THIS YOUNG _MOTHER Tells Childless Women What Lydia E.Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Did for Her Millston, Wis.—” I want to give you a word of praise for your wonderful medicine. We are fond of children for a consider time after we I feared I not have any to my weak 1 began ng Lydia E. h a-nrs Vege table Compound and. I have a nica trong healthy baby girl. I can honestly I not suffer much mdra was born than I used to r periods before I took ham’s Vegetable Com pound years ago. I give all the credit to your medicine and shall always recom mend it very highly.” — Mrs. H. H. Janssen, Millston, Wisconsin. How can women who are weak and sickly expect or hope to become mothers of healthy children? Their first duty is to themselves. They should overcome the derangement or debility that is dragging them down, and strengthen the entire systepi, as did Mrs. Janssen, by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound and then they will do in a position to give their children the blessing of a good constitution.

MILBURN CO., BUFFALO. N. Y. DISEASE OF MANY PHASES. "What is encephalitis meningitis?" Mrs. V. R. W. writes: What are the symptoms? What are the chances of recovery of a boy 13 years old who has had it for 10 n/onths following an attack of inlluenzo? He is in what the doctors call its third stage—a sort of creeping paralysis affecting his right side. He walks with difficulty and at time^ he can scarcely feed- himself. His voice is shaky. He is sleeping very muchT bet ter than he has been and his appe tite and digestion are good. He weighs V6 pounds, a gain of 10 pounds since last summer." Answering your question, ixpresume you have in mind so-called lethargic en cephalitis or sleeping sickness. Accord ing to Drs. Dunn and Heagy, who de scribed the disease as it appears in America in the American Journal of Medical Sciences, about two-thirds of the cases get well. The longer it lasts the better the chance of recovery. On the basis of this opinion your boy has an excellent chance to recover. Many writers refer to after effects from which patients do not recover fully for a long time. However, very few cases have so many after effects as does this boy 10 months after the onset of the disease. It is not easy to answer the question as to the symptoms, since they are’‘not uniform. A patient generally begins by having some disturbance of vision. Dou ble vision is the trouble most frequently encountered. Soon lethargy develops. The patient seems to be in a natural deep sleep, from which he can be awakened and kept awake for a short time. At this stage it will be a fair guess that there is some trouble with the brain or cord or the membranes surrounding them and the physician will draw off some of the spinal fluid fbr microscopic and chemic examination. Neither examination will show any evidence of trouble. Drs. Dunn and Heagy say that the diagnosis rests on trouble with vision, lethargy, and a negative spinal fluid. Sweating is a prominent symptom. Another striking peculiarity is the lack of fever, considering the severity of the Illness. If there is any fever it is low' and it does not last long. In an analysis of the symptoms In 115 cases, double vision was the first symp tom in 19, and was present in 66. Dis turbance in one or another nerve con trolling eye muscles was present in 12 cases. In 16 cases there was paralysis of the great motor nerve of the face. There was lethargy In 79 cases. It was the first symptom noticed in 64. In somnia preceded the lethargy in four casee. .neaaacne was me nrsx symptom in 12 cases. Trembling was present in 35 cases and catalepsy in 2. Thus we see that no one symptom was present in all the cases. Nor was any combinations of symptoms present in every case. Is It any wonder that physicians disagree in their diagnoses sometimes? Tanon, reviewing the his tory of the disease in Fraace, says In 1920 the type changed from one In which lethargy dominated to one in which spasmodic contraction of mus cles, trembling, and nervous Irritability overshadowed the other symptoms. A Mexican Piece. wAh, Que' bonitos Son los enanos, Los chiquitltos, Y Mejicanos.” —Old Mexican Song. How jolly are the dwarfs, the little ones, the Mexicans, Hidden by the singing of wind through sugar cane. Out comes the pretty one. Out comes the ugly one. Out comes the dwarf with the wicked smile and thin. The little women caper and simper and flutter fans, The little men laugh, stamp, strut and stamp again, Dance to the bagpipe drone Of insect semitone Swelling from ground slashed with light like zebra skin. The little Cardinal, the humming bird whose feathers flare Like flame across the valley of volcanic stone, Like an arrow from a rainbow That the armored plants have lain low, Stops to watch the dwarfs as they dance out of sight. Hair long and black as jet. is floating yet on amber air, Honey shaded by the shadow of Popa catapetl’s cone; Their fluttering rebozos Like purple petal’d roses Fall through tropic din with a clatter of light. The crooked dwarf now ripples the strings of a mandolin, His floating voice has wings that bniafc us like a butterfly; Music fills the mountains With a riot of fountains That spray back on the hot plain like a waterfall. Smaller grow the dwarfs, singing *T11 bring shoes of satin,” Smaller they grow, fade to goldea motes, then die. Where is the pretty one, Where is the ugly one, Where is that tongue of flame, the little Cardinal? —O.

