He stressed the statement of the Marion county official who gave a strong indorsement to the machines and asserted they would save more money, even, than Mr. Bowman had calculated. Again taking the floor, Mr. Freeman made a plea for a thorough try out of the Empire machine. "If citizens want to know whether voting machines are good to buy" he said, "the only way they can find out is to give them a test." A member of the club asked that II. L. Haywood present the results of Investigations made during the past two months. Mr. Haywood said that many who indorse the machines do so after a very superficial knowledge of them. Receives a Jolt.

"My kindly feeling toward the machine received its first jolt," he said, "while discussing the question informally with a patent attorney of Illinois. This gentleman is familiar with all the ins and outs of the patent game and said he would consider it very unwise for any county to purchase the machines inasmuch as legal tangles and lawsuits are almost sure to come. The Interior mechanism of a vote device, he said, 'is covered by different patents. The patentees have kept up continual litigation and will continue to do so for years to come.' " Mr. Haywood then presented the reasons for turning down Mr. Freeman's proposition. "One or two trials" he urged," will prove nothing. Any machine will work well when new. The business-like thing to do is to learn what has been the experience of those communities with prolonged experience. These men in Indiana who indorse the devices so freely have not had sufficient time really to learn their merits or defects. New Jersey used them for years, long enough to find out just what they will do, and then threw them out by majorities ranging from six to one, to ten to one. Points Out Defects. "To show they have given satisfaction in many cases does not warrant their use; it is only necessary to show once they can be manipulated in order jto make them a dangerous proposition. If they can once be manipulated they can as many times in other places as occasion requires. "The Empire machine does not meet the requirements of the Indiana statute. That law demands that every vote device furnish an absolutely secret ballot; the Empire machine does not furnish it, nor, 1 understand, does any other. The law requires, also, that

it be made possible for a man to vote

by the Club as to the desirability of

buying voting machines at the present time."

The Family Cough Medicine. In every home there should be a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery, ready for immediate use when any member of the family contracts a cold or a cough. Prompt use will stop the spread of sickness. S. A. Stid, of Mason, Mich., writes: "My whole family depends upon Dr. King's New Discovert as the best cough and cold medicine in the world. Two 50c bottles cured me of pneumonia." Thousands of other families have been equally benefited and depend entirely upon Dr. King's New Discovery to cure their coughs, colds, throat and lung troubles. Every dose helps.

A prominent Philadelphia physician says: "If, on discontinuing coffee, you feel tired, languid, and 'out of sorts,' the coffee had better be forever discontinued, for you are on the verge of inebriety."

Thousands of people have taken warning and proved that coffee was the cause of their headaches, biliousness and nervousness. A great many former coffee drinkers, feeling the need of a hot drink with meals, now use

It is flimsily constructed with wheels and cogs of stamped metal. To ask $750 for such a mechanism is very unreasonable. The chief stockholders of the concern gave the real reason for this exorbitant price when he said it cost them so large a percentage to place them in counties. "Voters are bewildered by the complexity of the mechanism. They are confronted by nine rows of fifty columns and must pull a number of levers in case a ticket is scratched. "Devices may be contrived whereby a corrupt election inspector may control an election and render the will of the voters inoperative. "Other devices may be used by corrupted voters who are able to disfranchise a number of voters following. Easily Damaged. "Trouble is had everywhere with the machines on account of the frequency with which they become out of order. "Machines are still in the experimental stage. Even recently the Empire, here under consideration, was displaced by the Triumph as the first place machine. "Mr. Freeman pleaded for a trial by local voters. On trial would prove little. But in other states and cities where an extended trial has been made covering long periods and where the question has been referred to the people they have rejected the mechan-

Woman Tells How She Was Cured by Reliable Skin Remedy. Mrs. M. J. Downing, 2527 Rucker avenue, Everett, Wash., says: "I want to tell you how I was cured by Saxo Salve. I had a breaking out on my forehead and all around my ears, and some on my scalp, which was very annoying . I tried different remedies without benefit and went into Darling's drug store, thinking to get some other remedy, but Mr. Darling wanted me to try Saxo Salve. I did so and it certainly cured my trouble in a very short time, and also my sister had scalp trouble, which it cured. I would willingly recommend it to every one and am very grateful for the relief." In all kinds of eczema, salt rheum, tetter, barber's itch, etc., Saxo Salve has wonderful healing power, because its healing antiseptic properties penetrate the skin pores, and destroy the germs of disease.

From 40 to 50 Woman's Critical Period. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, severe headaches, melancholia, dread of impending evil, palpitation of the heart, irregularity, constipation and dizziness are promptly treated by intelligent women who are approaching the period of life. This is the most critical period of woman's life and she who neglects the care of her health at this time invites incurable disease and pain. Why not be guided by the experience of others and take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound? It is an indisputable fact that this grand old remedy has helped thousands of women to pass through this trying period with comfort and safety. Thousands of genuine and honest testimonials support this fact. From Mrs. HENRY IIEAVILIX, Cadiz, Ohio. Fort Worth, Texas. "I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and derived great benefit from its use. It carried me safely through the Change of Life when I was in bad health.. I had that all gone feeling most of the time, and headache constantly, I was very nervous and the hot flashes were very bad. I had tried other remedies and doctors, but did not improve until I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It has now Wn sometime since I took the Compound and I have had no return of mvold complaints. I always praise j-our remedies to weak women."' 3Irs. Henry; IIeavilix, R. F. D. No. 5, Cadiz, Ohio. From 3Irs. EDWARD B. IIILBERT, Fleetwood Pa. Fleetwood, Pa." During the Change of Life I was hardly able to be around at all. I always had a headache and I was so tlizzy and nervous that I had no rest at night. The flashes of heat were so bad sometimes that I did not know what to do. 44 One day a friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Ve-e-table Compound and it made me a strong, well woman. I am very thankful that I followed my friend's adviee. and I shall recommend it as long as I live, lie fore I took the Compound I was alwavs sickly and now I have not had medicine from a doctor for years. You may publish my letter." Mrs. Edward B. Hilbert, Fleetwood, Pa. From Mrs. F. P. MULLENDORE, Munford, Ala. Munford, Ala. tt I was so weak and nervous while passing through the Change of Life that I could hardly live. My husband had to nail rubber on all the gates for I could not stand to have a gate slam.
