At the New York State Assembly Of
Mothers, a prominent New York doctor
told the 500 women present that healthy
American women were so rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be sweeping state
uent of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from derange-
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing-6lown
feeling. painful or irregular menstrual
ton, leucorrhea, displacement of the
uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or
s1eeplessness E? There is a tried and
true remedy for all these ailments.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has restored more American
women to health than all other RENE
dies in the world. It regulates,
strengthens and. cures diseases of the
female organism as nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been curing
plants.
Such testimony as the following
should be convincing.
Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning,
Ia, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Il can truly say that you have saved my life
and cannot express my gratitude to you in
words. For two years spent lots of money
in doctoring without any benefit for mem
strual Irregularities and had given up all
hopes of ever being well again, but | was
persuaded to try Lydia E. Pinkhan's Vege-
table Compound and three bottles have re-
stored me to perfect health. Had it not been
for you would have been in my grave
to-day"

Affects Shawnee County.
Robert Stone of Shawnee has introduced
a bill providing that the county treasurer
of Shawnee county shall pay over to the
state treasury all money coming into his
hands as stenographers' fees in the dis
trict court This amounts to about 800 a
year and was supposed to reimburse the
county for the salary paid to the court
stenogra pher.- Mr.. Stone will follow this
with another bill putting the stenographer
of the Shawnee county district court on
the same basis as other district court
stenographers. He will get his pay from
the state instead of from the county
funds.
Mr.. Stone also introduced a bill reduc-
ing the bond of the probate judge from
5000 to $1,000. The probate judge ham
dies very little public money, and the $50.-
COO bond required by the law of 1878 was
probably a mistake, the intention very
likely being to make the bond 5000.

Thomas s. White and Mrs. Lucy !.
White, was born at Old Mines, Wash
ington county, Missouri April Sth,
1865, and died at her home III Farming
ton, Missouri, August IT, 1905,
She had been greatly afflicted for
year or more before her death, but she
endured all with wonderful patience
aud Christian iortitudc, although much
OF the time she suffered great pain
Miss White was Young women Of very
sprightly mind, and IN conversation
always humorous. Many OF her witt
cisms will long be remembered by her
friends and family.
She sprang from Il distinguished an.
ccstry, in fact historical. She was well
educated and always deported herself
as cultured, refined and Christian
young woman.
She became member of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South, in early
life while attending school at Caledo-
mia, and from thereafter led consistent,
thoughtful, Christian life. Her religion
was her solace while sick, and her
"rod and staff during the last hours OF
her life. Although faithful Sunday
School worker and devoted member Of
the church, God in His providence has
seen fit to call her home
While she worked here as his servant,
there she will join with Others in praise
OF Him forevcrmorc. Miss White in all
Of the relations Of life was true and
faithful-to her mother, sisters and
brothers, and TO all, kind and full Of
service. We all miss her, but her alb.
sence is hut call to that higher life
which she now enjoys, and which we
all aspire to; therefore be it
Resolved, That il is the sense of this
Sunday School, that in the death of
Miss White the school has been de
privcd of an efficient, faithful Christian
teacher, that loved her class and school
and had the interest OF each nj heart;
and it is but a just tribute TO the mem
DRY of the departed, to say that in re-
GREETING her removal from our midst,
we mourn for one who was III every
way worthy of our respect and regard.
Resolved, That in her death her
family has suffered a sore bereavement,
one that only time and God can remove
and make beautiful: and her many
friends have lost bright and pleasant
companion long to be remembered. We
sincerely condole with her family ON the
dispensation with which it has pleased
Divine Providence to afiiict them, and
commend them for consolation to Him
who orders all things for the best.
Resolved, That these resolutions, in
memory of her many Christisn virtues,
shall be spread upon the minutes of this
school, and that COPY of them be, by
the hands of this committee, transmitted
