The local committee for the Yeomen celebration are planning for a big occasion but will not proceed to any length until the confirmation of the date has been received. This is expected within a day or two and from that time on until the third week of July they will be a busy bunch and will need the assistance of every booster in the community. The world grows better. According to reports made at the meeting ot Retail Credit Men's National Association at Cleveland the “dead beat," meaning those who never pay bills, are passing. It was agreed that the females ot the species was more deadly than the male and that the correction has been made by co-oper-ation and education. President Harding doesn’t seem to care a rap about any thing else in congress, just so they take care of the ship subsidy bill and those who will thus be benefitted. In the meantime all else must be sidetracked and he nas notified the bosses that unless they do business he will call a special session. Pretty good for an executive wdio declares congress must run their own business.

BEFORE BABY COMES

Watchful Care of Health Necessary Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a Marvelous Help

West Orange, N. J.— ‘ I was very nervous and upset for six months before my baby was born. One of my friends told me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s VegetaDie Compound and I have taken it for five months now. I have a big boy who weighed almost nine pounds at birth and Ido all my nousework and don’t feel a bit nervous or upset any more. I still take your medicine and have told all my »riends what good it has done me.”— Mrs. Margaret Gregory, 440 Valley Road, West Orange, N. J. West New York, N. J.—“ The first two months I carried my baby I was in bed almost every day with sick headaches. I tried Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and the first bottle helped we. I took seven more and I know I couldn’t feel better than I did. The headaches stopped and I was able to do my own work. I have a baby girl six months old who weighs twenty pounds and is the picture of health.”—Mrs. J. McCoy,2o7 20th St., West New York, N. J. Nervous and Run-Down Biloxi, Miss. — “Just a word of praise of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I took it with wonderful results before my baby was born. I was so nervous and run-down that I was a wreck of misery. I had pains in my sides and back so bad that I could not stay still or sleep nights. My husband was reading your ”d.’ in the paper and I decided to try

If the crime era in this country continues, why not Import a few ship loads of "cats?" r. .... -■■■l The railroads now fear a freight car shortage tn the fall. It's tunny how these car shortages always come just before an election and right afterwards when they are try ing to reduce wages, they have mile after mile of side tracks crowded with them. There is a lot of bunk in big business that prevents ordinary people being in sympathy with their various campaigns. The democrats of the eighth district have started the organization tor the lull campaign and by so doing they show wisdom. Too often we wait until a month before election day and then find the time all too short to accomplish what is desired Mr. Chambers, the state chairman has the right idea and you may feel assured that he will get the democratic message to the people. State Chairman Walter Chambers has worked out a plan for raising funds for the democratic campaign which it is believed will be very successful. Cards will be circulated and subscriptions paid by the month. If each person interested in reducing taxes will sign and pay, there will be plenty of money, more interest and better results. You are invited to become a stockholder and to assist in making the campaign a big success. President Cleveland once said that he “had congress on his hands.” That is Mr. Harding's present embarrassment, and the country can sympathize with him, because it must be almost as tired ts he is of the way Chings'“are going.

People said that because I was so young I would never pull through and I praise your Vegetable Compound for my good health.’’—Mrs. Enoch J. Stevens, 889 Fayard St., Biloxi, Miss. Chicago, Ill.—“I recommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for all prospective mothers. I suffered from weakness and faint spells and had to lie down twice a day for an hour or so before I could go on with my work. My cousin, who lives in Wisconsin, has used your Vegetable Compound for over five years and she came to us for a visit and she recommended it to me, saying she would pay for the bottle if it did not help me. I took that bottle and got more, as I found it gave me great relief. I recommend it to my friends and sisters and am willing for you to use these facts to help others.” — Mrs. I. J. Kubinski, 1813 W. 17th Sc., Chicago, Illinois. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound should be taken by expectant mothers. It will assist them in keeping well and strong. This is necessary not only for their own comfort but for the future as well. It helped these women. It has helped many others.
