A FRIEND INDEED
Writes Mrs. Hardee Regarding
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound
Los Angeles, Calif. —' ‘I must tell you
that I am a true friend to Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable
Compound. I have
taken it off and on
for twenty years and
it has helped me
change from a deli
cate girl to a stout,
healthy woman.
When 1 was married
I was sick all the
time until I took
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Com
pound. I was in bed
much of my time with pains and had to
have the doctor every month. One day
I found a little book in my yard in
Guthrie,Oklahoma, and I read it through
and got the medicine—Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound—and took
eight bottles and used the Sanative
Wash. I at once began to get stronger.
I have got many women to take it just
by telling them what it has done for me.
I have a young sister whom it has
helped in the same way it helped me.
* I want you to know that I am a ’friend
indeed, 'tor you were a*friend inneed. ’
—Mrs. George Hardee, 104? Byram
St, Los Angeles, California
Let Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetabls
Compound be a “ friend indeed ” to you.

SIOUX CITY PTG. CO..~NO. C--1922
I Hiifi&inn 'Vrndp i
From tho Memphis News-Scimitar.
Senator France, who recently returned from Russia, denies the charge
that has been so frequently made that he favors the recognition of the Rus
sian government. On the other hand, the senator declares that he has urged
upon the secretary of state tho importance of sending a commission to Rus
sia to investigate conditions and to discuss with the Ue facto government
questions of tho possible difference between the two countries. In his opin
ion the time is opportune to begin negotiations with Russia with tho view
to helping her people solve the problems concerning them, and to open up the
markets of Russia to American goods.
Senator France spent some months in Russia, during which time he made
careful study of conditions, and like most other men who have been there In
recent months, recognizes the possibility for the utilization of commodities
for which there is no market at present in this country. In the course of his
statement setting forth his Interest and his reason for advocating the ap
pointment of a commission to visit Russia, he says:
My interest in the rehabilitation of Europe has been prompted by my
Interest In the welfare of the farmers, of tho workers, and of the business
men of America. We are suffering hero an agricultural, Industrial, aiid fi
nancial depression which is wholly unnecessary and which la due to tho
fact that we are not able to sell our surplus foodstuffs and manufactured
articles to Europe. During the first 10 months of 1920 our exports were In
round numbers $6,800,000,000, while In the same period of 1921 they were ap
proximately $3,800,000,000.
I called attention to the fact that this sum of $3,000,000,000 would have
been more than sufficient to pay 4,000,000 men $70 a month for 10 months.
Our exports have fallen off while Europe requires our goods in quantities
perhaps as great as those required during fhe period of the war. Our farm
ers have on hand great supplies of wheat, corn, cotton and wool, while mil
lions of people In Europe face starvation ai.d disease or death from exposure
to the cruel blasts of winter unprotected by the proper clothing. Our shoe
factories are marking time while millions In Europe must walk the winter
snows unshod. Many of our machinists, cur steel workers, are idle. Our
tallroad equipment, factories, "all lines of Industry are running but a portion
of the time, while Russia needs machinery, steel products, railroad equip
ment, tools, and almost every conceivable manufactured aitlcle. America
should have an opportunity of supplying this need for her own Interest and
for the sake of humanity.
The policy of sending a commission to Russia is not a radical policy.
It is one conceived for the very purpose of looking after our trade interests,
as tho British, as the Italians, as the Germans, as the Chinese, and as other
countries are looking after theirs in Russia. We have been relying entirely
upon the information furnished us by other countries concerning Russia,
whereas undoubtedly those countries have been and are interested in keep
ing us alienated from the Russian people and separated from the great Rus
sian markets.
It is true that so long as this country relics upon information furnished
it by other nations for the determination of its trade policy it will remain In
the dark. The United States la as capable as any other nation of investi
gating conditions In Russia, and unless it sends its own representatives to
that country it is not likely to learn very much about it. The other nation*
will tell us just what they want us to know, which Is nothing.
CONSISTENCY.
IT seem extremely hard for states
men to be consistent nowadays.
Perhaps the fluctuating cur
rents of International affairs pre
clude it. At any rate the greatest
af the statesmen now actively on
the job, David Lloyd George, pre
mier of Great Britain, is the most
shining exemplar of inconsistency
that 'history can show. And what
has his inconsistency brought him?
Unparalleled success. Like Corpo
ral Trim’s hat, Lloyd George is here
today and gone tomorrow. Consis
tency may be a jewel, but its market
j value has slumped insofar as states
manship is concerned.
Therefore it is idle for critics of
Secretary Hughes to accuse hint of
being inconsistent. What of it? All
diplomats are doing it. It is true
that in relation to Mexico the Amer
ican secretary of state came out
strongly for the inviolability of ex
isting commitments. Why shouldn’t
he? Existing commitments in Mex
ico meant to Mr. Hughes land leases
acquired by Americans, and what
right did the sovereign state of Mex
ico have to interfere with those
leases?
It is also true that Mr. Hughes at
the Washington conference, in rela
tion to China, is insisting upon a re
view of the existing commitments.
And, again, why shouldn’t he? To
the secretary, existing commitments
in China mean concessions which
Japan and otV'.of foreign nations
have acquired by one means or an
other; and what is plainer than that
the sovereign state of China has an
inherent right to revise conditions
upon which she has granted conces
sions? The situation in China and
Mexico, one sees, is similar yet dif
ferent.
Consistency appears to be a vice
of little minds.
The marriage register at Neu Ulm,
Bavaria, has issued a decree that he
will not say the marriage ceremony
of any woman who cannot prove to
his satisfaction that she can cook
and keep house. A rule like that in
America would doom thousands to
single boredom.
It is now up to the Nebraska leg
islature to make good on promises of
reductions In expenses or take the
consequence.
One thing that holds up public in
terest in the Washington conference
is the uncertainty as to what the
Senate will do with the treaties.
Whether the farm conference
proves as barren of results as the
conference on unemployment djd,
depends upon the so-called "farm
bloc” in congress.
A Joplin, Mo., bellboy, from his
‘'tips" of the last 11 years has bought
a farm. He now intends to have his
farm cultivated, but wisely continues
on the job of answering bells.
Governors of South Dakota and
Iowa should not overlook the
action of Governor McKelvie's spe
cial session of the Nebraska legis
lature, which passed a revised ap
propriation bill carrying a tax re
duction tor the current year of near
ly *3,000,000.
Armour's Loss Due to By-Products.
From the Bache Review.
If one had otherwise knowledge
of what has been taking pli*ce In the
Industrial world during the last year. It
would he necessary only to read the
statement for the year ending October
29, 1921, issued by Armour & Co., In
order to obtain a graphic picture of gen
eral industry last year.
The volume of business for tha 12
months was $600,000,000—only 7 per cent,
smaller than the great year of 1920,
when the turnover due to higher prices
was $900,000,000. The net profits, how
ever, in 1920, $5,319,975, were turned last
year into a net loss of $31,709,817. This,
deducted from the surplus at the close
of the year 1920 ($80,711,494), left the
surplus at $63,454,697.
The statement to the stockholders by
the president of the company registered
the year just passed as the most disas
trous in the business history of the
company, ns well as in the packing In
dustry in general. Such a business, it
said, must carry many millions of
pounds of products in process of cure.
Price declines, therefore, mean losses,
* not only in sales but In inventory values
as well. The extent of these losses
can be visualized in price fluctuations of
live hogs, which fell from a 14 cents level
at the beginning of the year, to a 7 cent#
level at the end.
The Stay-At-Home.
The village knew her as a faithful wif*.
Low voiced and patient with her hus
band’s ways,
Busy through all the uneventful days
With small home duties that made r.f
her life.
She’d married young; a quiet, sober man
Not one to talk much; satisfied to sit
And smoke his pipe of evenings; drowse
a bit,
His slow thoughts on the little store he
ran.
The times were hard tne year they mar
ried, so
They took no wedding trip, but waited,
till
The years had somehow drifted by. and
still
It never seemed time to go.
So they lived together, he and she.
The children grew up, married, went
away.
Things went along from quiet day to day
Then she died suddenly.
And when they came to tidy up, they
found
Down in the bottom of her box of scraps
A child’s geography with colored maps,
A shell that made a curious murmuring
sound,
A steamship guide with pictures crude
and blurred
Of white ships sailing by a palm green
shore—
Java. Sumatra. Bangkok. Singapore—
A strange, bright feather from some for
eign bird;
A bit of paper daubed with gilt and rod
That once had wrapped a pound of Chi
nese tea;
A yellowed clipping: “How to Dress at
Sea”—
“What queer trash some folks keep
around!” they said.
—Marjorie C. Driscoll, in Pictorial R<*
view.
In regard to the consignment <
American arms to Abyssinia, to be
used in the slavery traffic, our state
department points out that Ameri
can manufacturers have a clear
"right” to ship arms and ammunition
to Abyssinia. A legal right, perhaps,
but not a moral right. Great Britain,
France and Italy signed an arms con
vention in 1919 by which they bound
themselves not to permit their na
tionals to supply arms to such na
tions, in accordance with the plans
for promotion of peace. "Up service"
is about all the aid America has give#
so far to peace efforts.

