 Suffering.
More Convincing Proof.

When Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was first introduced its cur ative powers were doubted and had to be proved But the proof came, and gradually the use of it spread over the whole country. Now that hundreds of thousands of women have experienced the most beneficial effects from it's use its value has become generally recog- nized and it is now the standard medi- cine for women's ills.
 The following letter is only one of the thousands on our files.

EeHTINc AGAINST PORK

What appears to be the first step towards the removal of the pork from the rivers and harbors bill now being considered by congress, is the drop ping of the proposition to purchase the Chesapeake and Delaware canal by the senate committee in reporting the measure.
 This canal has long been out of use It is probable that it could be made an important aid to inside transpor- tation but it would require much money and it is not good business policy to pay a topnotch price for such a waterway which would require in all probability a far greater sum to put it in condition for use.
 How much of a fight will material ize on the plan to eliminate the pork that there will be one provided it is necessary, when Senator Kenyon says that every item in the bill will be scrutinized most carefully. He has gone on record as saying that he will fight the existing bill and endeavor to have about s16.ooo.o0o Topped off and have the s22.oo0,00o which he is willing to approve turned over to the war department for such use as 1t sees fit A fight on this measure should it get to the point where filibuster is started would endanger the whole bill. but that is what is likely to result if there is no inclina- tion to heed the demand for the elini- nation of the pork. but with the many cases which the government has for money at this time, the great call which there is for war preparations and the poor financial condition of the treasury. there ought to be little time wasted over such a reasonable demand as is being made for the sav- ing of needless exDense

GIRLS FRIENDS ALL NOTICE GREAT
 CHANGE IN HER
Miss Chapin, of Hartford, Says That She Tells Same
 Story to All.

Miss Madeline Chapin, the popular and pretty ticket taker of the Palace Theatre, in Hartford, and who resides at 35 Barker St., in that city, says:-
 When first started using Tanlac l believe l was on the verge of a ner- vous breakdown
 1 was so restless and idgety that it was impossible for me to get any real rest at night. would roll and toss and wake up often.
 My digestion was very bad and my appetite uncertain most of the time. felt restless and too tired to do any thing.
 Then became interested in Tan lac and began using it. I have ob- tained wonderful results from its use. It has improved my health so much that I feel like a new woman. My nerves are steady and can sleep like a top. I have a good appetite, splen- did digestion and feel well and strong all the time.
 t.So much have improved that my friends have all noticed the change in me and they are commenting on it. To every one I gladly tell the same story, sTanlac did it."

l to see this ambiguity and later he hayed Douglass mercilessly with it. In a word, Illinois republicans knew that the whole questionNof slavery in the territories would be reopened and that Lincoln was familiar with every phase of the question. They knew that he could hit straight. direct, and hard and they wished his blows to fall where they would have the most telling effect-on Doug4&s himself. Ac- cording1y, Lincoln sent to Douglas a challenge to meet him in a series or debates. The challange was accepted ist and knew that he had arranged no simple matter when he had agreed to meet him before the people.
 The country watched with breath less Interest as the Little Giant and the big giant went into the political arena and the people were electrified when they heard what the debates were bringing forth. "A house divided coin, "I believe this country cannot permanently endure half slave and half free"
 Of Douglas doctrine of popular sovereignty he said, "it means just this-if one man chooses to enslave ed to object" What, he asked Doug las, became of the doctrine of popular sovereignty if the Dred Scott decision were accepted as law. Douglas re-
 
 could hold slavery back by hostile legislation. Then a mere territorial legislature can do what congress itself cannot, asked MT. Lincoln. And Douglas was embarrassed and knew not how to answer.
 In the great speech at Springfield. in which he made his most elaborate argument MT. Lincoln said: Tt should not be overlooked that in the Nebras- ka bill the people of state as well as territory were to be left perfect ly free Why mention a state? Why is mention of a state lugged into this merely territorial law
 Put this and that together, and we have another nice little niche. which we may ere long see filled with another supreme court decision, declaring that the Constitution of the United States does not permit a state to exclude slavery from its limits. Such a de- cision is all that slavery now lacks of being alike lawful in all the states" Able as he was, Douglas found this

