QAc
Aeu Iih


"Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia Z. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound?"
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her %neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 80 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one Just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's expert
ence with Lydia L. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston, Texas-"W When 1 first began taking Lydia f. Pink
sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and IL liver trouble. 1 had tried several doctors medicines, but
nothing did me any good.
"FOr three years 1 lived OH medicines and thought 1 would
never get well, when 1 read an adv ertismcnt Of Lydia L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it.
"My husband got me me bottle of the Compound, and it did
me s. much good l continued its use. / am now u well woman
and enjoy the best of health.
~ advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
Lydia IT, rinhham's Vegetable Compound IL trial. They won't
regret it, for it will surely cure you."-Mrs. Bessie l.. Hicks,
$40 Cleveland St.. Houston.
Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.

WOULD CURB MARRIAGE.

In an address on marriage and di-
vorce in the light of rationalism be-
fore the Independent Religious Sosi-
ETY. in Chicago last Sunday NJ. III. Man
gasarian declared that it was better
TO prevent the birth OF criminals than
to hang them, and that the proven
ton of disease through the prohibl-
ton of the marriage OF the diseased
and the mentally deformed was more
humane and economical than the
building of hospitals The speaker
said that a readjustment of the insti-
tuition of marriage is taking place and
the increase in the number of divorces
is due partly to this process. He also
declared that at tie present time mar
riage is often a hypocrirical partner
ship, but that the truth of this charge
would no more count against the in
stitution itself than the unhealthy
condition OF many OF our dwellings
would justify a return TO the state OF
the homeless savage, who slept in the
1pen or crawled into hole in the
ground. Further along in his address
Mr.. Mangasarian said
divorce is certainly an evil. The
Judges in our courts should come in
for a share of the blame for the di-
vorce evil. They seem 10 be too
ready TO grant divorces and are toe
much pressed for time to make
/ thorough investigation of each case
I that comes up before them.
A corps of able judges with sym
pathetic penetration into human M
/ ture could do great deal 10 curl
this menace to the stability of the
( home. A great deal depends upon the
moral tone Of our courts and the cali
( Der OF our judges. They are more i'm
..ortant than our preachers.
But disastrous as is divorce, an in
finiteIy worse thing Is a loveless home
made perpetual by compulsion. The
I homes that are worth preserving pre-
serve themselves Those that are pre
served By the arm of the Law are no
homes al all Private and publ,
morals cannot be improved by com
pulsory measures. There are a grea
many things worse than divorce 9
Inc speaker acclaimed against tn
mock modesty leayened with mnc
hypocrisy which is often at the roo
of neglect of the sex question. INT
/ recently courageous discussion Of thi
subject has been tabooed by publ

Up to date more than 1000 persons
have united with the churches In
Cedar Rapids as a direct result OF
the Sunday meetings there. Within
the next month or two it is expected
that fully 1000 additional will be
added to the city's church enroll

have also had a marked effect on
church membership in the surrounding
country, hundreds OF people having
united with the various churches

TANKS ON TRAINS.

Under new law in this state rail
way conductors are empowered and
required to eject drunken passengers
from their trains. A like statute went
into effect in Massachusetts recently
and the railroad commission of that
state is now wrestling with the prob
lem of just what are the rights of a
drunken man on a public conveyance.
The question has been put up TO the
board by transit company that as
had more than its share Of troubles
and suits over elected tanks. The
Boston Post has word of sympathy
for the overburdened wayfarer irving
TO reach home and bed.
I'VE all know him, to our sorrow.
but still he is human Can he be
thrown off ike a mail bag. or must
he be reasoned with and induced to
tarry by the wayside2 Does he lose
his rights as passenger toward a com.
mon carrier because his skin is filed
with alcoholic refreshment? And
where is the point at which he IS in
toxicated?r
1t is not unlikely that our Iowa
railroad commission viii be asked
some time to solve the same knotts
problem

Theoretically, the place for economy

have TO toe the mark now and obey
the law requiring 500 annual fee.
and providing further that all pack

State Food and Dairy Commissioner
H. r. Wright is sending out circular
letter to dealers telling them fees are

goods now on hand in stores must be
