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 reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for wonan's iii.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the sea. on of the year when
their natural juices md 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 sterilized
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 of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

fishing attest to its virtue.

sRAspMorHER's SERMON.
The supper is DER. the hearth is swept.
And in the wood fires glow
The children cluster to hear a tale
OF that time so long ago,
When grandma's hair was golden brown,
And the warm blood came and went
Der the face that could scarce have been
sweeter then
Than now in its rich content.
The face is wrinkled and csreworn nov.
And the golden hair is gray;
But the light that shope in the young girls
eyes
Never had gone away.
And the needles catch the freight
AS in and out they 60,
with the clicking music that grandma loves.
Shaping the STOCKING toe.
And the waiting children love it. too,
For they know the stockit song
Brings many a tale to grandma's mind
which they shall have e'er long.
b.. it brings no story of oiden time
To grsndma's heart to- night
Only a refrain. quaint and short,
Is sung by the needles bright
"Life is q stocking" grandma says
And yours is Just begun;
Bot am knitting the toe OF mine,
And my work is almost done.
with merry hearts we begin to kuit.
And the rubbing is almos play;
some are ga -colored and some are white.
And some are asben gray.
..But most are made of many hues,
And many a stitch set wrong;
And many 8 row to be sadly ripped
Ere the whole is fair and strong.
"There are long plain spaces, without q
break,
That in life are hard to besr;
And many a weary tear is dropped
RAsdwe fashion the heel with care.

POWER MEASURE
PUSHED IN HOUSE

Chairman Sims, OF the House Inter
state Commerce Committee, served
notice on the House today that he
would object to unanimous consent
for consideration of any other meas
ure or subject until the emergency
power bill was disposed of.
Coal production is involved. ad-
ministratiou leaders said. because fl
is proposed under the bill to greatly
develop the electric power so essen
tial to coal mining by establishing
centrally located power plants in the
coal regions.
Republican opponents of the bill,
while conceding that eventually 1t
will be passed in amended form, re-
gard the measure as giving the Presi-
dent too much latitude in extending
Government control or Government
ownership. They propose to limit
such control or ownership to the
duration of the war and demobiliza-
ton period, and 1t is on this phase
that the fight has centered.

For troops not in the trenches,
one and one-half pounds OF coal
and two pounds of wood per man
per day are allowed in summer
months; In winter the allowance
Is one and one-half pounds OF coal

mer, and three pounds of coke
and one pound OF charcoaJin win

By careful management, this

CANDY RAT|ONS FOR
YANK DOUGHBOYS

Candy hereafter will be part OF the
American soldiers ration abroad.
A new ration system provides that
one-half pound OF chocolates and hard
candles shall be issued every ten days
to every soldier.
No Rum Issued.
The candy issue and a new issue OF
soluble coffee for first line troops,
are Indirectly linked with the liquor
question. Candy generates a very
small amount OF alcohol in the sys-
tenn; coffee gives a stimulation which
allied troops obtain by rum" issues
The Stars and Stripes says an offi-
cial report emphasized the desir-
ability of the candy ration and sup
plying OF soluble coffee. The report
pointed out that in addition to its
alcoholic content. much OF the wine
troops drink is Objectionable be-
cause OF impurities. The soluble
coffee contains q high percentage Of
caffeine and affords an admirable
stimulant for troops In the front
trenches.
More Beans Allowed.
Other changes are being made in
the standard rations. The beans al
lowance is increased to four ounces,
with issuance restricted to four days
in ten. Cheese has been added: milk
has been slightly increased: homeless
beef, bacon. fresh pork. canned or
Vienna sausages and canned or dried
fish can be substituted for the fresh
beef issue to give variety.
