These Three Women Tell How They
Escaped the Dreadful Ordeal of
Surgical Operations.
Hospitals are great and necessary institutions, but they
should be the last resort for women who suffer with ills
peculiar to their sex. Many letters on file in the Pinkham
Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., prove that a great number of
women after they have been recommended to submit to an
operation have been made well by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Here are three such letters. All
sick women should read them.
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Marinette.
he told me I must have an operation for a female
uouuie, ami j. natcu to nave it aone as i naa oeen
married only a short time. I would have terrible
14a
pains and my hands and feet were cold all the
time. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and was cured, and I feel better in every
wav. I erive vou permission to publish mv name
because I am so thankful that f feel Well again."
Mrs. Fred Beiinke, Marinette, Wis.
Detroit, Mich.
I Tinkham's Vegetable Compound I was so run down
with female troubles that I could not do anything, and our doctor
said I would have to undergo an operation. I could hardly walk
without help so when I read about the Vegetable Compound and what
it had done for others I thought I would try it. I got a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a pcekage of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Sanative Wash and Used them according to directions.
They helped me and today I am able to do all my work and I at well."
Mrs. Tnos. Dwyeu, 989 Milwaukee Ave., East, Detroit, Mich.
Bellevue, Pa." I suffered more than tongue can tell with terrible
bearing down pains and inflammation. I tried M-veral doctors and
they all told me the same Btory, that I never could get well without
an operation and I just dreaded the thought of that. I also tried a
good many other medicines that were recommended to me pnd none
of them helped me until a friend advised me to give Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound a trial. The first bottle helped, I kept
taking it and now I don't know what it is to bo sick any more and I
am picking up in weight. I am 20 years old and weigh 145 pounds.
It will be the greatest pleasure to me if I can have the oppor
tunity to recommend it to any other suffering woman." Miss Irene
Froelicher, 1923 Manhattan St., North Side, Bellevue, Pa.
If you would like special advice write to Lydia E. Pinkham
Med. Co. (confidential ),Lynn, Mass. Your letter will be opened,
read and answered by a woman and held in strict confidence.

Clerk Balks at Presence of
"Exhibits" Who Are Ex
posed to Malady
The law 's delays have been a watch
word fur years but today u brand new
cause lor delay appeared to block a
writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge
bill nwnv in thfl circuit emii-t in lin rtntrt
j of A. -M. Long, a convict at the state j
i penitentiary who was to be produced 1
'm court in person nt 1U o'clock this
j morning. Smallpox was the higher law
I that overruled the judge's order. Wnr
! den llinto upon w hom the writ was
seryert as custodian of Long reported
that he was ready and willing to pro
duce Long in court to comply with, t In
order but that the court would have to!
take his own chances as I.ong had been j
exposed to the smallpox which has bmk- '
en out ut the state pen. j
Judge Galloway was ready to stand i
by his order but the clerk of the court 1
declined to list any smallpox patients as !
exhibits and declared that the court '
room must be quarantined if Long were
admitted without a clean bill of health.
The matter was finally adjusted by At- j
torney Thomas L. Garland waiving the!
actual presence of Long and taking i
the opportunity to present his case in I
court in which he contends that Long '
is illegally restrained from his liberty.
Garland claims that Long was commit-1
ted upon a writ which was faulty in I
that the signature of the trial jiidgc I
was typewritten and not signed per
sonally. Long was sent up from Mult
nomah county, December 30, 1I14, to'
serve from one to seven years for lar-'
cony from a dwelling. I
Garland says he received a letter j
signed "Ex-con" in which it was stat
ed that Long desired to speak with an
attorney. Garland then appeared at the
pen where the officials refused to al
low him a private interview with the
prisoner although he was allowed to
talk in the presence of a guard.
Attorney General Brown appeared as
a representative of Warden Minto and
the arguments in the case will be hoard
this afternoon by Judge Galloway.
MLAMETTE NOTES
The astronomy class was given the
privilege last niidit of studying tho
(linnets Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and
Mars and ulso several stirs that are
closer to the earth" than others.
Mr. I. L. McAdain, an nstron-omer of
Salem, had his telescope mounted on the
campus last night and explained, from
tn Any charts which he iias prepared, the
characteristics of each of the various
planets. For instance, Mars has a num
ber' of canals on its surface that are
dry part of the year but as it changes
ils position in relation to the sun the
ice at the south pole melts and flows
through the canals to the north pole, at
this period of the year -Mars presents a
different color which is supposed to be
caused by the growth of green vegeta
tion. Mr. McAdam stated that he be
lieved Mars to be inhabited by people
the same as our earth.
In iiieer contr.ist to our earth is Sat
urn; it has nine moons, four of which
could be plainly seen last nig.it through
the telescope.
Mr. McAilani has made astronomy a
life work, having studied it since the
age of ! years. His lecture last night
was of great interest to Prof. J. T.
Matthews' astronomy class as it five
them a little of the geographical study
with their mathematical consideration
of the subject of astronomy.
The election of officers" for the Y.

year resulted as follows: 1'rcsident,
Miss Aetna. Kmmel; vice-president,

The Willamette library has been in

many of which are very valuable and
of everyday use to the students. The
books were secured by the board of
trustees from lists submitted by mem

department was benefitted, as books
were ordered that could be used us
source books.

