To the Merit of Lydia E. Pink*
ham's Vegetable Com-
pound during Change
of Life.
Westbrook, Me. — "I was passing
through the Change of Life and had
pains in my back
and side and was so
weak I could hardly
do my housework.
I have taken Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound and
it has done me a lot
of good. I will re-
commend your med-
icine to my friends
and give you permis-
sion to publish my
testimonial."— Mrs. Lawrence Mar-
tin, 12 King St., Westbrook, Maine.
Manston, Wis. — "At the Change of
Life I suffered with pains in my back
and loins until I could not stand. I also
had night-sweats so that the sheets
would be wet. I tried other medicine
but got no relief. After taking one bot-
tle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound I began to improve and I
continued its use for six months. The
pains left me, the night-sweats and hot
flashes grew less, and in one year I was
a different woman. I know I have to
thank you for my continued good health
ever since." — Mrs. M. J. Brownell,
Manston, Wis.
The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, is unparalleled in such cases.

Feel All Used Up?
Does your back ache constantly? Do
you have sharp twinges when stooping
or lifting? Do you feel all used up—
as if you could just go no further?
Kidney weakness brings great discom-
fort. What with backache, headache,
dizziness and urinary disturbances it is
no wonder one feels all used up.
Doan's Kidney Pills have cured thou-
sands of just such cases. It's the best
recommended special kidney remedy.

kidneys were dis-

larly. I suffered
Intensely from diz-
zy spells and head-
aches and little
puffy sacs appear-
ed beneath my
eyes. I had nerv-
ous spells, also. On
.. relative's advice, I used Doan's
Kidney Pills and three boxes fixed me
up in good shape."

WILLARD WHIPS JACK JOHNSON
NEW CHAMPION IN THE GAME
OF FISTICUFFS.
Negro It Defeated At Havana By
the Biggest Man That Ever
Entered the Ring.
Havana.—Jack Johnson, exile from
his own country, lost his claim to
fistic supremacy as the heavyweight
thampion of the world, the title being
wrested from him by Jess Willard, the
cowboy, the biggest man who ever j
entered the prize ring.
The fight scheduled for 45 rounds,
lasted for 25, when Johnson was worn
•ut and took the count, the end not
being, technically, a knockout.
The fight probably has no parallel
In the history of ring battles. For
twenty rounds Johnson punched and
pounded Willard at will, but his blows
grew preceptibly less powerful as the
fight progressed until, at last ne
seemed unable or unwilling to go on.
Johnson stopped leading and for three
or four rounds the battle between the
two huge men was little more than a
series of posings.
Willard was born in Kansas, but
lived most of his life in Oklahoma,
his business being an overland freight-
er at Hammon, when he entered the
ring at Oklahoma City five years ago.
He is 6ft. 6 in, weight 245 pounds

