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 SUD-
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 sterlllzed
and as a final preeaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles: :.
It 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 puo-
fishing attest to its virtue.

1t would require a long story to
tell it all In expressions Of kind
ness it would be seven years of plen-
teousness with scarcely day omit

is that beautiful new house the New

Evidently the congregations served

Gus house would not be supplied, and
so took matters into their own hands.
On May 2Sth we were notified that
some young ladies would call on US

How Love Came to Two Persons.

There is a fire story in the Ameri-
can Magazine in which this passage
occurs:
That night after dinner they walk
ed in the moonlight down the trail
leading to the city and watched the
mysterious blue-gray mists rise in
softly curling banks to the mountains s
top. as though in search Of a COM
Portable resting place for the night
The air was fragrant with the odor of
spruce and pine, and the only sound
besides their own voices was the call
Of a night bird to his mate, or an oc-
casional burst of laughter from the
group on the hotel veranda.
They talked of entirely impersonal
things in choked, throaty voices, she
reyeling in the emotion that swayed
them. he rebelling against it. Fol-
lowing a turn in the trail. they came
suddenly out upon a little plateau
drenched in moonlight, from which
they could look down upon the twink
ling lights OF the city. The scent Of
miles OF orange blossoms fioated up
to them and she turned and looked up
at him, the moonlight falling full
upon her white face with its great
dark eyes and tremulous sweet mouth.
In an instant his arms were about her,
lips had met his, and the prosaic
world Of yesterday had. become the
giorified world of today, tomorrow
and Of all days to come"

Symptom OF Cerebro-
Spinal Meningitis

Discussing cases of cerebro-spinal
fever among the British troops in
France. the Lancet says: only one
sign has been OF real help to US in
Observation-Disclosures OF the neck. In
testing for this sign it has been found
OF little use to raise the mans head
with the hand or ask him to bend his
head forward when lying on the back
A man who is feverish and feeling i'll
will often not make the effort 1t has
been found more reliable to put him
on his side or to sit him up and then
make him attempt to put his chin on
his chest. If in this position the neck
can be fully fleXed without didiculty
or pain we have thought we could
exclude cerebro-spinal meningitis for
all practical purposes. The test is
almost as quick and as easy as look
ing at a tongue. and IL it were, made
a routine practice in every case of
headache of unknown origin We be-
lieve there would be less delay in the
diagnosis of many cases"

'WACKS' SLURS
ARE REFUTED
AFTER INQUIRY
Women's Army Auxiliary
Attacked in England
and INDICATED.

London.-England's famous "w. A.
A. C.'s," members Of the women's
Army Auxiliary Corps. commonly
and affectionasely known as "Wacks,"
have emerged victorious from series
of attacks which, to say the least
were unchivalrous.
1t was said that the women and
girls who Joined the organization did
so not because of the opportunity for
war work it presented, but because
1t enabled them to indulge to the
limit the feminine capacity for ador-
ing the soldier boys.
Clergyman Accused.
Among other accusers was the Rev.
Richard Henry Quick, who told a
meeting of young women on moral
ity:
"a soldier who is with 1000 sta
toned in Yorkshire told me that
their lines are opposite those OF the
women's Auxiliary Army Corps. and
he confesses that the type Of life
between the two lines is appalling"
Mr.. Quick has been prosecuted for
spreading. false reports and fined forty
pounds.
Another triumph for the W. A. A.
C.'s came in the finding of the COM
mission of inquiry which was sent
to France to investigate tho matter.
1t reported:
Not only do we feel that the cur
rent stories about the misbehavior
OF the W. A. A. C. in France are
slanderous and untrue. but that the
nation is being well and faithfully
served by the organization.
The tale OF the number OF w. A.
A. C. women returned to England be-
cuse OF misconduct of the gravest
character are fantastic. The number
OF undesirable women who have found
their way into the corps has been
very small. With some exceptions
the conduct of the w. A. A. C. in
France has been upright and self-re-
spective.
Sex Honor Upheld.
I'VE feel that the large majority
OF the girls who have come forward
in an hour of crisis to share the work
of the men in the field have upheld
the honor of their sex and of their
country in a spirit which should win
for them the gratitude OF the nation.
THE nation has as much right to
be proud of its women in the auxil-
iary force as OF its men,"

that going on around here today, do
you?
These boys realize that 1t is up
to them to demonstrate that an
American can be as good a soldier.

er or . Frenchman. and the Lord
knows both of them are wonders.

