THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman’s Use.
A visit to the laboratory where this
Successful remedy is made impresses!
even the casual looker-on with tne reli
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman’s ills.
Over 350,000 pounds of various herbs
are used anually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as a final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and caro used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
go successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
lishing attest to its virtue.
BIG DEMAND FOR MAHOGANY
Name Commercially Is Applied to
More Than Fifty Woods—Sub
stitutes Are Numerous.
The name “mahogany” is applied
commercially to more than 00 different
woods, says Popular Science Monthly.
Perhaps half the lumber now sold un
der that name In not true mahogany,
for the demand greatly exceeds the
supply.
The (ree Is only native to the limited
area between southern Florida and
northern South America. Nowhere else
does It really flourish. But the public
will have mahogany. Women want it
for furniture, business men prefer it
for office fixtures, and teak and ma
hogany are rivals in the affections of
shipbuilders. Therefore substitutes
flourish.
It is not surprising that the real
wood is so expensive when it Is learned
that it takes from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty years for a ma
hogany tree to reach merchantable
size.
Most of the substitutes bear little
more than a general resemblance to
the genuine wood, but skillful finishing
makes them very much alike. Experts
can usually distinguish between them
by the aid of an ordinary pocket lens.
The efforts of the superficial, however,
to judge tlie wood by its appearance,
weight, grain and color often lead
them astray.
FARMERS ARE WORKIKS HARDER
And uving their feet more than ever before.
For all these workers the frequent use of
Allen’s Fooffi-Ease, the antiseptic powder to
be shaken into the shoes and sprinkled in the
foot-bath, inereave3 their efficiency and in
sures needed physical comfort. It takes the
Fricliou from tho Shoe, freshens the feet,
and prevents thy aching and blistered feet.
Women everywhere arc constant users of
Allen’s Foot=Ease. Don’t get foot sore, get

j WAR SLEUTHING CARRIES THRILLS, SHE SAYS. j
^
MISS KATHERINE KAELRED.
The newst thrill in life, besides which stunts of movie actors and ac
cesses and women steeplejacks fade away is government secret service work,
iccording to Miss Kaelred, English actress. Miss Kaelred has known many
secret service operatives and has decided to quit the stage to take up war
sleuthing. She first got the "bug” while starring in r. war play in London.
j An Effective Curb on Germany, j
Harrington Emerson, in the American Review of Reviews.
An International Marine association is neither a boycott nor a
discrimination. Rules would apply to all members alike. No trade
war is instituted against the degenerate who rages nakedly in his
own house. He can come into the street and trade anywhere if he
behaves. Even if Prussia evacuates France and Belgium and little
Luxemburg, Poland, Russia, Rumania, Serbia, Montenegro, and
Italy, her word is not good, but internationalized seas would hold her
within moral boundaries. Running amuck would mean that all the
crowd would join in subduing her, every port and coaling station and
cable office would be closed to her.
Does this mean that the strategic passages of the sea, the straits
of Gibraltar, the Suez canal, the Panama canal, the straits at Singa
pore, the Dardanelles, should be internationalized? They should on
the contrary' be strongly fortified and held by the present allies
severally for at least 100 years, until three generations of German
are dead and gone, until treaties are not scraps of paper. The police
force of our cities, while making the streets safe for all, do not give
up control of their police stations. These are held as rallying points
of order. Would the United States dismantle its forts commanding
the narrows and the entrance to Hampton roads? Not yet. Germany
is not to be trusted even if she should join an international marine,
By holding the great sea passages the allies, loyally' joining the
International Marine, must hold the whip over any' power cpiite
capable of building secretly 1.000 submarines with which suddenly
to attack her sea neighbors at some future date. It was one thing to
attack in succession Poland, Sweden, Austria, Denmark, France,
Russia and Belgium. It would be" quite another to antagonize a
whole world, holding the great passages, the coaling and repair
stations evervwhere.

Jeweled Sword to March.
From the New York Times.
The city of Easton, Pa., 'birthplace of
Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of staff of
the army, has presented a jeweled sword
to him. The presentation was made by
^Ipyor David W. Nevin.
After expressing hH appreciation for
the gift, General March told of some of
the accomplishments of the war depart
ment during the past few weeks. In
May, he said, more American troops were
taken to Europe than were there when he
left in February. It was not only the
man power of America that was now
mobilized, the general said, but other re
sources, including the emotional forces of
the country. By a great wave of patriot
ism, he 'declared, those who have sought
to accumulate profit from the war have
been swept aside.
Motor Driven Plane.
From the Emergency Fleet News.
A motor driven, portable jack plane
adaptable to plain, convex or concave
surface, which it is claimed will enable
cne man to do the work of from 20 to 30
men with old fashioned hand planes, is
being introduced’ into shipyards at Jack
sonville, where it is manufactured. Offi
cials of the shipping board have expressed
much interest in the speed, endurance and
efficiency claimed for the new tool.
The apparatus consists of a small motor,
which supplies power, a flexible arm
through which the power is transmitted,
and the planing tool guided by hand and '
containing a cutting burr with which
the driving shaft is connected.
Army Cures Alcoholism.
VFilliam C. Gorgas, in Collier's Weekly.
Eight hundred cases of alcoholism have
been cured during our camp experience.
Thi3 is a condition that comes to us from
civil lifo when the men are drafted. These
men may backslide at some future time,
when they are released from military
supervision, but for the time being, at
least, 800 lives have been rendered nor
mal and temperate.

