President Wilson has been giving
the country pretty fair illustration OF
the operation that is known as sit
ting tight,p relative to the submarine
question. He has steadfastly refused
to recede from the position that all the
rights cr American citizens every
where must be respected even though
telllgerents in the European war may
find It to their advantage to disregard
such rights. unquestionably the
furore in congress during the past few
days has added immensely to his diff
ficulties in getting the great issue
that is at stake settled satisfactorily
and peacefully. II serves notice on
the German foreign office that there Is
division of opinion among the men in
charge of affairs in this country and
the inevitable effect is to hamper the

Women who are we'll often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" care they truthful?
"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 n without the
full and written consent Of the woman
who wrote it. ,,~ss,
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.
It has relieved women from some Of

placements, Inflammation, liberation,
Irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
