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 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 SUBJ
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
SO 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
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to Its virtue.

UP TO AMERICA TO WIN WAR
Collapse of Russia Places the Burden
of Eliminating the Hun on Shout
ders of the Yanks.

Daily it grows more certain that the
world war is to be fought till one side
or the other is PROSTATE. The war
would have been over months ago if
Russia had not collapsed; but with
treason in the ears cabinet and lun-
acy and stupidity pervading the Rus
STA proletariat, that mighty empire OF
the north became an inert and imp0-
tent mass at the mercy of Germany.
And as for Russia, her fate will be
determined by the world congress that
will write the peace when the war is
over. 1t will be about the mightieSt
job human statecraft ever undertook
and an impossible job unless Germany
or the entente is then as helpless as
Russia is now.
With the western front reinforced
by the millions of veterans Germany
had i'll Russia, the German people have
become as confident of victory as they
were when the first gun was fired. At
this moment Germany. rulers and peo-
pie alike, feel assured as to the out
come. There is a determination to
annex all of Belgium, all of France
now held by the German armies and
all of, the possessions of Belgium and
France in Africa Discussion is now
going on in the German press as to
the amount of the money indemnity
the enemy shall pay. Already Russia
is carved by the German sword. And
If Germany shall succeed in her pres
ent intentions she will be as complete
mistress of the world as it now Is
known as the Rome of julius Caesar
was mistress of the world as it was
known on the eve of the Christian era.

the night at cards with the Spanish Of

In the days that followed many SINH

home life grew more unhappy his dissi-

bled heavily; he brought his friends to

His wife, however, found opportuni-
ties enough to weary and exasperate
him with reproaches regarding the

Prefer Musical Education.

Music, more than the other arts, is
thing apart, and the instructive
knowledge of it, discovered sometimes
in even the youngest children where a
rich musical experience is offered, is
past all computation by the educa-
tional mind. The jealous tutorial mind
which presumes to teach music to the
young without allowing and insuring
them rich experience of music, and
to delay by the penurious educational
method, however well meaning, tho
child's or youths contact with musical
life, is las little thrifty as one who
would dam up the springs of river to
construct a meager drain pipe.-Ex-

In the midst of their agitation they
heard some one weeping; there came a

next instant Evangelina flung herself
into the room.
She fell upon her knees before them.
