Her idea is that women should ask for the ballot on much broader grounds. On this subject she writes in part: “So it behooves us to go slowly with our bragging of what we have done and our promising of what we will do with our votes, and to turn the attention of our audiences to the fact that we are asking for the vote just because we are people, units in the community, and as such, must be counted in when the affairs of the community are arranged.” — u IRENE FRANCES ROHYANS PIANO TEACHER Studio Room 11—Peoples Loan and Trust Co.

MRS. LYON’S ACHES AND PAINS Have All Gone Since Taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Terre Hill, Pa.—“ Kindly permit me to give you my testimonial in favor of Lydia E. Pinkham s i Vegetable Com- ' pound. When 1 first began taking it 1 ' was from f ema *° troubles for •' ■! —jfei some time and had ~ almost all kinds of aches—pains in low- / ' er part of back and .V— _ in sides, and pressW| IP IKY ing down pains. I ■„ i I Illi I—l could not sleep and had no appetite. Since 1 have taken Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound the aches and pains are all gone and I feel like a new woman'. I cannot praise your medicine too highly. ’ ’—Mrs. Augustus Lyon, Terre Hill, Pa. It is true that nature and a woman’s work has produced the grandest remedy for woman’s ills that the world has ever known. From the roots and herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham, forty years ago, gave to womankind a remedy for their peculiar ills which has proved more efficacious than any other combination of drugs ever compounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is recognized from coast to coast as the standard remedy for woman’s ills. In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., are files containing hundreds of thousands of letters from women seeking health—many of them openly state over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound; and in some cases that it has saved them from surgical operations.

IF KIDNEYS ACI BAD TAKE SALTS Says Backache is a sign you have been eating too much meat, which forms uric acid. When you Wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forma uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body’s urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. Thia famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in th** urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia-water drink. Democrat Want Ads Pay.
