LYDIA E. PINKHHM

Nature and a woman's work con- bined have produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that tho 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 baffle the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs.
 From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pe- culiar ills, more potent and ef1ca- cious thanany combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills.
 Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St., Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
 Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public.
 "For twelve years I had been suffer- ing with the worst forms of female ills. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what 1 suffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two years ago 1 wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re- stored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women."
 What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound did for Mrs. Muff, twill do for other suffering women.

WILL DIVIDE
THE PRECINCTS
Joint Meeting of City and
County Officers to Be
Held Friday.

A joint meeting of CITY and county
officials has been Planned for Friday
night. when the matter OF making ad-
ditional polling places in the city pre-
cincts will be discussed and some ac-
ton taken. The meeting was to have
been held ThursdaE night, but at its
session last night the county commits
sioners decided upon Friday night, in
asmuch as the commissioners are to
meet on that date for the purpose of
placing names in the jury box and to
pass upon other matters
The question of dividing the four
city precincts has been discussed for
some time, and upon invitation of the
commissioners, some of the city Off
cials are 10 participate in the division.
The last special election demonstrate
ed that all of the precincts are too
large and that it may be impossible
for all TO vote where there is tick
ct of any length to be voted. The
commissioners have determined TO
regulate this matter, and at the meet
ing of Friday night it is expected that
two precincts will be made of each
of the present four.

ness 10 conceal the real thing while
making dark illusions.
A naval officer said lately that the
sending of the battleship squadron to
the Pacific might be explained on tho
ground that il was desired to give
them opportunity to maneuver and TO
give the officers the practice, but that
this explanation could not be accepted
i'll case of the torpedo fiotilla. The
absolute danger to long cruise
should have restrained the depart
ment from issuing such order EXCEPT
under the stress of necessity, and the
only necessity, therefore, would be the
prospect of trouble at the end of the
voyage.

TO WHIP OR NOT TO WHIP

The school authorities of New Yorl
city have had under consideration fol
many months the question of the ad
visibility of restoring corporal punish
discipline in the elementary schools
The superiltendents and principals
have been consulted, and commit
tee, after tabulating the returns, finds
that majority recommend whipping
in certain cases. The committee it
self indorses this recommendation
OF education.
Something Of sensation has been
caused by the report that New York
contemplates the restoration of the
rod-or strap-in her schools at this
late day, a day of humanity and prog.
ress and education by selection" and
play. But it should be borne in mind
that the proposition is carefully lin.
tied. Teachers are to have no right
to resort to physical correction under
any circumstances. Where obstinate
insubordination and truancy render
whipping necessary in the opinion OF
the principal. either he (or she), in
the presence of the parent, or the par
ent himself Tor herselD is to perform
the salutary operation.
With so many safeguards and re-
strictions to prevent cruelty and abuse
by impulsive or incompetent educa-
tors, it cannot be said that the New
York recommendation is either dras-
tic or terribly reactionary Still. the
opponents OF whipping will object to
it as the thin end of the wedge" and
urge the establishment of special tru-
ant schools instead.
A New York paper that does not
sympathize with the whipping pho.
posal points out that large majority
of the women principals voted against
1t, and that the women teachers are
much less disposed than those of the
sterner sex to rely on the rod or the
strap for moral improvement. Does
this argue greater gentleness and soft
ness, or do women make more sue.
