Women Doing Men's Work "n One of th most striking results of the rreat war in Kurope, is the extent to which women are doing the work of men. Traveller to England and France report that practically every able-bodied n-an is in uniform and women by the thousands are engaged in doinif men's work acting as conductors and drivers on the cars and doing all sorts of heavy work besides. This show unexpected possibilities in what has been mistakenly called the weaker sex. Women are subject to ailments which men do not have, and when so ailing become weak, helpless sufferers. But a remedy has been foand. For forty years, I.ydia E. Vinkham's Vegetable Compound has been making nuch women well and strong, and as able to do work as any other women. Adv.

Wrecking the Record."

It was an exotic, vibrant. snc6pard masterpiece entitled. "The Livery Stable Blues." As played on the Sonora in the Perrin & Sommer biiliard parlor at 100 State street by a Jazz band it inspired the greatest enthusiasm. In fact the patrons would have no other selection and it was "The I.ivery Stable Blues" from morning until night. The strain b"gan to show on George Sommer. one of the proprietors. He estimated that at the rate of ten times an hour he heard the thing a hundred times a day. seven hundred time3 a week, and it ran in his tired brain the remainder of the time. But the patrons would have nothing else. They came from near and far to hear the Jazz ba.nd render "The Livery Stable Blues." They did the step. duck, slide and stoop dance as they glided about the tables. Sommer hw a nerve specialist. The next day' the music ceased. The customers indignantly demanded to know the reason. Out in the alley the shattered pieces of a perfectly good record lay on the ground. Sommer started the Sonora. The plaintive, melody of William Tell came forth between the lattice doors of the machine. "This place." Sommer announced, "has gone In for the classics. The Jazz stuff is junked."
