CANDIDATE TAFT IK
THE HAWKEYE STATE
Maker "Speeches at a Number
of Points in Iowa.
Clinton, la., Sept. 26.—Iowa wel
comed William H. Taft and listened to
his voice throughout the day as his
special train touched at Clinton, Dav
en port, Muscatine, Wapella, Burling
ton, Ottumwa and Des Moines.
Governor Cummins headed a com
mittee of escort, which also had as a
member John J. Lacey, who Is the
governor's opponent for the senat
and Representative Walter I. Smith.
B. F. Carroll, nominee for governor,
and a number of local leaders.
Mr. Taft's voice, which had troubled
him much, was in decidedly better
condition when he addressed a large
crowd in l)e Witt park at Clinton.
The candidate devoted himself to the
labor question, reiterating what he
has heretofore said on that subject,
by holding up the Republican legisla
tive record In comparison with Deni
ocratic promises, and finally pledging
himself to do everything In his power,
if elected, as he expressed confidence
he would be, to put labor on an exact
equality before the law with all other
citizens.
Governor Cummins preceded Mr
Taft In sn address in which he
pledged the national ticket the most
hearty support.
Judge Taft's voice, though evidenc
ing continued improvement under the
constant attention of Dr. Richardson,
was not adequate to reach half of
those who filled the courthouse
grounds at Davenport to see and lis
ten to the candidate. The speech
was preceded by a parade through
the profusely docorated streets and
the schedule was extended to permit
of a longer meeting than had been
planned.

Indianapolis, Sept. 26.—William J.
Bryan made a brief stop here en route
to Terre Haute. Aboard his car on
his journey from Cincinnati to this

bers that greeted him and the enthu
siasm shown, he said, exceeded any
thing he had before experienced In
his campaigns in Ohio. Asked by one
of his friends how he was standing
the trip Mr. Bryan replied that he
was in form.
"I never felt better ta ay life," be
tald.
So far Mr. Bryan has not undertak
en the preparation of his reply to
President Roosevelt's letter and it is
not probable that he will do SO fot
a day or two.

NATURE
CK
AKD A WOMAN'S WORK
LYDIA E. PINKHAM
Nature and a woman's work com
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world n as eve know n.
In the good old-fashioned days of!
our grandmothers they relied upon i
the roots and herbs of the field to I
cure disease and mitigatu suffering,
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that baffle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. llnkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe
culiar ills, more potent and effica
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as tin
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C. St.,
Louisiana, Mo., writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
For twelve years I had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
Din ing that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times 1
could hardly walk. About two years
ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women."
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound did for Mrs. Mufi
it will do for other suffering women
