HASTINGS. Mob. Feb ALTO the
Editor OF The Bee: 1 noticed in the
columns Of your good paper last week
an article that the mayor OF Hastings
had broken faith with the committee of
the Chamber of Commerce in regard TO
the immoral shows that the mayor
closed.
This attack was all uncalled for and
on account Of my many speaking dates
was unable to answer the article sooner.
1 know your good paper wants the
truth and the same is attached to this
letter bearing my signature as mayor
Of the city Of Hastings.
Trusting you will correct the false i'm
preston given out, as your good paper
would not want to take advantage Of a
young man who commenced his business
career as an Omaha Bee newsboy and
who has always kept truth. honesty and
justice for his guide.
Thanking you for past favors and as
surfing you of my sincerity for the peo-
ple's interest. remain as ever an old
friend Of the Omaha Bee.
WILLIAM MADGETT.
Extract from letter:

and suggestive shows upon our streets
and that did stop the exhibition of a
Wild man from Borneo or some other

acts Of tearing live pigeons to pieces

In the presence Of the pablo during the

Of consulting q committee OF the Cham

tive shows when some Of the members
Of the Chamber of Commerce were them
selves operating a gambling devise upon
our streets and refused to. stop until
they were arrested, claiming they had
legal advice and knew what they were
doing. 1 am sorry that this interfered
with the finances of the Chamber of
Commerce, but am inclined TO think
that revenue or finance for any purpose
should not be procured IN this manner.

To be poor and in trouble too often spells
denial Of justice. Courts are ready TO act but
he machinery by which they move is expensive.
To obyiate that difficulty the proposed legal

serving poor Is a most commendable exercise of

OMAHA. Feb. ITO the Editor Of The
Bee: Having read in your paper the tele-
gram Of Nathan straus, the father OF
the pasteurization Of milk in the United
States. in which he states that scarlet
fever and other contagious disease epi-
denies are usually traceable 10 the milk
supply. feel that reply should be made
to same. Every precaution and investigs-
ton that could possibly be made 70 safe
guard the citizens Of this city from an
epidemic of any contagious disease
through its milk supply has been and
will always be provided for. |. as head Of
the milk inspection service. can say with
out fear OF contradiction that not one sin
gle case OF scarlet fover now prevalent in
our city has been or could be traced TO
the milk supply.
! realize that in cities like New York
(Mr. Straus' home) pastuerization of its
milk supply has accomplished wonders
and has materially reduced the death
rate among infants, as well as reducing
the cases Of contagious diseases usually
traceable TO milk. but New York City
receives It's milk from at least ten diff
ferent states and II would be next TO i'm
possible TO inspect and keep as close a
WdhCn on Nie uaAflta SuBpiSiHE liitii iiiiAh
as It Is In Omaha when we have 1O6
dairies within a radius Of six miles and
under constant observation and inspec-
ton.
For one appreciate the warning issued
by Mr.. Straus. but do not agree with
him that pastuerization is absolutely es-
sential TO safeguard milk supply. As an
illustration. New York City. where all of
the milk must be pastuerized. showed
death rate among infants in 1915 Of III
per 100. while in our city, where ap-
proximately only IS per cent Of the milk
is so treated, Il per 1000 was the rate.
You can rest assured. Mr.. Editor. that
IL at any time the milk supply Of this
city shows any signs of deteriorating in
quality I shall be the first to raise my
voice and fight hard and long for ell the
safeguards necessary II our milk sup
ply continues as 1t is today, pastueriza-
ton Ia not necessary.

NHY WOMEN

To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask care
The letters which the Lydia f. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,

Why do women write such letters 7 "
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent Of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia Z. Pink

hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some Of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
