WOMEN WORKERS

In almost every line of war activi-
done we'll and have taken front
rank for doin work that released
thousands of men for service over
seas. Some women have been over
ambitious, and, at the expense of
their health, have filled places once
occupied by men. Every woman
who, because of overwork, has
brought on some ailment peculiar
to her sex, should depend upon
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound to restore her health and
strength, as this remedy is now re-
cognized as the standard and has
restored multitudes.

He offers me fine home and every
thing l want but l feel as though I
want to see a little bit of the world

My only wish is to go out West, as
I love horses. / have a girl friend
who IS always telling me it is no
place for me and that If | went West

I believe you would be disappointed

and know something of the people
you are going to stop with before YOU

tives in the West if anyone would liz.
to employ a girl on a ranch. 1 believe
you would be glad to return after
six months or so.
WHOSE INITIALS SHALL SHE USE!
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX.
VIII you kindly settle the following
argument. | am engaged to a young
man and the first initial of his last
name is M" while the first initial
of my last name is ID" Now what
want to know is this: My girl friend

1t isn't lucky to use the young mans
initials.
DOROTHY.
All linens. silver and other house
hold belongings of the new home are
marked with the brides initials. There
is no superstition connected with the
custom, only a convention. The bride
is changing her name, the marking OF
silver with her initials Is the equiva-
lent of keeping n sentimental record
of her family name for future genera
tions.
