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

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual locker on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman g 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
70 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 cont uually pub.
fishing attest TO its virtue.

TAKE PRISONERS IN AIRPLANE
British Flyers Round Up Sixty-Five
Huns and Herd Them Into
Camp.

With the British Army in France
Airplanes can be used for capturing
infantry 1t was proved by the Brit
ish in the recent advance.
Flying fairly low, seeking parties
of Germans or war material to bomb,
two officers in one machine were fired
upon from n sunken road. The pilot
dived and the airplane machine quick
ly accounted for four Germans. Very
quickly the Germans hOisted white
flag in token of surrender.
The airmen were In a dilemma, as
there was no British infantry in the
vicinity. They descended to 80 feet,
however. and ordered the Germans out
of the road-65 of them in all. They
obeyed. Then rounding up the party.
the airmen directed them toward the
British lines. They circled over them
with the ever-menacing bombs and
machine guns until they encountered a
party of British, who took the entire
lot to a prisoners cage.

GOOD HIGHWAYS HELP TRADE
Act "a q Spur to Business Besides Civ
ing Pleasure to Motorists-Bene-
fit Everybody.

To some people good roads mean
simply an advantage for the motorist,
a convenience that was created and is
maintained for the motorists benefit,
enabling him to get from place to
place without racking his car to pieces
or experiencing the necessity of being
towed out of hub-deep mud.
Yet there is another side to this SUBJ
ject Of the value Of good roads, writes
L. ]. Ollier in Chicago Tribune. Good
roads mean more than an opportunity
to get out on tours from the health
giving and pleasure standpoints.
Good roads are closely allied with
progress and prosperity. They pro-
mote the more widespread use Of au-
tomobiles, and statistics prove automO-
biles and prosperity always go to-
gether.
1t is fair to say that good roads ben
eft everybody: the city jewellers, those
who live in towns, and those. who live
on farms. OF course, the fast-growing
use of motorcars-the fact that auto
mobiles are now considered practical
ly necessity for everybody-has been
the biggest single influence in awak-
ening this country to the fact that
money expended in good roads extern
sions and improvements is money well
spent.
We can all remember how only a
few years ago city people paid little
attention to good roads, and how farm
ers were even opposed to the expendl-
ture of funds for the betterment of
highways. That, of course, was before
automobiles came into such wide
spread usage. in the days when motor
cars were considered an extravaganza
and were owned only by the rich.
Good roads and the automobile have
taken people out into the country.
They have banished forever the isola-
ton of farm life. They have increased
health and prolonged life. They have
enabled people to dig in and put better

ALL WILL GET JOBS

struct private homes alone will re-
quire the work of 100000 men for 20
years.
Prof. Van den Ven Of Louvain, now
in the United States, says the war
losses Of Belgium total approximately
$4,000.OO0,O00. Before the drive more
than $4,000 buildings had been de-
stroyed. Practically all the important
factories have been robbed of their
machinery, and, In many cases, not
only the walls RACED but the very foun
datlons destroyed.
The machinery was shipped to Ger
many. Towns and villages have been
wrecked. Farms have been robbed Of
all live stock. Miles of interurban
railroads have been torn up and
shipped to Germany.
The problem Is first to keep alive
the population released by Germany /;
second, to reconstruct the Industrial
machine SO the people can make a
living.
England also will want food, manu-
featured goods, raw material and ma
chinery In great quantities. So Will
Italy and the Scandinavian countries.
George e. Roberts of the National
City bank maintains that the United
States will pass out of the war period
with more wealth than she possessed
before the conflict began. There has
been much scientific development OF
industry. and agriculture has been
stimulated as never before.
There is no obstacle, he thinks,
to continuance of business activity
except the difficulty of readjusting
business to peace basis. This obsta'
Gle Is great but surmountable.

til the day after the town had been
practically surrounded that the last
enemy resistance was crushed there.
After penetrating well beyond Mont

trolls of twos and threes began to

handing. the plain in all directions.
Those patrols which entered from the
north, from behind, worked their way
through the ruins of shell-shattered
houses right up to the front of the
town, where they sniped the German
machine gunners In the backs, as they
were firing on American patrols adj
vancing from Cuisy. Prisoners were
taken from the deep dugouts 80 and
60 feet below the ruined town two
days after the Americans had estab-
lished themselves In the town.

