dered to report in New York on the

thing that ever happened to the
nation, and they are accepting It

An Appeal for the Old Ladies' Home.

The Old Ladies' Home is a char
tered private charitable institution
located at Jackson as a central
point.
1t is not backed by any organiza-
ton, religious or civic, but is sup
ported by private contributions, sup
plemented by small donations from
less than one half of the counties Of
the State.
Under the auspices of the women
of the State, it has been built by de-
grees since 1908, at cost of about
$4,000, and is managed entirely by
women.
The $4,000 Annex recently COM
pleted will enable the home to care
for hundred or more old women,
who are admitted at SIS years and up.
The question Of support is a Sc
rious one and is becoming more so.
This burden has not been shared by
all parts of the State, many cummu-
mites having never contributed a
dollar To remedy this condition is
the object Of this article. A most
earnest appeal is made through the
friendly press to every town, hamlet
and rural community for systematic
and continued help.
A dollar a year from every wo-
man in the State able to give it would
lift heavy burden from the should
ers of the management.
Will not some woman in every
community volunteer to collect this
dollar from every one possible and
forward? Over $4,000 a year is
needed for support, and it must come
or these dependent old women must
suffer. Help them.
This is an appeal to all organized
bodies of men and women, as well as
personal appeal to every one who
reads these lines.

Women by the hundreds, many OF

their miserable suffering, are visit

tigating the Stella Vitae treatment.
Rich and poor alike. they are TAX

regaining their normal health.
strength and beauty by obtaining a
supply of this vegetable preparation.
In this section druggists have suf-
fcient quantity of the Stella Vitae
treatment on hand to meet the pres.
ent enormous demand, but 1t is not
known how long before their stocks
will be temporarily exhausted. Fol
that reason local women are advised
to act quickly, in order that they
may begin the treatment Immediate
ly and determine for themselves
whether or not Stella Vitae will ben
eft them as 1t has SO many thous-
ands of their sisters.
The trial is made easy for any
woman, because the interests behind
the distribution of Stella Vitae have
placed the treatment within the
reach of every suffering woman, no
matter what her circumstances or
station in life, Through the liberal
money back guarantee no charge Is
made If the patient is not benefited.
AS result Of this unusual policy,
any suffering woman may obtain
Stella Vitae and if she does not feel
improved after taking the first bot
tie, the druggist who supplied her
will cheerfully refund the purchase

Laboratories in order that no woman
suffering from the troubles peculiar
to her sex will De denied possible
relief. 1t is not claimed that the
Stella Vitae treatment will overcome
any woman's disease. 1t may be that
in some cases no medicine will bring
relief. Others may need to resort to
jurgical treatment, but reports from

Stella Vitae does have wonder

And it is with the desire Of aiding

men of America in their suffering,
rather than the accumulation Of
enormous profits, that the Thacher
Laboratories are making such wide

1t is therefore the positive duty Of
every suffering woman, not only to

About Crosby's Speech Published in
Saturday Leader.


have carefully read Mr.. L. o.
Crosby's speech in the Free Press,
made at the Booster Meeting in Pop
larville the other day, and l must
say that it is one of the best that
have heard, and believe that Mr..
Crosby's sympathies are with the
farmer because if he grew up and
worked on farm he certainly knows
what farmer has to contend with
to make crops and he is showing a
disposition not only to give advice,
but is actually spending his money
to help the farmers of this country,
and his advice is good regarding CO.
operation and helping each other,
but he cannot bring prosperity to
the farmer by his liberality, and the
farmers of this country must do
something for themselves. Mr.. Gross
by is manufacturing lumber and he
belongs to that class of people
who are getting $2.75 worth of the
farmers produce for $1.00 worth of
his products compared. While / have
no quarrel to make with him for get
ting all that he can for his lumber
it is up to the farmers of, this coun-
try to demand more for their pro-
ducts from their farms, and then re-
fuse to pay an unreasonable price
for manufactured goods before it is
too late, for the time is not so far
ahead when he will not be able to
buy at any price, if present condit-
ions do not change.
1t is true that manufacturers are
in some cases paying much higher
wages for their labor than they did
in 1913, but they should realize
that we must get back to pre-war
basis and that the cost Of goods must
be reduced from the present basis if
this country shall prosper, and they
should cut these high salaries and
wages down to a reasonable price,
SO as to be able to meet the farmer
on halfway ground with prices, and
let's all share in. prosperity alike.
Some will say let's have high pri-
ces for farm products and let manu-
factured goods stay where they are.
but any student Of economy who Is
posted on conditions throughout the
world knows that this cannot be
done for the reason the tariff has
been put on many articles to protect
the price from foreign competition
both on farmers productsAas well as
the manufactured goods and + can
see no reason why we should want
or ask for higher prices because !
don't believe higher prices can be
maintained, and what this country
now wants is equal prices In both
farm products and manufactured
goods and then let salaries and wa
ges come down accordingly. and then
we can have prosperity. but we can
never have 1t when one class Of peo-
pie have to give s2.75 for what they
should have to give $1.0O. ! am not
just ready to- suggest the remedy,
but there should be one, and ! be-
Heye know the remedy, but am
going to wait for someone else to
name It.
AS suggested by Mr., Crosby, we
should work together in harmony for
the common good Of all the people
because pulling. this ar that one down
will not in tie least raise you and
when this Ii the rule we shall all
fall together.
Yours for better conditions,

Empire is displaying good faith toward the we'll

Still, there disturbing reports IS to the real
purpose of this apparently praiseworthy conduct. Be
cause, be it known. there well-defined rumors
that Japan intends to destroy the great Russian port
OF Vladivosok by diverng traffic from the Chinese
Eastern Railway to the japanese port Dairen
(Port Arthur.
AS reported from interested circles this is to be
accomplished
First-By establishing preferential rates from
Hardin to Dairen
Secondly changing the gauge of the Eastern
Railway from the Russian standard o five feet to
TIE gauge of the tracks of the South Manchura line
from Chang Chun to Daren, which is four feet eight
and one half inches.
The first of these plans already is being executed.
This was brought about by pretended negotiations
between the japanese Government and the admin
isration OF the Eastern and South Manchuran rail
it has been begun the allegation is offered that
preparations are being rapidly perfected. This can
be performed almost overnight, as railroad history
shows.
The effect of this action will be practically to
isolate Nladivostok and retain with the same
stroke the political and commercial advantages APP
parently sacrificed by the evacuation Retention of
advantages means in turn the continuance OF the
dominant position the Asiatc mainland and the
inhibition of the other nations desiring share in

must come to the aid of the nations who have
