How anxious women ought to bo to give their children the blessing of a good constitution I Many women long for a child to bless their homo, but because of some debility or displacement of the female organs, they are barren. Preparation for healthy maternity is accomplished by Lydia E. Pinlfhnm’s Vegetable Compound more successfully than by any other medicine, because it gives tone and strength to the pai ts, curing all displacements aud inflammation. Actual sterility in woman is very rare. If any woman thinks she is sterile, let her write to 31 rs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., whose advice is given free to all expectant or would-be mothers. The medicine that instantly asserts its curative powers in the ills of women is Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. The Medicine that Lydia E. Pinkham’s has Cured the Ills of r, TlTt 7, < a Million Women is Vegetable Compound* Read These Two Remarkable Cures. “Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — Durin" the early part of my married life I was very delicate in health. I had two mis carriages and both my husband and I felt very badly as we were anxious to have children. A neighbor who had been using Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound ad vised me to try it, and I decided to do so. I soon felt that my appetite was increasing, the headaches gradually de creased and finally disappeared, and my general health im proved. I felt as if new blood coursed through my veins, the sluggish, tired feeling disappeared, and I became strong and well. “ Within a year after, I became the mother of a strong, healthy child, the ioyof out home. You certainly have a splen did remedy, and i wish every mother knew of it. Sincerely yours, Alas. Anna Potts, 510 Park Ave., Uot Springs, Ark.” “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — I was married for five years, and gave, birth to. two premature children. After that I took Lydia E. Pinklium's Vegetable Compound, and it changed me from a weak, nervous woman to a strong, happy and healthy wife within seven months. Within two years a lovely little girl was born, which is the pride and joy of our household. If every woman who is cured feels as grateful and happy as I do, you must have a host of friends, for every day 1 bless you for the light, health and happiness your Vegetable Compound has brought to my home.

WasHINGT n, D C , January 28 — The democrats of the House of Rep resentatives, under the leadership of the Hon John Sharp Williams, are lining up in solid array against the republican party and all it stands for- The democratic party in this House is going to stand for something be sides negation, something besides mere obstruction of republican tactics. Hitherto this has been the height of the ambition of the democrats floor leader. If he could line up the democrats to oppost anything that the republicans suggested he seemed satisfied, and let matters go at that Not so with John Sharp Williams He wants the democratic party to stand for something positive, and he intends to do so if the demccrats who are the leaders of the party on the floor of the H“use will back him up In hie intentions. He will have a conference once a week with the leading democratic members on every committee in the House, bikI ascertain exactly whut is coming one of the committee and what is before it in the shape of leg (elation II any of the legislation is worthy of consideration from a party Standpoint, a meeting of all the dem ocratlc members of tbe committee Will be called and a fight opened up on the republican measure and a sub stitute offered and fought for with might and mam. He will thus or ganize a standing “elb >w-to-elbow” movement, and quit the old endless and endlessly unsuccessful, game of merely opposing things without hav ing anything to put lithe place ot the things opposed. H<* intends to organize, if he can, an affirmative de mocracy in the Houee at any rate and through the House in the entire coun try. His watchword from now on Will be “face front, forward march,’ and charge the enemy at every point of the line, keeping off tbe defensive ourselves and put him on it. The p-. publican party is right now the parry of negation in tne country. Ii is in favor of ‘ standing pat” and “letting well enough alone ” as if things i ver were we'l enough in this poor world of ours He is going to organize an at tack ill along the line so that one of two thir gs will happen : we will either break their line or elB” they will cease to “stand pat,” We will put them where they dare not stand paton Canadian reciprocity where tiny dure not stand pat In still further ignoring recommendations of tbe Interstate Commerce Commission to adopt remedies to put an end to Injustice perpetrated by common car riers. His policy also will place them in tbe petition where they dare not stand pat on the methods of admin Istration which have obtained In the Post Office Department, and In other branches of the government. Hi- policy is along the lines of a't aggres Sive democracy, and it will do more to unite the party and put It In fight lug trim for the great camoaign this year than anything that can come to the aaslatauoe of the party at this payers of the country in one respect, a«d he has taken a pot shot at a very lively abuse that has been growing at a rapid rate tinder the last two repub lican administrations. He is the Hon.

Mr. Lan dis has seen tnis abuse, and he has had the manhood and the patriotism to hit at it, and it is to be hoped he will smash it. My hat is off to Mr. Landis. More power to his eiho v.
