WOMEN
Everywhere
Praise Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound as the
Greatest Remedy for
Woman's Ills.

New Haven, Conn" For two years
l suffered with female weakness,
pains in my back and painful periods,
and was so weak and tired that was
not able to do my work. A friend told
me to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and it gave me great relief.
My pains left me and am now able to
do my work and feel fine. You can pub
fish my testimonial and if your Vegetable
Compound does others as much good as
it has me will be very much pleased. !"
Mrs. CHARLES e. MORGAN, 81 Sea
Street, New Haven, Conn.
The reason Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound is so successful is
because it contains the curative,
strengthening properties of good old
fashioned roots and herbs, which act
directly on the female organism.
There are women everywhere who
long for children in their homes yet are
denied this happiness on account of
some functional disorder which in most
cases would readily yield to Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Such women should not give up hope
until they have given this wonderful
medicine trial, and for special advice
write Lydia +. Pinkham Medicine Co.,
Lynn, Mass. The result of 40 years
J experience is at your service.

THOUGHTS FOR THE FOURTH

Washington, July 1.-The Republi
can Publicity Association, through its
President, Hon. Jonathan oBurne, Jr.,
today gave out the following state
ment from it's Washington Headquar-
ters:
Declaration of Independence-'We
bold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, that
they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights, that
among these are life, Liberty, and the
Pusuit of Happiness. That to secure
these rights governments are insti-
tuted among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned, that whenever any form of gov
ernment becomes destructive of these
ends it is the right of the people to
alter or abolish it.
GAS free and independent states
they have full power to levy war, con-
clude peace, contract alliances, es-
tablish commerce, and to do all 9TH
er acts and things which independent
states may of right do
Under the league of nations our
liberty, proclaimed in the Declare
ton, is forever surrendered to coun-
ell of roeign states, from which We
can withdraw only upon two years
notice, and even then only II the coun-
Gil unanimously decides that we have
fulfilled all of our league obligations.
That unanimity of opinion probably
could never be obtained, and the Unit
ed States would be subjected to per-
petual foreign control.

TWO JUSTICES AVOID.
"LUCILE" LITIGATION
Controversy BetWeen Modistes
Goes to q Third Court.

Two justices OF the Supreme Court de-
clined yesterday to mix up In a contro-
versy between two fashionable modistes
over the right to use distinctive name
to identify their establishments. Lady
Duff Gordon, head of the company
known as Lucille, Ltd. seeks to restrain
Lucille Kearney, milliner OF Z West
Fifty-sixth street, from using the "Lu-
ellie" part of her name in such n manner
that patrons likely would be deceived.
Justice Wagner. sitting in Part l.. Spe-
cial Term. declined to hear the proceed
ings, stating that he was acquainted
with persons interested in the case. He
referred 1t to Justice Erlanger, who like
wise pleaded to be excused for the same
reason and passed the case along to Jus
tice McAvoy. The latter as yet has not
signified his intentions.
The assertion Is made by Lucille, Ltd,
of SO West Fffty-seventh street. that the
other establishment displays the name
Lucille" in large letters and "Kearney'
in very small type. The allegation is
made also that the stationery of the
Kearney firm is made up in a very pal
pable imitation of that of the Lady Dun
Gordon concern. The defence is that the
manner in which Lucille is spelt by
rho Kearney firm, a newcomer in the
business, is sufficiently distinct from that
of Lady Dun Gordon's house to prevent
confusion on the part OF the purchasing
public.
