This woman says that sick
women should not fail to try
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound as she did.
Mrs. A. Gregory, of 2355 Lawrence
St, Denver, Col, writes to Mrs.
Pinkham:
u was practically an invalid for six
years, on account of female troubles.
I underwent an operation by the
doctors advice, but in few months l
was worse than before. A friend ad-
vised Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and it restored me to perfect
health, such as have not enjoyed in
many years. Any woman suffering as
l did with backache, bearing down
pains, and periodic pains, should not fail
to use Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable

delivery SERVES Of the mails
+ The facts as regards the eEten-
/ ton of service is given here be-
low from the report Of the hrat
assistant postmaster gene + a /.
Prescott gets in on the SIS, 00.00
per annum basis, as Postmaster
Grayson reports that his office
did Sc, 10000 of business during
the year 1907.
This mail delivery will not be
affected by the late resolution OF
the Retail Merchants Associa-
ton.
After June 80, 1908, city de-
livery service may be established
at any postoffice that produced a
gross revenue of not less than
$5, 900 duringsthe four quarters
on which the salary of the post
master is based, and letter car
riers may be employed for that
purpose: :wEProvided, That no de-
/
livery by carrier shall be made
except atTresidence and: offices
where approved mail receptacles
are placed at the door or entrance.
'Letter.carriers at postoffices of
the third class shall be paid at
the rate of $6.OO.0O for thel first
years service and at the rate-of
So. o9.O for the second years
service. -
The enactment of the proposed
law will permit the establish
ment of free delivery service in
over l, 400 towns, although it is
unlikely that during the first
year more than 1000 will COM
ply with the Departments re-
quirments relative to sidewalks,
street lights, street signs, and
house numbers.
The proposed service will be
comparatively inexpensive, as
the average number of carriers
to a town will be only two. 1t
will be economical in comparison
with rural delivery, which costs
annually about So. 80 per capita,
while the eXpence of the city
service averages but 67 cents per
capita, and in many small towns
is under so cents.
Il regard the lease system of
handling the states convicts as
an evil in every way. 1t is a
relic of barbarism. 1t is in con-
fict with the claims of honest la
Dor. Then the idea of hiring
the states convicts out at fifty
cents per day when the state
has to feed, guard, house and
clothe them out of this sum is so
ridiculous that it seems indeed
silly to think of it. This, how
ever, is what the state has been
doing for the past ten years.
This un-business like method is
more apparent to the practical
observer when he sees that for
these same convicts the men
who are hiring them from the
state have only to tell the state
where to send the convicts in
order to make a clear profit for
themselves of from $1.25 to
$1.5C per day on each convict
hired from the state.
Il would be glad to remove
convict labor from any form of
competition with free labor.
The nearest approach we can
make of reaching an end of
this competition is to work all
of the convicts on the public
roads, except a small number
kept on the farm sufficient to
furnish supplies to the convicts
at work on the roads, thereby
making them self-sustaining. =

The Opinions Campaign Fund.

INV SEiIuSN ~ N''N'
For three weeks now, the Rockland
Opinion has kept up its appeal to its
Democratic readers for contributions
to the Bryan campaign fund. During
the first week a 50-cent contribution
was sent in by a woman in the town of
Warren Simply this and nothing
more. During the second weelS there
was a gain of 100 per cent in the total
of the contributions and a whole dollar
was received, not a Bryan dollar as in
the first week, but real 100-cent
dollar. The gain in the total of the
contributions continues in the third
week and the Opinion announces with
no small degree OF pride that the sum
of $500 was received last week. To be
sure, one of these three dollars came
from a man in Connecticut, but the
other two are Knox county products
Warren seems to be the banner town
for not only did the first contribution
indicated above, but this week the
Democratic candidate for representa-
tive in Warren sent along a dollar.
Thus. as a result of its repeated APP
peas for the past three weeks, the
Opinion has received contributions to
the grand total of $3.50. To this the
editor of the Opinion contributes q
dollar weekly out OF his own pocket,
not because he wants to, for as be
candid!y admits, the Lord knows we
need it more than the campaign fund
does but because he thinks it is his
duty as a good Democrat and because
he doesn't want to admit himself
"skunkt" in his crusade for Bryan
cash. Truly it is a sight to excite
compassion, the spectacle of the
Opinion editor sitting cup in hand be-
The results give ample evidence, if
any were needed. to show how hard it
is for the Maine Democrats to swallow
their third dose of Bryanism
But if Bryan money comes hard
down in Knox county, it comes still
harder in the other parts of Maine. In
fact it doesn't come at all in the other
Is counties Thus far the other
Democratic papers of Maine, the
Lewiston Sun, the Portland Argus, the
Biddeford Record, and the organ of
mud and mirth at Waterville have not
even deigned to publish Mr.. Bryan's
appeal for funds. Probably the
Waterville dynasty which owns
the Maine Democracy is waiting
for campaign contribution of $4,000
from Belmont and Ryan, such as it
received in the 1904 campaign, and
when this arrives perhaps they will
contribute a dollar OF it, or at least a
5O-cent dollar, to the Bryan campaign
fund which the ROckland Opinion is
trying so hard to raise in Maine.
