MORE Merry THAN THE MALE
Writer in Toledo Blade Comes Boldly
Forward With a Tribute to the
Fair Sex.

Tell d man that tight belts cause
appendicitis and he loosens his belt
at once, remarks the Toledo Blade.
Warn him that stiff hats make the hair
fall out and he carries his hat In his
hand until he a find a soft n to
put on. This is n of the striking
differences between men and women.
You cannot scare a woman with any
such threat. 1t must be centuries since
women were told that stays would be
everlasting ruin to them. But is there
any decrease In the use Of these ar
ticles? None that is indicated by the
windows of the dry goods stores.
Tight skirts were bound to shorten
their steps permanently. V-necks
would invite ills with the most terrify-
ing names. Fur collars would weak

germs. But what did the women think
Of these cautionings? About as much
as you would think Of the hum
ming of a gnat. They wore the
tight skirts until they were blessed
we'll ready to abandon them. They
barred their necks to the wlntry breezes
as If there were no such thing. You
may be sure that the fur collars will
not come off until they become unfash-
ionable. You may be equally sure
that women will be callous to the adj
vice of the Cleveland doctor now urg-

cause they make bow legs.

nervy than the male.

STICKS TO JOB
Falls Heir to $4,000 Estate in
Austria, But Continues
to Work.
HAS HOST OF FRIENDS
Surprised at Number Of People Who
Now Call Him by Name-ccuId \
Be Happy Only as a
Waiter.

New York.-The story that Caesar
knew the names of all his legionaries
has been taken with some reserve. But
the number he would have had to carry
in his head is small compared to that
of the persons who have demonstrated
the ability since last Wednesday to call
Sam Peristein by name. Sam is head
waiter at a restaurant, in West Forty
first street, but he was such before last
Wednesday. In fact, he had been all
that for some years.
Sam admits that quite some per-
sons had known and called him Dy
his first name before Wednesday. He
supposed, however, that his surname
was as dark a secret as a 100-to-1 shot
in the sixth race. But since Wednes-
day he has found that more persons
a rattle off his full name than ever
before saluted him by any name in his
life. He has discovered also that
many more persons are solicitous
about his health and his family and
his unborn future than ever before
seemed to care a fig whether he had
steak and potatoes or coffee and dough
nuts.
New Lap in His Life.
In short, last Wednesday, really
marked the beginning of a new lap in
SANS life. In fact, there Is some
thing of a coincidence about it. Fol
on Wednesday Sam learned he had
fallen heir to a $4,000 estate in Aus
tria. incidentally, many of the per
sons who suddenly have discovered
that his name is a glib and delicate
morsel to roll around their tongues
have con6ded to him as many differen,
ways to double and treble his legacy

Mystery In Unclaimed Novel.

An unclaimed" novel is the latest
mystery of the London literary world.
Some time ago an anonymous manu-
script was left with a prominent pub
fishing concern, which decided, in due
course, to publish the same. Upon
inquiry 1t was discovered that the
author had not troubled to leave either
name or address when he handed In
his MS. Now all sorts of romantic
conjectures have been made in con-
nectlon with Anonymous" Identity
and ultimate fate-without, naturally,
hurting the books chances when 1t ap-
pears shortly.

the truth Of what caused my mar

can hold out no hope for either OF us.

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkhan Medi-
cine Co.

Women who ore web Often nsk "Ars
the letters which the Lydia z. Pinkham
Medicine Co. r continually publishing,
renuine?" "Are they TRUTHFUL"
"why do women write such lettersf"
In answe 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 the 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
hams 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.
