This woman says Lydia E.
Pinkham’a Vegetable Compound
saved her life. Head her letter.
Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning,
Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
“ I can truly say that Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound saved my
life, and 1 cannot express my gratitude
to you in words. For years I suffered
with the worst forms of female oom-
plaints, continually doctoring and
■pending lots of money for medicine
without help. I wrote you for advice,
ifollowed it as directed, and took Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
it has restored me to perfect health.
Had it not been for you I should have
been in my grave to-day. I wish every
suffering woman would try it.”
FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs, has been the
standard remedy for female ills,
and has positively cured thousands of
women who have been troubled with
displacements, inflammation, ulcera-
tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodio pains, backache, that bear-
ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges-
tion,dizziness,or nervous prostration
Why don’t you try it ?
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick
women to write her for advice.
She has guided thousands to
health. Address, Lynn, Mass.

During Prosperous Times, Provision
for the Future Is Ignored, and
Natural Laws Afterward Ex-
act the Penalty.
During the past ten years the busi-
ness of the United States has in-
creased In greater ratio than the pop-
ulation. The wealth of the country
has also expanded In a like manner.
Alarm has been expressed in the pub-
lic press and from the rostrums as to
the danger of the mammoth accumu-
lations of wealth by a few in control
of different industries. Great stress is
laid upon the contention that in these
vast accumulations of individual
wealth there are elements that men-
ace our free institutions.
How came about this aggregation
of great wealth Is a question that
suggests itself. What particular con-
ditions allowed the aggregation of
such pyramids of money? Money is
merely a representative of value, a
medium for the exchange of com-
modities necessary in civilization. The
values represented by money have as
their standard labor, service, bene-
fits. That there is danger in the se-
questering of the circulating medium
of the land and its equivalent in prop-
erty, cannot be well denied. He who
gains great wealth by exceptional or
superior talents and by honest effort
in combining circumstances to work
to his advantage, is as much entitled
to this wealth as is the toiler whose
ability to do is limited to the earning
of a few paltry dollars daily. But it
is what can be done with vast wealth
that is the question! It can be used
for either good or evil. It depends
upon the individual who possesses it.
Money is a power for good as well as
being “the root of all evil.”
During the past decade the United
States has never been more pros-
perous. Within the past few months
there has been financial stringency, a
reaction and a swinging back of the
pendulum in a compensating way.
This to the logician is merely the re-
sult of the workings of natural law.
The husbandman does not always ex-
pect under natural conditions equal
crops. A succession of large crops
covering a period of four or five
years will most likely be followed by
poorer crops for a season or two.
Financial successes as well as panics
alternate. There is a period of prog-
ress beyond the ordinary and then a
decline. But it is possible for natural
laws to be directed in a manner to
better serve the people. Such wizards
as Burbank, understanding the laws
of progeneration and properly direct-
ing these laws, has brought into exist-
ence highest perfection in plant life.
By a like exercise of high intelligence
it is possible to control the accummu-
latlons of wealth, or rather to control
the distribution of wealth and to pro-
tect against so-called panics.
The United States has 86,000,000 of
people. Three-fifths of these people
reside outside of large cities and
towns. With prosperity coming to
them they have been neglectful of a
duty to the sections wherein they re-
side, and have allowed systems to
withdraw to the large financial cen-
ters their surplus earnings. These
earnings have found their way as in-
vestments in large corporations. These
large corporations, which give strength
and stability to the country in a com-
mercial way. by manipulations of
those in control of them, by stock
gambling and other forms of specula-
tion, have evil elements which attach
the stigma of dishonesty to great com-
binations for control of Industrie^
While the per capita productioq of
wealth within the United States has
been great, it is evident ftat the
masses of those who have created it
by their labor have not received their
full quota of compensation. For this
the workers themselves are to blame.
They have assisted along the unequal
distribution of their earnings by ig-
noring Ample principles of economy;
and by so doing they have helped con
centrate the wealth of the land in the
hands of a comparative few. Were
the money invested and' spent in the
large cities by the people of agricul-
tural communities, invested in local
enterprises, Just so much would have
been done to guard against concentra-
tion. Were the millions sent to the
large cities for goods, that might as
well be purchased at homo, retained
within the communities where the dol-
lars were earned, the distribution of
wealth would be more equitable.
Thus it can be seen that the pro-
ducers. the workers, the masses in
the agricultural districts have care-
lessly assisted in bringing about con-
ditions bordering upon panic. Depres-
sion in financial lines works to the
detriment of the poorer classes. When
there is a scarcity of circulating
medium, pricea are forced to the low-
est level. Thus those with money can
buy at lowest prices. When the
pendulum swings the other way and
valueB advance, the fortunate pos-
sessor of wealth who bought in a low
market finds hiB wealth Increased.
Panics can be averted by the masses
if only proper Judgment be used dur-