AMERICAN vEssELs

When consideration is given to the position in which this country is placed by the unrestricted naval war fare of Germany, and the wild scram- ble which is taking place to secure vessels to handle the great amount of transatlantic shipping, it cannot help being appreciated that President Will son took the proper step when he is sued his recent proclamation forbid ding the transfer of American-owned ships to foreign registry in the pres ent emergency.
 The merchant marine of this coun- try Is nowhere near what it ought to be- Many of the vessels which were owned in this country previous to and since the opening of the war have been purchased by foreign shipowners and changed to other flags The ship yards of the country are hives of in- dustry, but they are unable to turn out ships as fast as they can be put into service. The demand is far greater than the supply and for the first time in years orders are being placed with American shipyards for vessels which are wanted for British trade
 When it is shown that during the past half year there have been 109 vessels bought in this country by for eign shipowners and changed to the 2ags of those countries there is sufh- cient reason given for the action which has been taken by the president. That condition would not have to prevail very long. especially if the subma- rine activities are what Germany hopes they will be, before the Ameri- can shipping would be demoralized. This country has use for all the ves- sels that 1t possesses and those which are under construction. It cannot af- ford to lose it's hold on any of them.

ONE PIECE FRocKs

The one piece frock is still running a deadly rivalry against the coat and skirt, and the manufacturers of clothes say that it is winning every week. Fur coats, as well as long cloth coats with lavish fur triming, are really respon- sible for the partly successful boy colt of the tailored suit Women have taken up the top coat with so mulch eagerneSs that they are willing to throw aside any other garment that keeps them from wearing it. The thin one piece frock is, therefore, the fash ion of the hour, but the sensible wom- an has one good coat suit in her ward robe.
 Another reason for the popularity of the one piece frock is the insistence upon late afternoon entertaining which Is made by the masses of people, and not by the few idle ones, as hereto fore.

It was proposed by Senator Pofndex- ter and received the approval of Pres ident Wilson. who some months ago had come out in favor of such @ step under the belief that this service should be freed from politics in the best paid as well as in the poorest paid offices. If it is good in one in stance it should be in another and certainly the most important postof- fees in the country ought to be eff1- ciently served regardless of the po-
 itical sympathies of the man in charge. It is ability and not partisan endeavors which should be the guide for the selection of postmasters.
 The determined manner in which the house has set itself against this proposal, and the insfstence which it has charged the committee on confer ence with the senate committee to use in opposing the provision, doesn't in dicate that much atention has been given to the administration's wishes The house avoided a roll call upon the amendment. but it $ to be hoped that the senate stands it's ground for the amendment as firmly as the house appears to be against it. It is time that the country got down to a sensible method of selecting some of it's most important appointive off, cials.

RESTS IN eERMANYs HANDS

It is an interesting turn which af- fairs have taken if it is actually so that Germany has asked this country for a conference for the purpose of averting war between the two nations. There has not been any desire on the part of this nation for war. That ought to be thoroughly understood both inside and outside of the coun-
 try. The United States was anxious to follow the path of neutrality, the course which it adopted at the open ing of the war. There would have been no severance of diplomatic rela- tions with Germany if 1t had given proper consideration to the rights of neutrals and humanity and shown re- spect for international law.
 Just what the proposition. is that Germany is said to have made to this country through the Swiss minister must be made known before any pro- ftable discussion can take place concerning it. but regardless of what it is. there is no probability that this country will enter into any prolonged conference relative to the course taken by Germany, or regarding the averting of war unless Germany ex- presses a determination to modify its submarine policy. This country was forced to act because. of the German stand IL cannot now agree to talk matters over while such unrestricted warfare is going on. while American vessels are likely to be sunk at any time or American lives taken in ac- cordance with those orders. Germany knows what this country broke with It for. Let it promise to comply with the promises which were made fol- lowing the Sussex attack and there will be no need of a conference Ger many can avert a war between the nations if it is actually desirous of doing so.

