It's extraordinary accomplishments, ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expectations

attending eczema is stopped with the
first application, giving proof of its
curative properties at the ver-- outset.
In less serious skin affections, such
as pimples, rash, herpes, p;ackheads,
acne. BARRIERS itch, etc, results show
after an overnight application, only a
small quantity being required to effect
a cure. Those who use poslam for
these minor skin troubles can now

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia e.

see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters In which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and

Red Roben Here in
Vaudeville
BY Len Edgren

Again we are honored with a visit
from "Lanky Bob" This time he
comes not to fight, but to entertain us
with refined vaudeville.
Last night Fitzsimmons hoped off
the boat, shook his fists at deckhands
and rushed for the st. Francis bus.
Fight! Fight again, well I guess
yes, There's still good scrap in the
old man and I want a chance at any
Of 'em. I've been thinking of going
over to gay Paree. They want me
to fight Willie Lewis or some OF those
guys. Heasy for me. well 1 should say
soi
You remember the night I fought
Johnson down in Phillie? I 'ad a bad
arm that night. you know. Now look
at me. I can lick a whole regiment
of those fighters now"
And the old fellows eyes snapped
with their old glitter. He really looks
good and should a fight be arranged
for him in Paris he will be in better
condition than he was the last time
he fought.

then we'll go and ave some shrimps.
You wouldn't believe 1t, but I couldn't
sleep last night on the train--I was
thipking of California shrimps."
l took chance. felt of his arm and
then we made for a grill. But the
walter brought those big Baltimore
shrimps which taste like handful of
sawdust. In the mix up following the
stupid waters mistake I started on
my way. From the street / saw
freckled arms flying in all directions.
But no; Fitz wasn't fighting, he
was only practicing the French Ian
guage on a German waiter.
