and Union Labor Meetings-Street
Campaign With Band to BE Begun
Many Enlist at Headquarters.

The "All Ardmore" engineering corps

energy thrown into the movement by

theatergoers Of the plans and purposes
Of organizing the engineering corps. A
committee, with w. w. Lewis as gem
eral chairman, began last night and will
visit and address each one of the labor
unions this week.
But probably the most interesting fea.
ture Of the weeks campaign will be the
street meetings with muslc by the band.
The Rev. Mr.. Golden-Howes is in charge
of this work and is arranging for speak
.ers each night. The meetings will be
held at the corner Of Washington and

announced tomorrow win follow the Sc.
ries of street meetings.
In the meantime recruiting progresses
rapidly at the corps headquarters in

ADVICE FOR WOMEN ONLY


1t has been said by the late DR.. s.
Weir Mitchell, in his book. entitled.
Wear and Tear. or Hints for the
Overworked," that multitudes Of our
young girls are merely pretty to look
at, or not that; that their destiny is
the shawl and the sofa, neuralgia,
weak backs, and the varied forms of
hysteria--that domestic demon which
has produced untold discomfort in many
household, and, am almost ready 10
say, as much unhappiness as the hus-
bands dram"
How is it best to maintain the health
of the young girl just growing into
womanhood, or TO prepare the young
mother for the advent of a new men,
Der in the household? In the first
place, girls as rule do not get enough
fresh air, and should be taught to take
vigorous exercise daily in the outdoor
air. They should take cold shower
or tepid bath every day to keep the
pores Of the skin open, so that their
skin will breathe as well as their lungs.
and sleep well covered up in bed with
the window open, winter and summer.
To build up and invigorate their
womanly organs I know of nothing
better than that old tried remedy made
up of roots which the first Ameri-
cans used years before our race in
habited this country, extracted from
Lady Slipper root. Cohosh and Uni
corn root, Golden Seal and Oregon
Grape root, with glycerine 1t was
first introduced in ready-to.use form
by DR.. Pierce nearly fifty years ago.

quantities every year all over the

ARE PROPRIETARY MEDICINES
FRAUDULENT?

Undoubtedly, there may be some
that are, but on the other hand, there
are many proprietary remedies that
are as standard as any prescrip-
tion that any present day physician
can write, and in thousands Of homes
you will find these old, reliable rene
dies in every day use with satisfactory
results. Such a medicine is Lydia
+. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
which, for nearly 40 years, has been
alleviating the suffering of woman
kind, and overcoming some Of the
most serious ailments Of her sex. If
you are suffering from any of the
ailments Of women, just give this
medicine a trial and prove its worth
for yourself.-AdY.
