Woman's Use.

A visit 70 the laboratory where this
successful remedy IL made impresses
ever the casual looker-on with the roli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making Of Eds great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds Of various herbs
are used annually and all have TO bO
gathered at the season Of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub

these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes IN
contact with the medicine IL sterilized
and as a final precsution IN cleanliness
the medicine Is pasteurized and sealed
IN sterile bottles.
Il is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used IN it's preparation
which has made this famous medicine

UNITED STATES AND SCIENCE
Activities Of Entire World centered
on This Country and Interest
Expected to Continue.

Every few people realize that the

that they will doubtless continue to
do so If material means be given to
keep up the work" said Father Charles
B. MOulinier, regent of the Marquette
university school of medicine, in a re-
cent interview in the Marquette Trib-
une.
South America, for instance, is now
looking to us for scientific leadership.
China and Japan are ono more turn
Ing to us. Great attention is being
paid to medicine in South America,
Buenos Aires alone having a medical
school with 5000 students.
"The Wlstar institute Of anatomy, in
Philadelphia, is one Of the most de-
cisive factors in turning the attention
of the scientific world to the United
States. This institute has an endOw-
ment which makes 1t possible to give
large service to mankind. Just now 1t
is printing copious translated extracts
from the medical journals published
and sending them TO China and Japan.
Duplicates of the journals are also
sent to South America.
"a great deal of research work is
being done by this school in the direc-
ton of discovering dyes. Certain
chemical dyes, formerly produced only
by Gruebler of Germany, are required
in technical work, Wistar is now pro-
Gucing dyes the equal of Gruebler's.
at may be interesting to know that
much of this research work has been
done by a young Philadelphia who
delved into chemistry for his own
pleasure and experimental in his pri-
vate laboratory. Wistar hearing OF
some remarkable discoveries made by
him Immediately called him to the in
stitute, placing its facilities at his dis

URGES FEDERAL PROBE
OF Y. M. C. AS WORK
Soldier Paper at Meade De-
mands Investigation as Act
Of Justice
Camp Meade, Nd, Dec. 27.

An appeal for a Federal Investigation
OF the work OF the Y. M. C. A. in France
is made by W. Howard Haynes In an edI-
toriaI in the Christmas issue Of Trench
and Camp, issued here today This is a
soldier paper published in all the camps
under the auspices OF the National War
Work Council of the "Y." Mr.. Haynes.
Is the Camp Meade editor. The "Y" has
come in for some mighty severe criti-
cism from the wounded soldiers and
casuals returning TO this cantonment
from abroad to be mustered out OF the
service.
The lads charge many things. Ex-
orbitant prices is the principal offense
laid at the door OF this great welfare
organization. however. And. too. tho
boys are somewhat perturbed over the
fact that they could not even get tobacco
or cigarettes unless they had money from
the cauteens operated by the 'Y."
The editorial by Mr.. Haynes was
prompted by an interview with Harry
p. Moorehead, a "Y" secretary who just
returned from abroad. Mr., Moorehead
did not deny that there were many mis-
understandings concerning prices charged
in the canteens over there. but he de-
Tended the "Y" and suggested an inves-
tlgation by the military authorities.

RECLUSE'S REQUEST

Woman Says She Could Use

Certainly the money would mean

months ago, not leaving me whole lot
of money, and ! have FIVE children to

It whole lot more than Mayor Smith
does, and I think that the right thing
for the Mayor to do is to turn the money
over to the rightful heirs.
"I am convinced that my brother
never left Mayor Smith the money. I
don't believe he ever made such a will"
This assertion was made this after
noon by Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor, 5336

Mennerwirtsch, in reference to the $4,000
ing to be Mennerwirtsch's last will.

and 1t is entirely possible that they also

The legacy purports to have been left
the Mayor in letter bearing Menner-
wirtsch's signature, supposed to have
been written the day before he died.