In returning to Midland matters, I can say I hope the time will soon come when this receivership will end and the property be leased or sold, possibly held ! by a trust company for a while and the' perpetrators of this great crime all pun ished.

S. to Probe Railway Heads. Chicago, March 15.—Dennis Lane, secretary treasurer of the Meat Cut ters and Butcher Workers, Monday night characterized the plan of Ar mour & Co- and Swift & Co. for “plant democracy,” as "bunk.” Those two packing companies Mon day announced they were going to give their employes a voice in plant management. The plan provides that employes elect delegates to a general board. The management will have an e<iual number of representatives on the board. This body will make recommenda tions on employment, wages, working conditions, sanitation, recreation and matters of interest to the men. Ex ecution, however, will remain in the hands of the management. This announcement enmo while both the packers and employes wem preparing for their conference next Monday with Secretary of Labor Davis, when the wage controversy will be mediated. ‘‘Public Won't Be Deoeived." "The public will not be deceived by this attempt to Blip one over,” said Mr. Lane. “Nor will the men become confused and stand for'Mt. Unfortunately for his purpose, Mr. Armour cuts wages arbitrarily. "Mr. Armour would now organize a company union which won't have the power to consider the cut and change in working schedules already effected. Instead, he says that the next time he wants to cut evages he will put it up to the board on which the labor side will have representa tion but which will be controlled by Mr. Armour.” ljunt* wui ue one oi me two men who will represent the unions at the conference Monday. He has asked that the heads of the packing houses be present. No Trouble At Omaha Plante. Samuel Gomperst president of the American Federation of Labor, will arrive in Chicago Tuesday to confer with union leaders. Although the men had threatened to strike Monday, they decided to await the outcome of the conference with Secretary Davis. There were no disturbances here. Dis patches from Omaha say the pack ing districts of that city are quiet. — TWO BIG FIVE HEADS ARRIVE IN WASHINGTON Washington, March 15.—Two rep resentatives of "the big five" packers arrlvcfi in Washington Monday to take part in a conference called by Secretary of Labor Davis to settle the dispute between the packing com panies and their employes relative to a 1214 per cent, decrease In wages which became effective Monday. Representatives of the packing house employes have not arrived. Secretary Davis Monday afternoon wired Dennis Lane, secretary of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butchers Workmen of North America, asking him to postpone the first meet ing of the arbitration council from Friday to Monday, March 21. The packers are represented by two Chicago attorneys, James G, Con don and Carol Meyer. One of the representatives of the packing house employes is expected to be Dennis Lane. The other has not been des ignated. At the request of Secretary Davis, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover and Secretary of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace, have consented to represent the government on the mediation board. CUYLER. ATTER^lHRV, GRAY TO TESTIFY Chicago, March 15.—At the request of Frank P. Walsh, attorney for the railroad brotherhoods, the federal wage board Monday summoned four railroad executives to testify at the wage hearing Wednesday morning. The men who have been called are T. DeWitt Cuyler, chairman of the railway executives association; Rob ert H. Binkerd, his assistant; W. W. Atterbury, vice president of the Pennsylvania lines, and Carl R. Gray, president of the Union Pacific. Mr. Walsh Informed the board it would be impossible for him to go on with his case unless he could question railway executives. He charged a conspiracy between the railroads and the packers to cut wages and increase working hours. “Thousands of jobless men and women are being driven to begging in order to get a place to sleep,” Mr Walsh said in charging that a con splracy exists to break labor unions. "When this board comes to con sider wage schedules,” he continued “the railroad owners will argue that wages of railroad workers should be reduced because the wages of pack ing house employes have been low ered. "The packers will argue that wages in that industry must be reduced be cause railroad wages are about to be reduced. I for one, am apprehensive of the economic and political conse quences that will ensue when we have hordes of hungry men, women and children In this country.” Wisconsin farmers have bought a large brewery property for a store and warehouse.

