MRS. ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such a woman
is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is displacement, Inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia e. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and nerDs, is the exact medicine
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. 1t keeps the feminine organs
in a strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
cuperating therefrom it is most eff
cient. 1t carries woman safely
through the change of life and in
making her strong and well assists
her to be good wife and mother.
Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeanette,
Pa. writes
Dear Mrs Pinkham-
II suffered severely with pain every
month and also pain in my left side. My
doctor prescribed for me but did me no
good friend advised Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and l wrote you in
regard to my condition. l followed your
advice and am perfectly well woman. The
minis hava nIl disaDnearpd and I cannot
recommend your medicine too highly"

Temporarily Unable to Perform

VICTORY FOR ANTJ-GRAFT
Those Interested In Prosecution of
Evil-Doers Are Now In Actual Con-
troll Of Municipal Situation and Will
Have the Naming of New Mayor

San Francisco, June 1S.--Under or
ders of District Attorney Langdon, the
board of supervisors last night adopted
a resolution declaring Mayor Eugene
L. Schmitz temporarily unable to per
form his official duties and appointing
Supervisor James l.. Gallagher acting
mayor. Gallagher says he VIII assume
the mayoralty at once. He denies that
h. has made arrangements with any
one to resign at demand i'll order to
make way for reform mayor whose
name is yet to be announced.
District Attorney Langdon. Rudolph
Spreckles and their immediate associ-
ates in the bribery graft prosecution
are by this move placed in actual con
trol of the municipal situation, because
the supervisors owe immunity on graft
confessions to the district attorney.
1t is the plan of the district attorney
TO call for resignation in a few days of
some II supervisors These forthcOm-
ing. Acting Mayor Gallagher will, it is
planned, appoint to the vacancy man
named by the district attorney As
soon as this man takes Office Gallagher
VIII resign from the mayors chair
The man most persistcntly mentioned
FOR this place is Attorney Joseph
Dalyer, president of the Independence
Lea que, but that political connection is
said to render him unacceptable to
SpreckleS, the financial gu1rantor of
the bribery graft investigation. Unless
disturbed by the courts, the new regime
will endure until next January.
Mayor SchmitZ. convicted last week
Of the crime of eXtortion remains Il
prisoner in jail.
The resolution declaring the mayors
chair vacant and appointing Gallagher
to fill il was adopted after fight on
the floor. 1t was opposed by Super
vIsorS Turlmoe and O'Neil. 1t was
voted for by - supervisors whose con-
fesSOnS. to bride taking are tran
scrbed in grand jury records. AS
none of these has been indicted for
bride taking, the general opinion is that
they are to escape punishment if they
continue TO do the bidding of the dis
trict attorney and his prosecuting asso-
ciateS.

The history of this duma, like its
p1 edecessor, has been one of almost con-
slant clashes with the government
This in spite of the fact that a con-
sistent effort was made in some quar-
tiers to make the duma an effective leg
islative body, and that the governments
program for legislation contained a
number of real reforms. The cabinet
declared it would give parliament every
chance to justify its existence. The
deputies, however, were insistent on
radical changes, and their persistence
in this course resulted in what amounts
to charge by the government that the
duma was a shelter for conspiracy and
treason against the state.
The situation entered upon its final
phase when the revolutionary mem
bers OF the lower house went over to
London and took part in a congress
which had for its avOwed purpose the
upsetting of the throne of the ear.
From the very beginning the SEES
sions OF the second duma have been
characterized by bitterness. recrimina-
tion and discomfort. and there have
been countless evidences of the hostility
between the house and the administra-
ton

Emperor Nicholas affixed his sigma
ture yesterday TO an imperial ukase
abolshing the present duma and order
ing that the elections of members to its
successor. which is to meet Nov II. be
held under the new election law. which
provides against the "submergence Of
the educated classes by the uneducated
masses"
This act constitutes a virtual coup
d'etat and overrides the specific pro-
visions of the fundamental laws of the
realm, solemnly proclaimed by the car
on the eve of the convection of the
first duma, when he declared that the
electoral law could never be changed
without the consent of the parliament
itself
This breach of the constitution is
justified by the great law of necessity,
the advisers of the ear holding it i'm
possible under present conditions to Sc
cure a parliament capable of co-operat-
ing tremendously with the crown to
rescue Russia from anarchy and revO-
luton.
The dissolution of the duma, arising
directly from the refusal of that body
to consent to the demand made upon it
by Premier StOlypin to permit the ar
rest of number of its members on the
charge of conspring against the state,
does not come as surprise.
