The Executive Committee of the

called to meet In Albany, Tburuday.
May twenty-first. The call was Is
sued at the Instance of the Chair
man, Hon. H. M. McIntosh, and its
object is tbe promulgating of rules
and regulations for the primary,
which Is to be held this year for re
presentative In Congress In accord
with the old established custom of
1 the Democratic party,
i The 3tate Exoeutlve Committee
does not take unto itself tbe power
of forming rules for either county
or congressional primaries. That
; is left te the discretion of the cara-
1 niittees In direct supervision of the
election, as is most proper. The
State Committee, however, has
adopted a county unit plan, which
the party has endorsed on several
occasions. This plan should be like
wise applicable to the congressional
primaries. What Is good for the
stale ought to he good enough tor
its Integral parts. If the people of
Georgia favor the county unit rule,
the Second Congressional district
would also fr.vor It. If the State
Committee conducts the election? at
the primary on the county unit plan,
the plan Is good enough for the peo
ple of the Second district. We be
lieve the majority of them would
favor it.
This Is one of the questions which
•vlll be considered In the meeting

that one of America's Ills today Is
that there Is too much science In the
so-called educational system and
too little God Almighty, has occas
ioned some comment here this morn
ing.
Mr. Marshall said because the
Church and State are separate, and
because tbe state makes the schools,
the church feels absolved from any
duty In the direction of educating
the'youth of the lsnd.
The Vice-President also mads It
known that some day l?e would for
get the other parties and Join the
Socialists. He added that he would
not do this, however, until the So
cialist party becomes a friend of the
church, but never while It flaunted
its red banner In the face of the
marriage service. He said he be
lieves in Socialism, In a way, now,
and hopes sometime to adhere to It.
He says that party should not con
cern Itself with a consideration of
power or property, but of the spirit
of the times.

Reliable evidence Is abundant that women
are constantly being restored to health by
Lydia B. PinkhanTs Vegetable Compound
' The many testimonial letters that we are continually ptib-
lishing in the newspapers—hundreds of them—are all genu*
ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women, solely through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind Of influence obtain
such recommendations; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true—if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given, and learn for yourself. "
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Camdin, N.J.—“I was sick for two yean with nervous spells, and
my kidneys were affected. I had a doctor all the time and used a
galvanic battery, but nothing did me any good. I was not able to go
to bed, but spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health, and my husband heard of Lydia K Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief ana now I
am like a new woman and am at my usual weight I recommend
ycur medicine to every one add so does my husband.”—Mrs. Tnxm
Wa ' _
Waters, 1135 Knight St, Camden, KJ.
And this one from Mrs. Haddock:
Utica, Okla.— h I was weak and nervous, not able to do my work
and scarcely able to be on my feet I had backache, headache, palpi
tation of the heart' trouble with my bowels, ahd inflammation. Since -
taking the Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound I am better
than I have been for twenty years. 1 think it is a wonderful medi
cine and I have recommended it to others.”—Mrs. Hast Amv Had
dock, Utica, Oklahoma. ^
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E.

it has saved many others—why should it fail in your case?
