why women
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi.
cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask care
the letters which the Lydia +. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" Are they truthful I"
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 IN without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote 1t.
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.
1t is impossible for any woman who
is well and who N<S@@

FACTS ABOUT YOUR HAIR

There are about IT'S, 900 hairs in your
head
Each one is an independent oil plant
and like any other plant must have con,
slant care.
If neglected, it gets sick and dies.
Dandruf is the greatest enemy of the
hair.
1t seals up the hair-cells, smothers out
the roots and causes the hair to fall.
The head should be kept free from
dandruff.
The hair-cells should be kept open
and healthy.
Not by washing with toilet soaps nor
alkah shampoos that will attack the
natural oil of the hair and destroy the
fatty roots.
An oil shampoo with no free alkali
should be used.
EVERY WEEK ANTI-SEPT1C OIL
SHAMPOO contains no free alkaG.
1t opens the hair-cells, leaves the
scalp soft, anti-septic and free from
iandruff. It is the only shampoo con-
tanning mineral oil which is a real benefit
10 the hair plant.
It's rich creamy lather thoroughly
cleanses the hair and leaves it soft, lus-
trous and healthy.
To insure a vigorous, healthy scalp,
men and children should have sham
poo every week, women every other
week.

MOLINE MOTHERS

Plans for a Clean Up Campaign Will
Be Made by Women of East End
at Meeting Tomorrow.

Mothers of the east end of Moline
will hold meeting at PAS tomorrow

matters of Importance. They will
have to do mostly with sanitation and
that kindred topic, general cleaning
up While typhoid fever has created
more or less alarm all over the city,
diphtheria also in the east end. The
mothers in that part of the city are
keenly alive therefore to the necessity
of a general cleaning up of all prem
ises, and they are hoping 10 awaken
everybody up to the same feel
ing.
There are a great many lIts in the
east end of Moline that are Unim-
proved. They are owred by city yeo-
pie who seldom or never see them or
by out-of-town peo7 e. These lots
have been sadly neglected. sCrle OF
them for years, ultii they are now in
unsanitary condition y little later
a new crop of weeds will make their
condition still worse, affording breed
ing places for a new generation of
mosquitoes and other insect pests.
1t has been suggested that if the city
cannot find way of compelling prop
erty owners to clean up their vacant
lots, it would be worth while to send
a delegation to Springfield at the next
session of the legislature to get law
| through that would enable cities to do
necessary cleaning up on such lots
and to charge the expense up the same
as that for paving or other improve
ments. 1t is said many other cities
would help to put through such law
and it would be more worth while than
many laws that have been successfully
railroaded through the legislature.

This Is misleading from tue fact
