Moundaville, W. Va. "I had taken
doctor's medicine for nearly two years
because my periods
I were irregular, came
every two weeks,
and 1 would sutler
with bearing-down
pains. A lady told
me of Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable
Compound and how
much good it had
done her daughter,
so 1 took it and now
I am regular every
month and have no
pain at all. I recommend your medi
cine to everyone and you may publish
my testimonial, hoping that the Vege
table Compound does some other girl
the good it has done me. " Mr3. George
"Tegakden, 915 Third Street, Mounds
ville, W. Va.
How many young girls suffer as Mrs.
Tegarden did and do not know where to
turn for advice or help. They often aro
obliged to earn their living by toiling
day in and day out no matter how hard
the pain they have to bear. Every girl
who suffers in this way should try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
if she does not get prompt relief writo
to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.,

Coblenz. Tales of adventure In the
American West are the favorite read

Strangely enough, Julius Caesar
runs a close second with the dough

Ithlnu valley and the ruins of a bridge
he built across the Rhine, which lifts
Caesar's work out of the schoolbook
class and makes It a guidebook that
carries the Americans back nearly
'.2,000 years.
Books wliich describe the legends

popular, especially with the soldiers

tho department of psychology at the

With the beginning of lO'il, tho

It has a great ballroom, which makes
an excellent reading room, nnd also
hns sun parlors and large drawing
rooms, witli ninny windows. Mnny
Germans lmve asked for the privilege
of using the library, but this has been
denied, as the army did not think It
advisable. One German told the li
brarian he had lived ninny years in
America and should really be allowed
to have books, because he was an

New Orleans a pickpocket who
Is expert enough to fill 1111 the

this when ho stole a gold tooth

the tooth happened to be In Mr.

Tried by British.
"The British, early In the wnr, de
veloped very satisfactory smoke can
dles which wen1 used by all the al
lies. The Americans also developed u
candle which was satisfactory, but
which did not get Into production and
u-e in Krance before the armistice.
The smoke Is normally white, must
have maximum capacity and be cool
enough to prevent thG setting up ol
air currents nnd thus rise from the
ground. It must be heavy so as to be
displaced by the minimum amount of
wind nt low velocity. These require
ments are admirably met by cnndles
which produce a smoke consisting of
zinc chloride.
"As regards the future of Incendlarj
mntcrlal, my own opinion, which opin
ion, however, Is substantiated by at
least some of the military critics, la
that Incendlnry material, except for
small nrms and long range shell nnd
drop bombs, will hnvo at least a lim
ited and, perhaps, no use. The flame
projectors will probably never boused
In a future war. Smoke- material, on
tho other hand, will have n very exten
sive and ever-Increasing use. By tho
use of the smoke screen during an nt
tack the casualties can be lnrgely re
duced. New Us,e of Smoke.
There was In progress of develop
ment by tho British and Americans
during the lntter part of the war smoko
candles which would give a toxic
smoke. Tho toxic material em
ployed was diphenylchlorarsine. Di
phenylchlorarsine Is a solid which va
porizes In tho heat of tho candle and
is obtained In such a state of division
that It will penetrate most gns masks.
Such toxic smokes, of which thero will
probably lie others developed, will find
a very extensive use In the future. It
Is the greatest step mado thus far In
tho new use of smoke."
