that, and when friend of my husband
told him about Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound and what it had done
for his wife, was willing to take it.
Now l look the picture of health and feel
like it, too. 1 can do all my own house

what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

Remember, the remedy which did this
was Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
It has helped thousands of women who
have been troubled with displacements,
Inflammation, liberation, tumors, irreg-
ularities, periodic pains, backache, that
bearing down feeling, Indigestion, and
nervous prostration, after all other means
have failed. Why don't you try it?

So Topeka Milk Reached Milwaukee in
Bad Condition

Topeka milk dealers did not cap
ture the prizes at the International
Dairy show in Milwaukee. DR.. c.. F.
Babb, city milk inspector has return
ed from the convention of dai~ymen
and milk inspectors bringing back
with him one medal and the gra des
of the seven Topeka dealers WHO at
tempted to show the international del
egateS that this city had the best sup
ply in the world.
Milk Inspector Babb gives two rea-
sons for the local dealers failing to
win the prizes First, the express
company did not ice the milk on it's
trip to Milwaukee, consequently ii was
full of bacteria when it arrived. Sec
on1, the Topekans were given low
grades because of the flavor and odor
of their milk. This, says DIR. Babb,
was unfair. In the north the cows
are not fed alfalfa like the feeding in
Kansas and alfalfa gives peculiar
flavor and odor to the cows product.
On the other hand Topeka was Civ
en- a world of favorable advertising at
the International show 1t was the
only city of less than 100000 inhabi-
tants with milk inspector in attend
ance.. 1t contributed the best exhibit
on the floor of the convention. Its
inspector was on the program among
inspectors from the larger cities of
the country. And Cornell university
of New York purchased the Topeka ex-
hiDit for use among the college classes
of dairy instruction.
The highest grade among the To-
peka dealers was captured by George
Pugh. He was graded 93.4. Other
grades: Parr & Son, SIS: Fred Mill
err. SIT; J. w. Bigger, S7.3; w. H.
Maxwell, 86.3; Palmer & Son, SAT-; A.
L. Stratton, 82.5.
The first prize was given to a Du-
luth dairyman. His grade was 98.5.
Second prize to a Seattle man at
grade of 9S.4. Third prize to a Mil
waukee dealer who received 1881.

Mayor Billiards. Plan to Divorce City
and County on Tax Collections.

The plan to divorce the city and
county in the matter of tax collections
of city assessments originated by
Mayor Billiard and supported by the
city commissioners, has received IA
vorable support in Topeka The
mayor will arrange with other first
class cities in the state to get together
on the plan and appeal to the legisla-
ture this winter for a change.
The plan was given additional en-
couragement today when the mayor
7 ,ceived a printed notice from Mem
phis. Tenn. to the effect that the plan
had been tried there and was one of
the most valuable sections of the com
mission government.
The plan is to have all city taxes
paid to the city treasurer instead of
the present system of payments to the

and to provide rescue cars for that
purpose; to abolish peonage; for laws
to pay the soldiers of the Civil war
and the Spanish-American war liberal
pensions.
Following this review of progress
sive measures supported by Anthony,
Brewster shows that the First district
congressman has been a loyal and true
friend of the old soldier and at all
times has fought for legislation bene-
ficial to his district. Then Brewster
devotes much space to a review of
Chapman's record wherein he charges
Democratic caucus if elected.
In Topeka today Senator George H
Hodges declared that he is a loyal
supporter of the oregon plan of elect
ing United States senators. He sent
this letter to William Allen White. de-
filming his position on the senatorial
controversy and stating his reasons
for refusing to discuss the question
with his opponent, Arthur Capper:
In reply to your published state
ment in the Kansas City Star of Oc-
tober 81. I will say l was an ardent
supporter of and voted for the Ore
gan plan for the election of United
States senators by a direct vote of
the people as you well know. 1t is a
Democratic platform pledge, and
whether elected governor or not, shall
use my influence to bring about the
election as senator of the man who
receives the popular vote for such Of
flee next Tuesday. 1 have so Little
faith in Mr.. Capper that you will par
don me for declining to enter into any
agreement of whatsoever nature with
him. He has been first for Mr. Taf+
and then for Mr.. Roosevelt. He pre-
tends to be a Republican when with
with Progressives, and throughout the
to all men. He has misquoted and
misrepresented me in his publications
in way that no other man has ever
been misquoted and misrepresented IN
this state.''

EDITORIAL OPINION

is, so that they get real value for the
money expended. No man or woman
ever gained a penny by depriving
their children of the opportunity TO
get a good education, and for that
reason we say from our personal OBJ
servation OF the condition of the pub
lie schools in Delaware, that there is
immediate and urgent need for rural
consolidation Of the country schools
and for the hauling of the children
10 and from the school houses. II IS
necessary because of the advantage
they will have for getting a better
education. for the benefit II Will be to
the children by having graded schools,
for their general health and from the
moral conditions which follow rural
consolidation. and above all this It
will create school advantages which
will keep the boys and girls at their
homes. and will not bring them into
contact with the disadvantages OF
town life. thereby creating an incli-
nation to desert the farm, and further
draw from the already depleted army
of aericulturalists in Delaware. Think
about rural consolidation of the

proach the question, Do not display
the flag Of ignorance, by declaring
that the schools are now better than
those you attended OF course they are
better. you would a. once prove this
bv your opposition, yet that IS no
reason why the children should not
have still better advantages to be
educated under. We hope that the stl-
perintendents OF Kent and SUSSEX
counties will be able to bring about
the condition which superintendent
spaid has just accomplished in New
Castle county in at least one or more
places in each of their counties be-
fore the year closes, II will take
some activity on their part and effect

TIME TO cALL A HALT.

From the Cecil Democrat
On the third page Of this issue Of
the Cecil Democrat will be found
an article in regard 10 steamers com
ing into Maryland waters, during the
Spring fishing season and taking hun
dreds of thousands Of fish to Virginia.
where they are converted into fertil-
izer. These industries are not per-
mitted to exist upon fish taken from
Virginia waters, so the steamers come
into Maryland waters, buy up all
kinds of fish and carry them to vir-
ginia. The United States Fish Com
missioner has called attention to this
practice. and it is about time Mary
land was taking some action to put
an end to it. II would not be so bad
If they took away only herring, but
perch and many other kinds of food
FISH go along with the herring II
Virginia won't allow fish to be taken
from her waters to keep up the exis-
tence of her industry, why should
Maryland tolerate the practice? Steps
should be taken to put an end TO II
before another spring fishing season
arrives.
