Before began to Use Cardui was so
weak and nervous, and had such awful

Since taking Cardui feel as strong as

more, and can cat most anything want
You arc perfectly welcome TO publish
my testimonial, for Cardu has certainly
been a blessing to me and cannot praise
it too highly"
These nervous, dizzy spells which Miss
Wilson describes arc very common svmp-
toms OF womonly trouble, and should be
given the proper treatment to prevent a
general breakdown.
Although Cardui has been known in
thousands OF the most serious cases TO
bring relief and eventually effect cure.
still 1t is better not to let the trouble 90

For over fifty years Cardui has been
building up weak, nervous women to

THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

Thursday nights speech of Robert Jennings was maSterful exposition of the political silu- ation as it exists today in Alas ka. In simple language he un- folded the hidden plans of the Republican party, masked behind a platform in fair words of prom ise. He showed the inconsistency of the COrdOva convention in fla vOring home rule and yet cndors- ing President Taft'S candidacy and praising him for the deep in tereSt he has taken in Alaskan affairs. He ridiculcd the Rcpub- lican demand for as full a meas ure of territorial government as had been accorded Arizona and New Mexico, pointing out that by inflicting a county form of gov ernment upon this territory our opponents hoped to kill home rule entirely.
 MT. Jennings stated squarely and without equivocation how he NIoou VII pl JO Alaskans, leaving an impression among his auditors of honesty and sincerity of purpose. His position in reference to the large corporations elicited generous applause, as he said that Alaska needed the investment of vast sums of money for it's develop mcnt and that corporations should receive fair treatment as well as encouragement; but on the other hand he said that where corporate bodies corrupted courts and tempered wiIh jurirs, inter- fcrpd with legislation and Shirkcd paying their just proportion of taxes, it became the duty of those clothed With official rcsponsibil- ity to mete out to them such pun iShmcnt as will preclude the rep itition of the Oilcnsc. He sum- med his whole attitude on this question in the Democratic mot 10: "Equality to all, special fla VOrS tO nOnr.'
 Such campaign as Mr.. Jrn- nlngS opened here. carried throughout the length and breadth of Alaska. will. when the people go to the polls in August. send him lo Washington as the accredited repre- sentative of Alaska. in do for this territory more than has been accnmplish- ed in the half century of Amcri- can hOmininn.

ALaskA's NEEDS IGNORED

Unfortunately for the citizens of Alaska their needs are not q political issue in this political year and both parties in congress sidcstcp the legislation demand ed by the territory. Legislation affecting Alaska'S interests would have small bearing on the DrpSi- dcniial election this year and re- publicanS and democrats alike in congress apparently refuse to concern themselves with any proposition that cannot be turned ie political advantage.
 Congress has done nothing for Alaska sine" 1905, and that great and rich district in which are un- told wealth. not only in the mines, but of tn" forests and the soil and the streams, is suffering rom this prOirarird neglect Shipments of merchandise to Alaska hay" fallen off in the past two years and are not likely tO increase until congress abandons it's contcmptuous treatment of the territory. The Pacific coast states and all of the states west and northwest of the Mississippi should act in concert in forcing Alaska needs and just demands upon an indifferent congress- Tacoma Ledger.
