An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
It is a terrible ordeal to delicate,
sensitive, refined woman to be obliged
to answer certain questions when those
questions are asked even by her family
physician. This is especially the case
with unmarried women.
Is it any wonder, then. that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her corresponds with them,
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form Of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
MANY such grateful letters as the fol
lowing are constantly pouring IN. Z

Webster City, April 23-An unarmeu
man lost in a forest was never mose
relentlessly pursued by pack OF nun
CRY wolves than is Webster City pc
ing sought after by the medical profes-
sion of the country just now. And all
because of an innocent looking little
want advertisement which has appear
ed in the papers of the state and some
of the larger cities outside. This little
ad. asks for the names of physicians
wishing to locate in this city either on
their own hook or upon salary. the
advertisement is the only ammunition
being used by e. H. Martin, president
of the Martin Telephone Company.
Martin raised the price of doctors
telephones to the same rate as paid by
grocers. meat men and other business
men, The doctors. with two exceptions,
refused to pay and out come their
phones instanter. Webster Citys
strenuous trust buster--he accuses the
doctors of having an association which
makes their prices = is no trifier.
Without a. days delay the little want
advertisement which is to fill Webster
City as full of doctors as a mongrel
dog is of feas, was sent out and the
fight was on in earnest.
The ordinary practitioner is the very
soul of dignity. For several days the
local pill rollers paid no attention to
Martin. Then. one by one, they began
to sit up and take notice of what was
going on. After due and dignified de-
liberation they concluded that the only
way to fight the devil was with his
own fire and all bought stock in the
Independent Telephone company, a
small concern made up mostly of rural
lines A herculanean attempt will be
made to put life into this company
and lambast the Martin company
which practically has monopoly OF
the business in this city. The Inde-
pendent's rate is lower than Martins
and the doctors are urging their pa
TENTS to use the new phone. Meantime
the city is filling up with physicians OF
all kinds until soon it will be cheaper
to be sick than we'll. And if the re.
taliation of the local physicians as.
sumes much larger proportions thu
people of the city may soon expect II
receive bonus if they will but insta

On the governorship and state issues

I'VE endorse the administration OF
our honest and efficient governor, A. B.
Cummins, and especially commend him
for the stand he has taken on behalf Of
the people and against corporate greed.
We recognize with great satisfaction
responsibility of true self-government,
and are throwing off the tyranny OF
corporation and boss rule We realize
that the time has come when, If the
rights and freedom of the individual
are to be maintained, laws. drastic and
far-reaching, must be enacted for the
control of the vast concentration of the
peoples wealth. and for the regulation
Of the gigantic trusts and monopoles.
I'VE approve the work and record
Of Hon. G. w. Kline, our senator in the
general assembly; also, our representa-
tive, Hon. B. r. Robinson, and his able
support of the primary law. We con-
graduate him upon the prominence and
prestige he has gained in the three ses-
sions in which he has so actively par
ticipated.
I'VE believe that all nominations for
county and state offices and for United
States representatives and senators
should be made by direct vote of the
people, and we recommend that our
next state legislature enact a law to
that effect and request candidates for
nomination for the office of state rep
resentative from this county to pledge
themselves that IL elected they would
support such a law.

to the state convention to use all hon
