WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask care
the letters which the Lydia Z. Pinkham
Medicine CO. are continually publishing,
genuine2" Are they truthful 3"
" Why do women write such letters? "
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never knowingly, have we published
An untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of thu woman
who wrote it
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
ham Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation, liberation,
Irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.

Food Value Of Nuts.

Nuts have high protein content and
high fat content as well and should
take the place OF meat In meal
Almonds are so rich In protein and
fats that a pound Of shelled almonds
Is equivalent In food value to about
three pounds Of steak. At usual price
a good grade Of almonds Is more eco
nomical than the ordinary cuts OF meat
Chestnuts are a staple food I'm parts
Of Italy and have delicious flavor In
soups. stufiings and sauces. Our own
native chestnuts, boiled or served
whole or roasted. make an excellent
simple desert.
Hickory nuts. English walnuts, pecan
nuts and filberts are not only palatable
In mullins, cake and yeast bread. but
add TO the food value In rational
way. Peanuts are rich In oil and pro
tein. They are nearly equal 70 almonds
In food value and are even more eco
nomicaL Peanuts are too concentrated
a food for eating between meals or TO
be taken after a meal already sum
cient. but they may take the place OF
meat In the meal, and peanut butter
may be used ON bread and sand witches
without butter. They. too. may be
used with cake and cookies. Chopped
nuts may be served with dessert

and appliqued In place.
Some of the pieces were cut to form
star shaped flowers with bright centers
Of embroidery silk. Others were shap-
ed like leaves, and the few pieces Of
leather (suede) used had scalloped
edges like a flower, with the edge
worked in blanket stitch and fastened
in the center to the satin. The silks,
velvets and leather were all colors, but
the stitching around the edges was en-

WOMAN HAD TRUE CHARITY
Refusal to Judge Others HarshIy
Proves Possession of the Highest
Christian Character.

There died a short time ago a wom-
an who never occupied, or aspired to
occupy, a conspicuous position in the
world but who was beloved by all who
knew her. The secret of her charm
lay in her charity-nOt the charity Of
almsgiving, although she was always
Openhanded to those in need-but the
broader charity that consists in leni-
ency toward the frailties of others.
When gossip, even gossip not unduly
harsh, aSsailed man or woman she In
variably met it with the one response:
well, now, maybe if you knew all
about the case you'd find the poor man
Tor woman) wasn't so much 20 blame
after all"
What an insight into a Christian
character that remark conveys And
what lesson In Christian charity It
teaches. 1t is the Ten Commandments
in a single sentence. Philosopher or
theologian never uttered a more beau
tiful thought for mankind to ponder
over. Epigram maker never directed
more perfect shaft.
What a different world 1t would be
If everyone judged the worlds people
that way.-Youngstown Telegram.
