While less has been done this year
in the building and Improvement OF
churches than in the previous years OF
my incumbency of the presiding ell
ders Office, this is due largely to the
decreasing demand for such work.
There is today scarcely a society with
in the limits of the Richmond dis

church edifice. Never in its history
has the district been so we'll equipped

The Temperance Forces Say
They Will Win Fifth Ward
Saloon Fight.
PREPARE A REMONSTRANcE
CARDS GIVING POWER OF AT
TORNEY TO LEADERS, BEING
FREELY SIGNED BY SCORES OF
VOTERS.
The temperance forces of the Fifth

The temperance forces of the Fifth
ward who are just now in the field
preparing to present a remonstrance
to the board of Wayne county COM
missioners that will be directed
against the liquor traffic in the ward,
say they are meeting with so much
encouragement that there seems to be
no doubt in their minds that the re-
quisite number of signatures will be
obtained.
Cards which stipulate that the sign
er gives the power of attorney to GER
tain persons for the purpose OF affix-
ing the signatures of the citizen to
any and all remonstrances that may
be filled against the liquor traffic in
that ward during the next year, are
being distributed and according to the
statements of those in charge Of the
work majority of persons visited
sign them without hesitation.
IL he majority of the voters Of the
ward sign the remonstrance the
county commissioners, 1t is asserted
can TAX no other action than to re-
fuse to grant new licenses or reissues
in that ward.
Within the next week or two the
work will have reached the stage that
1t will be possible to determine wheth-
er success will crown the efforts of the
temperance workers. Scores of per-
sons living north of the railroad in
the Fifth ward have affixed their sig
natures to the cards, and some of the
most ardent workers in behalf of
busting" the saloons are those who
reside in that part of the city.

Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsT.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
and painful periods. displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, dig
illness and sleeplessness.
SEcoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache.
nervousness, kidney troubles, infiam-
nation of the female organs. weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
icited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb.
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
toWomen.--Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs Pink
ham. at Lynn, Mass. ALI letters are
received. Opened read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia e. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
wishing sick women free of charge. Out of
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs Pinkham proba bly,
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she doesno take
advantage Of this generous Asssr Of
assistance.

WHO ENDORSED
BUCKS CANDIDACY
Is Question That Is Agitating Con.
gresham Mckinney, Who Says
He Did Not.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 1S.-(Spe-
cial to The Argus).-Who recommend
ed Edwin II. Buck to the department
for the postmastership at Rock Island,
is the question that is now agitating
Congressman Mckinney.
Although the prominence of Mr.
Buck among the list of candidates was
originally attributed to the congress
man from the Fourteenth district, the
latter now declares, as he did in per-
son to. me yesterday, that he had re-
commended no one and would not do
so until the postmaster general had
changed his purpose to reappoint
Postmaster Thomas.
The consequence is that Congress
man Mckinney is sparing no effort to
find out how Bucks name got before
the department and whose congression-
al endorsement has given it promi-
nence among the list of applicants.

About Reform in Russia.

1t would be impossible to overesti-
mate the difficulties that must attend
any serious effort to reform the evils
in the present social and political or
ganization of Russia. Even the sincere
friends of reform share the above con-
viction. II is also impossible to esti-
mate the amount of suffering caused
by weak stomachs. disordered livers
and kidneys and constipated bowels,
but we do know that where Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters has been used
the results have been phenomenal.
In many cases a permanent cure was
even after other remedies
had failed. 1t always cures sick head
aches, biliousness, dizziness, backache,
