When you think about
our shoe store, just re.
member two things:
First, the marvellous
growth of our shoe busi-
ness in the face of active
competition is due to the
brains and the capital in
vested, united with the
methods that, COM
manding the respect Of
our public, have created
an ever increasing con-
stituency. Second, if
this thing be true, our
shoe news has a particu-
lar claim upon your at
tention.

Just such cases as the above leak out
In women's circles, and that is why the
confidence of the women of America is
bestowed upon Mrs. Pinkham.
Why are not physicians more candid
with women when suffering from such
ailments?
Women want the truth. and If they
cannot get it from their doctor, will
seek it elsewhere.

A REPTBLTCiN POPE.

For more than quarter Of century the Caiho-
lies in Italy have been dcbarrcd by order of the
Church from taking any part in Parliamentary
elections To what extent these commands Of
the Vatican have been obcycd may be gathered
from the fact that In country Of practically
universal suffrage. where the adult male popua
ton numbers according to the latest census con
slderably over 10.000.W0. not more than | 600
600 have ever yet cast their votes M the polls
at any general election. Time and again II has
been urged upon the Qulrnal to come to some
understanding with tn" Vatican. in order that
the latent and wcllngh overwhelming force
constituted by tho hitherto unused votes might
be placed by the Papacy At the disposal Of the
Government. and thus render the latter indie.
