4 A WEDNESDAY, When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain remedy had cured numerous cases of female ills, wouldn t any sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would also benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ? Here are two letters which prove the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Fitchville, Ohio.—“ My daughter was all run down, suffered from pains in her side, head and limbs, and could walk but a short distance at a time. She came very near having nervous prostration, had begun to cough a good deal, ' and seemed melancholy by spells. She tried ; two doctors but got little help. Since taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, Blood Purifier and Liver Pills she has im . proved so much that she feels and looks like another girl.”—Mrs. C. Cole, Fitchville, Ohio. J Irasburg, Vermont. —“I feel it my duty to say a few words in praise of your medicine. When I began taking it I had been very sick with kidney and bladder trou bles and nervous prostration. Iam now taking the sixth bot tle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and find myself greatly improved. My friends who call to see me have noticed a great change.”—Mrs. A. H. Sanborn, Irasburg, Vermont. We will pay a handsome reward to any person who will prove to us that these letters are not genuine and truthful —or that either of these women were paid in any way for their testimonials, or that the letters are published without their permission, or that the original letter from each did not come to us entirely unsolicited. What more proof can any one ask ? For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has been th® standard remedy for female ills. No sick woman does justice to herself wiio will not try this famous medicine. Made exclusively from roots and horbs, and has thousands of cures to its credit. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health free of charge. Address Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Increased Cost of Living Causes Increased Cost of Handling Which Increases Express Rates Asaociated Press. Chicago, .Ian. 12. : —Increased cost of handling express packages as a result of higher wages and enlargement of fa cilities wore pleaded yesterday by of ficials of the companies at the Leering of the Illinois Railroad and Warehouse commission, as a justification for ad vances of nearly 70 per cent in the rates out of Chicago. This defense was made in the face of the 300 per eent "melon” recently cut by the Wells- Fargo company and profits of 50 to 75 per cent reported to have been made by other corporations. J. C, Zimmerman, general manager of the Adams Express company ami J. H. Bradley, vice president and traffic manager of the American company, were the witnesses. The testimony was largely in re buttal to that presented at previous hearings by Chicago merchants who filed complaints against the express Free Coupon Good for 2 votes in the Light and Gazette $17,500 grand prize contest. . <■.'

SAN AiMTONIO’S GREATEST CLOTHIERS Aiamo Plaza TWO STORES MAIN PLAZA BACON COLD AS A FISH SHAKESPEARE ONLY WROTE SHAKESPEARE ■ V-.i.ing his belief that Bacon could not have been the author of the works attributed to William Shakespeare, by reason of the fact that Bacon was too busy with other affairs during the twenty wars in which it is conceded the work was done, Dr. W. L. Bring burst Inst night expounded his reasons | . before the Scientific society which con- I ' enod in the assembly rooms in the, Stowers building. A largo number were present and the exercises were -prestd- , od over by the president, Col. J. 3. I Girard. ' i After stating that ho had not paid I much attention to the so-called Bacon । | ian theoK . except to examine it to dis : I cover its falsities, the,speaker went on • |to elaborate bfe opinions. Ht said, in । । part: “F discover a contrast as great as ■ uoitld possibly exist l»etween two earth ly minds; between Baron as we know him as a man. courtier, lawyer, states man, {mlitician, philosopher and writ- I (•r, and the quality anti character ef the intellect manifested in any and ail | of his writings; and that I created the works of Shakespear". ! whether Shakespeare was the author of ; thoR? works or not. 4 ‘Bacon’s mind acted slowly and de- C.iqhc and Colds.-At this sc*son when eoughs are so prevalent, an efiectual rem edy, and one easily obtained, is Perry Painkiller. It is no new nostrum, venoeil by unknown agents, but has stood the tees of over seventy years; and those who the article, internally or externally, wi connect with it grateful recollections of its i TosUy inventor. He lacked every quality, ac ' cording to Dr, W, L. Bring-, hurst, necessary to the writ-, ing the world received from the Bard of Avon. liberate). - , choosing and building with ‘ great care and ample thought. He was . a logician, a master of the inductive ' and the deductive method. Shake- i speare’s unfettered reason, was deeply) spiritual and intuitive. Bacon lacked i the spiritual clement, and passion was ; i absent from his constitution. He was as cold as a fish, calculating and bal ancing like the lawyer and the judge that he was. with judicial and judi , cions discrimination. Shakespeare was ! full of creative energy which acted | spontaneously. He stands nearest in finity of all human intellects. Bacon, ! in spite of the intellectual superiority (that made him eminent among his fei- I lows and illustrious in all after time, exhibited no part of Shakespeare’s I prompt and ready genius.” Could Not Have Written It. The speaker gave many arguments; to prove that Bacon did not and conld not have written the works of Shakes- ; ; peare. "Now. taking into consideration the | time that Bacon gave to public affairs, j in which must be reckoned the several I ' terms that he spent in parliament. I 1 where he was one of the most active , members, making many speeches and serving on important committees; his 1 busy life as a lawyer, the and I preparation that it must have cost a man of his mental habit to become a successful speaker and orator; his dili । jence in the performance of the dnties f the soli.-itor-gcncralship, whivh was J be opposite of a sinecure, and all that) I e wrote as a politician, statesman and | ■ .mi of affairs during the twenty years . of Shakespeare's literary activity, it J JANUARY 12, 1910. seems very wonderful that he had an J time left to devote to philosophy. RuB when we add to the vast result of hiM meditations which has led to the mak-’ ing over of the world’s philosophy, the still greater achievements of Shakes peare, as the humorists would have us do. it would be to ascribe to Lord Ba con an infinite power and au infinite genius. What I mean to say is that it would have been quite impossible for - any man, however gifted, to do all that we know Bacon did, and write all that we know he wrote, with endless pa tience and industry and repetition and revision, and then, in addition, do a I great deal more of another kind of j work of a much higher order, toward I which, judging him by his habits, his | writings and his pursuits, he was im . polled neither by special genius nor । predilection.” 1 FATE OF CREW UNKNOWN.
