the other sex,
The coquette who is born to rule by
virtue of charm fascination and beauty
is an irresistible person. The coquette
who is made by artifice whose attrac-

are artificial is nuisance, and she

The fascinating women who have

called cOquettes for want of a better

up their title for supremacy with other
attributes besides a pretty face and a
charming manner.
The women who were famous in the
eighteenth century for their wit and

their brocaded froclls and panniers

Isn't short, smooth road better than
a roundabout, rocky one?
Isn't that the road you would take by
preference
Well, the shorter, easier, smoother road
in washing clothes is the Fels-Naptha way
No rocks in your path; no boiling, hot
fires, steaming suds, or hard rubbing
Fels-Naptha banishes the diSagreeable
part of washing, takes out the backache,
cuts the time to half, and makes the clothes
cleaner and whittier than it is possible by
the old-fashioned way.
Follow the simple directions on the

Dear Miss Fairfax:

six months, and have been going
out with him quite frequently. and
each time we go out he wishes to
kiss me good might, and | don't ap-
prove of it. He tells me he is not
like other fellows and will not force
me to. as he thinks too much OF
me. He also says he would rather
not be alone with me if | won't let
him kiss me, as the temptation is
too great. 3.
If ne loves you to that ungovernable
degree. doesn't he love you enough to
ask you to be his wife?
If you were engaged, and had every
assurance that he IS not here today

WOMAN'S MOST
SUCCESSFUL
MEDICINE
Known All Over The World
known Only For The
Good 1t Has Done.

We know of no other medicine which
has been so successful in relieving the
suffering of women, or received so many
genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In nearly every community you will
find women who have been restored to
health by this famous medicine. Almost
every woman you meet knows of the
great good it has been doing among
suffering women for the past 30 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health, in which many openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
many of whom state that it has saved
them from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is made from roots and herbs,
and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why it is so successful is
because it contains ingredients which act
directly upon the female organism, re-
storing it to healthy and normal activity.

ALL SOUTHERN STATES
ARE AT THIS CONGRESS

-
BALTIMORE, Feb. 20.-DelegateS
from sixteen southern states met here
today to consider problems relating to
agricultural development and immigra-
ton for the south.
Delegates are here from Alabama,
Arkansas. Florida, Georgia, Kentucky
Louisiana. Maryland, Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, North Carolina, Oklah cma, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia
and West Virginia.
More than fifty railroads and steam
ship companies sent representatives, in
some cases the presidents of the lines
acting in person.
When S. Davies Warfield, of this city,
called the meeting to order, he faced the
largest and most representative commit
tee ever organized to consider the agri-
cultural and iudusVial development of
the south.
MIR. warfield referred of the vast area.
of unimproved land in the south and
declared that everyone concerned in
southern property values has a definite
interest in the promotion of this work.
which he maintained, could not be done
without large expenditures OF money.
Liberal treatment is necessary not only
on the part of the railroads but by the
state governments.
Mr. Warfield was of the belief that
desirable foreign immigrants could be
obtained by system, which would reach
into the homes of the agricultural classes
especially in northern Europe, embracing
English, Scottish, Irish and German peo-
pie

RAILROADS INDICTED
FOR GIVING REBATES
Four Vanderbilt Lines West of
Buffalo Are Involved in
Charge
tRx Associated prsss.l


CHICAGO, Feb. aJ.-Four indictments
for alleged rebating were returned to-
day by the federal grand jury, the de-
PENDANTS being three railroad companies,
two theatrical concerns and four indi-
viduals. Excessive payments for "adver-
tising," in return for the purchase of
railroad tickets is declared to be the
medium by which the alleged rebating
was accomplished.
Discovery of the supposed rebate sys-
TEN was made by the division of inquiry
of the Interstate commerce commits
sion.
The Vanderbilt lines operating west of
Buffalo and east of the Mississippi river,
the Columbia Theatrical Amusement
company and the Empire Circuit com
pany (burlesque organizations) are in
volved in the charges. Conferences be-
tween representatives of the Vanderbilt
lines and the amusement companies, II
is alleged. resulted in an agreement
whereby Rudolph Hynicka, of the Co
lumbia company, and James E. Fennesy,
of the Empire circus, were to receive
in rebates Is per cent Of the lawful rail-
road fares paid by their various compa-
MES.
The method of rebating, 1t is said,
was pitched on payment to Hynicka and
Fennessy~of money for advertising in a
medium published in several middle
western cities. Advertisements of the
railroads, IL is said. were inserted by
Hynicka, at space rates, these being
nominally low, then the roads paid Hy-
nicka at a rate equal to the amount
of rebate due him.
The amounts said to have been paid
both men in the last two years are
large. as the Columbia aid the Empire
circuit shows number abo,-. so, with 80
persons each. They move from city to
city each week.
