WHY WOMEN WRITE LETTERS To Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. Women who are well often ask "Are the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. are continually publishing, genuine?” ‘‘Are they truthful?” " Why do w’omen write such letters? ” In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name, i Never, knowingly, have we published : an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such ; grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pinkj ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has brought i health and happiness into their lives, I once burdened with pain and suffering. It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis--1 placements, inflammation, ulceration, i irregularities, nervousness, weakness, | stomach troubles and from the blues.

From My Narrow Little Window By THE HOOSIER OBSERVER CELLULOID COLLARS OR “I” SAY.

Abe Martin says: “If ther’s anything that'll give a feller away quicker’n a celluloid collar, it’s his opinions on big questions.” » « • * Uh-Huh. I quite agree with him, but nevertheless clap my hands with pleasure over the fact that more and more we—and the magazines and everybody else —are getting away from the old fogy idea that it is "egotistical” to talk or write about what "I” think. You will find that present-day writing—it may be a long way from literature in one sense—is giving real personal experience or observation In the first person. And how much more convincing and true to life it is, with its message that rings true beause the writer has really observed it. or experienced it and has not taken it from “they” said or so and so wrote so. • * • * How many, many times have I sat ind listened to a public speaker apologize for giving a little personal experience or observation, when in fact it was really the most original, and therefore the most convincing thing he said in the whole speech. The remainder, in many cases may have been cut and dried, the opinion of some one else: it may have been the -peaker’s own opinion, clothed in the borrowed garment of some one else, ashamed or afraid to come out in its own poor little coat. But that little bit of personal experience, for which he apologizes, is the real life, the quintessence of conviction for me. When I hear a speaker begin to apologize for personal experience I sit up and begin to rub my sleepy eyes to get awake for something worth while. And I feel like walking out and tweaking his ear for apologizing. That poor, much abused celluloid collar! Why it should be so abused, 1 can't comprehend. But then I am no authority on men or men’s clothes —I judge chiefly by how they act. not what they wear, unless it be a beard of the Justice Hughes type! And I am too prejudiced to “judge” in that case. In fact. I am inclined to think the riducule of a celluloid collar may have originated from jealous laundrymen or envious, jealous haberdashers, who see their profits dwindle thereby. For why should a celluloid collar be a social crime, if a man needs to be economical? It can and is kept clean with little trouble, and that is more than may be said of the linen collars. Even the social crime of pretense, that which is associated witli wearing paste diamonds or near-seal. which is called social "vulgarity,” in trying to appear what is not, cannot surely be applied to a celluloid collar. Its cheerful shine strips it completely of pretense and _ i NOTICE OF DITCH LETTING. Notice Is hereby given that the trustee of Harrison township.

is patent to the naked eye. Everyone knows it is celluloid. It courageously stands on Jis own merits. ♦ » ♦ ♦ That is also why I like a speaker or writer who bravely says “I" say. He stands on his own merits. Like the celluloid collar, he may give himself dead away but the little he says is convincing. It is above pretense. You know it is real and he is ready to back it up. ♦ ♦ * ♦ Somehow that old editorial “we;” the “they say,” or the talking behind somebody else, eternally quoting others and never giving his own expression, seems like rank cowardice. They want to tell what they think, but they want somebody else to share the blame. They really are telling what they think, but are doing so in the same spirit that a thief whars another man's coat —while he is doing the job—to shift suspicion until he finds out what will happen when the sheep is missed. * » » * If one can’t express what he sees or experiences he certainly is not capable of expressing what others experience. A man who apes and quotes others eternally Is like a dirty linen collar. He is pretending that he can afford linens when he should have a celluloid —and keep it clean. If you only know about carrots and cabbagesand such, why, express yourself about carrots and cabbages, but say: “I” say. Don’t try to tell somebody else’s opinions about kings and queens and dukes. They may have gotten them wrong, too. It is not always safe to do in Rome as the Romans do, or even to do as your table companion does. He may not know any more about which is the correct knife on which to convey the pie to his hunry mouth, or with which fork to spear the slippery olive, than you! Stick to the celluloid, if you can’t afford clean linens and don’t be ashamed of it! Nor don’t pretend to be too modest to express yourself on your own merits. It may be cowardice instead of modesty. * * » * The “I” say is the best educator there is. It cultivates the power of original research, observation, expression and initiative. When you need stimulus, get out Emerson’s essay on "Self Reliance;” read what he says about expressing yourself, that what is true for you is true for all mankind, and then get out and dig so that you can say “I say” instead of “we, you or they say.” kj'&'-vJL. xJLit /«■ U • 7 cines and is a story of absorbing heart interest and tremendous dramatic power. Mr. Blackwell appears in the part of the young newspaper editor who fulfills his resolve to print nothing but the truth to the point of exposing nis father’s fraudulent practices and estranging himself from the girl he loves. The great climax comes when a mob of thousands of infuriated foreigners swarms down upon the newspaper office and blows it to pieces with a bomb. This scene alone is enough to put the the picture in the list of the best pictures of the year. More Common Sense Needed. Before our children draw their first breath we start closing in upon them with every kind of theory. Theories to the right of them, theories td the left of them, they are often victims, as really as were the immortal Six Hundred to the fact that “Someone has blundered.” In taking our children conscientiously, why must we let our idea of duty ride roughshod over common sense? —Atlantic Monthly.
