Success Of LYDIA E. Pinkhan's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that II
Really Does Make Sick Women Well.

Thousands upon thousands OF Ameri-
can women have been restored 70
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkhams Office, and prove this
statement to be fact and not mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed Is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegee-
table Compound accomplished such
widespread results for good? 3,
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for quarter OF
a century?
Simply and surely because Of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world 30
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power OF Lydia Il,
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimulant-not because IT is
a palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the female system, positively
CURING disease and displacements 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 in
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due. If physician'
dared to be frank and open, hundreds
of them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound In sever'
cases of female ills, as they know b.
experience that it will effect cure.
Women who are troubled with pain

FOLLOWS BRYAN'S LEAD.

All that makes Roosevelt popular
wit hthe masses is his Endorsement of
the things advocated by Bryan in
1895 and 1900. and which were de-
pounced by republicans as anarchists
at that time, remarks the visalia
Times. For instance, the regulation
of railroad rates and the control of the
trusts have brought Roosevelt promi-
nently before the people. He is doing
in a feeble way what Bryan would
have accomplished in an orderly and
comprehensive manner. Mr.. Roose-
welt will find no comfort in any ma
tionel republican platform for his fight
on the railroads or in the curbing of
the trusts. He will have to go to the
democratic national platform for an
expression on these subjects and TO
the speeches of Mr.. Bryan for their H.
Elimination.

An OCEAN MYSTERY.

Sunk to a depth of 500 feet in the
ocean. a tightly corked empty bottle
thrown overheard by Captain Wallace,
of the British steamship Sutherland,
filled with water in a few minutes
without the cork being removed. The
theory is that the pressure of the
water was so great as to force its way

HE WAS ONCE \ MAN.

The Seattle Star arises to the occa-
sion as follows;
This is an editorial about one who
used to be a man.
He started in life without a dollar.
If "a man is worth only two dollars
a day from his head down" then this
man was worth only two dollars a day.
But after a time he got his head to
work. And by working with his head
he began to work others. He learned
how to make dollars grow. He got
onto the inside of things. He cor
nered some special privileges that the
man who works with his hands never
gets. He grew rich. He was a mil
lionaire.
In the days of his beginnings he
had married good young girl who,
like himself, was poor. She helped
him to save his money. She worked
hard and denied herself She shaved
and saved and lost her beauty. What
mattered it? They were getting rich
and would enjoy their prosperity.
But now the man looked into the
face of his wife and saw that she was
faded. She did her best to show the
old charm, in vain. And one day the
man bumped into girl. artful, fascin-
ating, of handsome face and figure
She looked at him and smiled. And
he was undone. Why shouldn't he
buy this beauty? His money would
buy anything he wanted.
And so this creature sent his law
yers to the old wife who had giver
herself for him and paid her money
And the lawyers told the wife the mil.
lionaire did not love her any more ant
had no use for her. And the million.
aire went away with the pretty. young
woman. And the old wife cried.
/ Who is this fellow with mucl
money and hardened heart?
I Turn to the books of Dun or Brad
! street and read over the list of mil
/ lionaires. Pick out one at random ant
you will scarcely miss his name an,
address.
He used to be a man.
Now he is only a millionaire.

No attempt TO account for the

PRISONS CONDEMNED BY PENOL.
OGISTS.

The following statements are credit
ed to the late Charlton T. Lewis, presi-
dent of the New York Prison associa-
tion:
"Our country iails everywhere are
the schools and colleges of crime. In
the light of social science it were bet
ter for the world il every one of them
were DESTROYED than that this work
should be continued. Experience
shows that the system OF imprisonment
of minor offenders for short terms is
but a gigantic measure for the manu-
facture of criminals. Freedom, not
confinement, is the natural state of
man. and the only condition under
which influences for reformation can
have their full efficiency.
Prison life is unnatural at best.
Man is a social creature. Confine-
ment tends to lower his consciousness
of dignity and responsibility, to weak
en- the motives which govern his re-
lations to his race, to impair the foun-
dations of character and unfit him
for independent life. To consign a
man to prison is commonly to enroll
him in the criminal class.
With all the solemnity and en-
phasis of which / am capable, 1 ute!
the profound conviction, after 20
years Of constant study of our prison
population. that more than nine-tenths
of them ought never to have been con-
fired"

This was the frank tribute of one
business man to what he deemed su-
perior business ability in Rockefeller,

sociates. But Mr. Vanderbilt implied
and very likely sincerely believed, that,
because these men are smarter than
most men, there is nothing to be done
about their iniquities. Therein he
belonged TO his time and differed
from our own. Communities might

WOULD ELIMINATE EAST RIVER.

