The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or understands how to properly care for herself. Os course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for tho trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with ample time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. In many homes - once childless there 7/i I are now children tye- (iy (g , cause of the fact 1 r i that Lydia E.

BRYAN ADVISES SUSTAIN WllSOli By Electing Entire Democratic State Ticket in Indiana. CONGRESSMEN COMMENDED Legislation Favorable to the Comiror People Already Enacted Justifies Endorsement by the Voters of the Country. Indianapolis. Oct. 12.—The “Great Commoner,” Wm. J- Bryan, closed a triumphal tour of Indiana in this city Saturday night. Tomlinson Hall was crowded to its capacity, both seating and standing, and thousands were turned away. Bryan is still the idol of Hoosier democracy, and as the years go by that popularity increases as the people understand him better —the purity of his motives and his lofty ideals of a government conducted by and for the people as a whole and not for special interests. Mr. Bryan, though tired and worn because of the many speaking engagements, was in good voice and the great audience was with him from start to finish. Ills plea was for a vote of confidence to President Wilson by electing the democratic state

and congressional tickets in Indiana. It had been possible through the assistance of Senators Kern and Shively and Congressman Korbly and the other democratic congressmen from Indiana to effect the great reforms already accomplished. To defeat the state ticket and the congressmen would mean the national administration would be discredited at home and abroad and paralyze it from making further reforms. After being introduced by Gov. Ralston, Mr. Bryan said, In part: Feels at Home in Indiana. "I have been coming to Indiana for so many years during campaigns, I have begun to feel there would not be a campaign unless I came to talk to you,” he said in beginning his speech. “In fact, I have come to Indiana so often that I could almost greet many of you by your given names. I have come once again to *“]k y° u an d to urge you this time to shov',' y ou r confidence in your state ticket, in.j’ our splendid governor, your state administration and in President Wilson. “I am not the young man you first learned to know, and I do not kno* how much longer I can keep up these campaigns, but I figure on about twontv years more. You are a great lot of neople here in Indiana. You have been fighting for twenty years, and I have been fighting for twenty years; in fact, the only peace I had was when I was in the army. “In the other days I came here to tell you what you could expect if the government were given over to the Democratic party, and I am free to admit now that half of the good things were not told. “I want to plead with you for a vote of confidence in the national administration because that is what .your vote is going to mean. I am near enough to the president to know him, to know his sincerity of purpose, his devotion to the peoole of thir country and his unflinching courage in their interests to take more interest in this campaign than I ever did in one in which I was interested. Deception of Republican Press. “I want to warn you against the efforts which are now being made tc mislead you. The republicans are now going up and down this state, afraid to attack the president and the national administration, but trying to persuade you there is no connection between the state and the national ticket. I want to tell you that when the republicans were in power at Washington they could always see the connection, and I want to warn you now they will preach the same story for about four weeks. Then if they are successful there will be another story told immediately after the election, and that is the word they will send broadcast throughout the country that Indiana has repudiated President Wilson; Indiana has repudiated democracy and has been reclaimed by the republicans. I want to call your attention to an editorial appealing in The Indianapolis Star, under date of September 30. “The writer says in this editorial that it is not President Wilson that is in this campaign. He says it is not what President Wilson has done, but what Kern, Shively and the democratic congressmen of Indiana have dene that is the issue. The man that I wrote that knew he was trying to I

