Jefferson City, Mo.-The death
Of Representative Ward Of Holt coun.
ty makes two vacancies In the house
which the governor will have to take
steps TO have filled by special cleo.
tons. There Is pending In the legisla.
ture a resolution providing that death
vacancies be filled by appointment OF
the governor, but II Is not believed
the resolution has much chance Of be.
coming a law.
Even II the Republicans had a ma
jOrity OF the membership Of both
houses, II Is be lieved many Of them
would look on this az an e~ncroachmcnt
OF the powers Of the executive on the
Legislative department Of the state
government. Until the vacancies ar
filled, too, II will not be any easy mat
ter for the Republicans to put through
any strictly party measure. They
have just more than an even half Of
the house membership. Were the votes
OF all needed there would likely be
some lively skirmishing to have all
In attendance.

Vegetable Compound.
In almost every community you will find women who
have been restored to health by Lydia E.. Pinkham's Veg
ctablc Compound. Almos: every woman you meet has
either been benefited by it, or knows some one who has.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, arc files con.
tanning over one million one hundred thousand letters from
women seeking health, in which many openly state over
their own signatures that they have rcgaincd their health by
taking Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia T. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound has saved
many women from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is made ex-
clusively from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why it is SO successful is because it contains
ingredients which act directly upon the female organism,
restoring it to healthy and normal activity.
Thousands of unsolicited and genuine testimonials such
as the following prove the efficiency of this simple remedy.
