This sign is permanently attached
to the front of the main building OF
the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean?
1t means that public inspection of
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. Itmeans
that there is nothing about the bus
mess which is not "open and above
board"
1t means that a permanent invita-
ton 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 person as
Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any
Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick
woman are asked to writer
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 E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women?
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 E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for female ills
will still go on using and being ben
Gifted by it; but the poor doubling.
suffering woman must, for her own
sake, be taught confidence, forshe also
might just as well regain her health.

Terror's Effect on Hair.

1t has been repeatedly affirmed that
Queen Marie Antoinette's auburn hair
turned white in the days of the reign
of terror, and an English surgeon
named Parry states that just after the
Indian mutiny he actually saw the jet
black hair o. rebel Sepoy, who was
under examination and feared dread
ful death, turn white In the course of
an hour. In the time of the commune

The Poets Error.

"Of course" said the poets friend.
"he has his faults, but he's true poet.
He gives his life to the service of the
muses."
Yes" put in the critic, but seems
to make the mistake of supposing that
Bacchus Is one of the muses."

DENIES THAT BRYAN
"coULD DO NO HARM"

Congressman Burke Says Office Of
President Is Infinitely More Powerful
Than Congress.
Congressman James Francis Burke
Of pittsburg in an address on ''The
Powers Of the President" says:
'The American people caH make no
greater mistake than to elect Mr.. Bry-
an on the assumption that he can do
no harm in the face Of an adverse SEN
ate. AS between the executive and
legislative departments of the govern
ment the former has Infinitely greater
power TO rule and ruin than the latter.
"Mr. Taft and Mr.. Bryan are wholly
different types of men. Each pos
sesses strong individual character,
which would certainly assert itself in
the White House. What either OF
these men would do during a four
years term In the White House is
causing as much anxiety among
thoughtful Americans as the mere
matter of the election alone.
AS disturber of moneys the pres
ldent Is without rival In the world.
Through the agencies under his con-
troll he will this year dlsburse billion
dollars, showing the great things we
are doing in adding to the unparalleled
list Of the worlds achievements.
I'm view of the fact that during the
fifteen years Of Bryan leadership the
states controlled by his party have de.
creased from % to u, the number Of
senators from As to 81, the number of
representatives in congress from 900
to 1874 and in that time the Democratic
party was in control of the ground,
whereas It is now, as consequence Of
his teachings, hopeiessly hetero.
geneous mass OF Populistic elements,
the American people can see little pros
poets of constructive policy If Mr..
Bryan should succeed"

the sincerity of purpose of the con- ferrees was not marred by politics and all seemed only too ready to CO operate with the president in those worthy objects which he laid before the conference, the meeting was not without it's political features. When obliged to leave the chair, MT Roose- yelt called Governor Johnson to i're- side over the meeting and the nimbie witted Minnesotian made excellent use of his opportunity. His coming to Washington and the ability with which he presided gave increased i'm petus to his presidential boom. On the other hand, the evident intimacy between Mir Johnson and J. J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Rail way, gave force to the rumor long circulated in Washington that the Minnesota governors political aspira- tions are being backed by the railway magnate and tinancier.

Some of Mir Bryan's best friends in Washington deplore the fact that the distinguished Nebraskan did not profit by the example of Secretary Taft and instruct his advisers not to cOutest the instructions for Johnson in the Minnesota convention. Experience has demonstrated that nothing which Mir Taft and his friends have done so completely served to take the wind out of Governor Hughess sails as .his letter to Representative Parsons in which Mir Taft begged that his numerous friends" in New York would not oppose an instructed Hughes delegation from that state. Everyone loves a fight and no one more than the average American. The fight which MT Foraker was mak- ing on Taft in Ohio made Taft famous throughout the country and his final victory thrice valuable as a political asset Perceiving that were he to fight Hughes in New York. the result might be equally valuable to Hughes. Taft withdrew and left Hughes fight ing the air. The success of Mr Johnson in Minnesota. according 10 certain shrewd democratic politicians. was almost equally certain. and hqd Mir Byran withdrawn and merely said that it was quite proper that Ninne- sota should give d complimentary vote to her own governor and he would not oppose 1t. the Johnson victory in his own state could not now be heralded broadcast throughout tEe country as a great victory over Bryan.

To the mothers of young graduates the commencement time is success sion of thrills of pride and vague heart-burnings, for she knows that hereafter the family circle will be broken, says one writer. The boy must go away off to some great bus mess center, and will come back only once or twice year on his annual va cation. In time she becomes recon- ciled to it, but it makes great change in the cherished order of things, and she dreads it. And yet she would not have it otherwise, any more than she would wish her daugh- ter to remain unmarried and at home. To the graduate himself, the world stretches out before him in a long and uncertain perspective. What lies ahead in the mists he doesn't know, but with the joyousness of youth he dashes in, full of hope and ambition, to find what the future holds for him. He knows that because others have failed is no reason why he will fail, and that the great sue cessful men of to-day will pass away. and that the great successful men of tomorrow will be chosen from the ranks which he now is in.