IV, Going to Kill You
Was Greeting to Family
San Francisco, Feb. 23. "I'm go
ing to kill you," citlnily remarked M.
tl. .Jordan as he faced his little family
of three at the breakfast table, today.
Jordan had not been well of lute and
had been under the care of Dr. Huell,
physician for the United Iron Work
ers. Jlrs. Jordan, tactfully asked for a
moment in which to prepare for death,
and warned a neighbor who had been
an old family friend. He telephoned
Dr. Huell. When the friend appeared
Jordan attacked him. The situation
was growing serious when the physician
arrived and hurried Jordan, to central
emergency hospital.
There Jordan- Middeuly leaped from
tho car and hurled himself upon Stew
ards Groom and Nichols. For 10 min
utes they fought in the hospital court
yard and the stewards were thrown
against, plant boxes, on which spikes
were, recently placed and were painful
ly hurt. Jordan was finally overpow
ered and locked in the detention wnid
for investigation.
Modern Law Givers
Differ in Opinions
Washington, Feb. LT). To support
their opposing bills in the California
Oregon land grant cases, Senator Cham
berlain and Representative Haw ley ap
peared today before the house, public
lands committee.
Chamberlain said his measure gives
the railroad everything that it can leg
ally claim, yet passes agricultural land
into cultivation and secures for the peo
ple proceeds of valuable timber. Ffe
doubted the power of congiess to con
vert the laiui grants into a forest re
serve because a settlement right was
conferred by the granting act.
On the other hand. Huwlcy said the
congress is powerless to resume the title
but must dispose of it through the rail
road. THINK HE IS CRONES

president had told the conferees of thisj
suggestion. There has been no further i
suggestion of such postponement, how-
ever, ami no request from the United i
States that Germany take this step.
Chairman Stone of the foreign com
mittee was skeptical about the rumor.
Bryan Trots Out Dove.
"I can't discuss every idle report,"
he slid, "I heard the rumor yesterday
but T was nimble to learn the source of
it, ami there was certainly nothing in
it upon which we can rely."
President Wilson expressed to his cnll-
! crs today his displeasure at publicity
I'jiven to the differences between him
j self and congress, as he held this to be
irritating and capable of such misin
I erpretation by Germany that she would,

! Representative Hailev today circulat
ed in the house a telegram from former
Secietnry of State Jlryaii endorsing the
w.irning idea, and saving:
"If congress has the right to declare
war, it certainly has the right to pro
mote peace by restraining citizens from
Hiking unnecessary risks."
Hryan will be here March 4 for n
peace address, and will " rem. liu until
March ll. but his friends say he will
lake no active part in the fight for a
warning.
Supplemental statements about tho
alleged secret Uiitish orders to att.ick
submarines were received from He rll n
today. The state department will try to
estalilisii their authenticity and if they
are as Herlin represents, they may have
a inlitcri.il bearing upon this govern
men's future position toward armed
ships.
'Jones resolution recited that inas
much as the honor of the nation is not
in the custody of one limn, but in the
custody of the eople, it is the presi
dent's duty to present to congress de
tails of complications that might lead
to w.ir, before taking an irretrievable
position.
Stone disposed of discussion of eith
er the Jones or Gore measures by insist
ing upon tabling them fur a day.
Tension marked the senate 'proceed
ings, and Stone twice refused to allow
unanimous consent to discussion of
bridge bills fearing that the talk might
veer to tiie interuatiou ll situation.
"I believe it would proclaim us to the
world as cowards to tell our citizens
that they must not exercise their rights
I to travel on armed vessels and that, if
I tli"y do so, we will not protect them,"
said Senator Lodge, republican, in a
statement upholding the president.

Officials hero take the reported tier
query as indicutivo that Germany doeti
not want a break with America and is
preparing to yield.
According to the Amsterdam message,
Foreign Secretary Von Jagow ask
what size guns America deems neceM
sary for defense of merchantmen, in
view of her contention that these shipt
have the right to arm strictly for de
fense. In this way, jt is thought Ger
many hopes to force the state depart
ment to define defensive armament
and to embarrass belligerent ships en
tering America with comparatively
large guns.
It is believed that the query is in
tended to prolong negotiations between
the two nations until tho excitement in
Germany against America over the de
cree subsides. Then, it is presumed,
Germany will find a graceful way to ex
tricate herself from an awkward posi
tion. The Amsterdam report has served to
upset the Knglish forecast that c
many intended to defy the United
States.
