THE MOTHER OF MEDICINE

Isis, the Queen and afterwards the
Goddess, was called the Mother of
Medicine" In ancient Egypt, centuries
before Christ, women were skilled in
medicine. They knew the great value
Of medicinal plants.
Hippocrates, the Father of Medi-
cine" many centuries later, knew less
OF the merit of vegetable drugs than
did the women of ancient times.
Lydia E. Pinkham, nearly fifty years
ago, gave to women her Vegetable
Compound, now known everywhere as
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. This is woman's medicine
for woman's ailments, prepared from
medicinal plants.

wIRTH ADMINISTRATION
IN GERMANY FALLS.

Berlin. Nov. Is. - German leaders
sought today combination OF politi-

duce a premier. The Wirth govern
ment resigned last night after l9
stormy months in Office.
Refusal OF the United Socialists to
join coalition. which included the
German Peoples party. which is
backed by Hugo SHINES and other
Conservative elements was the I'M
mediate cause OF Premierh Josep
Wirth's downfall. Without the Social
lists he had not sufficient majority to
carry on in the face OF adverse finan-
cial and the reparations tangle.

Liquor On American Ships.

Attorney General Daughterty
has never yet handed down his
opinion as to whether or not the
Shipping Board has a right to
be the only American agency for
the sale of liquor, 1t was more
than six months ago now that
attention was called to the fact
that the American ships flying
the American flag and operated
by the American Shipping Board
were selling liquor.
We should think it is a self
evident proposition that this is
against the law. Mr.. Daughtery
was asked for action on the mat
ter at the time and said that he
would later give his opinion. HE
has not as yet seemed fit to make
that opinion public.
One feature of the situation is
emphasized by a recent occur
ence in New York. The Elks
chartered a steamboat for a pic
excursion and in the midst of it
the boat was approached by a
cruiser, a quantitv of gin. whis-
ky and brandy found on board
was coafiscated. The boat was
not one of those operated by the
Shipping Board. Otherwise
this action could not have been
taken. Evening Post.

Dave speculated. 1t was wholly
plain that the old man had not yet
heard of Bruce's return. There was
no need to mention him. "We're glad
you are our friend" Dave went on.
"But we don't expect no one to stay

some small extent by it. How many

"a hundred it is" Dave told him
with finality.
The eyes above the dark beard
shone in the freight. The money
changed hands. They sat long time
deep in their own thoughts.
"All we ask" Dave said, "is that
you don't take sides against u.s."
I'll remember. OF course you want
me, in case Pm ever subpoenaed, to re
call signing the deed itself"
"Yes, we'd want you to testify to
that" ....
"Of course"
They chuckled together in the dark
ness. Then they turned to the blan
kets. ~.

cents. The net gain would be-the
figures flew quickly through his mind
ninety-nine dollars and ninety-four

for Dave. But the trouble was that
Simon might find out. The word had

one knee and raised the weapon. The
trapper did not guess his presence.
The blood leaped in Dawes veins.
But he caught himself with a
wrench. He realized that Simon had
spoken true wheN he said that the old
days were gone, that the arm of the
law reached father than formerly,
and it might evdn stretch to this far
place He remembered Simon's in
structiOns. "Thd quieter we can do
these things, the better" the clan
leader had said "If we can get
through to October thirtieth with no
killings, the saf r it is for ,us. Go
easy, Dave. Sound this Hudson out.
If he'll keep still for hundred, let
him have it in peace"
Dave slipped bis rifle into the hol-

the trail. He didn't try to stalk. In
moment Hudson heard his step and
looked up They met in a. circle of
freight.
1t is not the mountain way to frater-
