A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visi. 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, 0C0 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 SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil end tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine 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

fishing attest to its virtue.

VICTORY LOAN MOST
IMPORTANT YET ASKED

Service men, not only in this
country, but in France, are watching
the Victory loan results Those abroad
know its success means a quicker re-
turn home for them. The wounded
and manned in this country know it
means the success of the rehabilition
program, If it carries and to my
mind this is the most important loan
yet asked for by the government"
This statement was made today by
Captain A. II. Conner of Bonner
county, former speaker of the house
Of representatives, who saw service
and was wounded in the Argonne for
est and is now giving his time to
hoost Idaho across in the Victory loan
campaign.
Captain Conner arrived from north
Idaho Sunday. lie accompanied the
trophy train through the north and
has been making addresses for the
loan in his own section Of the state.
lie reports Bonner, his home county,
would soon so over the top and other
4+'i III ibSthO COUNTIES were sure 10
subscribe their full quota.
one of the reasons why Captain
Common feels this is the most impor-
tant loan asked by the government is
that the men who have so willingly
made every sacrifice and entered the
service, invested in other bonds while
IN France without even being solicited,
are now watching other citizens to as
certain the depth of their patriotism
when the money is to be expended to
aid them. Former loans were to carry
on the war, he said, the loan today is
to voice the appreciation of the citi-
zens of this country for service rem
dered, to bring home soldiers and edu-
cate men who We're injured and those
men are watching the result. SAYS
Captain Conner to see If the patrio-
tlsm of those who stayed at home is as
great as those who Joined the service.
Most of the service mon, he states,
Rave invested their meager savings
and their bonus money in bonds, to
show that they still stand behind the
government to the last ditch.
Captain Conner leaves tonight or in
the morning for southeas stern Idaho
TO begin his itinerary in the south in
the interests of the Victory loan.