Paris.-Vast quantities OF food
products must come to France this
winter. All eyes are on America.
Abnormal drought last summer seri-
ously injured the French harvest. A

American Doughboys Faced
Three Fortified Defense
Systems.
NOTHING COULD STOP THEM
Interesting Description Of One of the
Last Big Fights in Which
Pershing's Troops Were
Engaged.

With the First American Army
Three fortified defensive systems
guarded the German positions be-
tween the Argonne and the Meuse
when the Americans burst through
them.
The advanced line, the enemy's old
line, called the Hagen stelung; his
intermediate line ran a klometer or
two behind 1t, according to the config-
uration of the terrain, hills, streams
and woods, and was called the Volker
stellung. Behind that ran his main
reserve line Of defense, the Kremhilde
stellung. a continuation of the Brun-
hide stellung, which runs through
Champagne.
AT their first bound the attacking
waves of dcughboys swept over the
hrst two fortified zones with their
barbed-wire entanglements cut to
pieces by the preliminary lombard
ment, and in several points they pen
etrated the Kremhilde stellung, which
pivoted in the Aire-Meuse sector on
Montfaucon.
The threehour artillery preparation
between 2 80 and 3 80 o'clock in the
morning had driven the enemy to his
deepest dugouts and the advanced as
sault troops were in the trenches
throwing gas bombs and grenades
down the stairways into the under
ground bombproof shelters before the
Boches could get upstairs.
Reducing Strongholds.
Between the three different lines of
intrenched positions the Boches had
installed series of strong points, ma
chine gun nests. sometimes emplaced
In concrete and steel pillboxes, or else
merely set in strong, natural, COM
handing positions.
The advanced waves of storming
troops going forward in open order,
worked their way between the strong
points, often by worming along for con-
siderable distances on their stomachs,
or by crawling ON hands and knees
through woods or along ravines. Ar
irving In the rear of these positions
they established contact with one an
other and proceeded forward. leaving

efforts into their work as result Of
the relaxation and broadening-out ex-
periences of the weekend trip into the
country.
The prospect of being able to buy
an automobile and receive the benefits
of good roads has spurred the ambi-
ton and quickened the imagination Of
the man who walks or uses street cars.
He wants to be independent.
He wants to get away from the linn
tied vision that Of necessity must be
his just as long as he is bound to a
life of pounding pavements and cling
ing to street-car straps. He works
harder and achieves more, with the
prospect of spinning over good roads
in his own automobile. For travel
ing only around town he may feel that
he cannot afford an automobile; that
he cannot get his moneys worth.
There is where good roads come in,
enabling just such a man to get out
into the country and broaden out.
Good roads have been a stimulator
of business. BY means Of good roads
an outlet to the congestion of cities
has been afforded. New towns have
sprung up.

snipers to work their way back In the
rear of the strong points and pick OF
the Boche machine gunners In many
cases.
1t was the job of the succeeding
waves of assault, with their light ma
chine guns and their little trench NOR
tars mounted on light. twO-wheeled
carts hauled by man power to reduce
these strong points with or without the
aid of artillery, tanks, or airplanes.
The most advanced waves were en-
tirely safe from the machine gun pO-
Boches usually could not work their
guns toward their own rear, the en-
placement having been organized with
view TO firing ahead or on the TANKS
only. Furthermore, If the Germans
fired toward the rear, they would re-
veal their presence to the succeeding
attacking waves which would put
them out of action before they could
swing around again.
Why Casualties Are Light.
1t is because the attacking waves
went forward deployed In extended
formation and behind curtain of fire
of bursting shells, creeping barrage,
that casualties among attacking
troops were so much lighter than any
one unfamiliar with these tactics
might imagine.
