 There is one fact women should con- sider and thatis this. Women suffer from irregularities and various forms of weak ness. They try this and that doctor, as well as different medicines. Finally they take Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound, and Mrs. Sherman's s experience is simply another case showing the merit of this well-known medicine.
 If your family physician fails to help you and the same old troubles persist, why isn t 1t reasonable to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound?

TO JUDGE Lands
To Ask Baseball Arbiter TO Cancel Sus-
pension Order and impose a Fine.
fex nae AssoeIated Pressl

CHICAGO. Jan. 19-Babe Ruth has de-
cided that he went too far in violating
the rules of organized baseball by play
ing post-season games and is attempting
TO persuade Judge Kenesaw NJ. Lands,
Baseball Commissioner, through per-
sonal appeal, to mitigate his punishment
of suspension until May 20 and a fine of
more than $4,000.
Ruth. who is appearing at theatre
here this week. yesterday telephoned to
Judge Landis' office in an effort to ar
range a personal interview with him, but
the Judge was confined to his home with
bad cold.
A second call was made today, but
the Judge still was sick and indications
ARE that Ruth may not be able to reach
him.
II no interview can be arranged before
the Yankee outfielder leaves town he will
take up his case with the judge by mail.
The home run hitter refused to discuss
the matter tonight, but close friends said
that Ruth deeply regretted Haunting of
Judge Lands authority.
Ruth's appeal will be based. 1t was
said, on his present penitence and a
plea to the Judge not to injure the New
York Americans by keeping him out of
the lineup for moro than a month. He
is expected TO urge the judge TO make
his punishment entirely fine.
