A young woman out in la. found a

Il was greatly troubled with my

sharp pains and would have to lie

when I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe
headache.
while visiting my mother.in.law I
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me 1t was
easy to make good coffee when you
use Postum.
Il began to use Postum as soon as I
got home, and now we have the same
good coffee (Postum) every day, and
have no nor trouble. Indigestion
is a thing of the past, and my COM
plexion has cleared up beautifully.
MY grandmother suffered a great
deal with her stomach. Her doctor
told her to leave off coffee. She then
took tea but that was just as bad.
She finally was induced to try Post

1t is true that nature and a woman's
work mas produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
q remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more eficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds Of
thousands of letters from women seek

over their own signatures hat they have
regained their health by taking Lydia

Ts those who say that to abolish

number of those thrown out of work
from inebriety is much larger. The

times the number of men employed in

MODERATE pRlNkER TO BLAME.

We maintain, not as radical reform

but merely as fairly intelligent observ-
ers, that the example of the moderate

What young man ever takes his first
glass with the intention of becoming
like the Keeling, degraded sot he
passes in the street with disgust? Or
like the pitiful wreck of humanity
seeking to regain his lost manhood in

to be like his friend, Mr.. A, that pat

KANSAS PRINCIPLES IN MISSOURI.

happened not because things are usual

cause Kansas teachings had taken so

OF the money wrung from the people

than $500. 10000 more than the last

the community poor and to relieve
distress and suffering in this city and

cry must be fed and that as winter
opens conditions confront the people
here which demands the attention of
our Christian civilization.
The Clarksburg merchants have
sustained their reputation for gen
crosby and solicitation for the we'll
being of all of the community. They
have cheerfully responded to the plan
of contribution mapped out for them
and they certainly will be blessed as
the Lord loves a cheerful giver. They
have done their part we'll:
The campaign will close tomorrow
with Charity and Tag day. Many
will be enlisted in the work Of rails
ing funds tomorrow and the day
promises to mark q decided success.
1t will be everybody's day and 1t is
needless to urge everybody to con-
tribute as the aims spirit of the peo-
pie of Clarksburg is general and ev-
eryone is going to contribute without
being begged by the newspapers to
do so.

The civil Service.

'.The law pertaining to the civil
service" says the Democratic ma
tional platform. should be, honestly
and rigidly enforced, to the end that
merit and ability be the standard OF
appointment, rather than service
rendered to political party"
The first thing that happened after
the Democratic administration came
into power was to order re-exam nina
ton of 10000 fourth class postmas-
tiers already in the civil service.
When these postmasters happened to
be Republicans, their places were
filed by Democrats who had made
much lower ratings in the examina-
lions.
When the income tax was passed.
careful provision was made to have
the positions thus created filled out
side the civil service
An attempt was then made to re-
move deputy United States marshals
from the civil service and similar
blow was directed against the pres
ent experienced and efficient assist
ant postmasters.
On top OF this, Postmaster Cen
cral Burleson would like to kill OF
the rural route carriers and let the
contracts for carrying these routes
to the lowest private bidders.

in Parliament Bill.
Correspondents OF the Associated

Correspondence or the Associated

LNDoN. Oct. 30-A campaign to
raise British pensions and separation
allowances has been started by G.
M. Barnes, member of parliament,
who proposes minimum OF one
pound sterling q week for the widow
of every soldier and sailor killed az
the front, for the mother dependent
on any soldier and sailor killed. TOT
the wife of every soldier and sailor
now in the fighting line and also TOT
every soldier and sailor permanently
maimed by fighting.
Such an increase sounds small IN
comparison with American pension
rats but would mean q four-fold raise
for the English In most instances
From $1.25 a week the widows pen
sion would be raised to $5. Mothers
dependent for support on men who
die in active service are now unpTo-
vided for The wives OF men at the
front at phesent get only $1.25 q
weak while the. minimum weekly
pension allowed 90 disabled soldiers
is IS cents. Mr.. Barnes also proposes
to double the present allowance OF
90 cents a week for each dependent
child.
It is pointed out that the nation
has to support these DEPENDENTS n =.
burden on private charity does not
relieve the country of cost. An ade-
quate separation allowance and pen
sion would relieve the families OF
men who are Offering their lives for
their country from the stigma OF
beign objects of charity.
But as the proposed increase IS
likely to take the form of a super
tax on incomes. it is not popular
with the wealthy classes.