II is the belief of Thomas A. Edi-
son. the inventor. that within decade
all the transit facilities we may con-
struct over and under the East river
will be insufficient to relieve the con-
gestion which has hitherto kept pace
with the citys growth.
In brief, with six tunnels under the
river bed and four or more huge
bridges in full blast over it. each With
capacity of SO,OOO,OOO passengers a
year, the glut and gorge of transit now
to be seen at the Manhattan end of
the Brooklyn bridge will'still exist.
Therefore, says Mr.. Edison in eff
feet. the only thing that will remain
to be done will be to fill in the east
irver and to continue the Manhattan
streets into Brooklyn.
No students of social conditions
who has watched the growth of this
city for the past Is years will call Mr..
Edison's dream an idle one.
Year by year the East river is be-
coming more and more of an obstruc-
tion to the free movement of two huge
populations. Neither ferries nor
bridge have availed to do away with
the ever-increasing congestion.
The huge Williamsburg bridge was
completed, and 10! an apparently new
army of bridge travellers sprang up
and filled it almost to its capacity,
while the old ravening army continued
to clamor around the Manhattan end
of the old bridge.
For years before the subway was
built the elevated railroads carried
100000 passengers daily. The sub
way was looked forward to for quick
and permanent relief. The subway
has been completed and carries AS
900 passengers a day, yet the elevated
roads have bated not a jot in the pres.
sure of their enormous traffic.
The filled in portion would consis
of between six and eight square miles
and would cost between 100000, ,OOC
and S5OO,O0O,0OO. When once com.
pleted. however, the great undertak
ing would practically pay for itsel
in the acquisition of four or fiv'
square miles of made land in the hear
of the greatest city in the world. l
would add millions of dollars to tn
assessed valuation of property.-Ney

PLAYING POLICY
Wide Open Door in Chicago Under Mayor Dunne's Administra-
 ton 'tis Said.

Chicago, Feb. 15-The most serious charge directed by responsible per sons against the police department since the Dunne administration began was made yesterday by the Citizens Association of Chicago.
 In letter to the mayor that reform organization announced that the play ing of policy" has been resumed and is conducted openly in Chicago with out political interference. and that q company Is operating extensively on the west side, asserting that matters have been arranged at the city hall so that they can operate unmOlested until after the spring election
 The association also declares that when an attempt was made recently to raid several of the policy agencies the gamblers were warned by detec- tives from the Desplaines station, al- though Chief of Police Collins and five of his detectives were the only ones who knew of the intended raids.
 Within ten minutes after the letter was made public, Chief Collins as- serted that Secretary Shelby M. Single ton of the Reform organization would be called to the city hall to-day and ordered to make his charges good"
 The tipping off, Chief Collins de- clared was the work of some person connected with the Reform Organiza- tion who has been drawing salaries from two sources.

BALFOUR JOINS
Chamberlainites Says He is a Mem Der of the Whole
 Hoggers."

London, Feb 15.-With former Pre- mier Balfour's formal entry into the ranks of the whole hOggers,' as the Chamberlainites have dubbed the deal, public interest ill to-day's meeting 0f the unionists at Lansdowne house was discounted and little was left for the assemblage to consider but questions of party organization and general plan of campaign. The presence or the Duke of Deyonshire, former presi- dent of the council, however. with ms free food followers was considered Ill some quarters as giving promise of en- livening the proceedings. From 5OO \ to 600 unionists attended the meeting, which lasted an hour and half. No reporters were admitted. but 1t IS < known that the proceedings were ann icable. The Duke of DevOnshire, now eyer, showed no disposition to yield his views on fiscal reform. On all other questions lie will give willing support to the party. He regretted that he had read the correspondence between Messrs Balfour and Chamber lain. published this morning, indicating that they have substantially reached an agreement on this question. The duke intinlated that he would have 10 consult with the free fo0ders of the party as to their future actions.
 Mir Chamberlain declared that If the Duke of Devonshire's views prevailed the majority of the unionist party would have to submit to the majority.
 \ resolution expressing confidence in MT Balfour was passed.

