Laundry work at hoIhe would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance. but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Eldora-The success or failure OF

county. In this state. may hinge upon
the solution of the controversy over
whether the women weeders shall
wear their ordinary garb or bifurcated
garments.
1t has been the custom of girls en-
ployed in the beet field to don a pair
of overalls like the men, so as to give
them freedom of movement in clearing
the beets of weeds. Some Puritanical
persons object to this habit on the
ground that 1t is Immoral and leads
to destruction of modesty."
The girls declare that the wearing
of skirts has deferred them from do
ing rapid work, and therefore they put
on overalls. The young women seem
to like the change and take to the new
garment quite generally. finding 1t just
the thing for their work. They insist
that a large. roomy pair of overalls is
no more immodest than a skirt, espe-
cially so in the beet field.
A local enthusiastic supporter of the
crusade against girls wearing overalls
asserts that the beet field will be
worse than the dance hall as a source

paramount and its proper solution

When physician tells woman, suf-
fering from female trouble, that an
operation is necessary it, OF course,
frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror TO
her heart As one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death lSnell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach n stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than Is generally supposed,
because n great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's S
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrits Ryan, Treasurer of St
Andrews Society, indianapolis, Ind,
writes of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
cannot find words to express my thanks
for the good Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said could
not get well unless l had an operation for
the trouble from which suffered. l knew

Vegetable Compound had saved other women
from serious operations decided to try it,
and in less than four months 1 was entirely
cured; and words fail to express my thank
fulness."
Miss Margret Mersley, of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Nls.. writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
''Loss of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs cramps bearing down pains, and an
irritable disposition compelled me to seek
medical advice The doctor, after making
an examination, said that had a serious
female trouble and liberation. and advised an
operation as my only hope. To this strongly
objected-and decided as a last resort to try
lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
.'To my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and cam

who know Mr.. Shallenberger know
that since 1890 he has been an avowed

BY the united efforts of populists

ulists afford not to give him our sup
port? Can we trust the republicans
to bring relief to the people? Their
record for thirty-six years rises up and
says no. The campaign that they are
now making condemns them and right

their present campaign they admit
that they have been wrong for all
these years, but are now pleading to
be returned TO power, promising to do
better things. "By their fruits we shall
know them
There is only one way for the people
to gain control of the affairs of state
and that is to support the entire fusion

officials. This is no time to sulk or

ton. No populist should stay at home

on until the close of election day,
should be up and doing.

Boyd and His Pass

If we can give credence to the views
of the Fremont Tribune we must be-
lieve that the defeat of Congressman
Mccarthy and the nomination of Judge
Boyd were distinct victories for the
railroad brigade. Less than three
weeks ago the Tribune boldly placed
Judge Boyd in the ranks of the free
pass railroad regiment in this district
The question naturally arises, was it
the power of the railroad pass which
brought about the nomination of Judge
Boyd, or was it the deadly favor of
the Tribune which killed Mccarthy :?
Was Mccarthy unfortunate in having
the support of the Tribune, or was
Boyd lucky in having the help of the
/ free pass brigade? We are inclined
to believe it was little of both. In
the meantime let us not forget that
in the coming campaign Judge Boyd
must defend his record as a pass
grabber. We have the Tribune for
authority when we speak of him as
a pass fiend, because it is only three
weeks since the Tribune discoursed
upon the effect of the unclean thing
in Boyds pants pocket. The safe
course for every voter in the district
to take will be to line up with Judge
Graves who was nominated at Nor
folk last Monday to make the race
against Boyd. He does not have a
} pass in his pocket today, did not have

THE MIDWEST LIFE

This company now has over $685. 900
of insurance in force and has reached
policy number 255. A list of its policy
holders in Lincoln, even after exclud-
ing those who are stockholders, would
disclose many of the leading business
and professional men of the city. Or.
ganized as an old line company, and
doing business as such from the start,
it will not be handicapped by any as
sessment or stipulated premium poll
cies. The premium paid on each policy
will be sufficient to carry that policy.
No class of policyholders will ever be-
come a burden to any other class.
The Midwest Life is essentially an
annual dividend company. 1t has not
put out single deferred dividend pol
icy. Stock in any financial, CONNER
cial or industrial enterprise could not
be sold if the management attempted
to sell it on the plan of allowing all
dividends to accumulate for 10, Is or
20 years Who would buy stock in a
bank if the directors said to the pro-
posed stockholders: You will receive
no dividend for 20 years, and during
| CnOSe ~ years we Will HOT even TenueF
you an accounting of the yearly earn
! ings? Why should a policyholder in
a life insurance company have to wait
20 years before knowing what his in
surance costs him?
| The agency force is increasing every
month Experienced men, who by
years of service in the field have DEM
onstrated their ability to sell life in
surance, recognize The Midwest Life
as one of the coming companies of
the great middle west and they are
entering its service in greater numbers
than such men usually enter into the
service of new company.

POpul1SL f1eduQ udIIeIo, LluColn Ilo-
tel, Lincoln, Neb., October 2, 1906
To the Populst of Nebraska: The
campaign that is now on is one OF
great Importance to the populists OF
Nebraska Since the birth OF the
state, it's people have been under the
yoke of bondage to the great corpora
tons of our commonwealth. Though
for years the people have been strug-
Cling for their liberty, yet they have
so far been unsuccessful in their ef-
forts.
While populists and democrats were
in control of the state, during the
years 1896 to 1900 the people saw the
first light of better days and some re-
lief from their oppressors. With the
return of the republicans to power
came a return of the old conditions.
The republicans are now advocating
populistic principles, but they do not
practice them. They are now posing
as simon-pure reformers, but while ad-
vocating these principles they have
nominated a ticket made up of men
that have been the vikings tools of
corporations. They are denouncing
the pass, yet all of their candidates
have been pass holders and some that
are making the most noise have only
recently reformed GU.
For six years the republican party
has controlled the legislative and exec
made the appropriations, equalized the
assessments, made the levies, collect
ed the state taxes, and spent the mon
ey They have absolutely controlled
the finances and must be held entirely
responsible for the low taxation on
railroad property, the high taxation on
all other property, the increased state
taxes levied upon the various counties
of the state and the extravaganza ap-
preparations made by the various legis-
latures.
Under these conditions can we hope
for any reform from a party that has
not even reformed itself?
1t is true that populists and many
democrats were disappointed when the
convention failed to nominate Hon
George w. Berge for governor. 1t is
equally true that both the pOpulistiC
and democratic conventions endorsed
the state ticket that was nominated al
that time, so that there is complete
fusion between the two parties.
Our candidate for governor is not 6

that Mr.. Sheldon is an anti-railroat
man. Now the facts are the reverse

The great scarcity of coal has been
creating considerable trouble in Park
City lately, and several times some of the
mines have been on the verge of closing
down. Last night it was necessary to
send coal to some of the mines after dark
to prevent a close-dowr. At the Wabash
it was necessary to close pending the ar
rival of coal.
The problem is the same each winter
and before long, if Park City keeps on
growing, it will be necessary to find a
new way of supplying this locality. or
some freezing will be experienced by resi-
dents here.
