Owe Their Health To Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound overshadowing indeed is the success of this great medicine. Compared with it, all other medicines for women’s ills seem to be experiments. Why is it so successful ? Simply because of its sterling worth* For over forty years it has had no equal. Women for two generations have depended upon it with confidence. Thousands of Their Letters are on our files, which prove these statements to be facts, not mere boasting. Here Are Two Sample Letters:

Hundreds of Thousands of Families Found Health and Happiness by Follewlno His Instructions.

Six years ago H. H. Von Schllck rould be seen any clay visiting promltent Pittsburgh business men In their lowntown offices. lie carried a satcht), and Ills arrival was always greetfd by a smile indicating welcome. These men were his customers. They Irank at his “fountain of youth.” They iccredit him with anew lease of life nd the healthy condition of their families. Von Schllck has bright eyes and his Cheeks Indicate that pure red blood lows through his veins. He says he was younger at fifty than he was at thirty-five. He has never had a sick ipell or any of the symptoms of the illments which afflicted him before he began using a tea, the Ingredients of which were conveyed to him by an old Bulgarian 20 years ago. Von Schllck makes this statement: “I was recovering from the grippe, was run down, and a dizzy feeling In the head, and felt like the victim of the hook-worm. This old Bulgarian tnew of my sickness and while In the office suggested, ‘I give you Something to make you feel better.’ He returned next day with a package and told me to use one teaspoonful In a cup of hot water, and to repeat the dose once each night for a little while. He promised I would never be troubled from sickness again. I followed the prescription, skeptical, of course, and one day later I was seeking that old man to secure from him the Ingredients of that tonic. ONE HUNDRED YEARS YOUNG. “He explained to me that In Bulgaria the older families regarded this tonic as the great disease preventative and health restorer; that It was handed down from generation to generation. At the first symptom of any sickness the mother or women of the family made the tea for all members. Tt Is a well-known fact that Bulgarians are the oldest and healthiest people In the world. “In Bulgaria and the Balkan countries of Eastern Europe, in spite of poor sanitary conditions, among 1,000,000 inhabitants there are 1,600 over 100 years old. In France there Is only one person In 1,000.000 over 100 years old, and In Germany only one person 1.150,000. It Is a rare news Item In the United States when t man dies after reaching the century mark. “My Bulgarian friend Informed me that his progenitors reached this time of life and that they all had a healthy and happy old age.

Naughty Fido. Hortense had taken Fldo to a party where several other doggies had been invited. Upon returning home mother asked how she had enjoyed the party. “Oh, pretty well,” she answered, “but I was dreadfully ashamed of Fldo. He kept on barking and harking, and wouldn’t give any of the other doggies a chance to say a word!” Plain, unvarnished truth Is better than questionable rhetoric.

