An Important Legal Victory

the courage of his convictions. lie Is the
inventor and proprietor of "Foot-Ease," q
well-known proprietary article of merit and

Olmsted has been 4 heavy advertiser and,
backed up by the superior quality of the
article he has offered to the public, has been
able to make a trademark of great value.
Others have noted this with jealous eye and.
have sought, by underhand methods and by
copying, to stpal-"steal' Is the word ex-
ectly fitting the crime--the benefits to be

Mr.. Olmsted engaged eminent counsel and

had made a household word on two CONT

the courage of his convictions, for another
man might have smarted under the sting OF

FAMOUS TREATIES.

portant, Named After 1t.
Chicago News: IT Russians and Jap
anese really negotiate their peace agree
ment at Washington the treaty viii be
known as the treaty of Washington"
Among the most important of the worlds
treaties are the following: The treaty of
Westphalia (ls4S), which ended the thirty
years war. The peace of the Pyrenees
$3.50 definitely marked the fall CT Spain
from its position as the leader of Europe.
A historian says: When Spain signed
with France the peace of the Pyleaees she
signed away with it the last remnant OF
the supremacy she had exercised in Eur
ope. France, the victor, took the place
of Spain in the councils of the continent"
BY the peace of Augsburg (l555) religious
freedom was assured to Germany and
the war between Protestants and Catho-
lies came to an end. The treaty of Ut
recht in lbs terminated the war of the
Spanish succession.
A number of the most important treat
ties in modern history are lllauwn as the
treaties of Paris. They are six IN number
and bear the dates of 1863, 1GS3, 1914, 1915,
1856 and 1898. The first Of the series mark
ed the end of the seven years Var. Among
other things it provided for the cession to
Great Britain and Canada ana The region
east OF the MISSISSIPPI river. Ihe treaty
of Paris, September 5, 1883, between Great
Britain and the United StaErs, marked
the close of the American res tution and
recognized the independence the colon
les. The aggressions of l5s.(nce under
Napoleon found their conclE. top in the
treaties of Paris of 1914 and 1915, by the
second OF which France was compelled to
pay an indemnity to the allies amount
ing in all to near $500, 0 ,G00.
In 1856 a treaty of Paris was concluded
among the powers at the close Of the
Crimcan war. 1t provided that the Black
sea should be neutralized and that it
should be thrown open to the merchant
marine of every ration. The treaty Of
PARIS of December 10, 1898, terminated the
SpanislrAmerican war. Spain reinquish-
cd her sovereignty in Cuba and ceded Por-
to Rico, Guam and the Philippines to the
United States. For the Philippines it re-
ceived 500 0O, GOO. Other important treaties
We're that of Berlin, settling the eastern
question QS1S) and Frankfort-on-the-Main
(May 10, 1SI1), securing peace between
France and Germany.
Latin was formerly the anguage used
in treaties. But treaties to which several
European powers are parties are now
generally drawn up in French, the use OF
which became common in the time of
Louis XIV, but the final act of the con-
gress of Vienna QS15) contains a protest
against the use of this language being OBJ
ligatory. a great European treaty usually
begins: In the name of the Most Holy
and Indivisable Trinity" or if the Sultan
of Turkey is a party, In the: name of AL
mighty God"

fa5 Free, and aluays Helpful

F1Rsr.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon Women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as b~ackache, Irregular
and painful menstruation, ~leucorrhoea,
displacements of the uterus, pain in
the side, burning sensation in the stom-
ach, bearing-down pains, nervousness,
dizziness and sleeplessness.
SEcoNp.-The medicine that holds
che record for the largest number OF
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing ~baczache,
kidney troubles, all utter
inc and ovarian inflammation, weak
ness and displace1nents, regulating
m~enstruation perfectly and overcom-
ing it's pains. 1t has also proved itself
Invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change Of life.
TH1KD.-The great volume Of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published BY permission, give alb
solute evidence Of the value Of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
FoURrH.-Every ailing woman in the
United States is asked to ACCEPT the
following invitation. 1t is free, will
bring you health and may save your
life.
Mrs. Pin;Shar1's Standing Invitation
to Women.--Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way OF recovery

perience in treating female ills Mrs.
Pinkham probably has the very knowl'
edge that will help your case. Surely,
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage OF this
generous offer of assistance.
