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 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 aud tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
thesnedicine is pasteurized and sealed
IN sterile bottles.
1t 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 pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

My most embarrassing moment was

viii upon majority.
Russia today, with its blood and
terror, is a painful object lesson of the
power of miriorities. It makes little
difference, what minority It is; wheth-
or capital or labor, or any other class;
no sort of privilege will ever be per-
mitted to dominate this country. We
are a partnership or nothing that is
worth while We are democracy,
where the majority are the masters,
or all the hopes and purposes of the
men who founded this government
have been defeated and forgotten.
In America there is but one way
by which great reforms can be ac-
complished and the relief sought by
classes obtained, and that is through
the orderly processes of representative
government. Those who would pro-
pose any other methed of reform are
enemies of the country. America will
not be daunted by threats nor lose her
4composure or calmness in these dis
Pressing times. We can afford in the
midst of this day Of passion and unrest
to be self-contained and sure The in
strument of all reform In America is
the ballot The road to economic and
social reform in America is the
straight road of Justice to all classes
and conditions of men.
Men have had to follow this read to
realize the full fruition of their objects
and purposes. Let those beware who
would take the shorter road Of dis
order and revolution. The right road
is the road of justice and orderly

Campers Chiggers May
Attack Farm Chickens

Chiggers, harvest mites, or "red
bugs" which so frequently annoy
campers by the intense itching they
produce, may also attack fowls.
Young chickens having a free range,
especially if it includes low-lying
land, are the most liable to suffer
from these parasites. The mites pen
citrate the skin, causing an intense
itching, and assesses may be found
where clusters of mites are feed
ing. These assesses are sometimes
a third of an inch in diameter, sur
rounded by an area Of Inflammation.
The birds become droopy, refuse to
eat, and may die from hunger and
exhaustion.
If an abscess has not yet formed
the infamed area may be treated
with sulphur ointment, Peruvian bal
sam, or a mixture of 1 part of ker
osene oil with parts of lard. If
suppuration has occurred the scab
should be removed and the area
washed with per cent carbolic-
acid solution. Frequent light dust
ing with flowers of sulphur will keep
the chickens from becoming infest-
ed. In the southern and central
states, where harvest mites are
most numerous, it is often neceS-
sary to keep young chickens off the
range in summer. In these sections
it is a good plan to hatch the chick
ems early in the spring, so that when
warm weather comes, in which the

Hash Can Be Made
Entirely of Vegetables

! Hash may be made with one or
many cooked vegetables used alone
or combined with meat or fish. Po-
tato is the most useful vegetable for
a hash, as it combines we'll with meat
or with other vegetables.
It is essential for good hash that
the vegetables be cut fairly fine, but
not so fine that the pieces will lose
their shape or stick together-that
is, the particles should drop apart
readily when shaken on a fork. Each
vegetable must be cut up separate,
then all be mixed. The vegetables,
or vegetable, and meat or fish must
be we'll seasoned with salt and pep
per, and if liked there may be added
q little minced onion, chives, parsley,
chervil, or green pepper finely mine
ed. The hash must be moistened a
little with meat broth, milk, or water
not more than a half cup for
quart of hash.
When the hash is mixed, seasoned.
and moistened. put tablespoonful
of butter or savory drippings, in a
frying pan. When this is melted put
in the hash, and spread evenly and
lightly in the pan. Over this put lit
tie dots of butter or savory drip
pings, using about one tablespoonful
in all. Cover the pan and place
where the hash will not burn, but
where the heat is fairly good, and
cook half an hour, then fold and
turn on a hot platter. A rich brown
crust will have formed on the bot
tom of the hash if the heat was suf-
fcient. Serve it hot, and on heated
mates

Commander Read, of NC-4, Says the Duigble
Is the Air Hope Of the Future Commercially

