Health Of Women

How many perfectly well women do you know? Isn't it true that in order to keep up with the march of progress the endurance of woman is often strained to its utmost, and the tax upon her physi- cal system is in many cases greater than she can stand. Headaches develop, and nervous irritability, bsckache, dragging down sensations. and other painful ail- ments peculiar to women. The reliable remedy when a woman gets into such 9 condition is Lydia E. Pinkham's Nege- table Compound. as for nearly half 2 century it has proved the natural res torative for these troubles.

DR.. YRIGOYEN
TO SIT
BEFORE CAMERA

Buenos Aires.-President Hippo
Tito Yrigoyen of Argentina is re-
puted to have an aversion to hay-
ing his picture taken and it is said
that he has p~ersistently refused to
sit before a professional photog-
rapher.
This reputation is confirmed by
the government organ, La Epoca,
which takes an anti-government
paper to task for saying that at the
instance of one of the departments
of the government, photographs OF
the president were distributed
among crowds who gathered at the
government house to e a military
parade reviewed by him on Column
bus day. The intimation was that
the photographs were distributed
for political effect.
The entire country knows" says
La Epoca, in denying the respon-
sibiIity of the government in the
matter, that the president of the
republic, DR. YrigOyen never has
consented to sit in front of a cam
era. OF the many pictures OF him
which circulate there is none that
can be called authentic, although
some snapshots which he could not
prevent being taken, reproduce
his features with more or less per
fection. This everybody knows,
Just as everybody knows his sim
plicity and his repugnance for this
sort of exhibition"
