LYDIA E. PINkHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandese
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of tho
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effca-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of SIS NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo, writes:
complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women l am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years l had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time l had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what l suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. P%inkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t 10
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia f. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muf,
it will do for other suffering women

STOP THIS COUNTY TALK.

IN THE discussion that has been started over
the nomination of Mr. Davis as the Republi-
can candidate for attorney-general the brethren
in the lower counties seem to be desirous of stir
ring up feeling between the counties-of array
ing Kent and Sussex against New Castle. This
disposition was manifest at the State convention.
1t usually appears at State conventions of both
parties. It us always in evidence in a Democratic
State convention, and it finds expression in the
rules of the Democratic party, bv which the num-
Der OF city delegates to a State conven-
ton of that party is limited to only hfteen-an
absurd apportionment-consider the size and
strength OF the party in this city.
But this feeling was in evidence to an unpleas-
ant extent at the Republican State convention,
and since then it has cropped out more or less
upon various occasions. We advise Senator
Richardson, as the head of the party in Kent. to
call of those who are seeking to foment this con-
fiict between the interests of the upper and the
lower and middle part of the State.
The New Castle Republicans have "plaved
fair with their brethren in the lower part of the
State. The latter have no Just complaint New
Castle stood aside at the State convention and
agreed, without serious question, to the claims of
Sussex county for the nomination for governor,
although there was undoubted sentiment in
this city for the denomination of Governor Lea.
The New Castle men, however were bound to
keep faith with the Sussex and Kent men, and
as a consequence Sussex countain will name
the new judges, Just as a Sussex countain named
the present judiciary, although by far the most
important legal business Of the State concerns
this city and county.
Kent county could have had the nominee for
lieutenant.governor had that county made de-
mand for the office. Dr. Marshall, Kent coun-
tain. would have been nominated for auditor OF
accounts in all probability had not many of the
Sussex delegates left the convention before the
nomination was made. Surely that was not the
fault OF New Castle county
We, therefore, deprecate this inclination TO as
sail the Republicans Of this county. 1t can bring
no good TO the party. 1t is a sword that cuts
both ways. Those who care TO discuss Delaware
politics would do well to cease the agitation Of
one county against the other.

Nn,u Ierssu water,uavs

The awakening Of New Jersey to the
importance of improving its waterways
melted the Legislature in June, 1907
to provide for the cost of surveying the
inland waterway along the coast extend
ing from Cape May the extreme southern
point of the State, to Bay Head. near the
entrance to Manasquan Inlet. a distance
Of about III miles. The purpose was to
ascertain the cost Of providing a navi-
gable channel either eight or ten feet deep
and fifty feet wide. The survey was con-
Quoted with such diligence that it was
completed before the end Of the year, and
the results. with large map in four sec
tions showing the proposed route to be
dredged for an eight fot channel, are
published I'm the report just issued by the
State geologist
The estimated cost of the eight foot
channel is $3.50 AIS; of the ten foot cham
mel. S5l393l If the proposed improvement
at Manasquan Inlet is made, craft from
New York harbor may travel to Cape May
with a run of only twenty-seven miles in
the open ocean. This distance, covered in
about three hours. would present no SER
ious obstacle to comparatively small craft
and the remaining 120 miles to Cape May
would be through sheltered inland waters.
While the proposed waterway would be
OF considerable value to commerce. its
chief use, as defined by DR.. Kummel, the
State geologist, would unquestionably be
for pleasure travel and intercommunica
ton between the many resorts upon the
sea and bay shores; and 1t would doubt
| less lead to the establishment of several
useful routes Of travel by steamers.
