WAR DECLARED IN OHIO.
Mayor Tom Johnson, of Cleveland,
has declared war on John R. McLean,
the Cincinnati republican who has
been meddling with Ohio democratic
politics for so many years:
"We do not expect any aid from
Mr. McLean or his, newspaper, and,
in fact, most of our friends welcom
ed the opposition from both.
"McLean stands for nothing in
Ohio politics. His support will drive
more men out of tho democratic par
ty than It will bring to it, and his
open opposition will attract to the
Hnmnnmtic nartv creat numbers of
independent voters who believe in
a democracy that stands for live Is
sues."
Tom Johnson Is right except in
thinking that John R. McLean stands
for nothing in Ohio politics, minus
tho Helena Independent. McLean
stands for anything that is undemo
cratic. For twenty years ho has
been defeating democracy in Ohio.
Always he has been for his own
pockotbook. Now he has against
him a man who has as big a pocket
book, but who is not trying to stuff
it at the expense of the people o
Ohio.
"Shut your eyes, open your mouth
mnd sec what luck will bring you."
The mother smiles at the childish
game, and doesn't realize that it is a
game she as a woman has perhaps
played for a great many years.
Many a woman is weak and sick,
nervous and discouraged. She suffers
from headache, backache and other ills.
She wants to be well, but all she does is
to shut her eyes
and open iher
mouth for medi
cine and trust to
luck for results.

"Favorite Prescription."
"My disease was displacement and ulceration
of thenterus, and I was in a terrible condition
with pain and weakness and had given up all
hopes of ever being well again." writes Mrs.
Harry A. Brown, of Orono. Penobscot Co., Me.
"Had doctored with four different doctors with

was growing weaker all the time. I decided to
try your 'Favorite Prescription,' 'Golden Med

heard of the many cures resulting from their
use, I bought five bottles and felt so much bet
ter after taking them that I kept on until I am
as well as ever in my life, and to Dr. Pierce all
the praise is due. I cannot say enough in favor
of his medicines. Before I began taking your
medicines I only weighed one hundred and
twenty pounds. I now weigh one hundred and

muddy complexion.

Summer colds require prompt treat
ment. They are always grave, and
sometimes dangerous. The prompt
ness and surety with which Pcruna
acts in these cases has saved many
lives. A largo doso of Poruna shoulu
