GrilLULtSS HOMES Read Mrs. Benedict's Letter Praising Lydia EPinkham't Vegetable Compound Kewanee, Illinois. "When I waf married about a year and a half I took i Lydia E. Pink barn's Vegetable Compound be. causcof ill health.

I did not have any children. I now have two healthy little girls and I am lure I would not have had them had it not been for your medicine. Last spring and summer I cot all run down, irregular, and I bad awful headaches, and my back and side hurt me so that I could stay up only a short time. My limbs would get so tired and ache till I could cry. I started to take the Vegetable (impound again and used the Sanative Wash, and it was not long till I was relieved.

Now 1 do all my own work and help others. I sure praise Lydia Pinkham's medicines to anyone I meet that is suffering from similar troubles. I think if mothers with girls would give it to them when they come to womanhood it would make them stronger. People who have known me all my life are astonished to see me now as I was always sickly when in my 'teens and until I started taking the Vegetable Compound." Mrs. MaryB.

Add to this the balance on hand In the treasury the first of the yesr( $1,421,530.98, and you have a total of or nn average of $8,471,280.45 for the two years. "It should be taken Into consider, ation that Governor Hyde's admin istration spent approximately $4, 000,000 for new buildings.

Governor Hyde also had to take care of un paid bills In 121 of $1,160,279, making a totai of $5,150,279. From this amount should be substracted the 3 925 deficiency, amounting to approximately $700,000. Thus Governor Hyde expended $4,450,279 more than it will be necessary for Governor Baker to expend, or $1, 112.669 more per year. "Take Governor Hyde's average expense of (8,838,169 per year and subtract therefrom the average nmount expended for new buildings and the excess deficiency over that Inherited by Governor Baker, $1, 112,569, and you have the average expense of the Hyde administration, $7,726,690, representing the needs of the state government as administered by Governor Hyde, admittedly the most extravagant administration lr the history of the state. "We thus find that Governor Baker can reasonably expect to have an average revenue of $8,471,280.45 for the two years of this biennial period.

Subtracting Governor Hyde's average of necessary expense of $745,680.45 more money to administer the affairs of the state with than had Governor Hyde. "Governor Baker's program calls for the raising of four million dollars more revenue during the years 1915 and the Democratic position Is that this Is an unnecessary burden upon the already over taxed people. Senator Fainter added that many Republican were of the same opinion and "It Is very doubtful If the governor's tax raising program can be enacted Into law, GENERAL DAWES IN ATTACK ON SENATE (Continued from Pure One) grettable" that Mr. Dawes had made a necessarily formal ceremony "ridl culous," while Senator Reed, Demo crat, Missouri, declared that ths vlce president's "melody of voice, grace of gvtture and majesty of presence were only excelled his modesty.
