THE COME AND SEE SIGN

This sign is permanently attached
to the front of the main building of
the Lydia Z. 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 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 a person as
Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any
Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick
woman are asked to write?
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 correspondents?
Come and See.
Have they proof that Lydia E..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women?
Come and See. 9
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.

PEOPLES PARTY IN
NATL CONVENTION
Important Political Events
of Coming Week.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 28-
(SpeciaD -One of the most important
political events of the coming week
will be the national convention of the
Peoples party, to be held in st. Louis
on Thursday. While the Populists are
less numerous than a decade ago, and
Will play small part in the campaign,
considerable interest in manifested in
the selection of a presidential candi-
date to lead the scattered remnants of
the party to defeat. Thomas Watson
OF Georgia, will probably be accorded
this honor, although there is some
talk of nominating Senator Robert La
Toilette of Wisconsin. Rumors Of a
coalition between the Populists and
Hearts Independence League have
been rife of late, but are apparently
without foundation
The most important Republican con-
vention of the coming week will be
that of Indiana, to be held in Indian
apolis on Wednesday and Thursday.
The convention will assemble on We'd
nesday afternoon, and select four dele
gates at large to the national conven-
ton. These delegates will be instruct
ed to support the presidential aspira-
tons of Vice-President Fairbanks. All
thirteen districts of Indiana have al
ready been instructed for Fairbanks.
On Thursday the convention will nomi-
nate candidates for governor and other
State Offices
The political warfare will have it's
inception in New York State on Tues
day, when all parties will hold pri-
maries. Delegates will be elected to
the assembly district conventions The
latter will choose delegates to the
State conventions, which in turn will
choose delegations to the national con
ventiOns. Principal interest attaches
to New York City, where the Republi-
can factions headed by Herbert Par
sons and Ex-Governor Odeu are en-
gagged in struggle for control of the
primaries. Tammany will control the
Democratic primaries in the metropo-
lis. Hearts independence League
will also hold primaries on the same
date.

COTTON RENEWED
ITS WEAKNESS
Better Grades SaIeabIe.
But Not Offering.

Old crop months in the cotton mar
ket yesterday renewed their weakness
which had been halted on the previous
day, and net losses of to Is points
were recorded. October lost 4 points
at New Orleans, but was unchanged
at New York. The session was a dull
one. The opening was to 10 points
off, with the early tendency to sell
lower. Prices rallied, but worked
lower again in the late session.
New York opened 6 to 10 points
lower, old months easing off soon
after. May and July closed at a
difference of only 1 point, having
opened points apart October i'm
proved as the day progressed and
recovered all of the initial loss. The
close was unchanged for that month
to 10 points lower for May. Spots
were marked down 10 ppoints. New
Orleans opened to 10 points lower,
and after a brief hesitation started
upward. The close was at the lowest
for May and July, which were 70
points below the last for the day be-
fore. October was points lower.
Spot quotations were reduced 1-8c.
Liverpool opened to 5 points
down, which was as due. A little i'm
provement was noticeable at the
early afternoon call, but later the
distant positions eased off, leaving
the close steady, to points below
the last figures for Thursday. Spots
were 4 points lower, the sales being
1000 bales.
No tranactions were reported To-
cally, no cotton, except in the poorer
grades being offered. Some inquiry
was in evidence on a basis slightly
lower than quoted values, but no
supplies could be secured. Quotations
are unchanged from the day before.
