Many women long for q 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
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
mentS, alteration and inflammation
A woman who is in, good physical
condition transmits TO her children the
blessings of good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
If expectant mothers would fortifv
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham' S
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be a great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in disappointments at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink
ham demonstrate the power of Lydia
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in
such cases.

Government Printing Extravaeance

Government Printing Extravaganza.
The pertinence of President Roose-
velts comment in his annual message
ing and binding of government publ
cations" cannot be mistaken He is
absolutely correct in his judgment
that the amount of governmental
printing done could be decreased at
least one-half without the slightest
Inconvenience or disadvantage. The
extravaganza of the government print
ing office has long been regarded by
practical printers and journalists as
most objectionable, and it has been
due to system which has grown up
and been fastered by Congressman
themselves. Having control over the
appropriations. members of Congress
have used their power to overawe the
public printer and compel him to yield
to constantly increasing demands for
patronage and plumber. When a
strong and resolute chief executive
shall have placed this department in
the hands of an experienced, indie
pendent and resolute man, the Presi-
dents estimate of reduction of one
half in the expense of the office will
be amply justified. But to accom-
plish this reform the head of the de-
partment must be made independent
of Congressional control and given
a free hand for the faithful perform
ance of his duty. The responsibility
will then rest upon him and no one
else-Leslie's Weekly.
