was conspicuous by its absence. Not
since the days when the legislature
used to elect United States senators and
the rival camps fought point by point
has there been so much drama crowd

the strange feature of the whole af

Bill Finally Piurd.
Out of the ruck of near-riot, person
alities, bitterness, antagonism and ill
nature, the M0.0uo.tiuo bond bill finally
nir'-red. with the emergency clause
and bout all the safeguards that the
members, exrept less than half a dox

It contains a provision that the state
highway commit ion may pay royalty

tractors in submitting bids shall not
include the prht of royalty. I:i this
connection, it may be observed that

validity of the patents, and, if he things
tby are not sound, he is to notify the

and I he attorney-general will defend
the suit to the highest court in the land.
There were 51 votes for the bill aud its
parage ruts the ground from under

for a day and a half last week.

form, this being what is considered the

Every true mother realizes the fact that her baby'a health de

by her own physical condition. How important it is, therefore,
to guard against any derangement of the female 'organs, which
induce general weakness, nervousness, constant fatigue and utter
inability to properly care for her child. Please remember, that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has brought health and
strength to thousands of such mothers.
