Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me. During the Change of Life I was in bed for eight months and had two good doctors treating me but they did me no good A friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound,whichldid, and in a short time I felt better. I had all kinds of bad spells, but they all left me. Now when I feel weak and nervous I take the Vegetable Compound and it always does me good. I wish all women would try it during the Change of Life for I know it will do them good. If you think itwill induce some one to try the Vegetable Com pound you may publish this letter/’—Mrs. A. Keller, Afton, Tenn. Mrs. Mary Lister of Adrian, Mich.,adds her testimony to the value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s - vegetable tunipuuuu to carry women safely through the Change of Life. She says: ‘‘It is with pleasure that I write to you thanking you for what your wonderful medicine has done for me. I was passing through the Change of Life and had a displacement and weakness so that I could not stand on my feet and other annoying symptoms. A friend told roe about Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound and the first bottle helped me, so I got more. It cured me and I am now doing my housework. Your medicine is certainly woman’s friend andyou may use this testimonial as you choose.”—Mrs. Mary Lister, 608 Frank Street, Adrian, Mich. i It is said that middle age is the most trying period in a woman’s life, and •owing to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand passes through this perfectly natural change without experiencing very annoying symptoms. Those smothering spells, the dreadful hot flashes that send the blood rushing to the head u '.til it seems as though it would burst, and the faint feeling that follows, as if the heart were going to stop, those sinking or dizzy spells are all symptoms of a nervous condition, and indicate the need for a special medicine. . Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is a root and herb medicine espe cially adapted to act upon the feminine system. It acts in such a manner as to build up Idle weakened nervous system and enables a woman to pass this trying period with the least possible annoying symptoms. Women everywhere should remember that most of the commoner ailments of women are not the surgical ones—they are not caused by serious displace ments or growths, although the symptoms may be the same, and that is why so many apparently serious ailments readily yield to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, as it acts as a natural restorative and often prevents serious troubles. Lydia E.

April 12.—President Harding spent most of Monday alone In his study writing his momentous first message to congress. which he will read personally to a joint session of both houses at 1 o'clock Tues day afternoon. In the afternoon he was waited up on by a congressional committee com posed of Senators. Lodge and Hitch cock and Representatives Fordney. Mondell and Kltchln. which present ed him -with a Joint resolution in forming the executive that congress had convened and awaited any com munication from the president. Up to a late hour Monday the mes sage so eagerly awaited by the world had not been completed by the presi dent. While it will he devoted large ly to a discussion of domestic prob lems, it also is expected o enunciate the principles of the foreign policy of the new administration. There no longer exists any doubt that the pres ident in his message definitely will turn his back on the League of Na tions and that from now on the league issue is to be regarded as dead. As Hs’d Writs Editorial. The president, who never dictated a lengthy communication In his life, is following tile practice learned in the office of the Marlon Star of writ ing his message in longhand, Unlike his predecessor. President Wilson, who could operate a typewriter and write shorthand, President Harding is writing his first message as he would write an editorial for his paper. He does not make notes and then dic tate the communication to one of the White House stenographers, but ac tually performs all the work of writ ing the message himself. It is expected that the complete text will go to the government print ing office early Tuesday morning, where special arrangements have been made to rush it through the big plant so that copies will be ready for distribution to members of congress and the press by. the time the execu tive goes to the capitol. STORY OF OPENiNQ OF 67TH SE83ION Washington. April 11.—The sixty seventh congress, called Into special session by President Harding for leg islative combat with the after war domestic and international problems with which the nations Is burdened convened at noon Monday, the real return of the republican party to pow er like that enjoyed before the Wil sonian days. Boasting a majority of 22 in the Senate and 168 in the House, the republicans were able to make the reorganizations mere formalities. Democrats' Efforts In Vain. One faint gasp from the 132 demo crats in the lower house In an ef fort to get a change of rules that would give the minority some stand ing served only to emphasize the re publican control. “We simply want to establish the fact of whether or not the majority considers it a sound public policy to vest itself with the power to enact all legislation under a suspension of the rules If It so desires,” said Rep resentative Pou of North Carolina. “We submit that under the condi tions a three-fourths vote should be required to suspend the rules.” “The country at large seemed to be willing to take this chance when It determined the membership of the House in last fall's election," rejoined Representative Campbell, of Kansas, and the two-thirds rule was ap proved. Show Up Bird. One other attempt by the demo crats to assert themselves came In connection with the seating of Rep. Richard E. Bird, of Kansas, who for some reason had filed a sworn state ment of campaign expenses amount ing to $10,300. That amount is more than $3,000 above the limit fixed in the corrupt policies act. Representative Flood, of Virginia, acting for the minority, presented a resolution providing for an investiga tion to determine the Kansan’s right to question the credentials of a rep resentative and Representative Bird was seated pending a decision on his supposed violation of the law. ‘‘There is precedent for the pro posed action,” protested Represent ative Flood. “We have this man’s own sworn statement to the effect that he is a violator of the law. I understand that the claim is made that he entered expenses that he was not called upon to list but these amount to no more than $1,000 and still he is thousands over the legal limit." Some “Show” for Crowds. The organizing of the two houses provided some “show" for the crowds that sfirged into the galleries for the opening of the history making special session. In the House, Speaker Gll lett, was re-established in that post by a vote of 298 to 122 and given the oath of office by that distinguished former speaker, Uncle Joe Cannon, of Illinois, who delivered a speech. "We are entering upon what will inevitably be a long and Important session of congress," he said.

April 12.—Gabriel d’ Annun zlo, the tiery poet who held the city of Flume as long as he could and then decided that Italy "wasn’t worth dy ing for," has hurled himself with his usual abandon into national politics and promises to produce the most spectacular three-cornered tight the country has ever witnessed before the general elections take place on May 15. I*'ormer Premier Nlttl and the present prime minister, GloUttl, are the principal opponents. IXAnnunzlo Is against both and will do his ut most to stir the voters against re turning either to power. Personali ties, therefore, far overshadow the main issues In the coming campaign, although the fundamental question to be fought out will be one of na tionalism or socialism.
