Women and girls car
not hide their amazement
when they find out fol
themselves how quickly
and easily the phenomen-
al medicine known at st.
Joseph's G. F. P. acts to
free them from those dis
tressing ailments such as
h e a d a ches, dizziness,
n nervousness, nausea,
cramping, irregularity, ir-
ritability, swelling of the
limbs and joints during
pregnancy, and that aw-
full rundown feeling OF
apprehesion and depres-
sion so common among
them nowadays, and re-
store them to health and
happiness, with plenty of
energy, vitality and youth
full buoyancy.
Never, before the intro
duction of G.. F. F., were
women able to find any
thing they could depend
IN for relief and help
lThen they found them
selves b ein G dragged
down and weakened by
any of those so-called
"female troubles"
The reason for this is
plain when you take into
consideration that no one
seemed to know or could
find out what was causing
ell this pain and suffering
among women and girls
until the discoveries of st.
Joseph's G.. F. P. announced
that they had found out and
definitely proven that one
dreaded malady Catarrh
of the Female Organs-is
responsible for nine out of
ten cases Of these common
disorders.
It's a lmost miraculous
power to overcome and

peared for Broadway run. This
season the materials are Of the finest
heavy silks and cashmere. The cffett
lads wear their scnrfs wound around
their necks and thrown over in loose
knot in front, in the manner of the
Ascot cravat.
The trick this season is TO manage
a cravat, muffler and a handker-
chief to match if possible, thus achiev-
ing a sartorial trinity guaranteed to
inspire colorful comment. The popu'
larity of the blue overcoat this win
ter in sturdy. double-breasted models
practically assures the vogue of the
subtle muffler, the latter offsetting the
plainness of the staple outer garment.
Both the muffler and the manner of its
being worn constitute twin features OF
the present period.

DEMOCRAT SAYS
PARTY FAST
FADING
Leaders Called Upon to
Get Together on
Program.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. TO-
What is the matter with the Demo
cratic party?
Nothing, save that it has been
deserted by too many Democrats.
Thus docs Representative Elmer
Thomas, Democrat, Oklahoma, ask
and answer a moot question in a state
ment sent today to Democratic mem
bers of Congress and party leaders
generally, calling upon them to get
together upon a congressional pro-
gram.
Declaring that There is no visible
Democratic party today, either as a
living code or principles or as an
organized aggregation of individuals"
Thomas adds:
G. o. p. WIDE AWAKE.
while Democrats have lost sight
of such Democratic principles and
policies as state rights, tariff for
revenue, low taxation, and economy
in public expenditures, the thinking
and far-seeing Republicans have
seized upon these ancient Democratic
doctrines and are branding them as
their own"
Thomas calls upon the party 10
observe the 10th anniversary Of the
signing of the Declaration of indie
pendence by promoting a program IN
honor of Thomas jefferson rs fol-
lows:
ITO re-state the principles of
the Democratic party.
"2-To outline anew the policies Of
the Democratic party.
PROPOSES PROGRAM.
"3-To enumerate the major issues
or problems pending for solution and
to define the Democratic position
thereon"
Among the issues which he urged
the party to lay hold on are tax re-
duction, Decentralization Of govern
mental powers, abolition of bureau
crazy, rcassertion of states right, re-
duction of tariff, adherence to the
League of Nations world court and
CONSUMPTION of men, industries and
property in time of war.
Such a program, he adds, will in.
stantly command the approval and
support Of a vast majority Of the
people of the United States

Shorn of Former Glories Its
Population Is Fast
Dwindling.

