STORK IS POPULAR
BIRD AT HERINGTON.
Herlngton, Jan. 10. The year
1912 hag been a good one for that
famous bird, the stprk. According
to the records of City Clerk Morgan
117 babies weie born in Herlngton
during the past year, while the num
ber of deaths recorded waa it. These
figures show that Old Father Time
Is gradually losing out in the race.
They also show that reformers need
not worry about the race suicide
problem in Herlngton.
"If the birth rate keeps on in
creasing as it has been," said City
Clerk Morgan, "it won't he many
years until the city will have to
hire an assistant to keep track of
them. One day last year eight babies
were recorded on the books, ana
Judging from the increase since the
recording system was installed, It
looks like that record will be broke
this year."
Summing all things up, if you are
looking for a place to be born In, you
can't beat Herlngton.

When a woman suffering from some form of feminine
disorder is told that an operation is necessary, it of course
frightens her. . , ,
The very thought of the hospital operating table and the
surgeon's knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder.
It is quite true that some of these troubles may reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but thousands of
women have avoided the necessity of an operation by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This fact is
attested by the grateful letters they write to us after their
health has been restored.
These Two Women Prove Our Claim.
ru w.t ! feel it a duty I
owe to all suffering women to tell
what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for me. One year ago
I found myself a terrible sufferer.
1 bad pains in both aides and such a
soreness 1 could scarcely staighten
up at times. Mr back ached, I had
no appetite ana was so nervous I
could not sleep, then I would be so
tired mornings that I could scarcely
pet around. It seemed almost im
possible to move or do a bit of work
and I thought I never would be any
better until I submitted to an opera
tion. I commenced taking Lydia E.
Piakham's Vegetable Compound and
Boon felt like a new woman. I bad
well hltd rood aODO-
tite and waa fat and could do almost
all my own work for a family of
four. I ahall always feel that I owe
my good health to your medicine."
Mrs. Hatwabd Sowers, Cary, Me.
Charlotte, N. C "I was In bad
health for two years, with pains in
both aides and was very nervous. If
I even lifted a chair it would cause
a hemorrhage. I had a growth which
the doctor said was a tumor and I
never would get well unless I bad
an operation. A friend advised ms
to take Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegeta
ble Compound, and I gladly sav that
I am now enjoying fine health and
am the mother of a nice baby girl.
You can use this letter to help other
suffering women." Mrs. Rosa. Sims,

Topeka, Jan. .0. "This bsck to
the farm movement Is much ' of it
nonsense." declared Frank W,
Blackmar, professor of sociology at
the state university, today before the
state board of agriculture. "We have
gone too far from the simple life
ever to return to it. If the average
city man went back to the farm he
would be a failure, and only, still
further decrease the yield per acre.
The sneaker was discussing "Some
Factors in the High Cost of Living."
"We must admit," he said, "that
the big factor in holding down the
living cost if the production of more
and better crops on the farm; scien
tific. Intensive farming has become.
l . .. M 11 .nil .
a necessity ana we neeu wi m
the ' need for education along that
line cannot be too strongly empha
sized." rr!
"A cold storage plan should ' be
established in every city and town
In Kansas," he said. "If it.can pe
v..n nthar wuv. the municipal
ity 'should establish and maintain It.
"A municipal market house ougj&t
to be also one of the assets of every
. a J
city. Then whenever tne price oi
nrnitnce went too high, by reason
of a monopoly, the city could go In
to business along that line ; nd
break' the market, as was done re
cently in the egg market in several
Eastern cities. These two measures
would help in holding down the in
creasing cost of living." , v

Orr's Senatorial Ambition May Hurt
His State Chances,
Topeka, Jan. 11. The impression
appears to prevail among the Dem
ocratic statesmen in Topeka today
that W. L. Brown of Kingman is the
leader In the race for speaker of the
Kansas house. Because he has an
nounced his intention of running for
United States senator, J. M. Orr. ap
parently lost ground today. Several
members Insisted that Orr should
let someone who is not seeking fur
ther political honors to be speaker
and Orr would be noor ieaaer. urr
refused today to say how ' many
pledges he had. Wednesday lie eaid
he had thirty-eight sure votes pledg
ed and yesterday It was forty-two.
