DEspoNpENT WOMEN

Nature intends every woman to be
cheerful, lighthearted and happy. but
when dragged down with pain and
suffering from female ills, will power
alone cannot overcome a nervous,
respondent condition. Multitudes OF
American women, however have
found that there is one tried and
true redemy to restore health under
such circumstances, and that is Lydia
T.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from herbs and roots. This
old-fashioned medicine is now con
sidered the standard American remedy
for such conditions. II

AN EXPENSIVE FARCE.

Yesterday was primary election day when
citizens of Iowa took, or mi ht have taken, such
part as an ill-advised law permits them IN Sc
lecting the candidates they desire to support at
the election this fall. Very little interest was
manifested and the vote was ridiculously light.
Experience the best of teachers, is demon
strating that the caucus and convention system
was the best and simplest way of ascertaining
the wishes of the people, and that the present
double-election is an expensive farce. Such
opposition as still exists to the return to the
state and district convention and caucus sys-
TEN is based primarily on complete ignorance of
the substantial benefits of such conventions and
caucuses and on a memory of past scandals
which might be easily and completely eli1ni-
mated in the future by a simple amendment to
the election law
Repeal or amend the primary election law!

TAKING STOCK OF OUR MUSIC.

The disposition to eliminate German music
from concert and operate programs in this
country grew rapidly through the past musical
year It is probable that next season will see it
still more influential on artists, directors and
program makers Passing here discussion of
how much justice there may be in an indis-
criminate embargo on musical classics, the
thought suggests itself that out of the condition
good may come to American music. There is
excellent ground for belief we shall know as
we have not known just what music of the more
important sort we have produced and are pro
ducing. We know we'll that our song literature
has been greatly enriched and that it is now a
dignifed contribution to song; we know less
about the full content of ensembles for voices
and instruments and about literature other
than the piano Nothing according to the
critics, who are honestly anxious to be kind as
