The back is the mainspring of woman’s organism. It quickly calls attention to trouble by ach- ing. It tells, with other symp- toms, such as nervousness, head- ache, pains in the side, that a woman’s feminine organism needs immediate attention. In such eases the one sure rem- edy whith speedily removes the cause and restores the feminine organism to a healthy, normal condition is LYDIA E, PINKHAM’S VEGETABLE COMPOUND Mrs. Will Young of 6 Columbia Av., Rockland, Me., says: “I was troubled for a long time with dreadful backaches and a pain in my side, and was miserable in every way. I doctored until I was discouraged and thought I would never get well. I read what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable bee png had done for others and de- eided to try it. After taking three bot- tles I can truly say that I never felt 80 well in my life.” Mrs. Augustus Lyon of East Earl, Pa., writes to Mrs, Pinkham: “I had very severe backaches, head- aches and was nervous. I could not sleep, and had no appetite. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound cured me and made me feel Vike a new woman.” FACTS FOR SICK. WOMEN For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard rem- edy for female ills, and has positively eured thousands of women troubled with fibroid tumors, headache, back-

TCRUNDEN FAILS IN ATTEMPT 10 MUZZLE GERHART Sharp Exchange of Words in Hearing on Grade Cross- ing Measures.

EWING OPPOSES BILLS

Chairman of Council Com- mittee Says ‘““Get Down to Cases.” Three bills to compel the depression of railroad tracks between Chouteau avenue and King’s highway andthe abolition of several grade crossings, including that at Tower Grove Station, will be favor- ably reported next week by the Coun- cil’s Committee on Rallroads. Chairman Mark Ewing of the commit- tee opposes the bills on the ground that they were not prepared and submitted to the Municipal Assembly by the Board of Public Imprevements and because their enforcement will impose hardships »» industrial concerns in Tower Grove. The measures are illegal and imprac- tical for those reasons, Mr. Ewing. says. Councilman Crunden agrees with Chair- man Ewing as to the illegality of the bills, but says he wil] vote for them in any event so that the city may deter- mine just what is the lawful procedure. Ceuncilman Cramer, the other member »f the committee, has all along con- tended that the city may. exercise its nolice powers in forcing the railroads to eliminate grade crossings. Gerhart and €runden Clash. At the public hearing which the com- mittee conducted Friday Frank H. Ger- hart and Councilman Crunden came fre- yvently into collision in consequence of Crunden’s motion that advocates and op- nenents of the bills be prevented from making speeches. Mr. Crunden declared that the committee wanted to be en- lightened as to the legal and engineer- ing problems presented by the three measures and that to get information the committee should ask questions on specific peints. Mr. Gerhart was the first speaker and at once ebjected to Mr. Crunden's meth- ods. Gerhart quoted Julius. .Pitzman as one engineer who favored the scheme of abolition outlined in the bill. Crunden said’ Pitzman was one of those who ad- vocated an open subway under the tracks. “That conversation~ between me and Mr. Pitgman took place within the last 60 days,”” said Crunden. “But I have seen him today,’’ yelled Gerhart. inder Mr. Crunden’s examination Gerhart said he had obtained from At- torney Andrew M. Sullivan an opinion that the bills were legal. The feasi- bility of the plan, from a practical view-point, Mr. Gerhart said, was ad- mitted also by Carl Gayler and@ other engineers. At this point Gerhart produced four closely typeWritten pages of argument ani several amendments which he asked to have added to the bills. When he began reading and explaining the amendments, Chairman Mark Ewing in- terrupted him with the remark that “there was no use in rubbing it in.” “Get Down to Cases,” Says Ewing. “Get down to cases on the cost of this depression and the damage to man- ufacturers affected,’’ Ewing command- ed. “There is no reason why we should Be persecuted by the reading of lofg documents like that,” Mr. Crunden complained. “As a citizen of St. Louis anh one of its heaviest taxpayers, I have a right to express my views fully at a public hearing of the Council,’ Ger- hart retorted, as he turned to his manu- script. “Well, I didn’t take the job of Coun- cilman to endure that sort of thing,” Crunden said, arising as if to quit the hearing. “But you took an oath to perform your duty. Mr. Crunden. This -x- planation of mire is perfectly parlia- mentary and I {insist on making it.” “It may be parliamentary, but we know it all by heart,’’ Crunden inter- jected. Gerhart complained at the interrup-

