LETTERS TO TIE EDITOR
if Not May Rose Festival Why Not
 One in June?

MT Editor: In The Bulletin of April 26 your editorial on Portland, Oregon, ''The City of Roses," was read with interest and I wish it might spur "The Rose of. New England" to efforts which might make it more worthy of it's name.
 To be sure we have not the climate of Portland, which is said to permit rose bloom every month in the year. But that should not be a deterrent, for our rose gardens might be enlarged and be more in evidence during several months each year.
 Thanks to Dame Fashion we have this year quite cheerful showing of April ToSeSi
 In Portland last August our sight seeing automobile-having taken us through many street where rose bloom was a delight to the eye, rose hedges lining the curbstone in front of many a home, gardens and terraces still full of rich color, though we were told it was nothing, that We should have been there in May-drew up to the curb, our conductor stepped to- wards a lady, who stood cutting roses at the top of some terraces, and we heard her ask How many ladies in your party?"
 Presently he returned and present. ed each lady Gas yet the privileged sex!) with large half-open rose.
 
 lady, and whether such treatment of tourists were her habit?
 q make three trips a day now, g he replied, land on the first she fa- vors my party-the ladies'" (Poor men! For there were some in the car. Is a better day about to dawn for them?)
 Before Christmas sent a word of greeting to the Rose Lady" A fort night later received a box of lovely pink and white rosebuds-lovely in color, although in their. transit over the continent in January, each one carefully wrapped, they had been slightly frosted. So they did not open though they held together and slowly dried up-keeping in color.
 Cannot some emulation, or at least a mild ambition, be aroused in "the Rose of New England" ?" If not mill lion roses for May festival might not a half or quarter million be pro- duced in the month Of June
 Some of our leading merchants show a readiness to help the cause by i'm porting roses and placing them on the market at a price which should not be prohibitive. Doubtless they would enlarge their orders to keep pace with any growing demand. M B. RUDD.

WHY WOMEN
 WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. PinkhaEn Medi-
 cine Go.

Women who are we'll often ask 'tAre the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Go. 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 B. Pink ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia B. 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 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

This Is Net Result of Ger man Infantry Attack Launched After Heavy Bombardment of French Positions
[RepubIican A. P. Leased Wire]

Repulse at the hands of the French again has been the net result of a German infantry attack launched after heavy bombardment against French positions at Le Mort Homme, northwest of Verdun. The Germans. who attacked in serried masses, were driven eastward. toward the Bois Des CorbeauX. where the French guns in flcted heavy casualties on them.
 The attack at Le Mort Homme con- stituted the only infantry naneuver along tte entire French front, but from Belgium to the Vosges artillery on both sides has been active at num- erous points. Around Douaumont and the village of VauX the big guns are operating with redoubled violence, while southward in the Woevre the artillery duels in the Mouse hills con- tinue.
 In tEe Arsonne forest the French guns still are shelling the German positions northwest of the road from Varenneo and German batteries near Mont Eaucon.
