the
climate is the finest in the tenn
perate zone. There are thousands
of people in the middle and east
ern states, who will never own a
home or foot of land if they re-
main there, and their descendants
will remain in the same condition.
BY coming to the Northwest they
can easily become possessed Of
large farms and comfortable
homes, securing for themselves
and families wealth and indepen-
dence. Here in the Devils Lake
land district there are thousands
of acres of unoccupied land await
ing the coming of immigrants-no
matter where they are from. We
cannot understand why it is that
the people of the eastern states do
not wake up to the important fact
that in less than a generation these
lands will be all taken up. Why
don't they push out here and get
their share of the great public do

to the new generation and the boys
and girls crowd into the villages
and cities to seek employment
abandoning forever their old
homes. The old folks die off and
the farms are left desolate. There
are thousands of these deserted
farms in Maine, New Hampshire
and other eastern states. The
great Northwest and especially
North Dakota, offers the mos
wonderful opportunities and ad
vantages to the young and enter
prising from the east. Let then
come by hundreds and by thou

What Puerto Rico needs most
just now is capital to develop her
resources and give her people en-
ployment. 1t is to be hoped that
with stable government there will
be an improvement in the condi-
ton of the island. Senator Fora
ker's bill proposes to extend over
the island the constitution and
laws Of the United States. This
will make the people American
citizens, give them free trade with
us and establish our tariff and
revenue system in the island. This
certainly appears to be the best
way to establish complete civil
government in our island depen.
denotes in the West Indies. This
can be made certain only by the
adjudication of particular cases by
the courts. AS to details Puerto
Rico is to be treated much like a
territory, only the island govern
ment is to have the disposal OF
the revenues. It is to have del
egate in congress and a local legis.
lature with powers that combine
those of a territorial Legislature
i, with those of a British colonial
legislature. The executive and
council are to be federal. These
details may be changed, but the
main features of the bill will prob
ably stand. There will no doubt
be a great deal of talk on the free
trade proposition.

Query.

ton correspondent as saying that his faith
er used to be a professor in the Tn vor-
81 of Vermont and that on the mothers
s.dc he was descended from "a Knowl-
TOW. the first chief justice Of vermont.
who was appointed to the position by
nc George?
The lists of professors in the University
of Vermont. do not appear to contain the
name of any Professor Waters in either
thu Academic or Medical departments.
The Kuowlton referred to, we suppose TO
hsve been Luke Knowlton of Newfane,
VINO was a prominent loyalist in his day.
He took the palt of New York in the early
controversy and in the hearings
before Congress in 1850 he repre-
seuted the New YORK Colony, ard
advocated its claims Of jurisdiction over
tho New Hampshire Grants. II he held
any office under King George Ill, as quite
likely he did it could hardly have been
that of chief justice of Vermont, for King
George recognized no colony of Vermont.

Moses Robinson. Probably CongI eastman

Death of Hon. r.. j. Phelps,

In the departure from earth of Mr..

Supreme Court judge and United Staies
senator, he early showed ability which en-
ahled him to enter college at fourteen,
gave him his college degree with honor
al eighteen and his admission to the Bar
a. twenty-one. He was not yet thirty
when he was appointed comptroller of tho
United States treasury, Returning 10

prominent men gained at the national cap.

George p Marsh, Jacob Collamer, Hiland
Han, Levi Underwood, Luke p. Poland,
John Pierpoint Isaac +. Redheld, George

Peck, and others of scarcely less ability
and reputation, and along with men of
both in our State courts and in the Unit
ID States Supreme Court, was probably
second in extent and importance to that

At time when our prohibitory law is
fercely attacked. and when many a sin
core lover OF temperance is inclined TO
question the wisdom of the law, il may
not be amiss to quote a few words from
a recent address delivers by Prof. J. VI.
Barker OF the SOCIOLOGICAL department of
the Boston University, at the second an
nual meeting OF the Anti-Saloon League
a Montpelier, DR. Barker said, among
other things:
Vermont is the banner state in TEN
rcrancc work. She has the best temper
ance laws in tho United States. and it is
her dNty and high privilcg" to enforce
these laws as far as possible and teach the
United States what can b. done In tenn
perance legislation. Ohio is 10 years be-
hind Vermont improving rs fast as she
IS, and we are all looking to Vermont as
to an ideal"
These words were no more than true
and every Vermont voter ought to take
pride In the fact thus stated. II is no dis
grace for our state to be 30 years ahead of
the times. 1t would be 4 disgrace for us
to abandon our IDEAL and take the moral
position of tho average state OF he Uni
tod states. We cannot do the business of
some States, but the United States is
looking 20 New England, and to Vermont
as the GU - essence of New England SIM