tions and was about to commence read- ing again when Crunden said: “We just wanted to help you.” “No man on earth can assist me in expressing myself. I have an original style and I want no aid from anyone,” Gerhart replied, hotly. ‘Well, maybe we can help you to cut it short,” Crunden remarked. This angered Gerhart and he turned fiercely on Crundeh. “This isn’t the first time you shown your feelings against me, Crunden,.”’ he said, with warmth. “Oh, there’s nothing personal in my remarks," Crunden said. “I know it is,only official, and I am too broad to resort* to personalities,’’ Gerhart answered with much asperity. “Yes, you look it,’ from Crunden. The colloquy was stopped at this juncture by Chairman Ewing who asked Gerhart to proceed. Question of “Throwing Slurs.” After explaining that the industrial concerns in Tower Grove would not be inconvenienced or damaged by the de- pression of the railroad tracks, Gerhart concluded with the statement that if they were, the question of property should not be considered as against a question of lives menaced by the grade crossing. “But of course that won't interest Mr. Crunden,”’ he ea “Why do you throw slurs at me?’ have Mr. Crunden “You always throw them at me. don’t you, and every time I come to this Council?” Gerhart returned. William B. Cumberland Who said he was opposed to the bills raised a laugh ' he advocated what the bills pro-

- Claude Wetmore and ASsoci- ates Say Field Is Fifty Miles From City. Four bills contemplating: the piping of natural gas to St. Louis from Okla- homa and Illinois are now before the | Municipal Assembly, two more, one in each branch, having been introduced Friday. A bill presented to the Council by Mr. Crunden grants a franchise to Wffson Foster (the “Quartz King’’), who claims to control gas fields in Illinois. The price fixed for natural gas supplied under this proposed franchise is 30 cents per 1000 cubic feet while it lasts. If artificial gas is furnished the price will be the same. The term of the franchise is 30 vears. Delegate Frank Hussey offered in the House of Delegates a bill authorizing A. W. Cross of Jerseyville, IIL: W. H. Journey, the Mayor of Grafton, Iil.; Ernest Meysenberg of Grafton and Claude H. Wetmore and John P. Far- rington of St. Louis to supply the city with natural gas. Their gas fields are said to be in IIli- nois, within fifty miles of St. Louis. They ask for a franchise for 3 years and offer to sell gas at 35 cents a thousand cubic feet. Foster's bill, except in respect to the life of the franchise and the price of gas, is the same as the Reynolds and Barnsdall measures. The bill presented in behalf of Wetmore and his asso- ciates is a copy of the Reynolds bill. HUSSEY HAS ONE

Special to the Post-Dispatch. ; WARRENSBURG, Mo., Oct. 3.—For the first time in the senatorial campaign Gov. Folk, in his speech here last night, | trained his guns on Senator Stone. The Governor declared that Senator, Stone is an ‘“egg-sucking, sbell-hiding Democrat,’ and that all of the boodlers, saloon keepers and racetrack gamblers were supporting him. “For which I thank God,’ exclaimed the Governor, “as I do not want ther support.” : The Governor saiu that if. after hav- ing served for six years in the Sennte, he had nothing more to his eredit than the introduction of a bill to relieve a Republican officeholder, bonded in a Baltimore company, from responsibility for the shortage in his accounts, he would resign and come home. Gov. Folk attacked Senator Stone vig- orously, and was loudly applauded by a, big crowd that gathered at the Magno- lia Opera House. He was met at the depot by a committee of 100 of bis po- litical friends. Private Bank Robbed of gases.
