LONGING FOR A CHILD Yoqng Wife Almost in Despair. Now has Beautiful Baby Girl.

There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has brought joy to many childless women by restoring them to normal health. Here is a notable case. Omaha, Neb.—“l suffered from female troubles when I was seventeen

q years old. At eighteen I was married and my trouble was no better so I consulted a physician , who said that there was not much I ■ could do and I could I not have children. I I read of Lydia E. I Pinkham’s Vege- | table Compound and I decided to try it, and it has proved

i I raw

worth its weight in gold to me for I am not only well but have a baby girl, so when I hear of any woman suffering as I was I tell her of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.’’—Mrs. W. Hughes, 19 Majestic Apts.,Omaha,Neb. In many other homes, once childless, there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. Pirkham’s Vegetabl Compound makes women normal, healthy and strong.

SKIDDING is the greatest danger of motoring. When life and limb, to say nothing of dollars, are in jeopardy, it is wjl mighty satisfying to know you fIUL a can trust your tires. Tires with so-called anti-skid projections serve well enough for S,MWi O j rough and heavy roads. But on | B smooth, “oozy” pavements they will skid, as even the casual observer knows. S <-,11 And they don’t last. J S * S Chains ruin even the best of R® tires. h ■ j J Carspring Anti-Skid Tires are B■ | skidless. They need neither |I ' j chains nor projections. The de- I presions in the sides force a ■B j “drag” on all side motion. all' ~ The cups at the apex of the tread form a vacuum, which is au- a ■ ; tomatically released by the raised ft M centers as the tire revolves. Thus B ® a leech-like grip is obtained with- d W * out loss of power or momentum. yk 7 Furthermore, the raised centers prevent mud from clogging the wfIEK cups. Their fullest efficiency is Wgogainsured at all times. Carspring Anti-Skid Tires are appropriately called Double-Life Tires. When the skid-preventing tread eventually wears away, there remains a thickness equal to that of a regular plain-tread tire. The advantage is obvious. If you want to get away trom a great deal of your tire trouble, use Carspring Tires. We have the tire in stock for your car regardless of the size. Go. tVE JAVE TTOV
