Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsT.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, dir
ziness and sleeplessness.
SECoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inflam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and disp1acements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many OF which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb.
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinlzham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to WOmen.--Wom suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened. read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia K. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been adj
yising sick women free of charge. Out of
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she doesnot take
advantage of this generous offer of
assistance.

be made less stiff and more rounded,
the bodies less squared, the distant trees
given a freer outline, and so on
within the knowledge of the child.
The teacher should call attention to
the action of the figures snd point
out the angles made by the legs IN
walking. The man and boy are tired
and their legs drag after them. Try
to illustrate this by the stick figures,
calling upon the observation of the
child and comparing this action with
other walking figures it has drawn.

What has previously been said of
permitting the child more freedom
with the symbol forms may now De
recalled and put into general prae-
tice. Every child, as said before, can
not avail itself of the liberty to devil
ate from the geometrical forms, and
the less talented will work by the
forms, while the most talented will
have understood that they were a
means to an end and begun to
work freer from restrictions. With
the cultivation Of talent, observation
of form will naturally begin, and this
will show that while the symbol OF an
apple tree as given may stand for the
apple tree, by certain indentations of
the mass of the tree and certain curry
ing, widening and branching of the
trunk representation much nearer an
apple tree may be given.

The childs instinct In this direc-
ton needs constant supervision, and
the teacher should constantly turn this
instinct to,obseryation, instead Of mis-
taken practice. Have the child take
notice of the larger details Of charac-
ter in forms, without forgetting the
big general form. If it has always
been made to reduce complicated forms
to the most simple ones, as has been
the practice, instead of seeking to elab-
crate the simplest forms given, it
may have cultivated simplification to
the point where it can be permitted
to render an object by character
marked mass, instead Of hard geo
metrical symbol. The individual child
must have individual guidance in this
case.

THE CIVIC FEDERATION
Rev. Dr.. Bishop in The Friend.

We are glad to receive in good time
the needed and reliable counsel of the
Civic Federation in selecting fit eandi-
dates for whom to vote in the APP
preaching biennial election This body
of excellent gentlemen have intelli-
gently selected from the different polit-
zeal tickets in the field the most worthy
names, assigning their reasons for such
choices. They have also pointed out
the most Objectionable names on such
tickets, giving the special reasons for
rejecting them. For this great service
done by the Civic Federation, the writ
er feels strong personal indebtedness.
They efficiently supplement his own
very imperfect knowledge and judg-
ment. He can now vote with reliable
knowledge and with assurance for the
men whose choice will best make for
pure morals and efficient administra-
tion, such as have been much lacking of
late years He does not expect to be
ruled by their judgments, where his
own does not coincide, but viii vote in
dependently.
In thus fulfilling their duty, the com
mlttee or the Federation receive, as
they doubtless expected, much bitter
reviing from the corrupt candidates
and their partisans. They also incur
some reproach even from partisan nom
inees whom the endorse, but who
seem to feel that they are under cove
nant obligation to support all the men
on their ticket, however, unworthy.
The writer does not here undertake to
pronounce upon the degree of obliga
ton resting upon the nominee of
party convention to support all the
other nominees. Our private opinion is
that il thus placed under obligation TO
support evil men, honor requires him
to decline that nomination. But in any
case the rest OF the voters are under no
obligation whatever. We have &C.
nounced as Il shameless indecency the
attempt to assert any such obligation
as resting upon US.
1t Is asserted that every citizen is
bound to abide by the decisions of the
convention of his party, for the reason
that III the District Primaries he had
his opportunity TO influence that action.
That reason is grossly untrue. and the
Party Managers fully understand il.
Party machinery has long been reduced
to an unfailing system, and the private
citizens part is reduced to a nullitv.
The party managers arrange and con
troll the primaries to suit themselves.
That is what the party machine is for.
They have the slate of delegates all
made out. Their men are all early on

hand to rush things through, and the
private citizen has no chance whatever
to form or execute an opinion. And
then these politicians have the impu-
dence to tell us that we are bound to
stand by their dirty machine, and swal-
low whatever it grinds out! Their
ticket perish with them!
The Civic Federation enables US to
unite in Independent action which can
be efficient SO down with the knaves!
And meantime our respect is not in
creased for some very good men, by
their attitude in standing by their party
machine, and reproaching our excellent
Civic Federation.
