MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
Lydia e. Pinlkthas7scS
Vegetable C0nsp0uD6

The wonderful power Of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind Is not be-
cause it is a stimulant. not because it
is palliative. but simply because it Is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared TO be frank and
open, hundreds of them would acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia f. Piukham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, As
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow.
ing letter proves it.
DIR. S. c. Brigham, OF Brigham
Park. Fitchburg, Mass, writes:
ct gives me great pleasure to say that
Compound very efiicacious, and often pre-
scribe IL in my practice for female diificulties
My oldest daughter found it very benef-
cial fora femaletrouble some time ago, andmy
youngest daughter is now taking it for a fe-
male weakness, and Is surely gaining in health
and strength.
~ freely advocate it as a most reliable spe-
clic IN all diseases to which women are sub
Jet, and give it honest endorsement"
Women who are troubled with pain
tul or irregular periods, bloating Tor
fiatulency), weakness of organs, dis
placements, inflammation or ulceration,
can be restored to perfect health and
strength by taking Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. If advice is
needed write to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. She is daughter-in-law
of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty
five years has been advising sick
women free of charge. No other living
person has had the benefit of
wider experience in treating female
ills. She has guided thousands to
health. Every suffering woman should
ask for and follow her advice if she
wants to be strong and well.

ATHENA, ORE, SEPT. .....25, 1906
The East oregonian is really in

The East OIegonian is really in
earnest in espouzing the cauz Of sim
plified spelling reform. While the
change to the fonetic system IL so
radical that a storm of criticizm iz
being hurled at the Pendieton paper,
lis action IL strongly commended
by such influential newspapers az the
Boize Statesman and London Truth.
All joking aside, Bert Huffman and
his East Oregonian are both in the
right channel--the deep water chan
mel, where other journalistic craft
will finally steer with their cargo of
reformed spelling, though perhaps in
not such large quantity as at pres-
ent carried by the Pendleton paper.
There are words in the English Ian
guage, of common usage, that needed
"f1xlng" from the time of their syl-
Liable formation and introduction for
acknowledgements which are at
variance relatively with letter forma-
tion and pronunciation. Many of these
letter formations will quickly melt
away and become absorbed in the new
category of fonetic spelling, while
others will stand the usage of time as
they have stood in the past.

King Edward has been developing a
rich "pocket" in our stock exchange,
and consequently the king feels still
more kindly towrad the people of the
United States. An exchange remarks
IF congre.s had voted King Edward,
of England, $5,OOO,OO0 for his per.
sonal use, there would be a political
revolution here in consequence. But
the papers publicly announce that
King Edward made five millions in
stock on Wall street the other day.
Does it make any difference to the
American people whether the King
received $4,000, 900 by direct vote of
congress or gained it by manipulation
of industrial stocks-did be not re
ceive that much aud did not jackass
Americans lose that much?"

A Kansas editor with the real stuff
in him remarks: The editor of this
diuky paper wishes sometimes he were
rich. No, we only wish we were rich
for about week-just long enough to
teach some rich people we know how
to act toward less fortunate people
less fortunate in the matter of worldly
possessions, we mean. AS a matter of
tact inordinately rich people--the ma
jority of them--have no sense at all.
This is especially true of some man
who has "struck it rich" or woman
who married bunch of money. 1t
gives us infinite pain to witness the
nauseating airs of these toads with the
dollar mark sticking all over them.

WOMAN A CANDIDATE.
Spokesman Review.

The nomination of woman for
congress by socialists in Texas will,
of course, not be taken seriously ex-
cept by those who have made the
nomination, and possibly not by them.
They certainly can entertain no ex-
pectation of electing her, and prob
ably are only seeking to make DEM
onstration of their voting strength.
From this point of view the candidacy
will be interesting.
So remote is the probability that
any woman will occupy seat in con-
gress that speculation on the situation
which would present itself were such
a thing likely would be idle. There
are doubtless many women, especially
in the ranks of the woman suffragists,
who honestly consider themselves
much better qualified to make the
laws of the land than some of the men
now engaged in that occupation. And
perhaps they are.
The men are so fond of the job,
however, that they will not readily
yield to any demand on the part of
women to be permitted TO deprive
them of its honors and emoluments.
The time may come when women, by
their ballots. can exercise an influ-
ence on legislation, but their ambi-
tion may have to be satisfied with
that attainment. Who can tell what
change in punliO sentiment the fight
of years may produce? 1t has even
been predicted that woman will
some time occupy the executive chair
in the White House.

ed corporation, the old fashion motive
of commercial honor can have no
place. The management must pay only
what the law strictly requires. If
it pays merely because public opinion
says it should, or in accordance with
the dictates of an uncodified sepse of
cqui y, or in order to deal generously
with misfortune, or for any reason
whatsoever save that the exactly inter
preted letter of the contract requires
it, the stockholders may have valid
claim against it. Honor is purely a
personal quality. The first object of
the corporation is to be impersonal.

AS condensed nugget of irreconcil-
able Inconsistencies the United States
government comes pathetically near
wearing the blue ribbon; not that its
ipcongruous Inconsistencies are to be
here enumerated--for neither time,
space, paper or ink suffice. But just
to mention one of the many: Our
government requires every vessel sail
ing under the American flag to be
manned by licensed officers, aud yet
it's own vessels are not commanded by
licensed seamen. In many instances
subordinate officers are licensed and
know much more about seamanship
than "the man on the bridge" II
licensed seamen are best for the mer-
chant marine. why not for the navy,
the revenue service and the geodetio
survey?

THE GHOST OF HONOR.
Saturday Evening Post.

Naturally, San Francisco is bitter
against insurance companies that
are repudiating claims. She calls
them "Welchers. The term does not
APPLY, however, with scientific exact.
ness. One such company has issued an
interesting statement. 1t quotes the
clause in its policies that it "shall not
be liable for loss caused directly or in.
directly 10y earthquakes" aud it points
out gravely that, if the directors
should pay any losses for which the
company is not legally liable, the
stockholders could sue them tor NAL
feasauce in office aud recover the
amount thus illegally disbursed
There was very little loss in San Fran
cisco which was not caused indirectly
by the earthquake. If anybody can
discover such loss and prove that it
would have occurred had there been
no earthquake the company will cheer
fully pay. Otherwise the directors,
under keen sense of responsibility to
the stockholders, must stand firmly
upon the letter of the contract. They
will never be guilty of malfeasance.
This brings out very neatly the
point that, in properly administer
