Questions
for
omen

If you were offered sure aid in time
of trouble would you put it aside
and accept something of doubtful
efficiency?
If you saw before you a strong and
safe bridge leading TO your goal, would
you ignore it to try some insecure and
lettering structure?
The answer to these questions is
plain. You would, of course, choose
without hesitation what all evidence
showed to be the safe thing, and you
would risk nothing in useless expert
ments.
Why, then, do some women risk one
of their most precious possessions
their health-in trying medicines of
unknown value, which may even prove
hurtful to them?
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has stood the test of years. 1t
has the largest sale of any remedy for
female ills in the world, and nothing
could have given it this sale except its
own merit.
Do not try any experiments, but buy
what is known to be reliable. Mrs.
Pinkham's Compound can do all that
is claimed for it, and all statements in
regard to it can be easily verified.
Write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass,
for little book she has just published
containing letters from the mayor of
Lynn, the postmaster and others.
Mrs. Pinkham's advice is offered free
of charge to all women who write to
her for aid This invitation is con-
stantly renewed. A million women
have been cured of serious female ills by
Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine.

Miss Mae jenkins closed the fall
term of school in Brayton last Friday
and now the wild hurrah and whoop
of children free may be heard in town
and wood and hill The vacation
will give them just the Incentive
necessary TO send them back to school
with new vigor, life and ambition
when it does open.
Friday night those who love to
chase the gay and festive phantom
of pleasure to the time of music NAV
have the pleasure at the pleasant
home of George Breckenridge, east of

who go and George is one who knows
how to approach and give good

that the child died of brain fever.
His little boy was also very sick with
the same disease and his wife is also
just recovering. The little boy is on

The schools of Oaktield closed last

the literary work done. Too many
of our schools neglect this all impor-
tant factor in the child's develop

properly appreciate or encourage
their children along these lines. De-
bates and orations are the foundations
upon which the future prominence of

calm and self contained, is an accom-

TONNE FINALLY WITHDRAWS
Continued from First Page.l

l was a candidate, nominated Bryan and Stevenson. The silver republican party, of which organization l was the official head for nearly four years, has nominated Bryan and Stevenson. Tn what light should I appear before the American people, If, while advocating the election of one ticket, I should be going through the form of running on another? Nobody in the country would think I had the slightest chance of be- ing elected and nobody would believe that I considered myself seriously as a candidate unless at the same time he believed me to be absolutely lack ing in common sense. Whom could such a phantom candidacy deceive? What respect should I deserve indeed if in such a matter I should endeavor to deceive anybody whatsoever? l know the peoples party to be com posed of men most exceptionally keen and expert in political judgment. So obvious a sham could not elude them. Either they would resent my implied uncomplmentary estimate of them or they would be justified in forming one of me which could result only in in- turing the cause which 1t had been the professed object of my mistaken folly to advance.
 Consistency and candor in politics, therefore my own self-respect, a proper deference to the peoples party and sincere regard for the welfare of the cause of political reform in the United States, all counsel that I now respect fully replace in your hands the honora- tol, ytx mitted to me in contemplation of different complexion of affairs than that which has resulted.
 Tn conclusion I may be permitted to express the profound satisfaction which I feel in contemplating the present at titude of the democratic party. In 1896 I was one of those, who keenly feeling the recreancy of the republican party was much in doubt whether the memor- able democratic convention at Chicago. in adopting its splendid platform and nominating William J. Bryan for the presidency was actuated by an impulse or by a purpose. The magnificent achievements at Kansas City have set tied all possible doubt on that sub- ject. The platform adopted not only re- enacts the principles of 1896 but in lan- guage whose force, dignity and beauty have never been equalled in a similar document responds to the new Issues presented in the growth of the trust monopoly and the imperialistc policy of the administration, by an appropri- ate enunciation of those sublime doc- trines of human rights and liberties whose profession and observance have been the peculiar glory of our country and are the sure basis of the ultimate happiness of mankind. And again the duty of carrying the banner of the cause has been committed to that tried and trusted hand whose grasp has never weakened which no fear can make to falter and no burden dismay The leadership of Bryan which could have redeemed a bad platform, sanc- tifies a good one. It made memorable an unsuccessful contest. It will crown victory with impershable splendor.
 With every sentiment of respect and gratitude I remain, most sincerely yours,
 "ChareS A. TOWne"