Pin your faith in the future to the
dirigible balloon-not the airplane.
Lieutenant Commander A. c. Read,
who piloted the NC-4 across the At
lantic, says the balloon is better.
Though it was an airplane in which
he and his crew of United States
naval men made the first transat
lantic flight in history, Read told
me in an interview in Paris, where
he came after the great reception ac
corded the NC-4 crew in England,
that much time would elapse before
the airplane could be properly devel-
oped for world commercial uses.
Back to balloon flying for me-"
said Commander Read. That's my
old game-and I believe that in
dirigibles lie the greatest possibilities
Of the immediate future.
Understand, though, that there is
no doubt whatever about the wonder
full future of the airplane. But it
may be some time before enormous
planes of the right type are develope<
for commercial purposes or for eX-
tensive use with the fleet.
But there is no reason why bal
looms cannot be used commercially,
for the carrying of passengers and
freight, any time. They are capable
now of a weeks trip"
Commander Read was more eager
to talk of the early prospect OF get
ting home.
I'm eager to get home to see my
wife" he said. ITO tell the truth,
I'm just plain homesick. I was fly

Registration Fees
For Motor Trucks

AT the beginning of 1919 there
were still % states in which motor
trucks were registered at the same
rate as pleasure cars. Recent years,
however, have shown quite a general
tendency to increase the fees requir-
ed for heavy motor trucks. This in
crease usually is based on the
weight of the truck, it's carrying ca
pacity, or a combination of it's car
rying capacity and it's horsepower.
However, there is as yet no evidence
of any weIl-defned general goal to-
wards which this movement is tend
ing. Some states are placing def
mite maximum weight which may not
be exceeded except in very special
cases; others are evidently relying
on discouragingl or limiting the use
of very heavy trucks by making the
registration fees so large as to prac-
tically prevent the realization OF any
profit; while still other states are
making no serious efforts except to
limit the weight of the wheel loads
per inch width of tire. The term
motor truck and commercial vehicle,
moreover, is very definite. In some
states the term commercial vehicle
as used includes all trucks, while in
others only those vehicles used for
hire are classed as commercial.

Mexican Government
To Aid Its LabOrerS

MEXICO CITY.-Among the meth
DDS adopted by the Mexican govern
ment to aid Mexican laporers in the
United States who have suffered dur
ing the reconstruction period follow
ing the ending of the war, is one
by the department of agriculture to,
allot small plots of land in Lower
California to those who wish to re-
turn to their homeland from north
of the Rio Grande. By this means
it is hoped to repatriate thousands
Of Mexicans and also to populate
and render productive the millions
of acres of land in Lower California
which the government has taken over
from the former concessionaries for
not carrying out their obligations.
Requests from more than 500 Mex
lean families now residing in FL
Paso, Tex, that they be allowed to
return to Mexico to engage in farm
ing, have been received by the de-
partment of agriculture here and in
timation is given that the federal
government in the near future will
provide for their repatriation.

NextDoor Neighbors Exchange Husbands
And All Four Are Living Very Happily Now

Mrs. Rose Harvey and Mrs. Mar
garet Tilford, both of Omaha, Nep.,
have swapped husbands. John Til
ford is now living next door at Mrs.
Harvey's house, and Amos Harvey
is living at Mrs. Tilfords home.
The four are the best of friends,
and as soon as divorces now pend
ing are decreed Mrs. Tilford will be
married to Mr.. Harvey and Mrs. Hair
Both women keep boarders. and al
ready they are known by the names
of their future husbands rather than
their present legal husbands.
The Tilfords and the Harveys were
farmers and lived on adjoining farms
near Onawa, Iowa. Their divorce pc
titions were filed at Onawa, and the
hearings will come up in that town
in due order. Divorces were sought
by the women on the general ground
of cruelty" and non-cOmpat1b1l1ty.
Both families went to Omaha to
live, and secured houses next to
each other.
Temperament" was the cause of
the exchange, both women say.
Mrs. Harvey and Mr.. Tilford like
arms and hot kisses, according to
Mrs. Harvey. Mrs. Tilford and Mr..
Harvey want more subdued and
platonic relationship. But except for
the Q11eronC6 IN temperament CHSre
was not a great deal of choice in
husbands, the wives agree.
Harvey is thirty-four years old
five feet nine inches tall. and has
blue eyes.
Tilford is thirty years Of age, five
feet eight inches tall and husky.
Mrs. Tilford is twenty-nine years
old, five feet five inches tall, has
blue eyes and straight blond hair.
Mrs. Harvey is thirty-one years
cid. five feet seven inches tall, blue
eyed and wavy blond hair. And she
fits better in the strong arms OF
Tilford, she says, than she did in the
weaker ones of Harvey.
"I think we did the right thing
