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

Women who are well 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 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.

A SNIPER Is A HERO
 OF BRITISH TROOPERS

LONDON, April 20. = Like the man who plays an important posi- tion or a football team, the sniper is the hero of the British army, says report from Northern France. Many snipers have strange looking guns, full of hicks. Every nick a human life.
 . To be called a successful sniper is a real distinction in the British ranks. When a battalion leaves the trenches for few days of billet life, the snipers are given the most comfortable quarters, their com rades eheerfully conceding them all the little comforts not enjoyed by the ordinary soldier.
 During trench life the sniper is closer to death at any moment than an yother soldier It is his duty to crawl to soaae sheltered spot and wait his chance. He may watch a certain section of the enemy trench for days without firing shot. But when he fires, according to the new tradition of snipers, he is supposed to get his man. If he has reason to believe that his bullet went true he cuts a nick in his gun stock and crawls back to his trench to be congratulated.

THE GERMAN SIDE OF THE WAR

The pictures comprising the six reels of sensational War films, ap- bearing at the Grand theatre Sun day, Monday and Tuesday nights. depicting the German side of the war are indicative of the activities of MT. Edwin F. Wiegle, Chicago Tribune's staff photographer, on his second trip into the European war zones.
 Shortly after Europe burst into flames, figuratively speaking,a MT. Weigle went to Belgium from where he brought back enough material, in the way of motion pictures, to give to this half of the world vivid idea of what actually was going on across the water. Weigle's Belgian war pictures caused wide comment.
 These new Tribune pictures, how ever, are even more vivid than those which MT. Weigle obtained in Bel gium. For on this second expedi- tion the photographer knew what conditions were and went fully equip ped. In his kit was a specially made war camera, the lens of which was constructed so as to bring events from a distance apparently to the foreground. Experts who have view ed these photographs declare them to be the most authentic and real war films ever taken. They actually bring the war activities of the vast Teuton armies right before your eyes.
