EMPEROR OPENS DU@A

PETROGRAD. Feb. 22.-The pres ence of Emperor Nicholas at the op eping of the Duma today was hailed by press and public as one of the most important events n the political history Of Russia. It was pointed out that the presence of the Emperor emphasized in 3 most striking manner the disposi- tioh of the Rovernnient and people to lay aside internal politics and devote all energies to a concerted effort to bring the war to @ successful issue. It wac referred 10 by prominent members of the Duma as the beginning of a new era"
 T. was the first time the Russian Elm peror ever visited the legislative body or in formal way had recognized it as one of the parts of the government. The Emperor's presence was taken as a token of new union. toward which the Liberal progressive elements of the Duma had been striving and il is thought will relieve the tension that has existed since the adjournment of the House. The Premier said: Rus sia's better future is coming and noth- ing can disturb our faith in that. A rev page Of Russian history is being opened" He spoke of the necessity Of reforms to meet new economic con ditions and said that the food problem and question of freeing the country of German influence ought to command special attention.

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

Women who are well often ask ''Are the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. are continually publishing, genuine?" Are 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 dives, once burdened with pain and suffering.
 It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis placements, inflammation, ulceration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues.
 It is impossible for any woman who is well and who &SSSS>A has never suffered SlH/ E<1SS\SlP to realize how these (W H1 SSs:SA\M poor, suffering wo- ! { B. eN \p men feel when re- YS ~ Sy
