WOMEN AT WORK

During the war, millions of women
have been at work in voeations into
which they have never before been
calle--in munition factories, chemical
works, metal works, street railways,
and as ambulance drivers, BARRIERS, and
elevator girls. Undoubtedly thousands
of others have longer to serve in this
way, but because of female ailments,
which had fastened upon them, we're
not able to do so. Women in this con-
dition should give Lydia +. Pinkham s

ALKALI MAKES SOAP
BAD FOR WASHING HAIR
X X X x x x X X x x x x x

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkai, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap,
and beats the nest expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounc-
es will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required 1t makes an abund
ance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
sott, fresh looking, bright. fluffy,
wavy and easy to handle Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle of
dust, dirt and dandruff.

been troubling me for about twelve
years. My elbows hurt me so bad
that | coulden't raise my arm as high
as my head and when sat down to
the table l could hardly lift a cup Of
coffee to my mouth, and my arms and
elbows panied me so bad had to
keep them bandaged in all sorts of ap-
phcations to try and get some relief
so | could sleep a little at night. My
legs also gave me lot of trouble and
at times I could hardly get about. they
hurt me so bad. And this wasn't all,
my stomach was all out of order. and
was never able to eat anything and
enjoy it for thinking about the pains
and belching that would bother me for
hours after every meal. l didn't have
any appetite and fell off in weight ter
a dull heavy feeling about me.
This was my condition when save

give up or die, and l guess l would
have still been in this shape if it
hadn't been for friend who told me
about TaAlac and got me to take it.
Well. sir, | hadn't taken but a few
