LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and 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 on our Western Plains today 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 effica- 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 515 NC. St., Louisiana, Mo-. writes:
 COmpleIo IeStOrdtlOu uO uedltu means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women am willing to make my troubles public.
 "For twelve years 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 suffered, and at times could hardly walk. About two years rr~ I ~vrOfo Mrc p;nlybarr, for advice I followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- 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.

Fisheries to straighten the lines OF tho
Baylor survey, thereby releasing about
5000 acres. which land can be leased
under the direction of the State Board
of Fisheries. In addition the State
Board of Fisheries Is required to re-
port at the next session of the Legis-
lature on the relative productivity Of
the lands left within the survey.
SO the effect of Senate bill 491 will
be to accomplish practically all that
was aimed Mt by the Byrd Wicliham
bill besides releasing at once 5000
acres for cultivation of seed oysters.
This is beginning that has in ittthc
prospect of ultimately putting the
oyster industry on a permanent basis.
And while the bill goes only very
little way 1t is the, best and only
practical measure before the Legis-
lature, and as such it ought to be-
come law with as littleg delay rs pos

{, MESSAGE TO THE SENATE.

Tn 1901 the Virginia Conference of
Charities and Corrections. purely
.philantiropic organization, reached the
conclusion that Virginia stood in need
of State board whose duty 1t should
be to exercise advisory supervision over
the prisons and almshouses of the Com
monwealth, and The Times Dispatch
and other newspapers have urged the
General Assembly TO adopt the recon-
mendation. Why? Because there Is
abundant reason to believe that many
OF the jails are filthy unsanitary,
almost unnhabitable, and that abuses
exist within their walls that are dis
graceful to civilization. 1t is also
believed that some of the almshouses-
''poorhouses' they are aptly called
are almost as bad as the jails, and that
the unfortunate inmates are subjected
to needless hardships.
1t is probably true that these condi-
tons are due to careless neglect, rather
than 10 any evil intent on the part of
4he keepers, and 1t is believed that a
state Board of Charities, with local
boards in the several counties such as
House bill No. 90 provides for, would
by inspection arFl suggestion greatly
improve the situation. These boards
would have no administrative powers,
but only the right Of inspection and the
privilege to advise and recommend. and
report to tho authorities of govern
msat when necessary. The members
would receive no pay whatsoever for
their services; their labors would be
purely in the interest of humanity and
good government Such q board would
carry with it a dignity and Influence
which could not possibly attach to a
paid commissioner and the prime OBJ
ject of the measure is reformatory, not
inquisitorial and punitive. There is
a fundamental difference between a
committee of investigation and hired
detective All honest jailers and aims
house keepers would welcome visit
from committee whose object was to
aid them in improving their work,
while they would resent the prying of
q paid examiner.
The Montague bill, which has passed
the House, is in line with the system
that has been tried and proven in-other
States, and it should by all means be
passed by the Senate. The commission
er plan is purely experimental and
would probably prove to be a failure.
This is a subject that the Legislature
cannot afford to experiment with Give
us the measure that has proven itself
to be efficient.
