1t Roosevelt cannot control the
republican convention, he intends
to bolt and become a rump candi-
date. Should he be nominated at
the regular convention, there are a
million of real, regular, true re-
publicans in this country who will
bolt his nomination and vote for
Bryan if given an opportunity.

The writer is still of the opinion
that the president will make a mis-
take by intervening in the trouble
IN Cuba, or take part in the Mex
lean squabble. Foreigners who
go to those countries to make mon
ey are entitled to no more nor less
protection than natives of those
countries. 1t is all wrong to bur-
den the people of this country and
jeopodize the lives of American
citizens to protect monied inter-
ests in competition with local cap
ital.

1t begins to look as if there was
no hope for the Republican party
because of its divided condition.
Should Taft be nominated, the in
surgents to a man would do all
they possibly could to defeat him,
and should Roosevelt be nominal
ed, the men who have the welfare
of the country at heart would vote
for the democratic nominee. II be-
gins to look as if Bryan was the
coming man of the nation, and if
nominated by the democrats, would
sweep the country. There is no
Republican party any more-it is
now go as you please.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.

There would be more sympathy
with the complaints regarding the
colonel's campaign expenditures,
if the opposition elements would
give to the public the amount ex-
pended in behalf of Mr.. Taft. 1t is
safe to say the federal office hold
ers have succeeded in spending as
much for the presidents campaign
as Roosevelt's supporters.-Wau
kesha Freeman.
Which is worse? To receive the
support of a few ofice-holders, or
be backed by the "big interests"
of the country which are fighting
Taft, because he has endeavored to
do his duty toward the people to
prevent them from being robbed by
the men supporting Roosevelt.

lions this is true In this Instance, how
ever, the ground was In fairly good
condition when plowed in September

waited sufficiently to prepare firm
seed-bed. Under these conditions the
deep blowing slightly outyielded the
shallow blowing. In past seasons
when It was impossible to prepare a

obtained from the shallow plowed
plots. In practice It will undoubtedly
prove more profitable, II the blowing

in July, one seven inches deep and the

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

The "change Of life is a 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. Pinkham'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.