GUM, HERSELF, j ON STANS TO SAY : 11llJMENr Widow of Dead Millionaire Tells Startling Story About Him and Girl—Defense’s Love Notes Bared. BV 8A.M BLAIR, Ardmore, Okla., March 15.—Clara Smith Hamon takes the witness stand Tuesday In her own behalf, the last direct testimony witness In tho trial which Is to determine whether she sharll be punished for the fatal shoot ing of Jake L. Hamon,.politician and southwest empire Guilder. The Widow Testifies. Defense testimony already entered in direct and cross-examination has given clear Indication of the story -she can be expected to tell. Thlfe story will contain few novelties and It is assured she will repeat a version of the shooting coincident with that giv en In Interviews with this correspond ent and published after I found her last December In Chlahuahua, Mexico. So far evidence In chief is concerned, the Btate has played its last card in the game of which a woman's free dom Is the stake. The last card—the state's last witness—was the widow of the oil king. At points her testi mony may have been technically out of bounds but the defense^ attorneys seemed to have little de&lre to bring forth the deluge of tears the Indica tion of which showed In the. dimness of her eyes, the tight clinching of her fingers and the contractions that came and went across her throat. Not a word of cross-examination was asked. Was on Clara’s Heels. Mrs. Hamon, costumed In the dead black that compels attention, raised her head High when she took the wit ness stand,.gazed fixedly abeve the Jurors’ treads and began telling an ordinary story of an .ordinary early marnea me. rui very, aurupuy narrative swerved from the usual. She was telling of her first visit to Ardmore, hard on the heels of h« husband and Clara Smith eight years ago. She was describing the room Into which she'had forced an entrance and in which Hamon and the defend ant had lived together. ‘She was speaking with as much rapidity os possible, realizing, perhaps, that her statement was not admissible as evi dence and determined, therefore, to pour out the words before the ex pected objection. Again Visited Their Rooms. "I saw In the room a picture of Miss Smith with a very beautiful dress on —a beautiful dress Indeed. The at torney general noted the evidences of breaking restraint. The attorney general did not* desire that the state be accused of the staging a tear ap peal to the Jury. He asked some other questions, and, finally, brought the subject of the examination around to Mrs. Hamond’s second visit to Ard more, about three years ago. She ' told again of visiting the Jake Ha- I mon-Clara Smith rooms In tho Randol ) hotel here. Demanded Clara’s Fur Coats. She told of seeing Clara Smith i Hamon whirl and leave one of the communicating rooms as she entered. She told of finding In the woman's j room a revolver, which she confis cated, photographs of her htisband, * which she requisitioned, and two j “beautiful fur coats." Exhibit Love Letters. "And she had two magnificent fur coats and I never in my life even had one fur coat,” she cried with a touch of violence that brought one defense attorney to his feet with an unconscious objection. Of course, the objection held good, but It was evident that the defense , had not obtruded any complaint j against the testimony of this one wit ness. “Mrs. Testimony” was effec tive. Just how effective can only bo determined when the Jury Tuesday will receive testimony of the other woman. Before the state closed Its testimony, three exhibits were ex hibited. Two were love letters, writ ten by Clara Smith, as she was then —In 1915—before her marriage to Jake Hamon’s nephew, through which she entitled herself to the name of Hamon. The third was an unex plained contract, which read: "For a consideration of $1 and othor valuable considerations, the receipt i of which Is hereby acknowledged, I , hereby release any and all claims that j I have or may have against Jake L. * Hamon and this Is In settlement In 1 full for relations existing between us i and for claims of money. (Signed) “Clara Smith.” Clara Warned riamon. The date of the contract was Jan- i uary 27. 1916. The letters were sent I from Kansas City. One of these let ters begins with a condemnation of Hamon because he permitted "Mrs. j H.” to write one of Clara's associ ates "who didn't even know you wero murrtod” and to tell “everything.” “X won’t do that any longer,” wrote Clara. “And I’m telling you for the last time.

