In very able article on "cvl and Religious
Liberty" printed in Government Judge Han
ma asks: "Does Christian Science come within
tho protection of our land?" and he quotes
from the treatise of Judge Clifford z. Smith
az Iowa. the veto message of Governor Mickey
of Nebraska Governor Peabody OF Colorado
and Governor Thomas Of Colorado.

fght their way to existence over legal
barriers raised by their professional
brethren who happened to be within
the pale of the law, the suspicion may
be pardonable that there is more at
issue than a consuming zeal for the
public health
Governor Peabody of Colorado
vetoed bill for such an act in 1903 He
referred to the same fact in his veto
message as follows: There is no de-
mand on the part of the public for this
class of legislation, and while 1 have
been urged by many eminent physicians
to approve this bill, others, equally
eminent and quite as numerous, have
urged me to withhold my approval.
Views of Governor
governor Thomas of Colorado vetoed
a. ill for such an act In 1899. In his
veto message he referred to the same
subject as follows: "A decided majority
of the medical profession, including a
large number of personal and political
friends, have urgently requested the
approval of the measure. l am per-
suaded that they earnestly believe 1t to
be essential to the public welfare and
designed to subserve the objects set
forth in it's title. 1t is not without re-
luctance, therefore, that the conclusions
| have reached concerning its merits
make it impossible to comply with their
requests. With every consideration for
their Judgment and their sincerity, I
regard the bill as unjust, oppressive,
and obnoxious to the general welfare.
The title of the bill as it re-
lates to the public is a misnomer This
is a common subterfuge; all measures
designed to promote specific interest
or protect an existing evil are osten-
sibly labeled for the benefit of the
people, The fact that the people do
not seek the protection, ask for the
benefit, nor suspect the existence of the
alleged danger, is wholly immaterial.
It is a legitimate criticism of
this bill that it is the offspring of q
union between the allopathic, homeo
pathic. and eclectic schools of medicine,
into whose custody the health of the
public is to be Internationally deliv-
cred. Each in it's own circle is given
immunity against the other two, but
the condition is that the fusion or triple
alliance must stand as unit against
all others. No one will believe that
this union would have been made had
1t not been essential to the passage of
this bill If the allopath is to be be-
lieved, the homeopath is charlatan
and the eclectic fraud. If the homeo-
path is to be credited he has saved So
ciety from the narrow dogmatism OF
allopathic ignorance; and II the eclec-
tic is heard, he tells US tldl hS hoS
garnered to himself the wisdom of all
the schools and nothing but the huslSs
remains.
Each Likes His Own Best
Neither deems it consistent with
professional ethics to confer or consult
with the others, and each believes MS
own to be the one branch of medical
science worthy of the name. Homeo-
pathy fought it's way to recognition
against the bitter and implacable an
tagonism of the regular school, estab-
lished itself in the face of abuse, ridi-
cule persecution. and invective. It's
disciples suffered all the pains that
hatred. contumely, and authority could
infiict upon 1t. They now unite with

FRIENDLY TIP

| After several years of INDIGESTION

A N. Y. woman writes an Interesting

Zone day a friend asked me why

coffee, and use Postum. I had lost
faith in everything, but to please my
friends I began to use both and soon
became very fond of them.
1T wasn't long before I got some

OPEN DEALING IN PAINT.

Buying paint used to be like tn,
proverbial buying of "pig in .
poke" Mixtures in which chalk
ground rock, etc, predominated were
marked and sold as pure White
Lead" the deception not being ap
parent until the paint and the paint
ing were paid for This deception is
still practiced, but We have learned tc
expose it easily.
National Lead Company, the larg
est makers of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers set
about to make paint buying safe,
They first adopted a trade mark, the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter" and
put this trademark, as a guaranty of
purity, on every package of their
White Lead. They then set about
familiariztng the public with the
blow-pipe test by which the purity
and genuineness of White Lead may
be determined, and furnished a blow
pipe free to every one who would
write them for It. This action was in
itself a guaranty of the purity of Ma.
tional Lead Company's White Lead.
AS the result of this open dealing
the paint buyer today has only him
self to blame If he is defrauded. For

LYDIA e. PINKHHM

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 on 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 tho
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 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 SIS 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 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
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
