LYDIA e. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
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 OH 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 the
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 E. 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 am willing
to make my troubles public.
tsFor twelve years had been suffer.
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
aoO I vvrAfe Mrs Pinkham for advice
1 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.

An Uncertain Compliment.

An uncertain Compliment.
James ]. Hill, the railway magnate,
on a recent visit to Kansas City, said
of certain rise in stock quotations:
1T looks well. but I am afraid it is
dubious. Yes, it is dubious. It re-
minds me of the Turkish bashaw and
his WIFE.
IA Turkish bashaw lay dying. He
summoned to him the youngest and
fairest Of his forty-six wives, and said
to her In a low, weak voice:
"'Put on your richest costume, your
most brilliant jewels. Deck your hair
with pearls, brighten your finger TIPS
with henna.'
THE young wife blushed. Even in
her grief she was flattered.
"'And why, my lori,' she said, do
you desire me to make this sumptu-
Gus toilet?'

beautiful, may perhaps carry you of

LABOR TURNS TO TAFT.
Toilers Scent Danger In the FaIIacies
of Mr.. Bryan.

Toilers Scent Danger In the Fallacies
of Mr.. Bryan.
Convincing evidence was furnished
by the conference at Cincinnati last
week by Judge Taft with Oscar
Straus, secretary of commerce and la
Dor, and T. V. POwderly. formerly
general master workman of the
knights of Labor, that the attitude Of
labor is growing each day more friend
ly to Taft. The campaign of education
which the Republicans have been car
| rying on has been effective, and the
labOring man, so Mr.. POwderly told
the candidate, is beginning to appre-
ciate the fact that a restoration of
business confidence through the cleo
tioa of Mr.. Taft means more work and
| prosperous times for him.
Secretary Straus announces his in
tentiOn to go out on the stump for the
specific purpose of exposing some of
the Bryan fallacies in regard to labor.
SAID Mr.. Straus: THE most dangerous
of these fallacies is presented in
Bryan's slogan. Shall the people rule?'
|
of his leading doctrines is denial of
that rule"
Mr.. Straus classes Mr.. Bryan's gov
ernment guarantee of bank deposits as
next in point of danger to his plan for
the government ownership of railroads
Mr. Straus believes this guarantee
proposition is as great menace as the

as a matter of fact. large part of thC

things after his talk with Taft: ia

Smyrna has surely no dearth of
candidates in the campaign being
waged and a pleasing fact is that
they are all clean and representative
men. The voter therefore can find
no fault with the personnel of the
respective tickets so far as Smyrna
is concerned. A. E. Jardine the
Republican candidate for Legislature
for Duck Creek Hundred, is
secretary and treasurer of the Smyrna
Transportation & Mfg. Co., a
representative citizen and if elected
would make an able representative.
His opponent on the Democratic
ticket is Hervey P. Hall for years
the senior member of the firm of Hall
& Megear one of Smyrna's represen-
tative firms. Mr.. Hall is now
associated with the Hoffecker
Brothers in the canning business and
is recognized as a hustling business
man. He is director of the Fruit
Growers National Bank and stands
high in his party. For Levy Court
the Republicans have renominated
John P. Hudson. The latter is one
of Smyrna's best known retired busi-
ness men and has made one of the
best Levy Court Commissioners Duck
Creek Hundred has ever had He
has done more to advance the
interests of good roads than any
commissioner sent from this district
in many years. The Democrats have
named James T. Truax a represen.
tative farmer near Smyrna for theil
candidate for Levy Court. The can
didates for assessors and inspectors
are all good men on both tickets.
In addition to the district candi
dates above named, Smyrna has on
of its townsmen on the Democrati
State Ticket in the person of William
B. Megear. The latter for years ha
been the junior member of the frr