Leningrad, Russia.-No city in Rus
sia has been more profoundly affect
ed by the revolution and it's aftermath
than Leningrad, the old capital. Once
the head" Of Russia, as Moscow was
it's heart" the old st. Petersburg
seems even to have lost it's intellectual
supremacy and it's artistic prestige.
The city is merely a decaying monu-
ment of the past.
The removal of the capital to Mos
COW would inevitably have spelled
Leningrads doom as political center,
but the metropolis which Peter the
Great built more than 200 years ago
has greatly deteriorated In other re-
spects. Most of its great public build
ings and private mansions are falling
into ruin for lack of money with which
to repair them.
All the fine foreign embassy build
ings, including that formerly occupied
by the Americans, show the ravages
Of time, weather and neglect. The
winter palace, the admiralty, all the
elegant edifces along the Neva, the pal
aces of the mobiles, wear a dull, drab
dress as if mourning for the past.
Population DWindIes Fast.
The population has decreased from
100000 to 650,OOQ. The foreign visi-
tor expresses wonder how even this
reduced number can support them
selves, for the city has few industries
and there is much unemployment. The
business life of the city is confined al
most entirely TO halting retail trade.
The famous Nevsky Prospect, the
broadway" of Leningrad, is only a
ghost of its former splendor, gayety,
and picturesqueness. The small retail
stores, bazaars, arcades, confectioners,
emporiums and bookshops, that once
made the broad thoroughfare vie with

Search for Economies in French Gov

Leningrad Now
Drab Picture

Fifth avenue in New York, have given
place to unattractive cooperative and
state stores, cheap cinema theaterS
and Communist centers.
All credit, however, must be given
the Bolsheviki for having, on their
slender means, kept the public mu-
seums, picture galleries, parks AMI
other places up to their former stand
ards
AS in the days of the czars, the
Hermitaze Fine Arts museum retains
it's place as one of the finest in all
Europe. It's collection of Rembrandt
Van Dyck, Murillo, Velasquez, Sny-
ders and Wouverman paintings is said
to be superior to that of the Metro
politan museum in New York.
The Bolsheviki appear to have
shown the same Indifference and lack
of sentiment toward Leningrad as a
political center as the Turks have
manifested toward ConstantinopIe. In
removing the seat of government from
Leningrad to Moscow the Bolsheviki
ike the turkish NdllOudIlSCS, VINO
transferred their capital to Angora,
were actuated by reasons of security.
They believed the site which Peter
the Great chose for the national capt
tai on the shores of the Gulf of Finland
exposed them too much to the danger
of foreign attack. There was nothing,
they said, to prevent any of the Euro
pean navies from sweeping across the
Baltic sea and the Gulf of Finland and
invading Russia's shores.
Moreover, there are few railroad
highways out. of Leningrad by which
the Bolsheviki could flee in the event
of foreign attack, while in Moscow
there are many convenient exits if
the government should ever be pressed
to leave the capital in a hurry. Mos
COW is 400 miles inland from the
nearest body of water to which a
foreign foe would have access, which
gives the Bolsheviki immunity from
foreign incursion.

HotO Colonial Postal
System Was Organized

In the English colonies in Amer
lea before 1889 such postal facilities
as existed were supplied by private
enterprises. In 1889 the General
court of Massachusetts took the first
step toward the establishment of a
government postal system. In Vfr-
ginia each planter was required to
convey the dispatches, as they ar
rived, to the next plantation, and so
on. In 1872 the government of New
York established a monthly mail to
Boston, and this practice was fol-
lowed in other colonies. Benjamin
Franklin was identified with the early
interests Of the colonial post office
In 1897 - was appointed postmaster
Of Philadelphia. In 1875 the de-
livery of letters by penny post was
begun. In 1855 the colonies combined
to establish their own post office and
to pay the necessary officials. The
Continental congress appointed COM
mittee to devise postal system, which
went into effect July 26, 1775. Ben
jamin Franklin was unanimously ap-
pointed postmaster general.

HOW

! COINAGE OF SILVER WOULD
( SAVE TREASURY MONEY
Some time ago 1t was announced
< that the United States treasury
would seek to put silver dollars
. into circulation to a greater ex-
tent than has prevailed for
some years. Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Charles S.
Dewey reveals the reason. In
speaking in Boston Mr.. Dewey
said that a dollar bill costs IT
< cents for printing and it lasts
about four months. A silver
: dollar costs l cent for minting
and it lasts indefinitely, says
the Pittsburgh GaZette-Times,
/. If 100000 silver dollars are
put in circulation to replace
bills there will be an immedi-
ate saving of $1O00,0OO year.
He remarked further, "Mr. Mel
lon is vitally interested in
creating savings"
A million dollars saved to
the United States treasury is
: Of not less value than $1,000,
