Miss M. CARTRIDGE gives some
helpful advice to young girls.
Her letter is but one of thou
sands which prove that nothing

"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM II cannt {
praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound too highly, for it
is the only medicine 1 ever tried which
cured me. l suffered much from my
first menstrual period, I felt SO weak
and dizzy at times l could not pursue
my studies with the usual interest.
My thoughts became sluggish, l had
headaches, backaches and sinking
spells, also pains in the back and lower
limbs. In fact, I was sick all over.
FINALLY, after many other remedies
had been tried, we were advised to get
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and 1 am pleased to say
that after taking it only two weeks, a
wonderful change for the better took
place, and in a short time l was w.
perfect health 1 felt buoyant, full Of
life, and found all work a pastime. J
I'm indeed glad to tell my experience
with Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, for it made a diff

WHO IS THE SOLDIERS FRIENDi

No feature Of the campaign is like
ly to attract more attention fro the
next few weeks than the proposition
of Judge Parker to revoke the recent
pension order of President Roosevelt,
if ne is elected. 1t will attract more
attention because the people of this
country are intereted in the Union
veterans of the civil war. There are
not so many of them left now, but
those who remain and those who have
gone have plenty of friends.
1t is more than a sentiment, this
regard for the veterans; it is almost
a religion The young man who will
vote for the first time this year, on
whichever ticket, although he may
have not had a relative in the union
army, knows what that army did for
his country and is profoundly CRATE
full. If he had any relative in the SER
vice he is materially as we'll as senti-
mentally interested in the broken
fragment of the noble organization.
These men and all men see the old
veterans around them every day;
they see them growing feebler every
year, some of them poorer every
year, yet always brave and cheerful
and never for a moment regretting
the part they played in the tremend.
GUS struggle. Such a spectacle is
bound to inspire sentiments of affec.
ton and gratitude for these old sol.
diers in the hearts of all who reside
in their community.
Judge Parker declares In his letter
of acceptance that il he Is elected he
will revoke Roosevelt's order, which
made it easy for the aged veterans.
He adds that ne will ask congress to
pass a law to carry out what the
president, acting within the law and
safeguarded by precedent, already
has effected, In the same letter he
asks that Democratic house Of rep.
resentatiyes be elected.
The union veterans Of this country
win be very foolish to give their rs.
sent to such a program, and the thou-
sands and hundreds OF thousands OF
voters who love and respect these old
soldiers will be wickedIy foolish II
they by their ballots assent to 1t.
The whole country knows what =
Democratic congress would do for
the old soldier; the record OF past
democratic congresses Is too plain

sion bills and does not overlook dhe
fact that wherever Democrat has
been in power, either in executive or
legislative branch Of the government,
he has not been generous with the

WHY, INDEED?

why should vote for Demo
cratic candidate for congress?"
This is the question the voter
should ask himself when he goes TO
the polls next November and scans
the ballot with two congressional
tickets set forth thereon. If he Is
a logical, consistent, reasoning man
he will find it rather difficult to con.
jure UP a reason for voting for the
Democratic candidate.
If he is one of the majority class OF
voters who since 1893 have every two
years Joined in electing Republican
House of Represe ntatives, he certain
ly will not be able to find reason
for changing his vote in this cleo
ton. Naturally, it is not to be ex-
pected that any Republican can find
reason for supporting Democratic
candidate for congress and a nom.

to enjoy an annual banquet at the ex-

they were, when, instead Of going
straight to cafe they were led TO

FIFTY YEARS OF RAILRoApINe

In the Pit and Post Louis Lamb
gives some interesting data regarding
fifty years of railroading in the United
States and in Great Britain. Going
back of this period to the days imme-
diately following Stephensons Rock
ct" it is stated that for once the pros
pectus writer's committed the singular
blunder of claiming too little for their
projects. For the first half year I'M
der steam operation Of the Liverpool
and Manchester Railway it was esti-
mated that the revenue accruing
might reach E31,250. AS a matter of
fact, the first half year brought rev
enue in excess of 9134,000.
Coming down to fifty years ago, it
is found that there were ninety-five
railway companies and 5000 miles of
railroad in the United Kingdom, which
had cost an average o. $4,000 per
mile Of road. The average dividend
return at that time was STA per cent
and the average rate paid on guaran-
teed capital and funded loans was
ABB per cent, while the average rate
on capital invested was 3.67 per cent.
At that time also there was total
of $110, 100000 of capital invested in
English railroads which brought no
return. During the year 1854 the
British railways carried 11,206,707
passengers total of 1,622,048,490
miles, for which they received about
SAT, 200, 900, while the freight earn
ings amounted to about $50,000,000.
The United States in 1854 mad 16,-
100 miles of road which had cost
about $4,000 mile, about one-third
the cost per mile of the English roads.
The difference in cost is accounted
for by the fact that English railway
builders of fifty years ago ignored the
fact that the science of railway con-
struction might advance and believed
they were building for all time to
come. This mistake has cost British
railway enterprises very large sums
of money.
An astonishing change since 1854
is seen in the weight Of trains. Fifty
years ago the average dead weight Of
passenger trains was 67 tons and of
freight trains 141 tons. Recently sim
gle engines on the New York Central
road hauled 1000 tons gross weight
from New York to Buffalo, while the
average weight Of freight trains is
now between 1880 and $500 tons.
Furthermore, it is not unusual to find
passenger trains which move at tre-
mendously fast rates of speed and
which weigh fully 500 tons. In 1854
the average speed of trains was 1913
miles per hour, while lightning rex-
press" trains ran 80 miles an hour.
Now go miles an hour in England and
France, and a little less than this in
the United States, is a speed that is
maintained for considerable distances
by numerous trains.
