How many young girls suffer as Mrs.
Tegarden did and do not know where to
turn for advice or help. They often are
obliged to earn their living by toiling
day in and day out no matter how hard
the pain they have to bear. Every girl
who suffers in this way should try Lydia

if she does not get prompt relief write
to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.,
Lynn, Massachusetts, about her health.
Such letters are held in strict conf
dence.

ENVIED HIS SMALL DAUGHTER
Duck Hunter Would Have Given Much
for the Power She Exercised
over Ducks.

Betty, four years old, lives in n
modern apartment in Brooklyn, facing
Prospect park. She knows all the
squirrels in the park and the birds
that stay there in the summer.
For several weeks Betty Eas been
lonesome because all her feathered
friends went in search of warmer
weather, but now she has plenty OF
company again. Wild ducks are her
newest friends.
The ducks coming alight in Prospect
park lake and generally remain a week
or two to rest and feed. They ara
wary of men, but not afraid of chiE.
dren, if Betty is an example.
The other day she was walking
with her father, a duck hunter. Betty
noticed she couldn't get near the ducks
while she was with her father, but
when she left him and ran along tina
shore alone she found she could an
prOach them. After a little coaxin%
the ducks swan up and ate pieces az

HUGHES is NAMED
TO HEAD CABINET
CHARLES EVANS HUGHES IS
FIRST CABINET CHOICE
ANNOUNCED.
RAN FOR PRESIDENT IN 1916
Selection No Surprise, As Hughes
Was Understood To Be
Harding's Choice.

st Augustine, Fla.-Charles Evans
Hughes, former governor of New
York, justice of the supreme court
and republican nominee for the presi
dency in 1915, was formally designat
ed by President-elect Harding recent
ly as the secretary of state of the
coming administration. The an
nOuncement, embodying the first Off
cial word from the president-elect
/ regarding selections for membership
in his family of counsellors, was made
| in a simply worded oral statement
after a long conference between the
/ two men on the foreign problems that
must be solved after March 4. Meth
er Mr. Harding nor the prospective
head of the state department added
any formal comment
There was no element of surprise
in the selection, for it has been known
for several weeks that Mr.. Hughes
virtually was certain to be given the
place. He is understood to be Mr..
Harding's choice from the first, des-
pite strong pressure on behalf of other
aspirants.
In making this announcement Mr..
Harding declined to go into details
about the subjects discussed with Mr.
Hughes during their all-day confer
ence, saying that one of the policies
of his administration would be to let
each department head speak for him
self. Mr.. Hughes, in his turn, de-
clared no public statement on the
problems ahead would be expedient
at this time.
"Of course" he added, Il appraise
it is great privilege to be invited
by Senator Harding to serve in his
administration. And l regard it as
an imperative obligation to accept"
l generally was understood, how
ever, that diplomatic appointments |
to be made at the outset of the new |
administration furnished one of the |
topics talked over that there was con-
also of the preliminary steps
TO be taken toward the association of
nations. In regard to appointments,
the discussion was more or less indef-
mite, it being the policy of the presi-
lent-elect to delay most of the selec-
ions for diplomatic posts until after
Although neither Mr.. Harding nor
Mr.. Hughes would divulge the opin-
ons expressed during their consulta-
ion, the general impression among
hose close to the president-elect is
hat the first diplomatic approaches to
'ther nations in regard to peace as
ociations will be of an entirely in
ormal character.
No official diplomatic conference
) expected on the subject and no
credited diplomatic mis-
ions are likely to be sent abroad IN
il the attitude of the other powers
as been felt out quietly and some
asis for negotiations established.
Mr. Hughes will bring to the secre-
aryship of state legal training of
nusual scope as well as a mind SYM
athletic to international agreement {
,r the maintenance of peace. During {
le treaty fight he advocated reserv-
/ ratification of the Versailles c
ague and he proposed several res Y
'vations which were considered by b
le senate majority in the prepare c
on for it's final program. l
