to give you my testimonial in favor of

Vegetable Com

began taking it 1
was suffering from
female troubles foi

J in sides, and press-

could not sleep and
had no appetite. Since I have taken
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound the aches and pains are all gone
and I feel like a new woman. I cannot
praise your medicine too highly. "Mrs.
Augustus Lyon, Terre Hill, Pa.
It Is true that nature and a woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's Ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ilia which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of dmn ever com
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham 'i
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ilia.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations."

Democrats Declare Cause forDe
mocracy's Division Disappeared.
Nashville, Tenn., May 27 The fol
lowing platform was adopted by the
State Democratic convention:
"The Democrats of Tennessee, in con
vention assembled, reaffirm their alle
giance to the national Democracy. We
heartily indorse the able administration
of President Woodrow Wilson and we
especially commend his action in try
ing to bring harmony in Tennessee De
mocracy. "Recent events in Tennessee have
demonstrated beyond question that
there is no longer any real cause for
division among the , Democrats of this
State, and we congratulate the Demo
crats of Tennessee for the liberal spirit
manifested by both factions in assem
bling in this great convention to name
a standard bearer and to declare a plat
form of principles upon 'which a suc
cessful appeal may be made to the peo
ple in the November election.
AH8CONDKNCE CONDEMNED.
"Democracy means majority rule!
Legislation is the result of s majority
action by the representatives of the peo
ple. The preventing legislation by ab
sconding minority has grown to an al
arming extent, and we condemn such
practice aa undemocratic, un-American
and unwise. We favor the enactment
of such laws as will prevent the repeti
tion of this practice. Our State is now
suffering from the effect of such unlaw
ful and willful practice. One notable
example is that the State is now paying
seven per cent interest on its indebted
ness, and has been for over a year, when
it should have been paying about four
per cent.
PURE FOOD AND DKUGS.
"We commend the pure food and
drug laws now in force and favor such
additional legislation as will further pro
tect the health and safety of the people
of the State. ,
ELECTION LAWS. ,
"The Democratic party has alwas fa
vored honest and fair elections. Elec
tion laws should be so written and ad
ministered as to record the will of the
voter aa cast at the polls, and not for the
purpose of influencing voters. We be-
TENNESSEE MAN SUFFERED
40 YEARS; HAPPINESS IN A DAY
J. T. Castleman, of Dyer, Finds
Hope Fulfilled After Passing
Threescore Years.
J. T. Castleman, of Dyer, Tenn., suf
fered from stomach derangement for
forty years, taking all sorts of medicine,
following all kinds of medical advice.
In all that forty years, he said, he
never had a real good day until he
tried Mayr's Wondorful Stomach Rem
' edy. Then he discovered something.
Let his letter tell about it:
"The first dose of Mayr's Wonderful
Stomach Remedy caused gall stones to
pass from me. I am feeling much bet
ter than I have ever before. . I am 64
years old and I had never before en
joyed one whole good day.
"I would not give the one sample dose
you sent me for all the drug and doctors'
medicine that is made."
Mr. Castleman 's experience is like
that of thousands of others who have
taken Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Rem
edy. Old folks and young folks alike
praise it.
Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy
clears the digestive tract of mucoid ac
cretions and removes poisonous matter.
It brings swift relief to sufferers from
stomach derangements, liver and intes
tinal disorders. Many declare it has
saved them from dangerous operations;
many are sure it saved their lives.
The success of this remedy has caused
many imitators, so be cautious. Be sure
it's MAYR'S. Go to Oliver's Red Cross
Drug Store and ask about the wonder
ful results it has accomplished or send
to Geo. II. Mayr, Mfg. Chemist, 154
150 Whiting street, Chicago, III., for
free book on stomach ailments, and
many letters from grateful people who
have been restored. Any .druggist can
tell you its wonderful results.