THE PERILS OF THE HIGHWAY. In view of the large number of lives which are exacted each day because of the failure to give the proper at tention to the rules Of the highway, and the large percentage of children who figure in such fatalities. it is the best kind of judgment, aside from the enforcement of the laws, to see that the people are educated in the re- sponsibility which rests upon them to protect themselves.
 And in this connection an excellent move has been made by the school authorities of Akron, O., who have authorized the instruction of the 20,- 009 children in the schools as to what street traffic rules are and how the children are to protect themselves from accidents while traversing the streets.
 Drivers of vehicles are required to lessen their speed when they ap- proach schoolhouses. but 1t is only right that the children should be given to understand that they cannot be ex- pected to be kept free from injuries and possibly accidents which may re- suit in their death. if they persist in stumping the leader by running in front of autos and wagons and invit- ing trouble.
 Such educational efforts as it is planned to make in the Akron schools ought to teach the children to respect the dangers of the highway, the peril of railroad crossings and the wisdom of paying serious attention to safety first, and such lessons as they learn during that course of instructions ought to be indelibly impressed upon their minds in the years to come. The move is most commendable one, par ticularly when it is recognized that the perils of the highway are always on the increase

structure of history and logic seri- ous matter.
 The debates closed on the eve of the election and the vital questions at issue were submitted to the people for their decision. Mir. LincoIn's ex- penses for the campaign were rather less than a thousand dollars while Douglas had borrowed and dispensed no less than eighty thousand dollars; mourning a debt which weighed him down to his grave. Douglas secured a small majority in the legislature and was reelected.
 It was said that Lincoln was beat en; it was nasty judgment. He had forced Douglas into a position which cost him his following at the south and which hopelessly divided the democratic party. The canvass had made MT. Lincoln strong with the re- publicans of the whole country. It was very important factor in his nomination and election to the presi- dency as well as in the development of the strong public sentiment which a little later put an end eO slavery forever.

 There is a pronounced vogue for bronze and light brown shades for evening wear, and the effectiveness of this combination was seen in a gown of the palest brown cflarmeuse yelled with bronze lace run with metal thread. A scarf of mauve-pink silk intfNGces a charming touch of color contrast.

A CASHMERE ROBE.

Cashmere lends itself admirably to count of being soft, fine and warm. A carriage cover was made of the cash mere lined with the pink china silk. The edges were marked off diagonally on the cashmere by means of feath- erinstitching; a tiny flower was work ed in each square. The colors were alternated, a pink and a blue one with yellow French knots for the center. A carriage strap made in the same way should be used with this robe.

SFrom the action which has been taken by the lower house of congress, it is indicated that that body is not yet ready to abandon the policy of "to the victor belong the spells" by plac- ing all the postmasters of the coun- try under civil service. That question
 came up in the form of an amendment to the appropriation bill in which the poStoffice department was included.

Today, to keep in accordance with the street costumes of the women that have been borrowed from mems cos tunes in the end of the eighteenth and first part of the nineteenth cen- tury, there has come about the Beau Brummel hat with it's curVing brim and it's silky crown that spreads wide at the sides. This is worn well down over the lace and it seems odd to see a pair of enormous earrings placed be- meath it's curving brim,. as one does see when the hat is worn by smart women.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The LincoIn- DouaIas Debates.

MT. Editor: If as has been said. the nomination of Lincoln was the great est event since Washington was se- lected to lead the army of the Revo- tuition. the senatorial contest of 1858 between Douglas and Lincoln was a very important incident in our na- tional history. It really made Mir. Lincoln president. Such was the posi- ton of Douglas that the man who entered into direct personal competi- ton with him was reasonably sure to achieve a national reputation. If Douglas had not held the position which he did or if ho1din1 it he had
