Mobile Youth Trails Man Who Imper-
 sOnated Officer.
 Mobile, June 29-(Special) )-Track- ing his assailant over the streets of Mobile for hours with the persistency and the skill of veteran sleuth, Gus Roth, a small boy of Mobile. caused the capture of Willie Kelley. a white man. and charges of robbery will probably be preferred against him.
 Roth and another small boy were walking near the oyster docks yester- day morning, when they were ap- preached by Kelley and an alleged com federate and informed that they were special deputy sheriffs and that the small boys were under arrest Tor vagrancy.
 The pseudo officers then gave the youngsters as careful a search as the most adept policeman could have done and having relieved them of few valuablss departed.
 Lietle Gus Roth had it in his mind that in all probability the men were anything but preservers of the peace. He immediately telephoned to Deputy Charles Cherry and Deputy Brannon was hurried to the wharf. When the deputy arrived the two police imper- senators and young Roth had dtsap- peared. Roth not taking any chances had followed the men.
 Late yesterday afternoon on Con gress Street. he again spotted Kelley and again telephoned. This time the deputy arrived in time and Kelley was inearceratsd on a charge of imper- souating an officer. This will prob ably be changed to the more serious offense.

THE COME AND SEE SIGN

This sign is permanently attached to the front of the main building of the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company, Lynn, Mass.
 What Does This Sign Mean

 It means that a permanent invita- tion is extended to anyone to come and verify any and all statements made in the advertisements of Lydia k. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 Is it purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs - with out drugs?
 Come and See.
 Do the women of America continu- ally use as much of it as we are told ! Come and See.
 Was there ever such a person as Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick woman are asked to write? Come and See.
 Is the vast private correspondence with sick women conducted by women only, and are the letters kept strictly confidential?
 Come and See.
 Have they really got letters from over one million, one hundred thousand women correspondents2 Come and See.
 Have they proof that Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured thousands of these women? Come and See.
 This advertisement is only for doubters. The great army of women who know from their own personal experience that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for female ills will still go on using and being ben efited by it; but the poor doubting, suffering woman must, for her own sake, be taught confidence, ,forshe also might just as well regain her health.
