WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1922. This Letter Will Tell You How Cumberland, Md.—“My mother gave mo Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound when I was between thirteen and fourteen years old and was going to school, because I suffered with pains and could not rest. I did not have any more trouble after that until [ was married, then I always was troubled in my back while carrying a child and could not do my work until I took the Vegetable Compound again. I am strong, do all my washing and ironing and work for seven children and feei fine. I always have an easy time at childbirth and what it did for me it will do for other women. I am willing to answer any woman if she wishes to write asking what it did for me.”—Mrs, Joun Herre, 53 Dilley St., Cumberland, Md. young and old, and from almost every walk of life. "These letters testify to the merit of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Mrs. Heier has a large family, and works very hard for them. But an ‘woman is willing to work hard and to work long hours if her heal is and she is able to get the results she is working for. As she says, what the Vegetable Compound did for her it will do for other women, and every one should genes her offer to answer letters asking sbout the Vegetable Compound. The Vegetable Compound contains no narcotics or harmful drugs, and can be taken in safety by any woman. Your livelihood may depend on your health. So try Lydia E. Pinkham’ Vegetable Cormpoun LYDIA 6.

B. WILSON, The Municipal Fish Market Why Is it that the city purchases daily 1,000 pounds of fish from a certain Turkish Greek wholesaler for the myinietpal stall, where only about 400 pounds are retailed daily on ac: count of the inefficiency of the clerks, and the balance, 600 pounds, dumped as garbage dally?
