20 Years of Stomach
and Kidney Trouble
Trouble All Gone Now. Backache
Quit. Eats Anything.

81 suffered with stomach trouble for
twenty years. I was bloated and at
times felt as if there was a rock
lying in the pit Of my stomach. My
kidneys were weak and disturbed me
during the night. Ny back ached all
the time. Nothing 1 ate did me any
good, and 1 tried different medicines
without improving. Then friend told
me to try viuna. The first bottle made
me feel better and so I kept right on.
When 1 started in 1 only weighed 145
pounds; now weigh 1877 pounds, a
gain Of II pounds, and | feel fine.
Don't have any trouble with my stom-
ach, any more and can sit down to the
table and eat good hearty meal with
out one bit of fear. l don't have any
trouble with my kidneys and back,
either. All the pains have gone. My
constipation Is entirely gone, and I
want to say Viuna did it all."-Chas.
L. Scott, $50 East Maryland st., Indi-
annapolis, Ind.
Viuna acts promptly on sluggish
bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. 1t
purifies the blood, clears the skin, re-
stores appetite and digestion, and brings
new strength and energy to the whole
body. Take a bottle on trial. Then If
you're not glad you tried Viuna, your
money will be refunded. 81 at druggists,

INDUSTRIAL CHyTtLRY

The leaders of the American Woman's Party
very Indignant because the Suffrage Alliance Congress
in Paris refused to admit them recognize their main
idea, wherein they differ from the League Of Women
Voters
This idea is the industrial equality of men and
men. SO determined is the Womans Party this that
il objects to all legislative control Of won29ns
hours, etc, for their protection
This is not question of personalities but of prin-
ciples. A majority of the delegates at Paris
opposed such a stand, just majority of men and
women both have opposed it in this country.
Women have political and educational equality
with Economic equality may sound we'll a
catch phrase, but it ignores basic fact of life.
Woman cannot be mans economic equal unless
stops bearing children in which there will
soon be no more men or women. Home and children
will probably be for ages if not forever the chief job
of in general. The average woman will prob
ably have an 'outside job" a. time in her life,
and may have it along with her home job But the
age woman will never be able to compete with the av-
erage in the outside job because tha is his only
Job, and he thus has inevitable advantage If she
tries she will probably lose out Job the
oSher .
Society naturally regards the home lob as the
more important for woman, and protects it, if
sary the expense Of her other Job Society there
fore through legislation, usually insists nowadays on
and buSness, 50 that such work does not unduy dis
qualify them for home duties. II this 5 wrong then
ii is wrong to perpetuate the human
