I The letters of Miss Merkley, whose pic-1
ture is printed above, and Miss Claussen,
prove beyond question that thousands of (
of inflammation of the ovaries and I
cases I
womb are annually cured by the use of
Lydia E® Pinkham's Vegetable Compound®
1C Deah Mrs. Pixkuam : — Gradual loss of strength and nerve force
told me something was radically wrong with me. I had severe shooting
pains throught the pelvic organs, cramps and extreme irritation com
pelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor said that I had ovarian •
trouble and ulceration, and advised an operation. I strongly objected to
this and decided to try Lydia E Pinkham-s V^etahle Compound
I soon found that my judgment was correct, and that all the good
things said about this medicine were true, and day by day I felt less
pain and increased appetite. The ulceration soon healed, and the other
complications disappeared and in eleven weeks I was once more strong
and vigorous and perfectly well.
u My heartiest thanks are sent to you for the great good vou have
done me. — Sincerely yours, Miss Margaret Merkley, 275 Third St.,
Milwaukee, Wis.
rUss Claussen Saved from a Surgical Operation.
1 « Dear Mrs. Pinkham: —It seems to me that
t j all the endorsements that I have read of the value
of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Gompound medicine do not express really
one-half of the virtue the great
tm possesses. I know that it saved my life and I
want to give the credit where it belongs. I suf
E fered with ovarian trouble for five years, had three
& operations and spent hundreds of dollars on doc
tors and medicines but this did not cure me
after all. :
44 However, what doctors and medicines failed, , .. , i
to do, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound did. Twenty bottles restored me to per
i T- fect health and I feel sure that had I known of its
/■ \ value before, and let the doctors alone, I would
A ! have been spared all the pain and expense that
/fruitless operations cost me. If the women who are suffering, and
! the doctors do not help them, will try Lydia E. I inkham s v ege
’table Compound, they will not be disappointed with the results. —

CANAL CASH
IS PAID OVER
Paris Bankers Volunteer to France
Deal With Company.
TO EXPEDITE HATTERS
Draft Will Be Honored Promptly on
Presentation to Uncle Sam at
United States Treasury.
Attorney General Knox has received
cablegrams from Messrs. Day and
Russell, who went to Paris as his
representatives to conduct the closing
negotiations for the Panama canal
property, to the effect that the deeds
of the property, archives and all other
papers and documents which will be
long To the United States under the
transfer have already been turned
over to them, and that the purchase
price of $40,006,000 has been advanced
to the canal company by a Paris syn
dicate of bankers.
This syndicate, it is understood, of
fered to pay over the money with a
view to expediting the consummation
of the sale on the assurance of the
attorney general that the draft on the
United States for $40,000,000 would be
honored on presentation at the treas
ury at Washington.
At the time the money was paid
over to the canal company in Paris,
Major Mark Brooke, of the engineer
corps of the army, now in Colon, was
authorized to formally receive •he
property on the isthmus in the name
of the United States.
Whether this transfer has actually
been made by the republic of Panama
the department of justice has not v«t
been advised, but it is assumed it will
be made within a day or two. Messrs.
Day and Russell are expected to re
turn to Wasningfon within the next
ten days and will bring with them
the title deeds of the canal property.
Though sympathizing with the ef
forts of the European holders of Co
Iombian bonds to induce? the new s f ate
of Panama to assume some share ef
the foreign indebtedness of Colombia,
tEe state department has made no
move in that matter since the re

the body of Judge Simonton had been

CHANGE OF DATE
Suggested for Memorial Day in South
by Judge Aiken in Oakland Ceme
le ry in Atlanta.
A movement to have the date of
Memorial day in tbe south changed
from April 2C to June 3 was launch
ed by Judge John W. Akin, of Car
tersville, Ga., during his speech Tues
day afternoon at Oakland cemetery,
Atlanta, as the orator of the day for
the Ladies’ Memorial Association, and
his suggestion provoked prolonged and
hearty applause.
If the members of the Ladies’ Me
morial Association agree with Judge
Akin regarding the matter, it is prob
able that the matter will be brought
to the attention of the general assem
bly of Georgia during the meeting
that is to be held this June, with the
request that June 3 be made a legal
holiday instead of April 26.
Two arguments were presented by
Judge Akin as to why the date of Me
morial day should be changed. The
first reason was that there is a dearth
of flowers on April 26, and the second
was that June 3 is the anniversary of
the birthday of President Jefferson
Davis.
Regarding this suggestion Judge
Akin said:
*. Here I leave my prepared speech
to make a suggestion to you. The
weather today is sufficient argument
In favor of what I say. I suggest that
Memorial day be moved from April 26
to June 3, which is the birthday of
the president of our southern confed
eracy, Jefferson Davis. (Cheers.)
“As I say the weather we have to
day is sufficient argument why this
should be done. Let the ladies, through
their organizations, take the lead, and
the state legislatures will follow. We
will make a national holiday of the
birthday of Jefferson Davis.
“Here in the cities where flowers
can be bought from the stores it is
I)ac * enou 6h, but you will find in the
coun try a dearth of flowers for use on
j Memorial day.
