REMARKABLE PERSONALITY OF HART

Snowy-haired, deep-chested, power
full, keen-eyed, Keir Hardie, leader OF
millions of British working men, has
just finished his third visit to Amer
lea. The chairman of the Labor party
in the house of commons is strik-
ing personality picturesque and I'M
forgettable. He came to attend the
wedding of his son, who is in business
in Brooklyn
At the age Of seven Keir Hardie
was set to work in mine. His father
had been a miner before him, his
mother working woman. In the
mines he stayed for seventeen years.
Today, fifty-six years old, he is the
leading figure in Parliament in the
fight for improving the condition Of
working people.
The muscular hand grasp with
which he welcomes his caller is a re-
minder of the days when he used to
swing pick. There is warmth in it

istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system Is in 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, bacMches, dread Of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
I In the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
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. Pinkhanl's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs Of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

REAL TRUTH ABOUT SIDE WHISPERS

The truth about whiskers is out.
Turn the spotlight on Chauncey
Depew.
Returning to his own, his native
land, after his annual wandering on
foreign strands, Americas ex-cham-
pion after-dinner statesman stood on
the deck of an Atlantic steamer the
other day and admitted that he was
the modern father of all hirsute facial
adornment.
Mr.. Depew was much incensed by
the report that an invasion of Eng
lish whiskers threatens the United
States. He fingered his own flowing
white ones caressingly as he made
the following points:
That he began to raise this same
crop fifty years ago
That forty-nine years and nine
months ago they were just as they
are now, barring whiteness OF color
that is natural at seventy-nine.
That he made many annual trips
to England, taking the whiskers with