ANTWERP: A LATTER-DAY ATHENS Antwerp, where the United Stntes athletes performed so notably In the ,1020 Olympic games, was Europe’s Hamburg of the sixteenth century and the Athens of the seventeenth. This city compels American admiration by Its phenomenal power to "come back.” Crushed by wars, Inquisitions, economic bans and persecutions of Its people, Antwerp always has.risen again. Figures tell the story. Population in 1568, 125,000; twenty yeurs later, only 55,000. From 1800 to 1850 the population almost doubled. To its 290,000 In 1904, a hundred thousand more were added before the Germans came In October, 1914. The 12,160 vessels that passed In and out of Its fine harbor In 1905 marked x_i Increase of more than 50 per cent since 1888. Not that Antwerp is a perennial boom town. It Is at least 15 centuries old. And during that time Its story Is one of struggle against repeated tragedies. When the Germans Invaded the city Its noble cathedral tower looked down on Just one more, though infinitely more cruel, blow of the sort It had been receiving since the middle ages. ‘ Napoleon (some say Charles V) compared this tower to Mechlin lace. Its delicate chiseling forms a network of stone embroidery against the sky that can be seen from the surrounding flat country, and from the winding Scheldt, long before,any other building In Antwerp Is visible. By 1600, five hundred ships often came and went from Antwerp's harbor In a day and two thousand wagonloads of merchandise usually entered Its gates. A thousand foreign business houses were represented there. Its own merchant princes dwelt in almost regal splendor. " * Amid this material wealth noble works of art were created. In the city’s museum were specimens of. its glorious school—paintings by Van Dyck, the Teniers, Memling, Mnssys Jordaens, Jan van Eyck and Rubens, though the last named was better represented in the cathedral by his masterpiece, “The Descent From the Cross,” and two other noted works. In the Museo Plantin were relics of that Elbert Hubbard of the middle' ages, Christophe I’lnntin, whose press product was no less distinctive when heretic pamphlets were struck off thaa when devout religious works were printed and embossed./ • During the religious disturbances of the mid-sixteenth century the cathedral, then considered second only to St. Peter’s at Rome, was pillaged by the Iconoclasts. Its images and pictures, its magnificent vases, its 60 altars and its greaf organ, considered the finest of its time, were burned or broken by .the torch-bearing vandals. Whitewashed walls reminded twen-tieth-century tourists of these depredations. Other churches were ravaged at that time. But what Antwerp suffered then was mild compared to the horrors of “the Spanish Fury” in 1570, when that latter -Jay Nero, the duke of Alva, and his Council of Y?lood, began a reign of terror which savagery scarcely ccmld surpass. Tying wealthy -citizens to horses’ tails, he would drag them miles to “trial.” Antwerp suffered grievously from this debauch of hangings, quarterings, beheadings and butcheries. In three days 8,000 of her men, women and children were slain, burned or drowned ; hundreds of the fine marble homes destroyed, and the equivalent of millions of dollars worth of property wrecked. It was seven years later that the doughty citizens of Antwerp made short shrift of the duke of Anjou’s plotting against Flemish liberty. When the duke and his men overcame the Flemish guard of a drawbridge,.and 8,000 of the duke's troops rushed In to take the city, workmen fought furiously with their oven shovels, and citizens grabbed arquebuses and chewed coins into 6hape to load them.FINLAND: WHERE WOMEN WON VOTE BY HELPING SETTLE A STRIKE Victory for woman suffrage in the United Stntes adds interest to the experiences of Finland, where women won the franchise by their part In quieting labor troubles similar to those which now assail the United States. Incidentally, Finland was one of the first portions of the old Russian empire to set up a constitutional governntent The advent and progress of suffrage in Finland is described in a communication to the National Geographic society by Baroness Aletta Korff as follows : “From an educational point of view the women of Finland have been very fortunate, as there are many excellent schools for rirls and a number of coeducational Tschools throughout the country which prepare students for the university examinations. Girls were admitted to the university In 1878, and, until the war intervened,

BIBLE CENTURIES OLD

The Cottonian library In England owns an old manuscript copy of a part of the Bible In Latin. This Bible, It Is said, was used at the coronations of English sovereigns 300 years before the “stone of destiny” was brought from Scone to Westminster by Edward lln 1296. If this be true, then the use of this Bible for the purpose dates back to the year 1000. It la a quarto of 217 loaves, containing

In which' they were on a footing of perfect equality with the meiu and frequently,were elected to various official positions. After they •were graduated from one of the several high schools or from the university, there were many branches of work open to them. “Having thus such an excellent foundation to build upon, it is small wonder that the woman's movement soon found many active supporters. In 1803 the diet had accorded the municipal vote to women taxpayers living In the country, and In 1872 to women, living In the towns, all. of wtiqm were also given the right to he elected members of certain local self-governing bodies. In 1900 the women social democrats Included the suffrage in their program, but the special activity for the suffrage began only In the year 1004, although in 1897 a petition had been officially presented to the diet at the request of the ‘Finnish Woman’s association.’ “The reason why so little was done In direct furtherance of the cause'of woman suffrage between the years 1897 and 1904 is that just at that time Finland was passing through a severe political crisis. “After the outbreak of tire October revolution in Russia (1905), a sympathetic strike was declared in Finland and several of the members of the central committee elected by a massmeeting to manage the details of the strike were women. “The first action taken by the committee was to close all the liquor shops, saloons and barrooms, and to organize a volunteer police" forge, to keep order. After the second day the markets were reopened and the strikers were not allowed to cut off the water supply. In short, the strike was managed In a most orderly and systematic way, and no outrages of any sort were committed.” FUTURE OF SYRIA AFFECTS CIVILIZED WORLD More and more frequently the spotlight swings to Syria, The Syrians declared tlielr country independent, and chose Prince Feisal as king. Feisal reigned a few days. The French set up a temporary government, and now Feisal seeks restoration. Syria's future concerns the entire world, for it is coming into Its own as a result of new railways which make It once more a link land In history’s chain. Explaining the significance of recent events, a communication by Maynard Owen Williams says: “Syria closes the east end of the Mediterranean and Is hounded on the lorth by the Taurus mountains. The

