THREE GENERATIONS or WOMEN

The young women of this genera
ton, their mothers and grandmothers
have proven from the actual exper-
ience that Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vege-'
table Compound overcomes the suffer-
ing caused by female ills and restores
them TO healthy condition. This
famous medicine contains no narcot-
les or habit-forming drugs-but Is
made from medicinal roots and herbs
natures remedy for disease. If you
are suffering from any of female ills,
It will pay you to give it trial.

WARMING AGAINST BUYING
SOLDIER UNIFORMS

Warning has again been issued by
the military and other authorities Of
the United States government against
the purchase by civilians of the traf-
ticking in, of government property.
The word is sent broad cast with the
idea of giving the people along the
border final opportunity to dispose
of that property which they may have
and to forbear from securing any
more Of it. n
Provost marshals in the various
towns and cities along the Mexican
border are very active in their cam
paign to arrest civilians who are in
possession of goods belonging to the
government. They have made many
arrests, though in the majority Of
cases, have merely confiscated the
goods and allowed the people caught
with them to go unmolested.
According to the new laws it is
penal offense to be caught wearing
any part OF the uniform, unless the
person is soldier or can prove that
he has the proper right to do so.
Thousands of dollars worth Of gov
eminent property, soldiers hats, guns,
shoes, shirts and everything else that
might be sold, have come into the
hands of civilians. They are liable to
prosecution for having them in their
possession.
Commanding officers Of the military
are not anxious to prosecute but are
determined to break up the practice.
It has cost the government enormous
sums Of money, besides the fact that
it depletes the accoutrement Of the
soldiers and of the regiment.

II Not Its So, IL So Its Not

The newly elected mayor of small
town was fond of show, and so he did
his best to be indicted into office in
weather favorable to gay professions.
At his suggestion this notice was put
into the local papers three days before
his installation: "On the occasion Of
the installation Of the new mayor the
fire brigade will be reviewed in the
afternoon, if it rains in the morning
and in the morning if it rains in the
afternoon"

WATcHMAKERS,
ATTENTION!

WA SFlWhNEhOg - EN lOGNs
DO you want to be reminded once
more that right here in the city of
Chicago where you toll and strain
your eyes to exhaustion there is
Watchmakers' Brotherhood union,
local 1922, affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation of labor, the
strongest labor body in the world?
No doubt you have heard of us be-
fore and of the good work we have
done for our members.
Friend, let US have a few minutes
about our own affairs. Surely we, as
free men, living in the land of the
brave and the free, have a right to
talk about our own business. Now,
brother, is it not true that it took
you number of years to become a
skilled mechanic? 1t surely did and
you became a matchmaker, thinking
that 1t was the best paid trade on the
market. But it did not take you very
long to find out your mistake.
Simply compare your trade to 9TH
er trades where less skill is required,
and you find they are working short
er hours and getting higher wages
and more humane treatment, and
you wonder why. Here is the rea-
son:
Those workers who do not wear
high, clean collars at work have
enough sense to be organized. They
know that their masters are organ
lied and they have found out that it
pays to be organized.
It is the best investment a wage
worker can make to join the union
of his craft. But we watchmakers,
who handle the most complicated
machinery on earth, have not brains
enough to grasp the meaning of or.
ganization, and that is why we are
the most Underpaid creatures" in
the mechanical world. Now, brother,
get the word organization into your
head. A great number Of Chicago

LET US FIGHT

LET US FlGHT.-Let us fight for
the principal - civilization. But let
us fight like civilized people, not to
slaughter and kill, only by argument
and propaganda to do away with the
reasons that cause the poisoning of
our mind, the so-called patriotism,
prejudice against race, nationality
and religion.
We are all subjects of the same
universe whether or not we belong
to this race, nation, religion or an
other. Therefore let US fight for the
cause of internationalism; then no
white people will object to having a
colored doctor cure them; courts will
not object to a cOlOred woman adopt
ing a white child; no Jews will be
massacred in. Russia; no Christians
will be slaughtered in Turkey; and
no more horrible wars would be exer-
cised, etc.
All those who want to learn a les
son of patriotism, let them look at
our president, Wilson.
He is the real patriot; he exerts
himself and does not encourage the
people to war, to shed their blood
and be DESTROYED. We wants to build

The average prostitute is a hard
egg, made so by contact with men at
their worst, and when she is locked
up like a thief can you expect other
wise? A violator of the law yes, but
by what right can man pass any law
that denies a woman the right to sell
herself? When some 18-year-old
girl marries some old crab with
dough they call it love, whereas it's
the same lust on his part and prosti-
tuition on hers, for does she not mar
ry him for the things he can buy her,
and, judging by right and wrong,
which is the basis of all law, who is
the worst, she or the honest prosti-
tute?
G. V. Wells may be one of the few
who has not violated his moral law,
but let him try to find ten others, and
if he does will show him greater sin
than mine. l do not curse him and
his kind. I only seek to enlighten
them.-One of Them.

BONE DRY LAW !" WASHING
 IS ASKED FOR
Gov. Lister in Address al Inauguration Is Strong in Demand
 for Prohibition.

OLYMPIA, Jan. II. - Gov. Ern- est Lister urged that the Legislature pass 2 non-partisan election law and Q "bonc-dry" prohibition law in the mcssa~e he delivered to the joint session of the Senate and House yes .crGay when he was inauguratcd for ,nc second time. He urged that the election law should provide for a personal primary, similar to that in force in municipalities, where all candidates for tue various State and County omccs shall have their names placed on the ticket, and the two candidates for each office having the highest number of votes, pro- yided none have received a clear majority, shall be the candidates for support at the general election. Such a law would mean that only United States Senators, Representa- lives in Congress and Presidential electors would be involved in parti- san contests.
 Gov. Lister contended that cX- perience has shown that the pres cnt anti-saloOn law in force in Washington is not satisfactory as absolute prohibition, and urges that the Legislature exclude liquor from the State completely.
 Gov. Lister is the sCecond man to be twice inaugurated Governor of Washington. He and the late Gov. John R. Rogers are the only Gov ernors of the State ever to be re- elected.

 "The mob has made the threat that it will lynch two certain off ciaIs here" announced the Gov ernor.
 You can tell the moo that the Governor of the State is here now and they can have the opportunity of Iynching him first, if they can"
 Gov. Stanley immediately took charge of the situation and his firm attitude and fighting ability appar- ently is quelling the riOtOus nature of the mob and the leaders.
 The situation grew out of the threats made late yesterday after noon by a mob against the lives of Circuit Judge Charles Bush and Commonwealth Prosecutor Arthur Smith. The anger of the mob was aroused against the two officials when they allowed a continuance in the case of Rube Martin, colored man. charged with killing Guthrie Buiguid, a white man.
