WHEN 1 WOMAN IS NERVOUS WORRIED

Most women neglect their health,
and for this they pay the penalty.
Any woman will find that neglect
does not pay. A little more atten-
ton to health would brighten up her
life. If she asks her neighbors she
finds that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription benefits a woman's whole
system. 1t not only acts upon the
troubles and weaknesses peculiar
to women, but is an all-round tonic
that braces the entire body, over
coming nervousness, sleeplessness,
headaches, dizziness and a rum
down condition.

1t is a matter of common knowl-
edge that money is necessary in the
conduct of a political campaign, but
there is a vast difference between a
fund for legitimate campaign ex-
penses and a Doodle fund designed
and used to corrupt the electorate.
But in the instance at stake few po-
litical bosses of St. Louis hold up a
candidate for the Presidency for an
immense fund, more than two thou
sand dollars to each district in the
state, or more than one thousand dol
lars fer each AAeelleesate state and DIS
trict, with no evidence that any OF
it was spent for legitimate expenses.
1t has been amply demonstrated that
those kind of men can control the
Republican party of St. Louis, but we
will have to be shown before we be-
lieve that the Republican party voters
of the state will be satisfied to fol-
low the lead of these corrupt bosses,
since this exposure of theeir methods
has been made.
