TROUBLE FOLLOWED.
Rioting Was Resumed as Soon as
Troops Left Chester.

Chester, Pa, May 26.-Absolute quiet
prevails today following disorderly
scenes last night when crowds of men
and boys attacked some of the trolley
cars operated by men who had taken
the places OF the striking motor men
and conductors The company decided
not to operate cars until later In the
day or until police protection is pro-
vided.
The attack on the cars began early
last night, soon after the last troop of
the state police, who had been on duty
here for weeks, left for their barracks
in another part of the state. There
were no disturbances here while the
state police were on the ground. The
cars were not molested, but they carry
few passengers.
A half dozen cars were attacked last
night in different sections of the city
and several were stoned while passing
through nearby towns. Several shots
were fired also, but no one was ser
iously injured.

He Delivers an Eloquent and

Calls Attention to Great Work
of Physicians and Nurses.

The graduating exercises of the
training school for nurses at Christ's
hospital were held at Grace Cathedral
last night at which the following nurses
received diplomas:
Misses Zaida Alice Freese, Norma
McEachron. Anna Henry, Laura Dahl
man. Myra Myers, Irene Henry.
These nurses had served a three
years course at this noted hospital.
The cathedral was filled with friends
which they received their training. The
impressive and beautiful prayer and
song services of the Episcopal church
opened the exercises. Bishop Mills
paugh read the lesson, the keynote OF
which was the grand thought that 'ev-
cry good thing cometh down from

diplomas. go
Theasix graduated nurses were dress
ed in white and wore their regulation
hospital caps. A; score Of nurses from
the hospital training school, all dress
ed in their regular uniforms were also
present at the exercises.
These graduate nurses have worked
three years at the hospital without
pay and have creditably performed all
the many and exacting requirements OF
the long course. It is generally under
stood that the ideal woman is the good
housewife who riseth before day and
attends we'll to all the needs of her
household. In other words she cooks
we'll, dresses well, cares for her chill
dren and performs all social and church
duties with credit. Thus her husband s
stomach and vanity are satisfied and
the world mods approval But these
nurses have learned to be cool. self-re-
liant young women. They have learn
ed not only to cook but to care for all
the ills of the fesh.7 They spent long
hours over beds of pain and anguish
They have relieved the suffering and
watched the surgeons knife perform
miracles. They have lived with the
sick and seen human nature at Its best
and worst under the supreme test or
pain and death. All who have had ex-
perience in hospitals regard the nurses
as angels of grace and healing. Their
mission is surely one Of if not the high
est. the hardest and most helpful a
woman can have on earth. Noiseless,

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and WOman'S work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmotheps they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs OF the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
OF the world remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and eftica-
cious than any combination OF drugs.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
For twelve years had been suffer
ing with the worst forms OF female Ills.
During that time / had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and ut times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs.. Pinkham for advice.

Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinlzham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It is

women"

Ana the eyes of the man behind

What little of spoil I've garnered,

GLOSSY WAVING LOCKS.
uepene7 Upon Kind Of Shampoo Civ
en- and Method Of prvinr.

lcpene5 Upon Kind Of Shampoo Civ
en- and Method Of Drying.
Glossy waving hair should be tho
lot ol every woman, but how is II to
be made glossy and waving? To tais
l. may be replied that all hair is dr..
ierent and that each variety of hair
requires its own treatment. Tne
treatment which benefits one kind Of
HAIR viii spoil another.
Hair that is dry is almost always
hl!ed with dandruff. This lies next
to the scalp and Is unpleasant to see
1t does not really injure the scalp.
But 1t Sits down and is not nice or
well groomed. Yet, how can it be
helped where the hair is dry?
Here is a cure and, while using it
the hair is benefited greatly. What is
more, its color is improved and. often,
the very tone of the hair is made bet.
ter so that it has more life and
springiness.
Shampoo the hair in a good egg
shampoo. Then rinse it a thousand
times'-to quote London hair dress.
er, And, when it is all yinsed, dry
it well.
Now comes the final touch. Part
off the hair in the middle, making
long parting right from the middle
OF the forehead down to the nap of
the neck. Take a little almond oil,
moisten the finger tips with it, shake
them to take off the supcrfuous drop
and gently 'spat' the parting. Go over
1t lightly but thoroughly until the
scalp shines a little.
Part off the hair again and go over
the next parting in the same manner.
Do not use more than suspicion Of
oil, not enough to drip from the fin
ger tips, and do not, on any account,
get particle upon the hair. This is
the best known treatment for the
scalp.
DRY hair will never shine. but aft
er the scalp is treated it will begin 10
be oily and it will gradually take on a
little gloss. Repeat and it will be
positively lustrous."

A favorite fling of the French at
the English has always been that the
latter are nation of shopkeepers
An English woman has now called
Americans "a nation of housekeep-
ers." During a recent visit to this
country she was struck by the fact
that so many American women Of
means and refiniment either "do their
own work. or actively superintend
the domestic arrangements, taking
pride in this duty, says Robert Web
ster Jones in the Housekeepcr Our
friend was surprised to learn that
'an American woman will spend the
forenoon in cooking, or dusting, or
cleaning. then dress herself like
duchess and sally forth to the meet
ing of n fashionable club where she
is to read a learned paper, like as not,
or else call a carriage and make
round of social calls. And her stand
ing does not seem to be impaired in
the least, by the fact that during
part of the day she has done the work
Of menial, nor has it affected her
own personal attractiveness."