Early in the afternoon a German
balloon took a position not far be-
hind the German lines, and when
French airplanes went up to pune
ture 1t a thrilling air battle en-
sued.
The balloon came down quickly
to escape being destroyed. but the
machine gun potting of the oppos-
ing airplanes could be heard long
after rapidly drifting clouds had
hidden them from view.
Warns Of snIper.
All afternoon French trucks and
wagons kept coming back from the
front lines. moving French supplies
and equipment, preparatory for the
entrance OF the Americans.
At one time, an ambulance stop
ped in the village and. French

ten packages were showed Mt him.

By C. c. Lyon.

With the American Army in France.
MAY 30.-A fine-featured, delicate
looking lad of hardly IS was lean
ing wearily against the front of a
building in a little French village.
, waiting. along with the rest of his
battalion, for the word to advance
into the first line American trenches.
The village was just three miles
behind the lines, and all day the
roads leading to it from the south
American soldiers, American supply
trains, American machine guns and
American motors.
The troops for one particular part
of the line were to assemble in the
village and then so to their trench
positions under cover of darkness.
This 1S-year-old boy. leaning against
the building, attracted my atten-
ton, because he looked so much out
of place. He lacked that hardy.
characteristic of his fellow soldiers.
Just Out of Bed.
Boy" 1 said to him. you don't
look very well. WHAT'S the mat
ter with you-sick or scared?"
He pulled himself together in an
instant. looked me squarely in the
eye and replied:
NO, I'm not scared. But I Just
got out of the hospital four days
ago. and I haven't got my strength
back yet. When we were up in the
trenches the first time for train
ing one of those Boches put a bullet

now?" 1 pursued. ''Why didn't you
stay in the hospital until you were
fully recovered?''
And miss all this? Why, this Is
the greatest honor that can come to
soldier-to be in the first regiment
to be sent into the line. General Per-
shing must have thought we wer9 the
best he had. or he wouldn't have
picked us, would he?
I lied to 'em at the hospital. 1 told
EN- i was ready for duty again, and
they let me out. Say, this will be
something for me to talk about the
rest of my life if come through all
right"
This boy. better than any Of scores
of others with whom 1 talked that
day, expressed the spirit of the Amer
ican troops as they waited for the
word actually to go into battleI
He got out of sick bed and shouI-
dered his gun. because he felt his
commander-in-chief had honored MIN
by sending him in first and he didn't
want to Miss the chance,

BAKER SHOWS
OPTIMISM TO
SERVICE CLUB
Gives Several Hundred Off
GERS Message Of Su-
preme Confidence.

Confidence was the keynote of
Secretary Bakers remarks to the
United Service Club of America.
when he addressed last night sew
eral hundred commissioned officers
belonging to the club.
Between the lines of what he said
the officers could read words that
spelled victory for American arms,
and his manner throughout was
stamped with optimism.
Pays Tribute to Marines.
The Secretary paid a high tribute
to the marines for what they had
done. Then he turned his attention
to the achievements of the navy.
and II also got lots of praise.
Secretary Baker was not playing
any favorities. however. and when
he reached the army in his diagno-
sis Of conditions existing on the
battlefront, it was then he made a
Garrison finish" in what he had to
say about his beloved soldier boys.
1T makes little difference" he de-
clared, whether you officers grad
uated from West Point, or whether
you sprang from the National Guard
OF your respectiv@ states. or whe7ner
you OTlSlndIeu ITOu ClNDldu hlO u
become commissioned officers
During this war we are the army
OF the United States. The British do
not know any difference. The French
do not know any difference, and neith-
er should We.
in this great single-minded enter
prise where We have one ending, we
want 1t known that We are the army
of the United States. Things that are
being done over there are not visible
to you on this side, and the ques-
tions We have to consider are how
1t is going to end: what will happen
IL we win the war. and what might
happen IL We do not win it."
Praises French Herolsm.
Then the Secretary turned to the
heroIsm displayed by the French peo-
pie in the present struggle-the sacri-
fees they had made without a muir
muir. He depicted men and women
too old to take any active part in
the great conflict who have gone forth
to lend whatever effort they could in
the cause of democracy.
Secretary Baker spoke slowly end
with deliberate effect, as though in
spired by the idea of letting his re-
marks soak in on the assembled
officers.
