FOR THE SAKE OF HARMONY,
Prohibition National Chairman Stew.
~ ri RaSinnS

s = -
b Chicago, Dec. 17.-After an all
day session of the Prohibition nation
al executive committee, where heated
debate varied from personal inVectiye
and villification of motive to a demand
for prayer for guidance, National
Chairman Oliver w. Stewart of Chi
cago was at midnight deemed necesT
sary sacrifice to party harmony and
his resignation was practically de-
manded by a vote of "a to 20 of the
members of the national committee.
With Treasurer Samuel S. Dickie OF
Michigan, Judge A. A. Stevens OF
Pennsylvania and A. G.. Wolfenbarger
as the leaders of his opponents Stew
art fought all day for personal vindi-
cation, but his followers were in the
minority and the following resolution
was adopted at the end of the day:
"The national executive committee
records it's opinion that in the con-
duct Of the national campaign O. w.
Stewart has not been guilty of mis-.
appropriating to his own use, either
as an Individual, or as candidate,
any funds of the national committee
or of any other dishonest act. But
in view of certain controversies and
for the sake of harmony we deem it
unwise for Mr.. Stewart to continue in
his present relations to said national
committee.
Robert H. Patton of Springfield, ILL.,,
was elected chairman to succeed Oil
yer w. Stewart.

LETTER VISITS GOVERNOR.
Discusses the Strike Situation at
Zeigler, Ill.

Springfield, Ill, Dec. 17.-Joseph
Letter, owner of the coal mine at
ZeigIer, Sheriff Stein of Franklin
county and Attorney Platt of Chicago,
counsel for Mr.. Letter, arrived in
Springfield during the day and had a
long talk with Governor Yates over
the situation at Zeigler. Mr.. Letter
gave his version OF the troubles be-
tween the union miners and himself.
Mr.. Letter said:
Major Elliott has not been asked
to furnish troops to guard new miners
since he has been in command, for no
new miners have been brought to
Zeigler since that time. It is not true
that we are violating the state law
against importing strike breakers into
the state under a false pretense. The
written contract which they sign
states that there is a strike on. :

WOMAN, YOU CAN BE CURED.

An Eminent Physician Gives to the
 world Marvellous Prescription.
 One or the leading physicians In America, who has made a life study oe the treatment of diseases peculiar lo women. and who met with unvaryine success in large and varied private and sanitorium practice, has given to the suffering women of our country the benefit of his life's work. This emi- nent specialists prescription is now sold by all the leading druggists eyerv- where under the name of Feminaia. and may be had at the nominal price of $1.00 a bottle.
 Feminala is actually boon to af. hicted women. In the great majority of instances 1t does more than benefit- it absolutely cures.
 Feminala is a specific. That means that 1t cures upon principle peculiar to itself; that 1t cures in a manner not common to another medicine.
 In this sense, Feminala cures by re- moving or eradicating the cause, not by treatment of the disease itself.
 For instance-take the simple and easily understood case of leucorrhoea, known among women as female weak ness. Leucorrhoea is disorder growing out of inflammation of the uterus or the womb so what is the use of treating leucorrhoea unless the cause is removed, which is infiamma- tion of the womb?
 Thus-with Feminala, 1t cures by go- ing down deep and removing the cause, then imparting strength and normal character to the parts that the cure may be sure and permanent.
 Not to WOmen.-A sample bottle of Feminala and book concerning dis eases peculiar to women will be mailed, In plain sealed package free upon re- quest, if addressed to The American Drug Company, Montgomery, Ala. Write for 1t today. adv-(D
