THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the rell-
ability, accuracy. skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season Of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes IN
contact with the medicine is sterllized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination OF
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine,
30 successful in the treatment Oh
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use OF
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which We are continually pup
fishing attest to its virtue.

PLEA FOR CHURCH
TO FORGET CREED
AS HELP TO WAR

New Haven, Conn, Jan. "A new
year appeal to American churches, ir-
respective of denomination, to act con-
certedly in appointing army and navy
chaplains, was issued here today by
representatives of various commun-
ions in the United States and Canada
The signers include clergymen and
laymen of EpiscOpalian, Presbyterian,
Methodist, Lutheran, Baptist and other
faiths, moderators and former moder-
ators of the Congregational council
and representatives of theological
seminaries.
The world crisis confronts the
church with "the possibility of coming
forth from the war either with di-
minished or vaster power" the ap-
peal says, while it points out that "a
divided church cannot stand" The
suggestion is made that coal and cleo
tricity could be conserved if congrega-
lions consented to worship together
this winter
The appeal says that some Of the
ministers at the front and in the hos
pitfalls are forgetting UNCONVENTIONAL
names, while ''at home they are held
apart" 1t continues:
| THE crisis of Christianity requires
the subordination of all things decis-
i've. Without prejudice to existing
personal relations or official facilities,
the whole church is called today to
make one sacrifcial offering of all
things held to be of value in one great
venture of fair for God.
That might be done If, for exam
pie, as war measure, should be put
in cantonments, in regiments and on
battleships, chaplains and ministers,
from whatever church they may come.
commissioned not by their own COM
munion only, but by joint ordination
or conservation sent forth with what
soever authority and grace the whole
church of God may confer, bearing no
mark upon them but the sign of the
cross"

"Sob" Letters TabOOcd.

Many mothers ask what they can
send their boys in military camp.
In reply to such inquiries DIR. James
Naismith, professor Of physical educa-
ton in the University Of Kansas, who
has had 80 years experience with
training college and university boys
and four months on the border as
chaplain of the First Kansas infantry,
and so knows whereof he speaks,
says:
Send him candy and lemons. a
good book, and, if his company has a
talking machine, record Of light mu-
scic or something funny. But don't
send him sob letters or nightgowns.
We can very easily see why sob let
ters are taboo, and suppose night
gowns are useless as he would not
have time to wear them in the
trenches anyway and they would only
clutter things up. Any mother ought
TO, know that what boy needs is
news that makes his heart beat high
and not news that will break it.
Sob letters and nightgowns were
the most worrying and useless thing:
the boys on the border received from
home" said Doctor Naismith. Write
that boy once or twice week. Sent
him the home paper. He may not seen
prompt about writing home, but nevel
forget he has an Unsuitable appetite
for home letters and the home paper
His appetite for sweets, too, is yer.
keen. The army ration, wholesome
and nourishing. hasn't many trim
mings, SO candy always is warml,
welcomed by the boys. Home-mad
fudge or caramel candy, somethin;
that doesn't mash or melt easily
should be sent.
There is no need to send clothin
or medicines. Uncle Sam will loo
out for that. But small musical in
struments are valuable in keeping
camp cheerful. Banjos, bats, glove
and masks Always are welcome. Any
thing that encourages healthful pla
b good to send.
II am very much in earnest when
ask that no sob letters be sent tn
boys. Also if you know some DO
who has no one to write to him or
send him candy, remember him. l sa'
boys who felt it quite a little thu
there was no one to remember then
They're all just big kiddies. you know
and they need appreciation"

awfully. She says he shouldn't go
with me because he is TOO young
Don't you think boy Of that age
ought to be let alone to DO what ne
wants to? We used to go to shows
together and he brought me candy,
but he can't even take me to a show
any more because his father is in
fuenced by his mother and he doesn't
give him one cent to spend. Would
you advise us to go together anyway!

Both of you are too young to go to-
gether. His parents are. right. work

girl and was engaged several times.
but for some reason or other l broke
my engagements. / went with one
boy for about six years. never
thought of marrying him because l
did not love him But when l was %
l began to feel old and l decided it
was the best thing.
My husband loved me and he knew
l did not love him. He was always
kind, but he grew very bitter and sill
ent and did not like to mix with other
people. When my little girl was five
years old he failed in business and
, was very sick. l thought he was
going to die and at that time l dis
covered that l loved him. l have
often told him so since, but he will
not believe me.
My life is very unhappy because my
husband has grown so moody. think
the atmosphere is bad for my little
girl. What would you advise me to do
to prove to my husband that do love
him? -, UNHAPPY WIFE.
| Kind treatment and consideration
will convince him more than words
He will probably not be responsive
at first. but as time goes on l think
he will see that you love him and will
be happier man than he has ever
been.
Do not interfere with his moods
When he wants to be irritable and
morose let him be. Simply do your par,
by making his home comfortable and
considering him in little silent ways
which you know will please him
such as cooking the things he espec-
tally likes and keeping his clothe:
neat and mended.
When he tries to enter into the
spirit Of the home be responsive
laugh at his jokes-he will like it.
