The MAKING Of
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
sHow Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
IL Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit 70 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 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.
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
30 successful in the treatment OF
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use OF

Ii seemed incredible that he should
go like that. Surely he would come
back at noon or at dinner time. She
had always felt that under his gentle

heart she had never believed him so

concerned.
She waited YEARLY, stirring with

CRADLE SONGS ARE ANCIENT
Words often Seem Meaningless Jum-
BILE; Melody Always Within Com
pass of Home Voices.

Almost all popular cradle songs are
very old, some of them so old that,
were they not familiar, they might be
considered the verieSt curiosites OF
literature. Through all the changes
of language they have held their own
upon the lips and in the hearts of the
people. From mouth to mouth they
have come down through the years
with an irresistible swing of rhythm
and patter and jingle of words till
they seem to have been rather a nat
ural growth than human invention.
In all the melodies, observes a wri-
ter, there Is certain likeness OF
rhythm with a national / might say, a
temperamental difference of movement
and meter from the slow assured
major of the Germans to the wild plain
tive minor of the Scotch, characterized
by the short accented notes or the
weirdness of the hungarian with it's
sudden changes.
That these old songs should have
embodied and retained the character
istics of the people among whom they
originated gives them an Importance
which their crude words and the ele-
mentary character of their melodies
scarcely seem to warrant. The words
often seem a mere meaningless jun
BILE, the melody is always within the
easy compass Of home voices. No
doubt both express, In some supernally
wise way, the one unalterable senti-
ment of maternal love.

She recapitulated II all. Through

and for most of her pleasures he had

Air Raid Liahts.

During their recent raids on Paris
German aviatOrs were greatly discon-
certed by rockets which the French
sent up and which discharged, before
dropping, parachutes with brightly
burning fuses. These parachutes
dropped slowly and their fuses cast
brilliant glare on the hostile airplanes,
making them good target for the
antiaircraft guns.

Bill Wagstaff was not prone to jump
at rash conclusions. If he objected to
certain manipulations of the Free Gold
Mining company, his objection was
likely to be based on substantial
grounds. At any rate, she hoped moth
ing disagreeable would come of 1t.
So she put the whole matter out OF
her mind. She dressed, and went
intellectually about her own affairs.
Dinner time was drawing close when
she returned home. She sat down by
window that overlooked the street
to watch for Bill. Six passed. The
half-hour chime struck on the mantel
clock. Hazel grew impatient, petu-
liant, aggrieved. Dinner would be
served In twenty minutes. Still there
was no sign of him. And for lack of
other occupation she went into the hall
and got the evening paper, which the
carrier had just delivered.
A startling headline on the front
page stiffened her to scandallzed atten-
ton. Straight across the tops of two
columns 1t ran, a facetious caption:

town streets is proving one Of the
most perplexing problems that
the city council has faced in
months.
When the new parking ordi-
nance came before the council
Wednesday a half dozen Taco
mans, including drayage men,
teamsters, business men, and
owners of pleasure cars, arose to
speak on the question, and each
had a different idea.
The questions of permitting
cars to park only 20 minutes on
downtown streets is a stickler
that none of the interested per-
sons could agree on.
1t was finally decided to lay the
ordinance over for another week.
Transfer men declared that
traffic conditions were becoming
so serious that they frequently
could not make deliveries in the
downtown district, because there
was no room to place a truck near
the curb.
