character in the story IS the Jewish land

OF the most malignant sort
The SUM characters brought upon the
scene are pathetic, revolving disheartening,
terrifying. humorous, and in more than one
instance admirable. We follow the fortunes
of many of them in the course of Ike story.
There is happy ending in SO far as this is
possible through a phianthropic employ
ment OF money TO better conditions in Cher
ry Tree Court. but. save for the uplifting
motive. there is no central interes. attach
ing TO the story. and there is al almost
utter lack Of the love element. The author
has. however. done some keen character
drawing. and 1t is plain that his people are
types from real life. and that he is sincerely
interested i'll their lives and the problem of
betterment. His literary style is con-
rincinG!y strong and clear.

Miss Agnes Miller, of Chicago,
speaks to young women about
dangers of the Menstrual Period
how they can avoid pain,
suffering and remove the cause.
Il suffered for six years with dys-
menorrhea painful periods, so much so
that dreaded every month, as knew
it meant three or four days of intense
pain. The doctor said this was due
to an infiamed condition of the uterine
appendages caused by repeated and
neglected colds and feet wetting.
IF young girls only realized how
dangerous it is to take cold at this
critical time, much suffering would be
spared them. Thank God for Lydia

which helped me any. Within three
weeks after l started to take it, l
