For Forty Years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has Relieved
the Sufferings of Women.
It hardly seems possible that there is a woman in this
country who continues to suffer without giving Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial after all the evi
dence that is continually being published, proving beyond
contradiction that this grand old medicine has relieved
more suffering among women than any other medicine in
the world.
Mrs. Kieso Cured After Seven Month's Hires*.
. Aurora, 111.—"For seven long months I suffered
from a female trouble, with severe pains in my back
and sides until I became so weak I could hardly
walk from chair to chair, and got so nervous I
would jump at the slightest noise. I was entirely
unfit to do my house work, I was giving up hope of
ever being well, when my sister asked me to try
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I took
six bottles and today I am a healthy woman able to
do my own housework. I wish every suffering
woman would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
j Compound, and find out for herself how good
it is."—MRS. KARL A. KIESO, 596 North Ave., Aurora, 111.
Could Hardly Get Off Her Bed.
Cincinnati, Ohio.—"l want you to know the good Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. 1 was in such bad
health from female troubles that I could hardly get off my bed. I

to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.' So I did, and it
has certainly made me a well woman. lam able to do my house work
and am so happy as I never expected to go around the way I do again,

Dayton Man to Explain Advan

More than three hundred members
of the Harrisburg Chamber of Com

meeting at 6.30 this evening, in Chest

illustrated talk on the city manager
plan of government.
The audience will bo augmented at
8 o'clock by a large number of ladies
and nonmembers of the chamber who
have been invited to hear the speech
which will be given at that time after
the conclusion of the dinner.
Officials of the Chamber of Com

Mr. Switzer an dan associate of
his in the National Cash Register

largest manufacturing institutions in
Dayton and are in the midst of prep

of this large industry. He made the
engagement to come to Harrisburg
just before those matters caine to
a head and nothing but his desire to
keep his engagement permits Harris
burg to have him here to-day.
The Digest's Comment
The current issue of the Literary
Digest contains the following short
article which shows the attention that
Is being given the city manager form
of government in America:
"Now that nearly a hundred of our
smaller cities have 'city managers,'
usually civil engineers—directing the
business of the city, some of the larg
est municipalities are beginning to
consider abandoning present forms of
government in favor of an executive
selected by 'directors.' We are told
by 'Engineering and Contracting*
(Chicago) that the change is now ad
vocated by daily papers in Philadel
phia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleve
land. Chicago, Kansas City and Min
neapolis. Says this magazine:
•' "In Cleveland, for example, a
nominating committee appointed by
fifty civic organizations alls just met
to consider the selection of fifteen
men to investigate the city manager
plan. Among the members of this
committee is Dr. Charles S. Howe,
president of the Case School of Ap
plied Science. The Cleveland Press
urges a change In the city charter to
enable the city to adopt the modern
method of managing a city like a
stock cqmpany. The Press says: 'The
conduct of city affairs should be in
the hands of a thoroughly trained ana
well-tried city manager, chosen not
for a definite period, but to hold office
as long as he does his work well.' At
last the American public begins to
I see that periodic selection of council
men and mayors by election Is a poor
way of getting good municipal govern
ment. Imagine a railway system op
erated under the direction of men se
lected anew every two to four years
by popular vote! The glib speaker,
the sweet smiler. the hearty-hand
gripper, would then have a better
chance of being president of the rail
way than the man who had spent all
his life studying and practicing rail
way construction and operation. The
fact is that our entire system of 'rep
resentative government,' In which rep
resentation comes solely through elec
tions, Is an- unecomonlc system, and
is destined shortly to be changed.'
President Wilson Will
Take Oath of Office in
• Private, March 4
Washington, Feb. 23.—1t was defi
nitely decided to-day that President
Wilson will take his new oath of of
fice in private in the White House on
Sunday, March 4. Whether he will
take it again at the public ceremony
on March 5 or merely make that the
occasion for delivering his "inaugural
address has not been decided.
A State Department ruling to-day
made clear that the President may
wait and not take any oath at all until
March 5. if he chooses to do so.
"There- is no interregnum between
the expiration of the term of one presi
dent and the beginning of the term of
his successor," says the State Depart

a slight interval when the executive
power is suspended."
