A trial package Of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on TO
quest. Address Professor Munyon. SD 4
Jefferson Sts.. Philadelphia, Pa. II you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence.
and your case will be diagnosed a. care
fully a. though you had = personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe. they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions Of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
rorrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned. caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
silment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
1 had my way / would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel. no
dope; they are soothing. healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without phyGc.

Handed EN- A Lemon.

The fruit growers of California think
the railroads are charging them too much
on the transportation of lemons After
the passage of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill, which raised the tariff OIL lemons.
the railroads increased freight rates to
absorb the profits which the lemon grow
ers thought belonged TO them. The
lemon growers, forwith, went into the
federal district court for relief And,
strange as it may seem, the district court
gave them the relief sought and ordered
the railroads to reduce freight rates. The
railroads had one more guess coming and
took the case TO the court of appeals and
the court of appeals set aside The action
of the lower court on the ground that the
lower court did not have jurisdiction
Sure, that's what the higher courts are
for. Ifthe lower court had held that the
railroads had right to make the in
crease. then the higher court would not
have raised the question of jurisdiction,
but would have sustained the action of
the lower tribunal It's a great game in
which the under dog always gets licked
This decision will be q sal blow 10 the
fruit growers of not only California hut
roughout the entire west This decision
of the court places them at the mercy OF
the highwaymeu who control the
railroads.

John Wanamaker, Philadelphia's veter-
an merchant prince, was rendered lunch
con in New York last week in honor of
his golden jubilee as one of the country's
leading merchants. Mr.. w uamaker
seized upon the occasion as appropriate
for urging the merchants to a realization
of their power to set in motion force,
by joining hands in practical way, to
bring about a downward revision of
tariff, compel the adoption of real
parcels post, reduction in telephone and
telegraphic rates, and in the other ways
exert their influence to bring about
business reforms that would tend to cut
down the high cost of living to a reason
able basis When one considers the vot-
ing power of the thousands of mechants,
if combined, the practicability of Mr..
Wanamaker's suggestions can be APP
preciated.

Women To The Front.

The adoption of woman suffrage in
California is likely to disturb the balance
Of power throughout the entire United
States. There are now six states in the
union in which equal suffrage prevails.
This provision has added, to the vote
men cast, votes by women as follows:
California, soc. 1000; Colorado. 100, 900;
Idaho, $4,000; Utah, $4,000; Washington,
10000; Wyoming, $4,000; total 92S,o
This vote of nearly 200, 900 makes the
result in the presidential election very
uncertain. 1t is seldom that any presi-
dent receives plurality as great as this.
If the women should unite on one candi,
date there would be such tremendous
political change as would amount practi-
cally to revolution.
Although the Socialist party is the only
one in the United States that has persist
emily from the first declared for equal suf.
frage for WON en-, suffrage is coming BY
leaps and bounds There are now only
nineteen states in the union which have
no form Of suffrage Tor women. although
some cities in SOME of these states have
that suffrage.
Kentucky was The first state in the
country to give women limited suffrage;
that was il 1886 Now all the states in

souri,, Arkansas, Mississippi, Indiana,

The American Good Roads Congress
held its first sessions in Richmond, Va,
this week About 900 delegates, who are
enthusiastic and earnest workers for good
roads, were presen. from all parts of the
country. The ke, note of the discussions
was the benefit of good roads to the
farmer, one of the speakers declaring the
propaganda was part of the back to
the farm movement, and that its de-
velopment was of common value to all
communities.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in his
address showed the relation of good
roads to the cost of living, and how
the value of farm land ana extent and
character of production thereon are in
Huence by the condition of public roads.
Federal aid was favored and thorough
campaign of education urged by the Con
gress to be conducted in every locality
where the burden of bad roads hangs
like milestone about the necks of the
people.

The contesting of the election Of
Philips Lee Goldsborough. republican,
for Governor, is talked of by friends of
the defeated democratic candidate in
Baltimore.
The contention of some of Mr.. Cor
mans champions is that the supervisors
of elections did not have the legal right
to put the name of William H. Bruno on
the ballot as ''Progressiv. Democratic
candidate for Judge of the Orphans
Court OF Baltimore. Three Judges were
to be voted for and the appearance Of
Bruno on the ticket as a Progressive
Democrat making four candidates, is
said to have led nearly 400 Democrats tc
vote for him along with the others, under
the impression that he was regular
nominee, and their voting in this manner
invalidated the entire ticket. Mr..
Goldsborough's plurality. unofficial in
the entire State was 2e64.
If the ballots are recounted and il is
found that enough tickets marked for
Senator German to elect him, but over
marked for the Judges were rejected, the
information will be furnished to the next
House of Delegates, which will be Demo-
cratic, and a contest instituted.

Will Resist Recount OF Vote In
Baltimore.

William H. Anderson. superintendent
of the Anti Salooh League of Maryland
announces the League will resist in every
legitimately effective way any attempt on
the part of the Baltimore city gang to
count out the Republican members of the
Legislature elected on the local option
issue i'll Baltimore city. :
"The league believes that while mask ed
under the plea of partisan interest, this
whole proposition is'a liquor project pure
and simple in desperate effort to rob the
temperance people of the victory which
they have actually won.
1.-THE fact that these Repu licans who
declared for local option were elected at
all in overwhelmingly Democratic dis
tricts and that no Republicans were cleo
ted in those districts who had not de
clared for the bill indicates that even the
people of Baltimore want local option.
One reason they want it is for the pur-
pose of driving the saloon out of politics
and weakening the city gang by taking
away its present life and death power
over the liquor traffic
The league wishes to get the local
option question out of politics. We prove
it by accepting answers to our questions
and remaining neutral in the Governor
ship fight. But the bad record of the
gang pulled the Democratic candidate
for Governor down to defeat anyhow.
We do not believe that any intelligent
Democrat desires on the eve of national
election to aggravate the party's present
local option record by adding fraud to
still further queer it with that indepen-
dent element which has moral con-
victions.
"The sooner the State Democracy, by
passing the Local Option bill, advertises
that the discredited city gang and the
liquor interests are no longer in control
of the party in the State, the sooner il
will have fair chance to regain the
State"