his lawyers have filed petition asking
for the letters of administration of the
pauper's estate in behalf of his Honor.
Mrs. Mary Schleicher, SIS Wood
street, at whose house Mennerwlrtsch
roomed, also cannot believe that the will
is valid. She says the Mayor Is the last
person whom she would have believed
Mennerwirtsch to have so remembered.
She had heard him discuss Mayor Smith
dozens OF times with his closest friend,
Henry Ullman, who died in the Roose-
welt Hospital seven weeks ago, and
knows that Mennerwirtsch did not like
the Mayor. He spoke OF him as a Eight
weight" and as one incapable of giving
Philadelphia a good administration.
Mrs. Schleicher, who 10 eighty-one
years old, and a widow whose only child
died some years ago, often befriended
Mennerwirtsch, believing him penniless.
Many a plate of soup and cup of coffee
she added to the piece Of pie or rolls
with which he would come home, telling
her that was all he could afford for his
supper.
She was with the policeman when ne
counted out $575 in cash and books
showing more than $500 on deposit in
saving funds, which he had found in
the supposed paupers closet in his room
after he died in the Philadelphia Hos
pital.

touch his heart. Mennerwlrtsch would
sometimes say, You are not doing this

PLANNING new STATE GUARD
Expansion of Militia and More
Armories to Be Considered

Harrisburg. Dec. 27.---(By A. .P)-
Legislation relative to the expansion of
the Pennsylvania reserve militia, which
Is to be the basis of the new National
Guard OF Pennsylvania, will be dis
cussed here next month when members
of the State Armory Board, officers of
the militia and legislators are here.
The State Armory Board is to hold
session Inauguration week when the
plans for new armories in Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Tyrone, and Reading will
be acted upon and bids probably au-
thorized, as well as an appropriation list
for the next two years agreed upon.
The original plan was to expand the
militia until every town where the State
owned or loaned an armory had unit,
but owing to the close of the war and
the desire for an adequate force to be
known eventually as the National Guard
Of Pennsylvania, II Is possible that two
more regiments Of infantry will be au..
thorized and possibly a squadron of
cavalry to a regiment Machine gun
units, sanitary detachments and other
auxiliary troops will also be increased
.Adjutant General Frank d. Beary is
planning to have the men in charge Of
militia units interest returning soldiers

RED CROSS GIVES AID
TO DISABLED SOLDIERS
Home Service Section Pointing
Out Governments Offers Of
Industrial Opportunities

The home service section of the Amer
lean Red Cross, through the churches
and the civic hour in the public schools,
Is making known the opportunities the
Government offers to the disabled SOL
dier. At the same time hero worship
and demoralizing entertainment are be-
ing discouraged.
Our boys should be given the splen-
did welcome that is their DUE" explained
Mrs. Henry C., Boyer, chairman of the
home service section of the Southeastern
Pennsylvania Chapter of the Red Cross,
but the aftermath Of the welcome must
not be pauperizatlon. We want to stress
the Importance Of the soldiers availing
himself OF Governmental training which
VIII mean a return to normal living con-
dltions. A great deal OF emphasis Is laid
on the training Of men who have lost
arms or legs, but It is equally necessary
that the soldier discharged because of
tuberculosis or some heart or rheumatic
condition should be connected up with a
job suitable to his physical disability.
THE disabled man will be fitted
through mechanical contrivances, to
work on a standardized machine Thus,
though physically handicapped. he will
not have to have special machine ad-
justed to his needs"
Those who, during the last week, ad-
ded their names to the Red Cross roll.
may know that a part of the support they
have given will go toward the futher-
ance of the after care Of wounded men.
In correlating its home service section
with the Federal Board of Vocational
Training, the Red Cross emphasizes its
conviction that the leadership of the
Government in the treatment, training
and placement of the disabled soldier
must be everywhere supreme.
AS a recognized auxiliary of the Gov
ernment, the Home Service Section will
work for the formation of a sound pub
lie opinion. 1t will demand a square deal
for the disabled soldier but will erpect
from him every reasonable effort to in
sure his self support. Through the Red
Cross visitors contact with the soldiers
family the home servIe will aim TO re-
store the family's confidence in the SOL
dier's earning capacity While being
trained at a trade school or apprenticed
at shop, the soldier will receive pay
from the Government and his depend
ents will be given an allowance.
Any soldier wishing to be put in touch
with the Government agency for training
should apply at the district office of the
Federal Board for Vocational Educa-
tion, Room 1000. 1416 South Penn
Square, or the home service section Of
