Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. which for more than forty years has been relieving women of America from some of the worst forms of female ills.

A PRIZE DIPLOMATIC PROBLEM.

1t is said that President Harding
would be glad to give prize for prac-
teal suggestion for the collection of for
eign debts to the United States While
no definite award has been offered by the
White House, there is no doubt that a
workable debt program would deserve
rich compensation
The President is reported as over
whelmed with gratuitous generaIities on
the adjustment of these debts, but when
he tries to pin any of his advisers down
to a concrete program he finds notable
Discrimination or inability.
1t Is always easier to criticize than
to make constructive suggestions. 1t is
easier to indulge in generalities on any
many-sided question than to find one
feasible way. Even when some fairly
workable plan is proposed by one fac
ton, there is always the little problem
of the other faction which refuses to
cooperate because it has a perfectly
good scheme of its own, and wants the
power and the glory which win accrue
to putting it over.
1t might pay any public official ac-
tually to offer a prize in some such con
nection. The effort to earn it would

but never took his seat, owing TO the fact
that at the time he was undergoing
penal servitude for the crime of high
treason. Few Britishers of the present
generation have figured more conspic-
uously in the limelight than has Col.
Lynch. The son of Irish parents he
passed his boyhood in Australia and re-
ceived his education at Melbourne uni
versity. Going to Galway, Ireland,
which was the home of his ancestors he
plunged into party politics. After being
defeated for parliament in 1892 he went
to London and engaged in journalistic
work. In the South African war he
fought on the side of the Beers. for

treason and sentenced TO imprisonment
for life. After serving about a year of
his sentence he was released. In the
late war in Europe he rendered valuable
service to the British government.

And the home distiIling is not much bet

OF proper procedure and inability on the

Il proper temperature result in the pro-
duction of ether, fusel oil and other
highly poisonous liquids instead of al

the drinking of the stuff now being
made and distributed is producing an
alarming crop of diabetes.
The surroundings of the illicit distiIl-
ing business are nauseating. too. Some
stills have been found hidden under hog
pens. Nearly all of the bootleg stills are
filthy as we'll as unscientific. Some of
them use lead pipe instead of copper,
thus adding another poison to their
devils brew.
1t is not so very much better with
soft drinks, which also are being made
in great quantity by home-brewers and

The chief of one city food inspection
bureau says soft drinks are being made
widely by people in their back yards