BY JOHN &LEISSNER, Washington, March 16.—Congress will pa4k an anti-dumping bill to protect Amerioan markets against the Wholesale Importation of European goods at ruinously low prices, as soon as It convenes in special session April 11. Members of the Senate finance committee and the house ways and means committee decided this Mon day, after a protracted session at tended by the Secretary of the Treas ury Mellon and a corps of his assist ants. At the same time it was agreed, the basis of collecting duties on imported goods should at once bo made the value of the goods in the Amer ican market and not the value In the country of origin. This would fce accomplished by an amendment to the existing Underwood tariff and. It Is believed, would greatly Increase revenues and at tho some time afford protection. For Aotion on Tariff. The disputed question of whether enactment of a permanent tariff law or new revenue laws should first en gage attention was not finally deter mined, although opinion was over whelmingly In favor of giving the tariff precedence. Senator Penrose, chairman of the finance committee of the upper chamber and Chairman Forduey of the house ways and means committee, will lay the matter before President Harding Tuesday, at which time it Is expected a definite program may be agreed upon. The conferees also reached these conclusions: 1. Thp Tilnn nf nn nmnpo'nnpir tariff should be abandoned, with the anti-dumping bill and the new method of collecting tariff serving as a substitute. 2. Demands of the farmers for protection should receive early and adequate attention. 3. Provisions should be made In the revenue revision for rais ing funds necessary to put the soldier bonus into operation. 4. The permanent tariff should yield $700,000,000 annually or more, an amount equal to two or two and a half times the present tariff. B. Revenue laws and the tariff should be designed to bring in ap proximately $5,000,000,000 annual ly, an amount no less than now required. HOOVER FOR IRISH FUND.

Declares he can now eat three square meals a day. “I am now able to eat three square meals a day for the first time, In two years," was the emphatic statement made recently by Joseph A. York, well-known business man and highly respected citizen of Portland, Maine. “I am now sixty-nine years of age, and In all my life I have never run across a medicine that I consider in a class with Tanlac. I have Just fin ished my fourth bottle and this medi cine hns benefited me even beyond my greatest hopes. Besides gaining six teen pounds in weight, I have been built up and strengthened until I feel all of twenty years younger. "For the past t-.vo years I have been In a miserably run-down condition, and was compelled a short time ago to give up all idea of business as I was too weak to look after anything. I ,was nervous, worn-out, had no appe tite, and suffered most all the time with indigestion. Some days I would eat scarcely anything; In fact 1 was afraid to eat because I knew I would suffer afterward. Sometimes I had Such severe cramping pains after eat ing that I would almost die. My nerves were all unstrung and the least thing would worry me and I never could get a good night’s sound sleep. In fact I Just lost Interest in every thing and was greatly discouraged over myrcondltion. "T&e ordinary treatment failed to do me any good, and as I had read so many statements from people I know here in Portland who had been bene fited by Tanlac, I decided to give It a tri,al. And now I know for myself what It will do, for I have simply taken n new lease oil life. I am now able to look after my work as usual, and never felt better in my life, I am able to eat three hearty meals a day and everything agrees with me per fectly. I eat anything I want and never feel a touch of indigestion. I never thought there was a medicine that could do me so much good, and I am only too glad to have the facta about my case given to the public.” Tanlac Is sold by leading druggists everywhere.—Adv.