Peter the Great once established * protectorate over the Rumanians nn< Catherine the Great later advanced a plan for the annexation of their territory to Russia. Fearing that such territorial expansion might he a menace to her, Austria persuaded Cathee Ine to abandon that plan. Rumania, as we now know it, wa/ formed from Moldavia and Wallnchls In 1861. Previously these principall ties had been under Turkish suzer alnty, following Austria's protest agalst Russia annexing' them. Autonomy being guaranteed by the powers which agreed to the union of the principalities, following the Crimean war, Rumanians chose an army offieer Col. Alexander Curza, as their ruler ITls title was Alexander John I, princt of Rumania. When, seven years later, the element in power at Bucharest decided for a change of rulers there were few for tnalltles. Invading the prince’s bedroom by night, leaders of the group presented a certificate of abdication tc be,signed, and then bundled him in carriage and put him aboard an ex press for Paris. count of Flanders, brother ti King Leopold of Belgium, was chosen by a provisional government. Th powers, especially. Austria, protested, and Prince Charles (Carol), who had been an officer In the Prussian army, was substituted. He set about free Ing the country from the suzerainty of Turkey. When the Russo-Turkish storm clouds arose In 1875. Charles sought to have the powers guarantee the neutrality of Rumania. He failed. Then an agreement was reached with Russia Under Its terms Russian soldiers wer< to have free passage through Ru mania, while Russia was to respect tht rights and defend the Integrity of Ru mania. , ' When the war began Rnmanis promptly declared herself independent of Turkey. As the war went on Russia needed help badly and finally Ru mania responded to repeated appeals Under Prince Caro), Rumanian and allied troops gained a decisive but costly victory before Plevna. Rumanlar freedom was recognized In the treaty of San Stefano. and it furthermore was stipulated that Rumania was tc get the swampy country known a/ Dobrudja, lying between the Danube, where it flows to the north, and the Black sea. Russia was tc; have Bess arnbia, territory claimed by Rumania .and in part occupied by her. Rumania protested bitterly 'against exchange of picturesque Bessarabia for the ugly Dobrudja region. Russia threatened to disarm the Rumanian army, and Prince Carol pluckily re sponded that his army might be rte stroyed but It never would be dis armed. The Russo-Turkish treaty of San Stefano was overturned by the congress of Berlin, but Russia's aim in Ressarabia was not denied, Thus Rumania, after helping Russia In hei plight, came out of the war with less, than she had when she went in. CANADA MAY ADOPT AN ESKIMO INDUSTRY Conversion .of the arctic and sub arctic regions of Canada into a rein deer meat producing nrea Is being con sldered by the Canadian government nnd Is being widely discussed through out the dominion. A communication to the National Geographic -society recalls that reindeer were not indigenous to Alaska and tells the Interesting story of theii introduction there. • “The story of the lriception and growth of the reindeer enterprise In Alaska Is very Interesting and Is no! generally known,” says the writer “During an extended trip of Inspection of the missionary stations and government schools In 1890, Dr. Sheldon Jackson, then general agent of education in Alaska, was Impressed wltt the fact that the natives in arctic and subarctic Alaska were rapidly losing their sources of food supply. "Doctor Jackson saw that unlesi something was done at once the United Stntes would have to choose between feeding the 20,000'and more natives or letting them starve to death “The same - moss which covered sc many thousands of miles, of the plain; of nrctlc Siberia was seen everywhere in Alaska.