lieve that bona fide representation should
be given to both political parties on the
State board of election commissioners,
and it was for the want of bona fide
representation that we have heretofore
criticized the present election laws. This
law is a good one if properly adminis
tered, and we pledge our party to main
tain the present election law, and to the
fair administration, thereof, to the end
that the spirit of the same will be car
ried out and both parties properly and
equitably represented.
TEMPERANCE, LAW ENFORCEMENT.
"Tho Democratic party has always
stood for temperance and good govern
ment. All the laws now in force were
enacted by votes of the majority of the
Democrat members of each branch of the
Legislature. We are opposed to the re
peal of any of the temperance laws now
in force, and we pleege the Democratic
party to their maintenance and to such
additional legislation as may be neces
sary to insure their rigid enforcement.
PUBLIC BCHOOL8.
"We recognize tha public school as
our most valuable asset in the develop
ment of our future citizenship, and the
Democratic party stands to-day, as it
has always stood, the friend of public
education. '
'We congratulate the people of the
State on the great advancement made
in education in this State. We com
mend the liberal appropriation to the
several departments of our public school
system,' and we pledge the people that
the same liberal policy shall obtain, to
the end that every boy and girl in Ten
nessee shall have the opportunity of se
curing the advantage of a public school
education. We favor legislation look
ing to cheapen test books and to com
pel boards of education to furnish free
books to school children.
JpENSIONS.
"We favor adequate pensions to our
Confederate soldiers and sailors, and we
favor the continuation of same, to the
end that these patriots shall be properly
and permanently cared for.
LABOR LAWS.
"We renew our allegiance to the pro
hibition of child labor and we guaran
tee the enforcement of the laws which
will protect the children in the enjoy
ment of the benefits of public educa
tion. "We recognize that the protection of
our womanhood is one of the greatest
and noblest duties and that our govern
ment should not honorably permit a
system of unreasonable hours for our
working women. We therefore pledge
the party to the regulation of work days
for women.
GOOD ROADS.
"We commend the great movement
in the interest of good roads in the
State and favor such enactment as may
be necessary to meet the requirements
of federal aid as embodied in the
Shackleford good roads bill, and we
further favor the working of short term
convicts on our public highways.
"We pledge ourselves to the protec
tion of the State banking department
in its efforts to perfect financial condi
tions in this State and to strengthen the
banking laws in whatever respects may
be necessary to protect the interest of
the people dealing with the State banks.
PRIMARY LAWS.
"We declare for a legalized primary
law for the nomination of all party can
didates, and for a law requiring thor
ough publicity of campaign contribu
tions and expenditures.
workman's compensation.
. "We favor a workingraan's compen
sation law fair alike to employer and
employe, and we favor the proper regu
lations of the rates and charges of all
public service corporations, and we op
pose the issuance of passes by trans
portation companies, except to their
bona fide employes, and we favor in
cluding the powers of the Railroad
Commission so that the health, safety
and comfort of the traveling public may
be fully protected, and to compel the
corporations to perform the duties they
owe the public.
' BACK AND CURRENT TAXES.
"In the assessment of property we
favor a policy having for its object a
fair, equitable and just treatment of all
taxpayers alike. We oppose discrim
ination as among the different classes
of taxpayers and demand that all prop
erty, real, personal and mixed, be com
pelled to bear its proportionate part of
the tax burden, subject only to those
exemptions authorized by the legisla
tion of our State. Especially do we de
mand that personalty of every charac
ter not otherwise exempt, including in
tangible corporation property, be made
to bear its share of the tax levy as now
required on farm lands and other class
es of real property.

from the assessments landed estates of
a prosperous farmer than to permit the
hidden securities of thrifty capitalists
and tax dodgers to entirely escape the
tax roles. While it must be admitted
that many millions of dollars' worth of
personal property annually escapes as
sessment in 'our State, it cannot be de
nied that there is scarcely a foot of Boil
that is not each year forced to yield a
high tax tribute that the laws demand.
We deciare and instruct for the thor
ough modification, revision and recon
struction of the laws of Tennessee with
reference to the assessment and collec
tion of all taxes, to the end that all
property in this State may with least
expense and vexation to the people be
made to bear its proper and equitable
tax burden, and to this end we declare
and instruct for the passage of legisla
tion which will insure: .
"First That all taxes shall be prompt
ly, fairly and equally assessed, and that
all taxes, so nearly as possible, be col
lected while currently due, without the
necessity of vexatious and expensive
tax litigation.
"Second That current assessments
may be so thorough and fair that neces
sity for any back assessments shall be
reduced to an absolute minimum and
shall be limited to the proper and
equitable and inexpensive back assess
ment of property which has been omit
ted entirely, and which as a result of
actual fraud has been inadequately as
sessed. "Third We declare in favor of the
passage of an act to the effect that after
property has been regularly enlisted ana
assessed by the tax assessor and its value
fixed and passed by a county board of
equalization, and having passed the
State Board of Eqalization, such prop
erty shall not be made subject to back
assessments.
"Fourth We favor the collection of
such limited back taxes as can by the
result' of diligence be collected when
due. The collection ol sucn nacic taxes
should be promptly and inexpensively
made- by the county trustee, aided by
the county trustee or attorney-general,
and such revenue should be turned into
tlie treasury. , ....
"Fifth That a tax commission bo
created and empowered to make all tax
assessments uniformly and thoroughly.
"Sixth Back tax .litigation' should,
not be expensive, vexatious or produc
tive of burdens to the citizens. We
pledge our nominee for Governor when
elected to appoint a commission of six
competent men, two from each grand
division of the State, and who will serve
without compensation, to carry out the
provisions of this platform with refer
ence to taxation.
FEE BYSTEttl.
"We are opposed to the payment of
fees to certain public officers out of all
proportion to the service rendered, and
we favor the payment of salaries to such
officials and the payment of the fees
into the public treasury.
AGRICULTURE.
"We favor liberal appropriations for
the advancement of the farming inter
ests of the State and we pledge the party
to the development of our agricultural
resources.
"We denounce the Republican party
of Tennessee in unmeasured terms for
laying false claim to every good law en
