Women Steady Workers

1t used to be said that women
could not be depended upon like
men to work steadily, and, conse-
quently, ought not to expect so
much pay as men employed at sim
liar work.
While it would be foolish for any
young woman to stay at work when
physically unfit, it is believed that
most women now continue at their
work as constantly as men. Any
woman who is unable to do so, should
take Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, the old, reliable medi-
cine for woman, and get the aid she
needs to enable her to keep at work.

NOHOPEFOR A
GERMAN VICTORY
Reichstag Progressive Says
U-Boats Are Not Forcing
a Decision

Amsterdam, Oct. S-George Gothien.
Progressive member of the Reichstag.
is quoted in Berlin dispatch as hav-
ing said at meeting of the Central
Committee of his party that although
the military situation was satisfac-
tory there was no hope of crushing
Germany's enemy on land.
AS for the submarine campaign,
100000 tons of shipping had been
sunk, he asserted, but no disposition
toward peace on the part of England
was discernible. A rationing system
for foodstuffs had not been even in
troduced, and no one was able to say
when the U-boat would make Eng
land more inclined for peace.
America cannot be forced to make
peace" Held Gothien continued. 1--WE
cannot force America to pay a wal
indemnity. There remains only Eng
land. But should we, in order to OBJ
tain an indemnity of 10000, 900, O0C
marks, sacrifice $4,000, 900. 900 marks
and another half million men?"

"Oh Almighty God bless this as
