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
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 q good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be great decrease in miscarriages, In
suffering. and In disappointment at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink
ham demonstrate the power of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in
such cases

The idea in this case also is to attract
attention. think it is wrong A cut should
be used merely to illustrate the advertise
ment, and not as the advertisement itself.
Illustration should be subordinate. In ordi-
aary, daily newspaper advertising the cut
should be small. l ike outline cuts about
an inch to an inch and a half wide with
reading matter set down one side.
Generally speaking, would not have
more than three display lines in the ad,
and more often only two-the head line
srd the name of the advertiser. And the
name should be smaller than the head
line.

MIR. Grip. the minister from Norway

new function 10 perform in connection

1t has been decreed by the Swedish
government that because the marriage

representative before the compact is

This means that the legation in Wash

Member of Two Congresses.
Proof of the esteem In which he was

Mann. was tie fact that he was six
times elected to the city council. He
was first elected in 1900 q member of
the Fifty-seventh Congress. and re-
elected to the Fifty-eighth Congress in
1902.
He was a quiet man, and nild-man-
nered. Among his new associates in
Congress he was diffident and some
what bashful, and these traits have
made him less well known among the
membership than would otherwise have
been the case. He never enjoyed good

His Successor, Oscar J. Ricketts,, Foreman OF
printing-WIIIiam Miller, Assistant foreman
of Bndery, Also Scheduled for Promotion

Il is rumored that the most revt;tu-

in the Government Printing Office after
Mr. Ricketts, becomes Public Printer is
the promotion Of William A. Miller. now
assistant foreman Of the bindery to
be chief clerk, in place of Henry 7
Brian. who. it is said, will be made
foreman of printing in place of Mr.
Ricketts,.
Miller made many friends during the
summer of 1903 when the local book
binders union attempted to have him
dismissed because he was non union
man. High officials in the Administra-
ton. Senators and Congressman Were
struck with Miller's ability and backed
him up in his fight, which he won.
Since then his friends have been on the
lookout for Il chance to help him, and

of the possible that he will become
