An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
10 their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this Is only In re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar TO their sex.
1t is a terrible ordeal TO n 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 il 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 corre-
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 correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
If you suffer from any form OF trouble
peculiar to women, write at once 10
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.

The streneth Of a NatIon.

President Roosevelt, judging by his
lambuoyant letter TO the Secretary Of
War ia praise Of Admiral Togo achieve
ment of wiping the Russian feet off the
sea, evidently believes thc strength OF "a
nation 10 lie entirely in its organized
army and navy. "Evey American officer
and enlisted man. whether serving in the
army or navy, he wrote, "should keep
ever before bis eyes the fact that he will
not be iit thoroughly to do his work in
the event of war unless IN peace he has
thoroughly done his work in preparing
for war;
Evidently, our warlord President has
little conception, or very sighting
opinion, Of the citizen soldiery who fought
the war Of the American Revolution and
laid the foundations of our great Republic
Likewise, he must have little conception,
or little opinion, Of the great body Of citi-
zens, who, without the slightest previous
military training, fought our mighty
Civil War to a successful issue.
10 has been truly said that the strength
and power OF a free government lie not in
is armies and navies but in the intel
ligence, virtue and patriotism of It's free
people. But this is not Roosevelt doctrine.

rhey Turned to savings sanks.

Ihcy Turned 20 Savings Bdnks.
A remarkable growth IN the resources
Of the savings banks Of New York is
shown by the report Of the superintendent
Of the State Banking Department. The
gain during the year 1905 is given as
S93.sO7,391.67 an unprecedented figure.
10 is maintained by some that tho
revelations of scandals IN the managc-
ment Of tho three great insurance com
panies of New York City had great deal
TO do with the large increase in savings
banks deposits A comparison Of tho
the figures Of lapscs in the payment of
premiums ON insurance policies issued in
New York with the increase of savings
bank deposits and those Of diminished
Withdrawals, would show, il is held, not
only significant agreement in times and
amounts, but that the agreement 30
frequently advanced recently that it were
better TO invest surplus earnings IN savings
banks than in insurance policies was not
without effect.
The plain fact of the situation is that
many people become scared at the in
suranco companies, and. permitting their
policies TO lapse, made Il a point TO place
the amount Of the premiums in the savings
banks where they draw interest and were
regarded as sale. 10 was tho custom of
many insured persons to make weekly
deposits IN the savings banks and then
draw upon them at the end of the year
for the purpose Of paying their insurance
but after the insurance cx-
posures they permitted their premium
money to reemain in the banks.
II is sad commentary upon the mis-
management Of the insurance companies
that so many people should have per-
mitted their policies to lapse thus vir-
tually sacrificing the money they had
paid thereon, because they had lost faith
In the management of the companies.

The Drawing Of Inrlea.

For the pending term Of tho Superior
Court in New Castle county special juies
have been ordered ia twenty-threo cases.
There must be some reason for this.
Special iuries arc drawn when the
parties TO an action are not satisfied
with the regular jury panel, and desire
a specially selected one to draw from.
In such cases, each side selects a number
of MINES, from which the panel is drawn.
OF course, each side selects the names
oithe best citizens Of the county.
Tho question naturally arises: Why
should not the regular agents of drawing
iuries adopt the plan of putting the
names Of the best citizens in the boxes
from which the jury panels are drawn ?
The answer is that frequently jury service
is employed as a means of paying politi-
cal debts.
That a reform in our system of draw
ing iuries is imperatively needed has long
been apparent. Attempts to secure this
reform have been made at several sessions
of the Legislature, but without avail.
The effort will be renewed at the next
session, and may it then meet with sue
cess.

We have taken pleasure, from time 10

and encouraging progress. But we are
now about TO record its greatest achieve
ment.
When this reform movement was
launched it met with no encouragement
Mt the hands Of the leading Republican
newspaper Of Delaware the Morning
News. That paper was silent ON the
subject. II was hot for reform in Oregon
and Philadelphia, but it had no words of
encouragement for the cause of reform
in Delaware.
Meanwhile, the anti-bribery movement
steadily progressed. Good citizens of
varying political faiths signed the anti
bribery pledge, and It soon became an
parent that the movement meant some
thing and was bound 20 accomplish M
suits. The elements Of corruption at
elections began TO sit up and take notice.
Finally, they began to express themselves
IN favor OF honest and unbribed elections
recognizing the fact that the mere exist
enee OF the anti-bribery movement would
make elections Of any other kind very
dangerous. Finally, the Regular Re

become horribly corrupt and placed itself

Then tho Morning News venured to

in Delaware.
