The most successful remedy in this
country for the cure of all forms of
female complaints is Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
stood the test of years and to-day is
more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy, 1t has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacements, inflam-
nation, liberation, tibroid tumors, ir-
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing-down feeling, fiatulency,
Indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are suffering from any of these
ailments, don't give up hope until you
have given Lydia +. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound trial.
If you would like special advice
write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn,
Mass, for it. She has guided
thousands to health, free of

Henry Clay delivered an eloquent
address from the steps Of the building
to an immense crowd. There Col.
Jefferson Davis. returning from Mex

he delivered his last speech amid wild

THE LIVING BEFORE THE DEAD
Poetic Language Delivered
from the Bench.

One might say that John DriscolIs
ears burned while Judge Marean read
his decision in court the other day,
except that such statement might
be open to misconstruction. For John
has been dead for two years. Just the
same, whatever may be the feelings
of the deceased about the matter,
Judge Mareans common sense ought
to come in for a bit of reward.
Driscoll left his estate of a few
thousand dollars to the church he at
tended at Far Rockaway on condition,
literally, that his grave be kept green.
In his will he commented with a GER
tain austerity upon the common prac-
tice of neglecting the green tents be-
meath which the greater part of man
kinds army is bivouacked, and de-
vised his thousands with an eye to
making John Driscolrs grave a thing
of beauty to the end of time.
But John Driscoll had some collat-
eral relatives. poor and ill-clad and
on the verge of starvation. Maybe
they never did anything for John Dris-
coll during his life. Maybe John Dris-
coll even hated them But neverthe-
less they are i'll and in need, and that
money John Driscoll gave to the grave
might keep them in comfort for their
few remaining years. No hint through
the documents as to their previous re-
lation to John Driscou.
But Judge Marean held that 1t is
bettsr that the hungry be fed and the
ill-clad be clothed and the fatherless
be comforted than that a mound of
earth be lowered and gardened. The
revolving seasons may well care for
John, Driscolls grave. The winter
may cover it with a glittering mantle
and the spring adorn it with budding
flowers, and the summer weave above
it thick green coyerlid, which in its
turn the fall may grant russet hue.
Let the law be as merciful to the liv-
ing as God is to the dead. ."-Cincin-

The XVI Amendment.

The United States Senate has pass
ed resolution to submit an amend
ment to the National Constitution that
will enable them to levy and collect
an income tax, which the Supreme
Court of the United States declared
unconstitutional some years ago. If
the house approves, and it probably
will, the measure will then be sub
mitted to the various state legisla-
lures, and if it is adopted by three
fourths of the states il then becomes
part of the supreme law of the land.
1t has been nearly or quite forty years
since the old constitution was amend
ed, and some of us felt when the 18th
and 18th amendments were adopted,
like our forefathers would have done
well if they had fixed so it could new
er be amended. There will be COM
paratively few of us, however, who
will object to an income tax on per-
sonal grounds. In fact most of us
would willingly pay the tax if some
body would supply the income.

Bates Co. Normal Club.
Special to TUE TiNRs,

1PVoihi w NM LINES
The Bates county people held their
weekly meeting in Room Sixteen Of
the Normal Building last Friday even
my. Twenty-six members answered
to roll call. Two more names were
enrolled, making a total membership
of forty-nine.
The program committee reported a
"Round-table Talk" for next meeting
to be led by Prof. p. q. Buckles,
The subject will be "The First Day of
School, The many problems which
confront the teacher at the beginning
of the term, will be discussed.
The following resolution was pro-
posed and adopted: BE it resolved,
that this body extend to the ladies' of
the Bates County Normal Club, its
grateful appreciation for the lunch,
which they furnished its members at
Pertle Springs on last Friday, July 2,
l9O9."
After the business meeting short
literary program was rendered. Miss
Florence Bates favored the Club"
with recitation, which was very
much enjoyed by all.
Mr.. Lyle, Of st. Louis, represent
ing Heath & Co., of Chicago, made
an interesting short talk. He EN-
phaSized the fact that we must help
each other and commended the spirit,
which prompted the organization OF
OUR CLUB. By way of encourage
ment he mentioned the fact that STRAIT
ton d. Brooks, now superintendent
of the schools of Boston, Mass, is a
native of Bates county. This was
certainly very interesting bit of
news to all, and reminds us of the
possibilities in store for others.

Who Are Constituents"

Mr.. Dooley ought to write play on
"Our Constituents" He would find
plenty of material in the speeches
which have been made in Washing.
ton in favor of protection. The re-
publican leaders say that the policy OF
protection" must be preserved but
who is protected?
The manufacturers insist upon pro-
lection but they are a small per cent
of any community. A senator can
secure protection for a few manufac-
turers in his state, but what about the
rest of his constituents? They have
to pay the tax.
Some of the democrats voted for a
tariff on lumber-that will help Mr..
Weyerhaueser and a few timber own
ers-but what about the people who
pay the tax? care they not constitu-
ents also?
What percentage of the constitu-
ents in any district own iron ore?
What percentage of the constitu-
ents in any district raise wool or prof
it by the duty on hides?
Is it not about time that somebody
represented that large maiority-the
constituents who get no benefit out
of protection, but bear the burden of
all tariff taxes?
And is it not about time that these
constituents looked around for repre-
sentatives who will not forget them?
ALL the voters are constituents, but
most of them are UNREPRESENT-
ED and they will remain UNREP-
RESENTED until they make it their
business to select senators and men,

trolled by the FEW constituents who

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucuous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