feedtve you. Ho knew better, but he hoped that you would not, and now if he wants to know what they have done I am here to tell you. Not a One-Man Government. “This is not a one-man government. No executive action can be taken by the president of this country unless it is ratified by the house and the senate. Now, what have Shively and the congressmen of Indiana done? They have remained firm in their support of the President; they have upheld his hands and when the President asked for anything there were the votes of Kern and Shively in the senate and the other Indiana con-g-essmen in the house supporting him. That is what they have done and I want to ask you if there is any reason why the splendid statu ticket you now have before you should be defeated because the candidates arc going up and down this state making the fight and using all the influence there is possible to continue democracy, to return to the support of the President the men who nave been supporting him. No, the republicans know better than that of which they are speaking now. Wilson Set a Nation Free. “We now have a low tariff. It is a good tariff law, better than I believed ■ we could put through. 1 have beer, taking part in campaigns for thirty-1 four years. That is seventeen con-1 gressional campaigns and during all I that time I can never remember the time that the people of this country have not been made the Victims of an endeavor to frighten them with the thoughts of a panic every time the democrats mentioned the tariff. But the republicans say they could have given this country a low tariff. And if you ask the Roosevelt republicans why Taft did not give this country a low tariff, they will say he was not progressive, and yet Roosevelt had about twice as long to do nothing and he did just about as well. “But we now have a low tariff law, the best tariff law we have had since the war. We had a good tariff law in ’93, but conditions have changed and v e now have a better one. When President Wilson signed that tariff law he did one thing for this country tuat will live for a decade at least and that is he set a nation free and tomorrow you can go to the polls to cast your vote as you desire. “He declared that President Wilson is the first chief executive who has had the courage to ‘strike the ax a; the root of the tree,” and that the Republicans did not strike at the root “because they were leaning against the tree and could not have it fall on them. “But w.hen President Wilson signed the low tariff bill and the next morning the sun arose as usual, the fertility of the soil was not decreased and the panic did not come, the people began to realize there never had t?en a combination between the Almightv and the Republican party. Banks Freed From Wall Street. Leaving the tariff question, Mr. Bryan took vp the income tax passed by the present Democratic Congress. He explained the operation of the law, saying that not one man in ten will be affected by it for the reason that it applies only to those having splendid incomes. After praising the passage and the I provisions of the income tax law, Mr. Bryan took up the currency act. Since its enactment the center of finances in this country has been in Washington, and not in Wall Street, | where it had been while the repub- | licans were in office, he aserted. He declared the Wilson administration, through the President and Secretary | McAdoo, has forced Wall Street out I of the control of the money market. “‘Under the currency law the financial center has been moved from Wall Street to Washington,’ Secretary Bryan said. ‘Washington is only 20 miles from New York—so close fr.at. a lobbyist can get on a train at midnight in New York and reach Washington in time to talk to tha senators before the opening of the senate. And yet, while Washington is so close to New York, it has taken forty years to drag the financial center from there to Washington. Republicans Against Income Tax. “Along with the tariff we have an income tax law. I suppose that I have been called more hard names through my agitation for an income tax law than for any other reason. They have ranged all the way from distributer of the peace to anarchist and demagogue was away station. But now as I look back over the days when I fought for a 2 per cent, income tax law and now look at the law making assesments of from 1 to 7 per cent.. I wonder at the modesty of my youth. “The republicans were not in favor of an income tax law. The income tax law takes from the back of the poor much of the burden of unequal taxation which they have had to carry and asks tribute from the pockets of those whose income is more than $3,000 a year. Less than nine-tenths of the people of this country are affected by the income tax and the proportion of democrats is far less than that. But the republicans have had control of this government for so many years they have been enabled to amass fortunes, pile up money and now they are complaining because we are reaching out with the hand of the government and saying you must, give part of it back. “Well, if they’ ask you now what Kern and Shively and the Indiana democratic congressmen have done, go back and tell them they have helped the President pass a low tariff law and on income tax law. “And if it had not been for senators like Shively and representatives like Korbly, President Wilson would never have been able to accomplish these things.” The Vote Unanimous. Mr. Bryan asked those in the audience who believed the new plan to be an improvement on the old one to raise their hands. Every hand in the audience was raised. He then asked to see the hands of those who believed the old plan to be the best, but there was no response. ‘And yet the republican newspapers will tell you to defeat men likle Shively and men like Korbly, knowing full well, when thev tell you i that, that if they ar® defeated prog I ress ic congress will stop. » — ir
