WOMEN BACKING THE SOLDIERS

When the history of the war has
been written, the work done by wo-
men at home will impress itself upon
his nation as few even now realize.
Literally, millions of women left
their homes and took up far activ-
lies into which women had never be-
fore been called, and many more at
home devoted long hours at work in
knitting and preparing surgical dress
ings for the boys lover there" Some
may have worked at the expense of
health and are now suffering with
headache, dragging-down pains Or
some arrangement. 1t should be re-
membered that Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for more than
forty years has been restoring such
women to health and strength, and
is now recognized as a standard rem
edy.