MAY REMODEL UNION JACK
Ireland’s New Position in British Em
pire Likely to Bring Change
in Famous Flag.
Among the lessor nnd more senti
mental sacrifices the British feel they
are making for Irish peace, there Is
the prospect of the changed Union
Jack.
The diagonal red cross In the Union
Jack stands for Ireland. The original
national (lag was the banner of St.
George, a plain red cross on a white
background. In 100C the Scottish flag,
white diagonal cross and a blue
oaekground, was blended with the
white upright cross, with a blue
background of the diagonal white cross
being added.
On the death of Charles 1 the cross
of St. George again became the na
tional tlug, but In 1700, after the
union with Scotland, the cross stand
ard with the blue background was
restored. In 1801 the red cross of St.
Patrick was superimposed on St. An
drew’s cross, making the present
Union Jack.

Why does any healthy person want to be
kicked into wakefulness in the morning?
I III
Many people feel that they
have to be agitated into wake
fulness in the morning. They
think that without the tea or
coffee they take in the morning
that they will not be able to
meet the tasks and duties of the
day.
Nothing could be more false
than this reasoning. Any doctor
can tell you this. For a healthy
body does not require a stim
ulant. It gets all the stimulant
it needs from food.
The thein and caffeine found
in tea and coffee are irritating to
the heart and nervous system.
They jolt the nerves into undue
activity. The result is a reac
tion. This is why regular tea
and coffee drinkers think they
must have their stimulant the
first thing in the morning to
wind them up for the day.
If you will stop using tea and
coffee for a week, and drink
Postum, the pure cereal bever
age instead, it will give Nature
an opportunity to rid the system
of the irritating substances that
harass your nerves, upset di
gestion, increase your heart
action, and make you nervous
and irritable.
Many people who have tried
Postum say that inside of a
week they wake in the morn
ing without that “all gone” feel
ing that they used to have, and
are full of energy, strength and
endurance.
Order Postum from your
grocer today, and make it ac
cording to directions. Your first
sip of Postum will surprise
and please you.
Postum comes in two forms: Instant
Postum (in tins) made instantly in the
cup by the addition of boiling water.
Postum Cereal (in packages of larger
bulk, for thetae who prefer to maka
the drink while the meal ia being pre
pared) made by boiling for 20 minutes.