Jess Willard.
never tasted tobacco or liquors and
has a wife and four children. He is
wanted in Oklahoma City for jump-
ing a fine of $100 for prize fighting.
Johnson and his white wife have
sailed for France, wnere he says he
will turn farmer. He is barred from
the United States vy a whiae slavery
indictment at Chicago, growing out
of his relations with the Minneapolis
girl who became, and is, his second
white wife. He received $30,000 as
a guarantee on this fight.
The crowd which paid to see the
fight looked to number between 15,-
000 and 20,000. In addition fully 5,000
persons viewed the fight from the dis-
tant slopes and hills. The Cubans
who made up a large percentage of
the crowd, were much excited. Many
women, both Cuban and American,
were present, as well as all the nota-
bles in the island.
There were 2,000,000 Slavs in the
United States before the European
war broke out.
Villa Loses 1,000 Men.
Laredo.—Advices reaching Carranza
adherents are that in a three days'
fight near Los Ebanos, thirty miles
south of Tampico, Mexico, Villa forces
have lost 1,100 killed and about 1,000
prisoners. After a fierce battle the
Villa army was compelled to retreat,
leaving 600 dead on the field. The
Villistas returned, according to the re-
port, and after a fight lasting through
Sunday the Villa general ordered a
retreat, leaving 500 dead on the field,
the Carranzistas taking 1,000 prison-
ers.
NO WAR TAX ON
CANADIAN LANDS
Untruthful Reports Circulated by
Interested Parties.
Defaming a neighbor at the expense
of the truth does not help those who are
guilty of the practice, and it may ba
said that those spreading false re-
ports about Canadian lands, in the
hope that they may secure customers
for their own, will certainly fall of
their purpose. False statements so
maliciously circulated will sooner or
later be disproved. And, as in the
case of the lands of Western Canada,
the fertility of which is now so well
known to people of every state in the
United States, the folly of this work
shows an exceeding short sighted-
ness on the part of those guilty of the
practice.
The present war has given some of
these people the opportunity to exer-
cise their art. but in doing it they are
only arousing the curiosity of those
who read the statements and a trifling
investigation will only reveal their un-
truthfulness.
A very foolish statement has re-
cently appeared in a number of pa-
pers, reading in part as follows: —
"It is believed that as a result of the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana-
dian Government a number of former
Dakota farmers who went to the Brit-
ish Northwest will be compelled to re-
turn to the United States. Informa-
tion has been received that the tax
will amount to about $500 for each
farm of 160 acres, which In the case
of many of the former residents of the
two Dakotas would practically amount
to confiscation."
To show that the public has doubt-
ed, hundreds of inquiries have been
made the Government at Ottawa,
Canada, only to bring out the most em-
phatic denial. A full-fiedged lie of this
kind has, of course, only a short life,
and will tell in the end against those
who forge it and spread it, but, as a
Winnipeg paper points out, It is most
complimentary to the agricultural pos-
sibilities of Western Canada to find
that rival farming propositions need
audacious mendacity of this descrip-
tion to help them.
What is the truth? The Saskatche-
wan Government has authorized a levy
of $10 per quarter section on unculti-
vated lands owned by non-residents.
The Alberta Government has imposed
a Provincial tax of 10 mills on the as-
sessed value of all uncultivated lands.
There are some special applications of
these taxes, but the main provisions
are as above. Those vacant lands
held by non-residents in Western Can-
ada form a grave problem. They are
making for poor communities, poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. By having them
cultivated the owners as well as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. It is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the co-operation of the non-resi-
dents. The high price of grain for
some years to come, and the general
splendid character of Western Canada
land will make the question well
worth consideration.—Advertisement.
WELCH IMPEACHMENT IS BEGUN
Second State Official On the Grill at
Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma City.—With the presenta-
tion of formal statements by counsel
for both the prosecution and the de-
fense, giving their versions of the
case and setting forth the facts they
hope to establish in the testimony
they will introduce, the trial of State
Insurance Commissioner A. L. Welch
was begun before the senate court of
Impeachment.
The list of witnesses summoned by
the prosecution, numbering about
twenty, including two former state of-
ficials—Governor Lee Cruce and At-
torney General Charles West—were
read to the court, and the oath was
administered to those who answered
to the call of their names. The oath
was administered to all witnesses
present at one time.
Representatives Henry W. Sitton of
Stephens county, member of the house
board of managers, opened the case
with the formal statement on behalf
of the prosecution.
Mr. Sitton addressed the court for
almost an hour. He dealt at length
on the article chargtng Mr. Welch
with fraudulently licensing fche Union
Mutual Insurance Company of Enid,
and that he assisted that company in
compromising its just liabilities With
its policy holders and requested a
"divvy" for his services in that con-
necUon.
BREAKING THE NEWS GENTLY
Liverpool Man Exceedingly Careful
That He Should Not Shock the
Nerves of His Friend.
In Liverpool there is a man, writes
a contributor to Pearson's Weekly,
who is famous for his calmness on
every occasion. One day he strolled
leisurely into the office of a friend.
"I've just had a chat with your
wife," he began.
"Why, I didn't know she was in
town."
"Oh, she wasn't in town," replied
the other. "I called at your house."
"I didn't know she was receiving to-
day," said the husband, with some sur-
prise. "I thought she had a head-
ache."
"She didn't mention it to me," said
the calm man. "There was quite a
crowd at the house."
"A crowd:" echoed the husband.
"Yes." went on the calm man. "They
came with the fire engine."
"The fire engine!" gasped the bus-
band.
"Oh, it's all right," went on the calm
man. "It's all out now. It wasn't
much of a fire, but I thought you'd
like to knew of it."
Method in His Madness.
"Do you realize that your long ser-
mons are rather tiresome?" asked the
young parson who was new at the
game.
"I do," replied the wise parson, who
was beginning to carry weight for age.
"That is why my congregation gives
me such long vacations."
