America Far Americans. The time has come, as suggested by Senator Newlands, to have a na . ioiial policy in respect to the negro. It has come because of the need of a nation al policy respecting all races, that are not white. This is a ceun’ i.ry for the wbito race, and if races of other colors are permitted to par. ticipate in its goverement there is bound to be trouble, sooner or later A country to be great and strong must be peopled and governed by those who love it and have an abund ance and patriotism. The "brown and yellow and black races, not as simiiating with the white, cannot have much love of countiy if they are not permitted to have an equal partin its government, and the white race isn’t going to consent tb that. Therefore there is sure to, be . anta* gonism betweeu the /aces, ■ particu larly if the weaker r:ic-s aie allowed to have certain privileges and denied others.

There is hardly a comniunitvj this countiy where women cannot be found who have bee restored -to health by this famous old remedy, mai exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During the past 30 years we have published thousa of letters from these grateful women who have been cun by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and neii in all that time have we published a testimonial wit! the writer’s special permission. Never have we knowin u published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuu Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone dou that this is a true and honest statement of a woman’s exp ence with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and ask her. ~ Houston, Texas.—“ When I first began taking Lydia E. ham’s Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. 1 had sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspop and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor’s medicine*,l nothing did me any good. “ For three years I lived on medicines and thought I woti never get well, when I read an advertisment of Lydia E. ham’s Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it. “My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it! me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woo and enjoy the best of health. “I advise all women suffering from such troubles to Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound a trial. They u regret it, for it will surely cure you.” — Mrs. Bessie L. 819 Cleveland St., Houston. Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish su not to give such a medicine as this a trial.