HENRY REED HELD UP
Rowdies Tried to Rifle His Pocket, on North Riverside Street,
 But He Escaped

Last evening Henry Reed of River side street, an employe of Randolph X Gloves, was waylaid near his home by a crowd of rowdies, who tried to re- lieve him of his money, thinking that he had good sum, as it was Wednes- day night and as he was coming home from work. Tuesday night the same fellows asked Reed for money and he refused, so consequently he thinks he knows the men who endeavored to do him up last night Reed works until about 8 o'clock in the evening, and it was about 3 when he was nearing his home on North Riverside street. The men, who, he says, had some booze i'll, rushed out upon him and one of them struck him a blow in the back of the neck which felled him. They started to rifle his pockets, but before they got to where his money was he was on his feet, and the fellows, although they were slightly intoxicated, were able to get away before he got an off cer Reed today had a few bruises on his head, but was not injured badly He imagines that he knows his would be assailants and may later have them arrested.

PURE PUBLIC WATER
Secretary Lindsley Says that Ere quent Chemical Examinations
 Should Be Made.

New Haven, Conn.,, Feb. 15-In the monthly report of Secretary C. A. Lindsley of the state board of health, made public to-day, Dr Lindsey calls attention to the great importance of testing the purity of the public water service and gives some interesting facts concerning chemical examina- tions of the water in wells and other supplies. Secretary Lindsley says that because of the changes to which all public supplies. are exposed the examination of all should be made annually. He says that eight years ago the state board was empowered to ascertain as far as practicable all facts in relation to the pollution of streams and the natural waters of the state. The board was allowed $2,oO0 annually. Although this amount has been found to be inadequate very thorough examination has been made. Continuing Secretary Lindsley says: "The typhoid epidemics which occur from time to time are almost always due to infected water. They are sometimes called milk epidemics but in more than 90 per cent. it was in fected water that infected the milk. It is doubtful if the state board has done any work at so small expense that has brought such immediate and satisfactory results. Every month the chemists of the board reports q number of supplies that are dangerous and should be condemned, others as suspicious and should be better guard- ed. Not great while ago in one Ot the large cities of the state the well to do part of the community were sup piled with popular table water in bottles. It was bright and sparkling and perfectly clear but under a chem ical examination it was found to be grossly contaminated. It 1895 under the direction of the board of health. about 2J0 wells which supply the pub lie schools in rural Connecticut were examined. A majority were found to be more or less polluted and only about one-third, as appeared by an- alysis. were free from sewage rollu- tion."
 Secretary Lindsley then says that with such evidence of value at hand that the board cannot understand why the Committee on Appropriations of the legislature took the responsibility of reducing the annual appropriation for examination of the water in tbe state from S2.500 to S1.O00. He says that the amount was barely enough to meet the imperative expenses incur red in the discharge of the duties of the board. The same Is true in the amount for general expenses which was sliced from S4.oD to S2.JO0
 ''Surely the committee was not ill., formed from reliable sources Of tite real needs of the board. This explan- ation.- concludes the secretary. 'ls one to which the public is entitled"
 The mortality report for the month of January shows that there were I.331 deaths in the state. This was I3 more than in December and sl less than in January of last year. It was iJ less than the average number of deaths during January for tine i've preceding Sears.

MEDAL IS DUE HIM
Motorman Made Quick Stop an8 Prevented an Accident Near
 ScovilP. Bridge.

The motorman on the Baldwin street trolley car made a stop .yester day afternoon that entitled him to q medal. The car was going down the sharp grade directly south of Scovill's bridge when grocery team in charge of young man came rushing down Bridge street. The driver of the ve-s hicle was heading for River street and instead of pulling up to let the trolley pass, he took chances with it and was saved from what might have resulted in q serious mix-up simply because the motorman performed what was term- ed remarkable feat in bringing his car to standstill just i'll time to avoid a collision. Even at that, the team gave the fender slight jar. but not enough to cause an upset. As the grocer's clerk galloped away down River street without looking behind, one of the passengers on the car look ed after him and remarked, Devil take you," while the others laughed 1t the humor of the thing
