seventy years old now and am able to do my own housework and walk one mile to church every Sunday morning and evening. I am recommending the Vegetable Compound to my friends hav- ing the same troubles as I had. Your remedy is the best on earth. I cannot find words to express my gratitude to it."-Mrs. SUSAN c. STAPLES, 157 B School St., Taunton, Mass.
 The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters is that Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and illness.
 It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, such as displacements, inflammation, and uI- ceration. Why don't you try it?

EXPECTS CHEAPER SHOES.

Washington, May 25-Lower shoe prices next winter were predicted to- day by Edward A. Brand, secretary of the Tanners Council of the United States, testifying before a Senate committee of inquiry. Tanners and manufacturers believe prices will fall. MT Brand said, because of the recent decline in leather prices. This de- cline could not sooner be reflected in shoe cost, he said, because shoes are made up far in advance of the season in which they are offered on the market

CANNING DEMONSTRATION.

There is a canning demonstration at the Food Hut tomorrow afternoon at 2:3O o'clock, under the direction of Miss Gladys Green. These de- rnonstrations should be of the great est interest to housewives as the cold pack method is used and this does not demand inc use of sugar. This is great advantage this year in view of the shortage and high prices of this commodity. Asparagus is the vegetable to be canned and straw berry the fruit.

II there is one thing in your
life that you would rather have

sin never saved a soul. You can
quit gambling, or drinking, or
profanity or adultery and go 10
hell. Il isn't what you give up
but what YOU get that saves.
Young fellows walk around
these streets and use profanity
and are stuck up about il be-
cause they can sin. That's some
thing anybody can do. 1t takes
a man to be n christian. 1t takes
heroic hearts 10 be true TO God.

good job of it.
Suppose somebody told you. as
they told Daniel, that you could
either go back on God or go to

YOU would do. You. like Judas,

times for 80 pieces Of silver and

TERMINAL MARKETS
THROUGH INDIANA
Federal Trade Commission
Favors Opening Markets in
Consuming Centers.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April IS
The high cost of living will be COM
bated in Indiana by the Csta blish-
ment Of terminal markets i'm all the
large cities of the state, If the ad-
vice of the federal trade commission
is taken.
Strikes Responsive Chord.
The commissions recommends
ton that facilities in the great con-
suming centers be improved by the
opening of terminal markets appears
TO have struck a responsive chord.
The commission has received a large
number of kilograms from various
sections of the country approving the
recommendation as the clearest note
that has thus far been sounded in
connection with the high cost of liv-
ing discussion.
The persons who have communi-
Gated with the commission very gen
orally ask if the federal govern
ment is likely TO follow up the COM
missions recommendation with any
action. The commission, Of course,
has no authority to take any steps
toward making its recommendation
effective. Whatever is to be done
in the way of improving market ia
cilities must be done by the state or
municipalities. Members of the com
mission expressed the hope today
that the report would influence
state and municipal action.
Discuss Conditions.
The subject Of terminal markets
has been under discussion in a good
many cities for some time. It seems
TO be generally agreed that such
markets should be established in
every city of considerable size. 4

problem of food distribution recon-
mended terminal markets as the

The depar rtment of agriculture
which has been conducting am in
quirv with respect TO food distrbu-
ton has come 10 the same conclusion
as the federal trade commission. The
departments investigation was made
through the bureau Of markets,
which sent experienced men 10 many
of the larger cities TO study the local
situation. These investigators have
nearly all returned and they are of
one mind on the point that properly
managed terminal wholesale and re-
tail markets would go along way to-

thus far not given serious thought 20
the terminal market question. IL
was said at the department today,
however. that undoubtedly the fed
eral trade commission is on the right
track.
The department Of justice is said
TO be thinking seriously of abandon
ing its campaign against the high
cost of living. The efforts of the
department in that direction have
thus far not brought results worth
mentioning. The cost Of the cam
paign has been large. The recent
efforts of the department To per
