WOMEN
EVERYWHERE
Praise Lydia. e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound as the
Greatest Remedy for
Woman's Ills.

New Haven, Conn. For two years
I suffered with a female weakness,
pains in my back and painful periods,
and was SO weak and tired that was
not able to do my work. A friend told
me to use Lydia E. Pinkham' s Vegetable
Compound and it gave me great relief.
My pains left me and ! am now able to
do my work and feel fine. You can pub
lish my testimonial and dif your Vegetable
Compound does others as much good as
it has me I will be very much pleased"
Mrs. CHARLES E. MORGAN, 81 Sea
Street, New Haven, Conn.
The reason Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound is 80 successful is
because it contains the curative,
strengthening properties of good old
fashioned roots and herbs, which act
directly on the female organism.
There are women everywhere who
long for children in their homes yet are
denied this happiness on account Of
some functional disorder which in most
cases would readily yield to Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Such women should not give up hope
until they have given this wonderful
medicine trial, and for special advice
write Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.,
Lynn, Mass. The result of 40 years
experience Is at your SERVICE

slOO SALARY FOR TEACHERS
Is Recommended As Minimum
Pay By DR.. McDougle

Ways and means for obtaining
higher salaries for Kentucky teachers
were discussed at the opening session
of the Jefferson County Teachers In
stitute at Louisville.
DR.. E. C. McDougle, dean of East
ern Kentucky State Normal, Richmond
Ky., spoke on Better Salaries fM
Better Service",- pointing out that
with higher pay would come greater
teaching efficiency. He said teachers
are forming county federations for the
purpose of getting legislation through
authorizing increases in school fund
levies to enable payment of higher
salaries.
eve will not strike, nor do we in
tend to threaten the public" said
Prof. McDougle. "Our intentionhs TO
mould public sentiment in our favor,
and to give the public square deal
and we expect the same"
Prof. McDougle recommended $100

teachers. He said he was glad to
learn that teachers of Jefferson coun-
ty were organizing to get higher pay.

COATES TELLS WORTH
OF TEACHERS WORK.
Address By Normal President
Features Tuesday Afternoon
Session Of Institute.

An address by President T. J..
Coates, of Eastern Normal, was
the feature of the afternoon ses-
sion Of the Madison county teach
ers' institute Tuesday. DR..
Coates followed the musical pro-
gram led by DR.: Myers which
was greatly enjoyed as usual. DR..
Coates gave the worth of the
work of the teachers under the
following heads:
We mould ourselves and our
work at the same time.
Our minds grow just as we en-
gage ourselves with larger and
larger problems.
Human action is controlled by
motive; to control action we
must furnish a motive.
We should have better schools
and to better these schools we
must know definitely the difficult
ties.
Schools must have a definite
standard, for without a, standard
you cannot measure a school.
Institutes are held to better the
schools.
Immediately after DR.. Coates,
Prof. H. H. Brock gave short
and to the point talk on the rural
schools and what they should do
for the girls and boys of today.
Prof. Eugene Spurlock, of the
Kirksville High School, gave
short talk on grammar, which
was followed by Prof. Eubank on
language and composition. Ad-
journment was then taken to
Wednesday.
The teachers, as enthusiastic in
their work as at the initial session
began their work Wednesday
morning with devotional exercis-
es conducted by DR.. Myers, i'm
mediately followed by musical
number. Afther this Instructor
Prof. Eubank, took charge of dis
posing of the program in such an
interesting manner that the time
passed rapidly. Ten o'clock came
so quickly that only few mo-
ments were given for recess
period, after which DR.. Myers
gave description of the battle of
Gettysburg as witnessed by him
self. This was indeed treat
unexpected and was indel-
IDLY impressed upon the minds of
all present.
Mr.. Eubank finished the morn
ing's work by having the roll call
ed, finding the larger part of the
teachers present.