ing .times of prosperity, and provision
made for equalization and for few con-
tingencies. In each local community
this can be provided for best by keep-
ing within that community the surplus
earnings of the people instead of send-
ing the surplus elsewhere. The remedy
la a simple one.
V. M. CARS.
about the farmers and others sending
to distant places for goods, while at
tho same time the farmers are forced
by the merchants to send their pro-
duce to some other place while the
merchants ship In the same class of
products that the farmers are send-
ing out?
In the home patronage matter there
is nothing so wholesome as reci-
procity. Do the merchants always
give preference to home-grown pota-
toes, to the products supplied by the
local hens, to the output of the local
creameries? Do the merchants al-
ways show' a good example by patron-
izing their brother tradesmen? Or
do they at times send to the city for
the clothes they wear; the piano for
their daughter, the wagon they use
in delivering goods, etc.?
There are a lot of narrow-minded,
short-sighted men in the mercantile
business as well as on the farmB.
Thero is a lot of selfishness In the
average of humanity, and this maul
tests itself now and then in censur-
ing others for doing that which we
feel justified In doing ourselves.
Many merchants seem to think that
there is only one side to the home
patronage proposition; that it is the
duty of the farmer to buy everything
at home regardless of whether the
merchant buys his flour from the
home mill, or whether he sends away
for the potatoes which he sells, in-
stead of buying them from the local
farmers.
Then, again, merchants are as blind
now and then to their own interests
as are the farmers. The merchant
seeks to squeeze the last cent of
profit from the farmer and thereby
loses trade, as well as the farmer
trying to save a ■ feW niggardly pen-
nies and getting “bit” by the distant
mail-order concern. There is such a
thing as equity, be it understood, and
there is such a thing as compensation.
The merchant who gives the farmers
of his community a square deal and
shows the proper kind of enterprise is
hardly ever heard complaining about
the mail-order house or the depart-
ment stores injuring his trade. But
the merchant who is intent upon play-
ing a "dead cinch” game is forever
howling. The home patronage matter
is mainly up to the merchants of
the small towns. People resid-
ing in the country are pretty fair-
minded. They want decent treat-
ment. They like consistency. They
will even pay the live, reliable, honest
merchant a higher price for goods
than they will the distant mail-order
concern or the surething department
store, or. the scalliwag merchant who
is always out to beat somebody out of
a few cents.
Great Society Really Founded by Wil-
liam Mooney and Had Ita Incep-
tion in Hatred of the
Tories.
PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. I.
Tammany was founded by William
Mooney, an Irishman by descent, an
American by birth, an upholsterer by
trade, and, according to Success, an
organizer and doubtless an agitator
by instinct.
Mooney and most of the men asso-
ciated in the founding of Tammany
had been members of the Sons of Lib-
erty. With the close of the revolution
tills society was disbanded, it being
assumed that its work was done.
The suspicions of the proletariat
were aroused 'when Alexander Hamil-
ton threw his powerful influence and
protection over the hated Tories.
They found themselves powerless to
prevent to qffice men known to have
beeu Royalists.
They had no votes with which to
prevent this, and the proud patricians
smiled scornfully as they paused at
the doors of coffee houses and tav-
erns and listened to the denunciation
of these landless and therefore dis-
franchised patriots.
Conspicuous among the resorts fre-
quented by our ancestral New York
proletariat was Barden’s, or the City
Tavern. This was located on Broad-
way, not far from Bowling Green, and
within a stone’s throw of the present
Standard Oil building.
The tavern was the forum of popu-
lar debate In those days, and if we
were permitted to examine the orig-
inal drafts of many famous and pa-
triotic documents we would likely find
them stained with ale and Jamaica
rum. It was a day when the preacher
drank his toddy from the pulpit and
In which neither temperance nor
abstinence was esteemed as virtues.
William Maclay and Robert Morris
were the flrBt senators from Pennsyl-
vania and both attended the initial
session of congress in New York city.
.Senator Maclay kept a journal of its
proceedings, and his comments and
deductions are the delight of close
students of history. Under date of
May 12, 1790, we find this entry:"
“This day exhibited a grotesque
scene in the Btreets of New York. Be-
ing the old first of May, the Sons of
St. Tammany had a grand street
parade thrombi the town in Indian
dress. I delivered a talk at one of
their meeting houses and went away*
to dinner.
"There seems to be some sort - of
scheme laid of erecting some sort of
order or society under this denomina-
tion, but it does not seem well di-
gested as yet. The expense of the
dresses must have been' considerable,
and the money laid out on clothing
might have dressed some of their rag-
ged beggars. But the weather is now
warm.”
This rugged and fearless old hater
of royalty and aristocracy had partici-
pated in the celebration of the first
anniversary of the founding of the
Society of Tammany.
Carried Off Her Dead Baby.
Some strange and grewsome idea
has led a French woman, presumably
not sane, to disinter her dead baby
twice, and to disappear the second
time with the body. She was first
seen apparently tampering with a
grave In a cemetery near Arpajon, So
the south of Paris, and was found to
have laid upon It a baby's remains.
She had dug these up from another
cemetery and wanted to Inter them
again in her husband’s grave. The
remains were taken from her, and
placed in a provisional tombB. A few
dayo later the latter was found to
have been broken open, and the body
had disappeared. A few days before
the woman had announced her inten-
tion of making off with the remains,
as she wanted to have her dead baby

PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENT8 are prominently incorporated in the
label on the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna

The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the oondnot of

If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only,
then the medical fraternity would be obliged to reoognin Peruna as being
entirely within their approval.
BUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS.
We «baii continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue to

continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to use
our medicine, teaching them how to avoid disease, teaching them many things

profession like it or not
We are proposing from this time on to take t he publio into our confidence.
Notwithstanding that some imitators and substitutors will be attempting to
put up something which they consider just as good as Peruna, we are going to
draw aside tho veil of secrecy and allow any one who chooses to know exactly

This ought to disarm all honest criticism. We expect, however, that crit-

Parable of the Foolish Citizen.
Once there was a good man who
labored hard on the farm, and on
each Sunday went religiously tc
church In time he gained sufficient
wealth to move into a near-by town,
where all his children were afforded a
chance for acquiring an education.
For all his supplies he sent to a dis-
tant city. He opposed every proposi-
tion to pave the streets of the place,
fo Improve the very schools his chil-
dren attended, and when the assessor
visited him ho was verily a pauper
for taxation purposes. This man was
a highly moral man, a pillar in the
church, and even worked a soap-club
deal in order to secure for the Sun-
day school an organ. At last he died'.
It is recorded that he entered the
pearly gates for which he long hoped
and prayed. The streets were goldeu,
and there was beauty on every side.
He marveled; became enraptured
with nil he saw. To some angels
standing by he spoke: “This place
must have cost a pile of money?”
"Yes,’’ replied one of the white-winged
altendants, "but it has been paid for
below. Each one coming here must
help bear the burden of taxes—” Just
then a saintly-looking man approached
with a book, and the new arrival from
the farm took one look at him, and

Need of Lessons In Economy.
A number of state agricultural de-
partments have inaugurated a series
of farmers’ institutes. At these meet-
ings, the science of agriculture in its
various phases is ably discussed by
able authorities. It appears that it
would be advantageous to take up
other matters relative to farm life, as
well as merely tho science of farming
Lessons in simple economy could be
given to farmers and their wives, par-
ticularly along the lines of country
development, of the essentials in
building up the country and protec-
tion of local industries. This field
alone offers a wide latitude for ener-
getic work. The farmer should under-
stand principles upon which commerce
is based, as well as being versed in
the growing of produce, which is the
basis of commerce.

How Monopolies Are Assisted.
During tho past few months, mall
order houses located in the large
cities have been making more than
ordinary efforts to gain trade. These
efforts have been stimulated by the
panicky times. Residents of agricul-
tural communities should understand
that concentration of money in large
financial centers was the main cause
of bringing on the financial depression
They should also understand that tho
mail order system is one of the most
pdfcnt factors in this concentration;
that this system draws the life-blood,
the surplus money, from communities
where it Is earned, taking It out of
local circulation and using it to build
up monopolies in the large cities.
