Instead Of lying In bed grumbling at
the length Of the lonely days and pain

herself to be caJoled into rising and
reclining on a couch. which was then
wheeled Into the adjoining room by

her condition. Every afternoon Lady
Prue held quite a little levee-at which
the sickness Of the old countess up

the gaiety below. Day by day these
cheerful sounds grew more and more
e~xasperating to Lady Drumloch, whose
passion for scandal was only whetted
by the comments OF the two girls, and

BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Hilltop. Kan.-"About two years ago
4 began to notice a breaking out on my
leg. At first it was very small but
soon it began to spread until 1t formed
large blotches. The itching was ter
rible and almost constant. Many
nights l could not sleep at all. After
scratching it to relieve the itching it
would burn SO d%readfully that I
thought I could not stand it. For near
ly q year l tried all kinds of salves
and ointment. but found no relief.
Some salves seemed to make 1t worse
until there we're ugly sores. which
would break open and run.
"One day I saw an advertisement Of
Cuticura Remedies. l got a sample Of
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment and began by washing the sores
with the Cuticura Soap, then applying
the Cut:cura Ointment twice a day.
l noticed a change and got more Cuti.

weeks l al cured. 1t has healed SO
nicely that no scar remains" (Signed)

Inc "cnange OF LIE " Is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in q de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread Of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, va11-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs Of women's system at
this trying period of her life. Il
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

FUND FOR

Chairman Mocombs Wants
Campaign Money Raised by
Popular Subscription.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Norman E.
Mack, former chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, who was
among those at headquarters here be-
fore going to Sea Grit today, believes
the party campaign has been ad-
vanced with surprising rapidity.
II am strongly in favor of raising
money by popular subscriptions" he
said. IT want to let everyone help,
but do not favor a rich man giving
s1O0, 900, for example. That Is wrong.
But the rich men can well afford to
give as high as $1,000. We don't want
the poor man doing all the work and
giving all the money"
Chairman Mccombs announced that
he was planning to start. a popular
Democratic campaign fund, and that
the leaders throughout the country
would be urged to start movements
for the collection of dollar subscrip-
tons to the fund.
ut requires money to meet the
legitimate expenses of such a cam
paign," he said. This Is the peoples
contest. They. have already indicated
a willingness to finance their own
fight. There is no better or more de-
sirable way to raise campaign funds
than with popular subscriptions from
the rank and file"

MISS SEARS LAUGHS AT
REPORT OF ENGAGEMENT

BEVERLY FARMS. Mass. Aug. 7.
"A laugh was the only reply Miss
Eleanora Sears made to a query as
to her reported engagement to Har-
old s. Vanderbilt. who is a guest at
the Sears's summer place at Beverly
Farms.
Miss Sears is just back from a trip
to Newport, where she and Mr.. Van
derbilt were SO much in company
that the story of their engagement
was revived. She returned by motor
with Mr.. Vanderbilt and drove his
biggest touring a from Newport to
Beverly.
Newport is Arm in its belief that
the two are engaged and North Shore
circles are more than half convinced
that such a relationship exists.
