Revenue Fund.

The general revenue fund of the
state shows deficit of $4,000. Thi:
deficit seems bound to increase fol
months to come. The last Legislature
appropriated $645 0oO to be available
before July 81, but failed to make any
provision for creating the sum. The
monthly drafts on the genera! revenue
fund are abou, $500, 900, and all it car
stand. The indications are that be-
fore many months the state will have
to borrow considerable money.

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's IS
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of a good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for q
healthy maternity?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkhams S
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be q great decrease In miscarriages, in
suffering. and in disappointments at
birth.

such cases.
