From Foriy-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The "change of life" is most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. AT this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities. constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkhani's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. 1t
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

Of both lines to twenty hours, indicates
a tendency away from the old speed
ideals Of American railway manage
ment 1t is significant that the new
policy is adopted at time when in
improved roadbeds, stronger bridges,
steel equipment and in everything but
tougher rails the roads are in a bet
ter position to run fast trains with
safety than when most of the limiteds
and flyers were instituted.
Most speed records on American
railways in fact, were made under less
secure operating conditions than now
exist. A Lehigh Valley train in 1897
covered A miles at the rate of 80
miles an hour; Burlington train in
1902 ran Is miles at a 9S-mile gait, and
train ON the Plant system in 1901
accomplished the remarkable feat of
running five miles at the rate of 120
miles an hour. AS far back as 1848
the Great Western, of England, ran
train SO miles at speed of 6S miles
an hour.
Seventy miles an hour is the maxi
mum speed allowed on French rail-
ways. 1t is more theory than a con-
dition as respects trains on regular
schedule in any country. The Penn
sylvanias and the Central's Chicago
flyers average under go miles an hour.
The fastest German train, running be-
TWEEN Berlin and Hamburg, maintains
speed of only 55 miles an hour, and
English schedules are but little faster.
Does a public demand exist for 49,
hour and other high speed trains?
Railway managers represent that it
does, and the recent wreck on the Bur-
lington was ascribed by an Illinois
jury to this direct cause. But the COM
panies are under no compulsion to run
them: they are uneconomical, and
most have been instituted by way of
rivalry and to advertise the roads more
than to meet any real need of the ira
veling public.
A policy Of speed reduction would
accord with the policy of retrench-
ment with which railroad executives
are confronted in other things.

GrOundless Fears.

Senator LaFolette, discussing reci-
procity at a dinner in Madison, said
with smile:
"These fears are groundless. They
are groundless to the point of being
ludicrous. They remind me in fact, of
Calhoun Clay.
Calhoun Clay was waiter at sea-
side restaurant. The white glare OF
the sundrenched beach injured. his
eyes and he had to consult an occu-
list. The occulist fitted him out with
spectacles, and as he left the shop
with the spectacles on his nose, he
gave great start and halted before a
huge and extraordinary machine.
Calhoun stared in awe at this ma.
chine for some time. Then he said:
What's dat, boss?"
"'That, said the occulist solemnly,
''is an opthalmometer.'

backed further away, his eyes still fx-
ed upon the formidable instrument

LET THERE BE SOME END.


Senator TilIman, in his letter in re-
gard to the dispensary system, lugs
in the name of Mr.. H. H. Evans, Of
Newberry, in a manner which, in ef-
feet, revives charges against Mr.. Ev-
ans which have been buried beneath
mol pros. by the State in Newberry
county and a verdict of not guilty by
Richland county jury. The reference
by Senator Tillman, it seems to us, is
wholly uncalled-for, and in bad taste.
1t is true that Mr., Evans was connect
ed with the old State dispensary, and
it is true that charges were brought
against him, as they were brought
against nearly every man who ever
had any connection with the business,
Senator Tillman himself not escaping
Some months ago the attorney general
of.the State, acting through the solici-
tor of this circuit, handed out bill
of indictment against Mr.. Evans in
the Newberry court At that term of
court and at every succeeding term Of
court Mr.. Evans demanded trial, un-
til the case was finally mol pressed by
the attorney general. Mr.. Evans was
then indicted in Richland county. He
demanded a trial there, and he was
acquitted.
Surely, even if a man was connect
ed with the old State dispensary, he
and his family are entitled to some
consideration If Senator Tillman
had any proof of any wrong-doing by
Mr.. Evans in connection with the dis
pensary, it strikes us that ne should
have presented it during the course
of some of the many investigations
which have been conducted Of the dis
pensary's affairs, and certainly dur
ing the time Mr.. Evans was demanding
of the court a final judgment in con-
nection with the charges brought
against him. 1t is unworthy of the
senator 10 be raking up these dead
embers of the past at this late day,
the only effect of which could be to
bring Mr.. Evans into unpleasant no
toriety again. There ought to be an
end at some time to charges and ac-
cusations. We presume the attorney
general urged all the proof against
Mr.. Evans which he had. The attor-
ney general himself in one case ended
the prosecution, and in the other a
jury of another county wrote YER
dict of acquittal.
1t would nave been far better for
South Carolina, in our humble Judg-
ment, had the legislature, when 1t
abolished the State dispensary, abol-
ished it then and there and put an
end to the whole matter. The legis-
1dIuIe, Ill 1lo WlouOAI1, hO"0'oA' VIZ
not see fit so to do. A long and ted
ious course was followed, with very
little result. That, however, has moth
ing to do with the matter in hand.
Mr.. Evans is a citizen of Newberry
county, and citizen of South Caro-
lima, who demanded investigation OF
charges brought against him, who has
the records of the court behind him
and against whom there are now nc
charges pending, so far as we know
| Isn't it about time for charges ano
vicious references in the public prints
in regard to Mr.. Evans to cease?
