TIE COME AND SEE SIGN

This sign is permanently attached to the front of the main building of the Lydia k. Pmkham Medicine Company, Lynn, Mass.
 What Does This Sign Mean? It means that public inspection of the Laboratory and methods of doing business is honestly desired. Itmeans that there is nothing about the bus tness which is not "open and above board"
 It means that permanent invita- tion is extended to anyone to come and verify any and all statements made in the advertisements of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs - with out drugs?
 Come and See.
 Do the women of America continu- ally use as much of it as we are told? Come and See.
 Was there ever such a person as Lydia E. Pinkhah, and is there any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick woman are asked to write :? Come and See.
 Is the vast private correspondence with sick women conducted by women only, and are the letters kept strictly confidential Come and See.
 Have they really got letters from over one million, one hundred thousand women correspondence Come and See.
 Have they proof that Lydia F, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured thousands of these womenp Come and See.
 This advertisement is only for doubters. The great army of women who know from their own personal experience that no medicine in the world equals Lydia k. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for female ills will still go on using and being ben cited by it; but the poor doubting, suffering woman must. for her own sake,b be taught confidence, ,forshe also might just as well regain her health.

ANTI-JUG BILL UP.
Measure Preventing Use Of Fictitious
Names on Liquor Packages Pre-
sented in the Senate


Senator Clark of Wyoming Monday
reported to the senate the bill drafted
by Senator Knox and approved by the
judiciary committee to regulate in
terstate shipments of intoxicating
liquors.
The bill Is simple in form, and deals
with only three of the questions that
have been raised in connection vita
this subject. 1t provides that ship
ments Of Intoxicating liquors from one
state or territory or from foreign
country 20 another state or country
must be delivered to the person to
whom they were consigned, or upon
written order of the bona fide con-
signee. Failure to comply with this
provision or the delivery of the ship
ments to any fictitious person or any
person under fictitious name would
subject the guilty officer, agent or
employee of any railroad company, ex-
press company or other common car
rier, to a fine of not more than $4,000.
The second section of the bill pro-
vides against the agent Of the COM
mon carrier acting as the agent for the
buyer or seller Of Intoxicating liquors,
and the third section requires that
packages of liquor shall be labeled on
outside cover so as to plainly show the
nature Of its contents and the guam
tity contained therein. The latter two
provisions are subject to the same
penalties as the first. In the case Of
liquors shipped from a foreign country
the provisions of the act are not to
take effect until sixty days after its
passage.

Cash SUNK IN MUD.
Congressman LilIey Declares Millions Have
Been Thrown Away On Various
Navy Yards Of Country.

I
Navy Yards Of Country.
Representative Lilley Of Connecticut
whose charges against the Electric
Boat company and the subsequent in
veStigation have brought him into the
limelight, spoke on the naval appro-
proation bin in the house Saturday. He
devoted himself almost exclusively to
navy yards and brought out startling
facts and figures.
He took occasion to introduce res
olution calling for the appointment Of
commission to report on the advisa-
bility OF abandoning the navy yards
and naval stations at Kittery, Maine;
Port Royal, S. c.; Charleston, s. c.;
Key West, Fla; New Orleans, La, and
Mare Island Cal. OF the Key West
yard he said:
AT this yard, in the fiscal year end
ing in 1907, $94,S1S.77 was expended
for labor and the value Of their total
product was but $7,1261s, or there
might just as well have been tossed on
the coral reefs $S7, as far as any
return to the government was concern
ed, and yet last session of congress
voted to throw $44,50O more Of good
money after the bad"
AT Kittery there is a dry dock
which costs $1,1OO,0OO. The dock is in
readiness for the docking Of first class
battleships, but the approaches are In
such condition as to make 1t mad
visable to take first class battlestIips
to that yard.
But the point that the business man
would fail to comprehend is that $780,
600 was appropriated at both sessions
of the last congress for new construc-
ton at New Orleans and for what adj
vantage to the United States navy God
only knows"
Charleston S. G., furnished Mr.. Lii
ley with his most remarkable navy
yard figures:
During the past i've years $213,-
213.75 has been disbursed among la
borers," he said, land there has never
been done for the navy one cents
worth of work at this yard Yet, at
the last session of congress SITS. 900
more was appropriated for this yard
at Charleston
Annapolis, for which congress has
sen fit to appropriate sums that reach
a total Of over $1O.oOO,oOO, is sunk in
the mud. Battleships cannot reach the
academy, and the United States coast
and geodetic survey reports show that
the upper Chesapeake is fast filling
up"

of liquor interests and hired politicians
has been made to capture the state
There is not word from Mr.. Brown
in favor of negro Acknowledgement.
There is an open attack upon the
railroad commission.
There is a poorly concealed admis-
sion that he would approve legislation
repeating the prohibition bill together
with the suggestion that legislators
will be elected favorable to the sale Of
liquor.
Il intensely advocate negro dis
reimbursement.
'I support the railroad commission
Fl am opposed to the repeal of the
prohibition law. win veto any legisla-
tion changing the law except to per-
feet it as prohibition measure, and
this must be done by the friends Of
prohibition.
'This issue has passed beyond the
mere sale of liquor The brewers held
meeting and the press reported a
million of dollars raised by them to be
used in Georgia, Alabama and Missis-
sippi The liquor interests have organ
lied in Chicago with local headquarters
in Atlanta for the purpose of fighting
for the sale of liquor in this state and
elsewhere.
Already their hired men are on the
streets of this city. The men engaged
in this work are opposed to negro dis
reimbursement. If successful they will,
through local elections, with the negro
voting, buy his vote and place liquor
everywhere.
"Mr. Joseph M. Brown and the hired
politicians will not be permitted to
place the negro in control today. The
people Of Georgia repudiated Joseph M.
Brown as railroad commissioner and
the hired politicians as political dicta-
tors in 1906. Now you are asked to
make Joe Brown governor, and to put
the hired politicians back in control
with the liquor interests as the chief
power behind them. Place the demo
cratic party in Georgia under their
control and your disfranchisement law
will be killed.