“Franglais” a New Tongue.
From the Fargo (N. 1>.) Courier-News.
"Franglais” is a new language that you
hear in France today. The word Is made
out of francais and anglais -the French
words for French and English—and the
language itself is maoe out of a fearful
jumble of words that were perfectly good
when they played by themselves, but
don't al s ays mix.
Franglais is what you hear where
American and English men aikd women
without a very good knowledge of their
hosts' own speech find themselves at
work alongside of French men and
French women—soldiers, nurses, relief
workers, shopkeepers and ail sorts of
folks.
American Red Cross workers t-ojy that
when you gather up several hundred little
French babies who have hardly begun to
speak any language at all, and several
hundred llttler ones who are speaking
the universal and universally incompre
hensible language of babyhood, the re
sults are one degree harder to under
stand than grownup Franglais.

4 to enjoy their first sleep in real 4

4 In the reading room of the hotel 4
4 is a guest book, on the cover of 4

DOG A PROBLEM IN ENGLAND
Diminishing Food Supply Makes Ca
nine Industry Difficult One From
War Standpoint.
The British government Is wrestling
with nrobletn of whnt to do with
dogs ■ of the rapidly diminish
ing .f food. It seems settled
that nber of dogs is to be re
duced. e are hardly any dog bis
cuits lei nd no more will be manu
factured, ns tbe low grade flour from
which they are made Is wanted for the
textile trades.
Bminr Law, Chancellor of tbe exche
quer, refused to Include a heavy rax
on dogs In bis budget, which be In
troduced In tbe last week of April.
Ills friends said that such a lax would
kill dog-breeding as an Industry) and ,
would work unequally between rich
and poor. Tbe poor man’s dog would
be sacrificed, while tbe pampered j
Pekinese would flourish.
Now tbe alternative proposal Is to !
prohibit the breeding of dogs during j
tbe war except under license. The ef- ;
feet of this would be to allow the per- |
petuation of pedigreed breeds, which i
have taken many years and large sums J
of money to produce, and also useful
dogs, like sheep dogs and array dogs.
Tbe breeding of mongrels and prob
ably of purely fancy dogs would be
prohibited.
There will be no interference with
people who already have dogs. They
will in tbe future need all their In
genuity to keep pets fed.
Militant Medicos.
Events in France have led to a
shortage of medical men with the ar
my, for it stands to reason that In any
toll of prisoners taken a percentage
will represent the medical personnel
of the forces. And that percentage !
must often be n high one, as In the
zones of the clearing station mobility
cannot be a feature.
Cuticura Complexions.
Nothing better than Cuticura Soap
daily and Ointment ns needed to make
tile complexion clear, scalp clean and
hands soft and white. For free sam
ples address “Cuticura, Dept. X, Bos
ton.” Sold by druggists and by mail.

“That will deal a blow to the theory

Smoking in France.
Tobacco cards have made their ap
pearance in France. The town of Au
bin lias taken the Initiative and it is
expected that ninny other towns and
cities will follow' suit. No card will be
delivered to youths under sixteen years
of age. No provision is made for wom
en. There lias been n shortage of to
bacco in France during the last three
months.
Dubious Compliment.
“Mrs. Bings’ new baby Is just in the
fashion.”
“How do you mean?”
“It is sueli a red cross affair.”
Not Surprising.
“Is your lazy husband doing any
thing now, my poor woman?”
“Yes’m; lie's doin’ time.”

tablet or two of EATONIC after your
meals. It’s good—just like eating
candy. Enjoy the quick, sure relief
it brings—how almost instantly it re
lieves indigestion, heartburn, food
repenting, sour stomach, and that pain
ful, puffed-up, bloated, lumpy feellm
after eating. EATONIC will help yotj
all to a pain-free stomach—a sweet;
cool, comfortable stomach—In fact;
those who take EATONIC say it makes
them forget they have stomachs. They
never dreamed that anything could

ful results. Don't wait until the sum
mer sickness of stomach and bowel*
weakens you—but start using EAT
ONIC today! Just one or two after
meals; that’s all.
Your health—your folks* health—id
a matter of vital Importance, not only
to yourself, but also to the nation. And

one’s stomach and bowels during the
hot spells.

a day to use It—a big box 50 cents—
no more. That is the price, and re
member, EATONIC is absolutely guar
anteed to do nil we claim—in fact,
more. It’s the best Stomach Remedy
you ever used.
