Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, made from native roots and
herbs, contains no narcotic or harmful
drugs, and to-day holds the record of
being the most successful remedy for
female ills we know of, and thousands
of voluntary testimonials on file in the
Pinkham laboratory at Lynn, Mass,
seem to prove this fact.
For thirty years it has been the stand
ard remedy for female ills, and has re-
stored the health of thousands of women
who have been troubled with such all
ments as displacements, Inflammation,
liberation, tumors, irregularities, etc.
If you want special advice
write to Lydia L. Pinkham Med
icine CO., (cOnfidential) Lynn,

read and answered by a woman

could do execution while keeping out
of range OF the minor batteries of
the enemy.
Not a naval power is today build
ing a single ship of the mixed-bat-
terry type. That is, every one is
building dreadnoughts exclusively,
with main batteries entirely of the
largest caliber. This means that our
twenty-five battleships Of the pre-
dreadnought era are outclassed ex-
actly as the British cruisers were
outclassed in the disastrous battle
off the South American coast.
Perhaps the lesson will be taken
seriously enough by Congress to in
duce it to make provision for rein
stating this country in the place
which it was formerly proud to oc-
cupy. 1t is peculiarly excuseless to
maintain a huge naval force, at a
vast annual cost, and yet to permit
that force to consist chiefly of ves-
sells so ancient of type as to be mere
traps and betrayals when the test of
battle is presented under strictly
modern conditions.

Washington Conductors Courteous.

To the Editor OF the Mail Bag:
WHY is it that a large number OF
people are always Kicking" about the
conductors and motormen on the WASH
ington car lines? People who ride on
the street cars should not expect Puli-
man accommodations for cents, ana
il those who kick so much would In
yestigate conditions in New York, Phila-
delphia. or any other of our large
cities, thev would find that the Wash
ington car service Is far superior TO
that of the majority of them, especially
in regard to rates, transfers, and cour-
tesv on the part of the employees.
washington conductors are far superior
in this last respect to those In other
cities
In a recent article in these columns.
one writer refers to the conductors as
$50 ~ per day monarchs." 1t seems TO
mo that the author of that phrase is
hardly as courteous as the men whom
he Attacks in such a sarcastic manner.
Surelv. II is no disgrace if man is
EARNING s225 per diem, providing, of
course that his profession is honest.
ond many of the conductors do more
wcrl, for their S225 than hundreds of
Government clerks do for their 81 20
per year.
II these people who are always kick
;nlr about the car service, would either
hir an automobile Or hire taXicab by
the month. the rest of the public. who
orc willing to put up with inconvenieces,
would he greatly relieved at being rid
Of n large number of public nuisances."

A CURE FOR LOCKJAW

One of the most terrible results OF
war is the widespread prevalence of
tetanus, or lockjaw, a form of blood
poisoning resulting from wounds. 1t
is very frequently caused by hurts
that in themselves would be u;lin-
portant, but that bring on the disease
for which till now medical science
has been unable to find a cure, and
the nature of which has been rather
vaguely understood.
Now comes from French sources
the announcement that the army
physicians have apparently found
the cure. 1t was in fact first en-
ployed before the war opened, by a
surgeon in the Ardenne region,
where the disease has long been very
prevalent. 1t consists in injecting
an anti-tetanic serum into the spinal
column and then keeping the patient
lying with the head lower than the
loins. This~treatment, applied to ten
cases in one hospital and fourteen in
another, saved the lives of all but
three. These We're fully developed
cases, which in the past have been
the despair of medical science.

AS A CREDITOR NATION.

An irremovable mountain of debt
we seemed to face abroad only few
weeks ago. A sea Of trouble sur
rounded Us because we could not
wipe out those obligations. A gold
pool of one hundred millions was
OF no avail to solve our problem,
even to diminish our embarrass-
ments; for gold does not flow like
an inexhaustible river, with always
as much more coming from the
fountains as men take from the
stream. Wheat does, and corn, and
all the fruits of the earth, and all
the products that the hand of man
can devise out of the fruits of the
earth.
And so when golden argosies of all
our exports are now sailing in count
less fleets and in endless procession
across the water to the nations at
war and to the nations at peace.
what a trivial thing becomes the
huge debt which only the other day
lowered over US from beyond the
Atlantic!
There were some three hundred
millions, perhaps four hundred mil
lions, possibly half a billion, of
pressing obligations abroad. With a
gold pool or without a gold pool we
could not satisfy them. We could
temporize. We could ease the in
sufferable pressure here or there. We
could hold out hope rather than re-
lief; but we could not clear away the
mass.
But with monthly trade balance
of $60,000,00O IN our favor, soon to
become $1OO,OOo,OOO, $150,OOO,O 900,

DIR. HENRY OANNETT.

The death Of DR.. Henry Gannett
marks the passing of one of Wash
ington's foremost citizens and one
Of the worlds notable scientists.
He was the pioneer among Amer
lean scientific geographers and was
responsible for large part in up
building the Geological Survey to its
present efficiency. The National
Geographic Society, with its. men,
bership of more than a quarter
IF a million, is a monument to his
Gbility as an organizer. He was an
:ndefatigable laborer for the cause
of the science in which he stood so
pre-eminent.
The loss of DR.. Gannett will be
long felt by those whose constant
cndeavor is the improvement of
geographic study in all parts of the
world.