HEARD IN PASSING.

That the hard times are not af- fecting those who have the most money is shown by the heavily lad. en steamers now daily departing for the old world. A man may give up his private yacht and sell $10,- 900 automobile for 60 cents, but he won't give up that annual trip abroad.-Bridgeport Post.
 Uncle Horace Johnson, the Mid die Haddam weather prophet, is S4 years old, but he bids fair to round out century and the people of Con- necticut certainly hope that he will be spared for long time. Without Uncle Horace to give advance in formation on the weather a great many persons would miss something important.-New London Day.
 Sweden and Denmark are nego- tiating an arbitration treaty, but why not try an arbitration union of all the nations, like the postal union of all the nations, like the postal union that secures equal postal rights and facilities to all the mem bers? It would be practicable and do away with the need of separate treaties among all the individual nations.-Bridgeport Post.
 Mrs Hetty Green, Americas rich est woman, takes no notice of black hand letters. When wealthy people ignore them, poor people should not worry if one comes their way once in q while; but the fact that some of them seem to be sent as joke shows what a poor idea some people have of the funny side of life and how ignorant they are of the fact that their fun may land them in prison.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 The Merry Widow" hat is at the bottom of more trouble and unless it is settled the hats have either to be made smaller, the express con- panies to decrease their cost of transportation or the millinery job bers of St Paul, Minn, must go out of business. The jobbers say the women will not stand for a reduc- tion in the size of the hats and the only likely solution of the problem at present is to have the hats trans ported in crates and by freight, with a limit of three to car.
 The presidents eulogT of Secre- tary Root, in his speech the other day, left the country :n no doubt that the late Secretary Hay is no longer ''the greatest ever" Mir HayI in his time was lavishl:' praised as the greatest of diploInatists and sec retaries, but MT Roosevelt now em- phatically affirms: ''I believe that history will say that, though we have had other great secretaries of state-and l wish you to remember that l am accustomed to speaking with historical accuracy-we have | had none greater than Elihu Root Springfield Republican.
 This business of flying through the air is going to give the tailors some new problems to work out, '" said a dealer in mems clothes. "A number of persons have come here lately for information in regard to the proper togs for an aeronaut to wear. So far we haven't given much thought to a distinctive aerial costume, but it will soon be time to decide upon something. Cyclists had their appropriate costume, au- toists have theirs, and now that fiy- ing is about to become a popular sport real and prospective aeronauts are demanding that proper atten- tion be given to their attire.

THE BUSY HOTEL RUNNER.
At His Best on the Boats That Ply
 St. Lawrence River.

The Amalgamated Union of i Tourist Persuaders, otherwise and also unofficially known as the Grand Order of Hotel Runners, will resume active operations in few days on the St Lawrence River. The hotel runner exists all over the world, but his peculiar habitat is in the vicinity of Montreal.
 Every hotel of consequence in Montreal maintains two or more ho;el runners in the tourists season. One band of these peace disturbers haunts the boats coming from Quebec, another seeks its prey on the boats from Toronto and the Thousand Islands, while still others guard the other travelled ways in;o the city.
 Hotel running has got to be pro- fession in the principal city across the northern border. The job re- quires smooth address, a persuasive tongue and adaptability to persons and circumstances.
 Suppose you are enjoying a trip down the river from the Thousand Islands. You are having and after dinner cigar on deck and taking in the scenery at your leisure, when we'll dressed stranger next to you engages you in conversation.
 Maybe you are in the mood to talk and welcome the intrusion You find he is we'll informed on the things to be seen along the river and is just as willing 10 talk on any other subject. It may we'll be that you adjourn to the bar.
 There is nothing ragged in his work. He will learn quite easily and naturally that you are going to stop in Montreal, and how long a might expect that he would then spring an argument on you in favor of some particular hotel. but he won't. As he starts to leave you he will say something about like this:
 Well. I'll see you tonight, sup pose. Of course you stop at the Blank"
 Now it may be that you do stop at the Blank. and tell him so. If so his work is done. But if yoI nanfa another hotel or seem in doubt as to where you are going he will up and at you.
 All very kindly done. of course, but you are persuaded very soon that the Blank is the only place there is. He will offer to look af- ter your baggage and attend to any other little matters.
 When he has landed you he passes on to another traveller. and another member Of the Hotel Run neTs society tackles you. If you have already decided he will let you alone. but if you haven you are in for another period of persuasion. The best thing 10 do is to decide definitely early in the game: If you don't you will have no peace until the boat has passed through the last of the rapids and docked.
 But these hotel runners stick 10 their promises. They will help you through the customs lines. get a car Tisge for you. arrange for rooms at the hotel. and fl you like. help you to do the town in the evening. And the next day they take an early train ID the river and .meet the next bozt-
