WHY women
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkharn Medi.
cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask 'tAre
the letters which the Lydia Z. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" "Are they truthful Z"
"Why do women write such letters Z"
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 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
ham S 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.
1t is impossible for any woman who
is well and who NSS>ss ,SsA

IS STATES IN
LIQUOR CASE
Kansas One of Petitioners in
U. s. Supreme Court Test to
Prevent Importation.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Attorneys
general of fifteen states today filed
with the supreme court joint argu-
ment in support of the constitution
atty of the West Virginia liquor law,
prohibiting the receipt and possession
of Intoxicating liquors for personal use
and of the federal Webb-Kenyon
liquor law prohibiting the shipping of
intoxication liquors into states for use
in violation of state laws.
The states represented were Arizona.
Georgia, Idaho. Iowa, Kansas, MisSis-
sippi, North Carolina, North Dakota.
oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia. Washington and
Alabama The decision of the court
in the West Virginia cases is expected
to be the most important adjudication
in the temperance fight in a decade.
1t seems strange at this late date,
the attorneys general state to the
court in their brief, ''to hear a claim
made that the state and national gov
eminent guarantee to a citizen the
right to possess liquor for personal
use and to drink the same in unlimited
quantities. If such had been the case,
it is difficult to see how any sort of
prohibitory law could ever have been
sustained, since all OF them have dis
tinct tendency to reduce or prevent the
use of intoxicating beverages and it is
the purpose of all of them to promote
temperance by the prevention of the
consumption of intoxicants. this pur-
pose has found expressions in ad-
judged cases.
Turn to Webb-Kenyon Law.
IF a citizen of a state has a right
to certain Intoxicating liquors for his
own use in any quantity or in I'M
limited quantities it would seem to fol-
low he should at least have the right
to manufacture such liquor for his
own use from the products of his own
such right
Turning to the Webb Kenyon law,
the attorneys urged that to
accomplish the valid purpose of pro-
hibiting the traffic in liquor it is nee
essary for a state 20 have the right
to control interstate shipment even
for personal result.
This is a step which has a fair re-
lation to the end to be accomplished,
they commended. What is the differ
ence in principle between the denial
OF the right to manufacture and a
denial of the right to import"

IN AGAIN, OUT AGAIN
Ousted Memphis Mayor Takes Oath
of Office, Then Resigns.

Memphis, Feb. 22.-Edward H
Crump, who was ousted as mayor of
Memphis last November. presented
his bonds, was sworn in as mayor for
the term beginning January 1. 1916,
and Immediately rendered his resigna-
tion at a special meeting of the city

ically becoming acting mayor on the
Resignation of Crump.- His assumption
of office gave Memphis its fourth
mayor since the first of the year.
The action of the commission was
taken in accordance with the recent
decision of the state supreme court,
which held that the custer suit filed
by the state against Crump and other
Memphis officials did not affect their
new term of office. to which they
were elected in April, 1915
Crump decided to step down and
out rather than face a new custer
proceeding.

new ARMY BILL
Chairman Hay to Have Draft
Ready Tomorrow.
Senate Committee Also Franz
ing Army Measure.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The armys
part in national defense legislation
began to take definite form in con-
gressional committee today.
With the house military committee
in practical agreement on the outline
of the army bill-with liberalization
of the national guard as a compro-
mise for the continental army plan
unanimously favored-Chairman Hay
is at work completing the rough draft
for detailed consideration by the com
mittee tomorrow. He expects that
the measure will be whipped into
shape for presentation to the house
within two weeks.
Meanwhile the senate military COM
mittee was framing it's measure for a
thorough reorganization of the regular
army with a peace strength of over
100, 900 men. 1t is understood the
house committee will accept the
larger army plan of the senate pro-
vided its scheme for federalizing the
national guard is accepted.
The tentative house bill not only
virtually grants the program mapped
out by former Secretary Garrison but
goes further in providing for reserve
military supplies.

WAVES RED FLAG
War for Existence in Few
Years, Declares Wood.
'ToO Many Bosses Make State
Guards Inefficient"

Chicago, Feb. 22.-Major General
Leonard Wood in an address at the
annua! dinner of the Harvard club last
night predicted that within a few
years the United States will be en-
gagged in a war for existence and de-
picted the nation as a cripple, leaning
on the crutches of the militia, and the
volunteer system. He said the militia
is ineffective and in its present form
would be practically useless for field
service. He spoke encouragingly,
however, of the activities of college
men in acquiring military training.
It's just as good as the administra-
ton has let it be- General Wood said
IN discussing the national guard. THE
ineffciency of the national guard is
not due to its officers and men. 1t is
due to the system under which it is
operated. 1t has too many bosses. If
the ar1.-y had forty-eight bosses as the
national guard has in the forty eight
governments, it would be just as in
efficient as the national guard -