VIOLENCE APPEARS
IN STREET CAR STRIKE
Louisville Street Cars Are Not
Running and Fight Promises
To Become Bitter.
(By Associated Press)

10y ASSoCidIcu IICSo(
Louisville, KY, Aug. 20-Prac-
tically no street cars are running
here today as result of the
strike of street railway employees
for recognition of the union. One
guard was assaulted by crowd
and seriously hurt. Today police
reports show increased acts of
violence, including cutting of
trolley wires and poles, spiking
switches. A negro fired at one
car.
At another point a crowd bonn
barded motorman and police es-
cort with overripe tomatoes.
Sixty thousand men and wo-
men walked, TAXED or truck
ed" to their places of employment
in Louisville after they found
the street car system to be par
alyzed.
Union leaders conducting the
strike express themselves as
pleased with the strike.
Indications are the. men are de-
termined to insist on a new con-
tract, recognizing the principle of
the closed shop"
This is the only cause of dis
pute between the men and their
employees it was asserted. Con-
ferees have agreed on the ques-
tion of wages and working condi-
tions. u
. The General Council adopted
unanimously a resolution calling
on the Mayor and members of
the Board of Public Safety to re-
new negotiations aiming at set
tlement of the strike. An or
dinance was passed by the lower
board to prevent police acting as
guards on cars. operated by the
company, but the measure was
defeated by the upper board.
A feature of the strike is the
interest the women are showing.
They aided pickets throughout
the day, and pleaded with non
union men leaving the barns NJ
to take out their cars. At 18th
street and Broadway, a woman
attacked a motorman with an
umbrella when he refused to heed
her entreaties. At 9th and Ches-
nut streets two young girls sent
car back to the barn after having
hurled bricks through the win
dows.
Louisville street car strikers at
tackled two Courier-Journal report
ers on the ground that the CT is
unfair to the strike. The reporters
had warrants issued for a policeman
who is charged with having clubbed
them.

A TRIBUTE TO
JOHNNIE M'BR|DE
Richmond, Aug. 20.

flchmOnd, Aug. ~.
Mr.. Editor:--
notice in a recent edition of the
Daily Register the passing of John, OF
as he was familiarly called Johnnie
Mcbride, who was the last of Erin's
native sons in our county. This man
is worthy of more than a passing note
because he was the last of a type so
familiar in central Kentucky in the
past. Such names HORNE, Roach,
Powers, Curren, Moynahan, Buckley
and many others are familiar to our
ears. Johnnie Mcbride represented
the last of group who came to our
state during the century and were so
instrumental in building the turn
pixies which have made Kentucky
famous. They built the roads and
their wives collected the toll.
Johnnie Mcbride had all the racy
humor for which his race is noted,
and the man who played at wits with
him stood a poor show to come out
ahead. He once threatened to leave
his church, and cline" the Pond
church, saying "It is much nearer and
a dom sight cheaper" Many are the
amusing stories told of him and they
will be remembered as long as those
who knew him live.
Another characteristic of this race
was. their Americanism. While they
never, even to the third generation,
have lost their love for Ireland they
are Americans to the core. They are
generally Democrats, but so strong
are their personal likes and dislikes
that the writer has known nearly all
of the Old Timers to vote for a Re-
publican.
They cannot be said to be a frugal
although Mcbride was an ex-
ception-because their love of
pleasure overshadowed their love Of
accumulation. They were essential
ly convivial and social, and were
against prohibition, because from the
days of Tom Moore, they enjoyed both
songs and toddies. They, as race
loved music, and since the earliest
settlements of Kentucky the "Irish
Fiddler" has been proverbial. Of all
cur civilation none has been more
useful, more patriotic, or have been
assimilated so easily.
Johnnie Mcbride had all the
characteristic of his race.
He died in full communion in the
Church of his fathers.
Requiescat in pace.

and Col. Oldham has proven that
he is the right sort of stuff by
the spirit he has shown at this
time. He assures Shanks of his
enthusiastic support and that no
one will do more to help elect
him than he will.
Col. Oldham made remark
able race for the office he sought
and with his wonderful adver-
tising campaign would have won
over any other man person can
name. He happened to find op-
position in one of the most popu-
lar and highest class democrats
and citizens that old Kentucky
has ever produced, and defeat
by such a man is no discredit.
Col. Oldham's telegram of con-
graduation to Mr. Shanks will
be read with interest by friends
of both. Col. Oldham, with his
wife, is enjoying vacation at
Saratoga Springs. He wired
Shanks from there as follows:
Official count received by me
today shows that youN have de-
feated me for the Democratic
nomination for Lieutenant Gov
ernor. Accept my sincere con-
gratulations and be assured
my ole-hearted and enthusias
tic support. ], heartily commend
you to the Democracy of Ken
lucky, especially to those who
supported me and it is my sim
cere hope that you will receive
in November every vote that was
cast for me in the August pri-
mary. No man in Kentucky will
do more to assure your election
than l will"
