Peavy, Ala.-'I had been troubled a
little for about years." writes Mrs.
Ludie Fincher, of this place, but was
not taken down, until March, 1907,
when went to bed and had to have
the doctor.
He did all he could for me, but /
got no better. l hurt all over, even to
my arms, so badly could not rest. l
had pains in my sides. back, bowels.
shoulders, and chest. / can't tell how
I did suffer.
AT last began to take Cardui, and
I hadn't taken but half bottle, until
began to improve.
Il continued to take it, until I had
taken four bottles, and now l am in
very good health and able to do all my
homework"
You may wonder why this medicine
Is SO successful in curing sick women,
after other medicines have failed. The
answer is not far to seek.
Carduri is successful, because 1t Is
composed of ingredients that act spe-
eifically on the womanly constitution.
It Is not a cure-all. 1t Is a medicine
for women and only for women.
Its success is due to its merits.

Dehcately formed and gently reared, women
will find, in all the seasons of their lives as
maidens, wives or mothers, that the one simple
wholesome remedy which acts gently and
pleasantly and naturally, and which NAV be
used with truly beneficial effects, under any
conditions when the system needs laxative,
is@Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA. It is
well known to be simple combination of the
laxative and carminative principles of plants
with pleasant aromatic liquids, which are
agreeable and refreshing to the taste and
acceptable to the system when its gentle
cleansing is desired.
Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA can hope to get its
beneficial effects, and as guarantee of the
excellence of the remedy the full name of the
company California Fig Syrup Co.'s printed
on the front of every package, and without it
any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA is fraudulent and should be
declined. To those who know the quality of
this excellent laxative, the offer of any substi-
tute, when Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA
is called for, is always resented by transfer
of patronage to some first-class drug establish
ment, where they do not recommend, nor sell
false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genu-

The opposition to the admis-
sion as States of the Territories
of Arizona and New Mexico, made
apparent the powerful coalition
of New England Senators, who
have for MANY years practically
controlled legislation in the up
per House of the National legis-
lature, against any increase of
the representation of the far West
in the Senate. Such increase
threatens to disturb the balance
of power. 1t is destructive of the
sense of security and strength
which these ancient and proud
lawmakers have rejoiced in.
Therefore it was decreed that the
young giants out on the border
land ofcivilization-as the ''effete
East is pleased to regard it,
should stand at the closed door
and wait with patience until they
could force itwideenough so that
they could enter and join the

1T has become more evident,
in the last two weeks, that in
dustry is slackening and that a
period of economic adjustment
is at hand, even if there were no
political interferences just now.
The high cost of living ofthelast
four years, and especially OF the
last year, has produced economic
results that can no longer be ig-
nored industrially. Anindustrial
evolution is under way and is up
setting the calculations of Wall
Street, as we believe. We have
far too many middlemen-small
merchants and dealers. These
are being eliminated with friction
and great individual hardship.
These men, in the past, have in
vested their savings in securities.
They are not only ceasing to in
vest, but they are selling much
that they have held"
This is from a market letter by
a New York brokerage firm. 1t
serves to emphasize what many
Others have already said,-that
the middlemen take too much of
the profit of production. There
must come, in time, a closer bust
ness relation between the pro-
ducer and the ultimate consumer.
The disparity between thecos OF
production and the retail selling
price is too wide.

The final briefs in the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigation were filed
by the attorneys for the ''prose-
cution" and defense" on June
13. The briefs prepared by the
attorneys for Mr.. Pinchot and
for Mr.. CLAWS sum up the evil
dence and ask: SIS Mr.. Ballinger
a. man SO single minded, enlight-
ened, and courageous, so zeal
ously devoted to the interests of
the common people, so vigilant
and resolute in resisting the in
sidious expressions of the special
interests, that to him may be in
trusted the carrying forward of
the broad policy of conservation
of our national resources?" They
sum up the Secretary's defense as
simply pleading ofignorance of
the situation in Alaska, and a
laying of the responsibility for
the acts for which he has been
criticized upon subordinates.
The conclusion reached by the
lawyers for CLAWS and Pinchot
after a study of the evidence is
that Mr. Ballinger is not a man
fit TO be trusted with the care
and guardianship of public pro-
perty.
Mr.. Vertrees, attorney for Bal
linger, also reviews the evidence,
charges conspiracy, and char
acterizes the accusations made
against his principal as "baseIess
and groundless. "-LaFollette's.

The Postoffice Department has
met with great embarrassment in
certain localities where labor has
been scarce and wages high owing
to land rushes, mining excitement
or other causes, because of it's in
ability to secure assistance in
handling the mails at prices with
in the limits of the appropria-
tions. The committee on post
Offices and post-roads has APP
proved a bill authorizing the
postmaster general to meet such
conditions by paying higher com
pensation to clerks and carriers
when unusual local conditions
make it necessary. There is a
fund of 1925, 900 out of which
such payments may be met. The
necessity Of some such authoriz-
alton as the one asked for is evil
denced by the experience of the
Department at Goldfeld, New,
when it was necessary for a time
to pay clerks $500 a day; at
Butte, Mont, where the pay was
thirty cents an hour; at Fair
banks, Alaska, where the salary
allowed by law was 5000 a year
and the lowest salary at which a
clerk could be had was $4,000.
