Roseland Place, Baltimore, Md.
That is the thought so often expressed
in letters recommending Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. These wo-
men know what they have suffered, they
describe their symptoms and state how
they were finally made well. just plain
statements, but they want other women
to be helped.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is medicine made from medi-
cinal roots and herbs, and without drugs,
to relieve the sickness women so often
have, which is indicated by backache,
weak feelings, nervousness, and no am
bition to get anything done or to go
anywhere. 1t has helped many women.
WHY not try it?

Kid" 1t isn't supposed to; but it's
Just as funny. Even sphinx would
break into coy giggle if it could
see Charles hanging onto a long
chain of sausages, nonchalantly
reading his Evening Gazette under
the impression that he is swinging
along on a crowded street car.
It's Chaplin's picture. He wrote
the story. He directed the making
of it and he stars in it. Apparently
it would seem that when you've said
Chaplin you've. said all that needs to
be said about Chaplin comedy. It's
more of a truism in this case than
ever because in addition to Charles,
brother Sidney is in the cast, too
But the players also include Edna
Purivance and Mack Swain who are
splendid foils for the stars stunts.

GIRLS CLUB WORK
FORGING AHEAD

With the warm weather now at
hand, Miss Bonnie Parkman, county
home economics agent, is urging the
club girls to push their garden wOI6
forward, and is offering some very
helpful suggestions for the Prepara-
ton and planting of the seeds.
Miss Parkman says that as soon as
all danger of frost is over, the seeds
in the ground to be rushed to matur-
ity. This early planting and atten.
ton is advised in order that the in
sects and various pests may have no
opportunity to interfere with the
growing process.
Many calls are being had at the of
flee of Miss Parkman for soup mix
lures, canned vegetables of all kinds,
preserves and jellies, to be put up by
the canning club girls of Sumter
county. Already the fame of their
products has spread abroad through
the medium of the county and state
fairs, and Miss Parkman regards this
as an important factor in increasing
enthusiasm in club work. The cost
of preserving and canning, she states.
will be reduced this year, because of
a decrease in the price of tin cans and
glassware, which can and should be
purchased here in Americas.
Strawberries, which are now rapid
ly ripening, should be preserved and
jellied, and 4 ready market is open
for this product.
The offering of many valuable
prizes by the counties and state
should be an inducement for the can
ming clubs to bestir themselves earyl
for the capture of the medals. Sum-
ter is to be made the banner county.
