BETTER BABIES

The crusade for better babies has
spread from coast to coast, and taken
firm hold of American Mothers. Few
women realize how much the i'll
health of the mother influences the
unborn child, both physically and men
tally. Women who suffer from mys-
FERROUS pains, backache, nervousness,
mental depression, headaches, ETC.,
should rely on Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from
roots and herbs, which for nearly
forty years has been the standard
remedy for these ailments.

A MANS WAR AND A WoMAN's
WAR.
(From the New York World.)

(From the New York World.)
Called to protest against the men
who are making war in Mexico, the
meeting of New York women at Coor-
err Union speedily assailed the state
of Colorado, which is ruled in part by
women. More American blood has
been shed in that commonwealth dur
ing the past week than has been spill
ed in the street of Vera Cruz.
Although there has been female
suffrage in Colorado since 1898, social,
political and industrial conditions are
bad and have been growing worse. 1t
was natural and creditable that New
York women should condemn the
atrocities committed in the Trinidad
district, but there was strange silence
upon the question of responsibility for
them which rests upon women.
If actual war appears in Mexico it
will be mans war. The war that has
ragged in Colorado is to some extent a
woman's war. If the peaceable ladies
of New York have any influence II
should be exerted in concentrated
form upon their sisters in Colorado
who have had the ballot for twenty.
one years and have accomplished SO
little with it for humanity.

There had been so much assur-
anee about several grave, soft
spoken horsemen who had felt
that at the weight the favorite
could not win.
"Nevah fob a moment, sub, -

There had been many mods of
approval at this statement, and

for consolation. But when |

found the Judge more silent than
ever, and Mrs. Dillon as nervous
as myself.
Only Miss Goodloe appeared as
usual. Her drawl was soothing
ly indolent. She seemed entire
ly oblivious of any tenseness in
the atmosphere, and caught my
self wondering what was behind
those lazy-lidden blue eyes.
But now as the blue-gray
housetops of Louisville sparkled
with tiny points of light, and the
window panes swan with pink
gold flame. looked out over the
still sleeping city and laughed
aloud at my fears of the night
before.
