Extracted From Forest Plants
Nature's laws are perfect If obey
them, but disease follows disobedience.
Go straight to nature for the cure, to the
forest; there arc mysteries here that we
can fathom for you. Take the bark of
the wild-cherry tree, tho root of man-
drake) stono root, queen's root, bloodroot
and goldon seal, mako a seientllic, non-
alcoholic extract of them with just the
right proportions and you h«ive Doctor
Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery.
It took Dr. Plorce, with tho assistance
of two learned chemists, eight yoars of
hard work experimenting to mako this
vegetable extract and alterative of the
greatest efficiency.
Just tho sort of sprint? remedy ywi
need to mako rich, red blood, and cure
that lassitude and feellnr of nerve ex-
haustion. Dr. Pieroe's Golden Medical
Discovery bears the stamp of public
approval and has sold more largelv in
the past forty years than any other blood

Pierce, the founder of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, and a phy-
sician of largo experience and practice,
was tho first to make up an cuteratlvt
extract of roots, herbs and barks, with-
out a particle of alcouoi. or nar-
cotics, which purifies the blood and
tones up tho stomach and the entire
system In Nature's own way. The
"liolden Medical Discovery" is Just the
tissue builder and tonic you require
when recovering from a hard cold,
grip, or pneumonia. No matter how
strong the constitution the stomach Is
®pt to bo "out of kilter" after.a long,
hard winter; lu consequenco the blood Is
disordered, for tho stomach is tho labor-
atory for tho constant manufacture of

STRIKE TO BE EXTENDED
Demand Made Upon Employees to
Deliver Goods to Boycotted Houses
CHICAGO: The strike of the
teamsters Is expecteil to spread rap-
idly during the week. At a meeting
held between the teamsters and ibe
Joint council, which is the govjinlng
body of the local unions of the team-
sters, and representatives of the
Team Owners' association, tho latter
informed tho representatives of tho
employees that their business de-
manded of them to make deliveries to
houses which had been boycotted by
the unions, and that they would do
bo, heedless of the fact whether or
not a strike existed at such places.
The council was urged to agree to
this proceedure and avert a general
 trike. After an extended debato
imong the members, the teamsters'
council decided that it would not con-
Bent to the delivery of goods to any
of the boycotted houses by union
men, and that the strike would be
called on every man who Is dis-
charged for refusing to deliver goods.
Among tho members of the Team
Owners' association are many of the
largest firms in the city engaged in
the transportation business, and
some of them employ several hundred
teamsters. The members of the as-
sociation have the contracts in a
large measure for the hauling of
goods between the large business
houses of the city and the railways,
and they heretofore rather sided with
the teamsters rather than with the
Employers' association.
They decided, however, that they
could no longer refuse to make de-
liveries, and when the teamsters'
union refused to agree to this pro-
cedure, the matter was laid over, to
be placed before the joint council.
This body" having decided that no de-
liveries shall be made by union men.
the situation has reached a point
where practically all the team own-
ers In the city are lined up against
the teamsters' union. The number
of men now on strike is about 4,500,
and is is expected that the strikes
that are now sure to come will more
than double this number. It means
that practically all of the truck
drivers in the city will be on a strike
within a few days, and that deliveries
between many houses not affected by
the strike at this time will then be
cut off. There Is also great danger
that the city's supply of food may be
seriously curtailed, for the reason
that the members or the Team Own-
ers' association do most of the haul-
ing for the commission houses in
South Water street, which supplies
fresh vegetables for the city.
Members of the teamsters' council
announced after their meeting that
they confidently expected the strike
would now spread until it involved
every union teamster in the city.
NEW TERRITORY LINE
Canadian Valley & Western to Begin
Construction at Once
MUSKOGEE: A new railroad,
running from Chickasha through Old
Stonewall, Bvers and Purcell to
Lehigh, is to be built. It win be
known as the Canadian Valley &
Western, which has filed plats, maps,
etc., with the Dawes commission.
The contract for the construction
of the road has been let to the Can-
adian Valley Construction company.
The work is being let to sub-contrac-
tors in twenty-mile <ots, and work Is
to be commenced immediately.
The road will make connection
with the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf,
sixteen miles west of Lehigh, lor
Muskogee, thus giving this city a di-
rect connection with the section of
the country the new line will pene-
trate. The right of way for the new
road runs through a fertile section.
It is better to believe than to sus-
pect.
The chief of police of Muskogee
raided the gambling houses in that
town Saturday night and arrested
about thirty persons.

Many women long for a child to bless
their homes, but because of somo de-
bility or displacement of tho female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthv maternity is
accomplished by Lydia *E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-

A woman who is in good physical

blessings of a good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity ?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be a great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in disappointments at
birth.
