WHY WOMEN
WHITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi
cine Co.
< •
* *
By P. A. M1TCHEL
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 women write Buch letters? ”
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of tile woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relieved women from some of
the worst formB of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation, ulceration,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
It is impossible for any woman who
is well and who
has never suffered
to realize how these
poor, suffering wo
men feel when re
stored to health;
their keen desire to
lelp other women
vho are suffering as
hey did.

A Drama of Mexico
Ever since tl^e revolution In Mexico
that deposed Porflrlo Diaz that coun
try has been In a state of ferment and
bas kept the people of the United States
In a fever of anxiety. During the rule
of President Huerta I, being of an
Inquiring disposition, concluded to go
down there and Bee for myself what
kind of people the Mexicans are.
Passing over the border line, of Tex
as, I entered rurnl Mexico and moved
on southward, intending to visit the
capital. There were then the Huerta,
the Carranza and the Villa factions, all
struggling for the upper hand. The
frightful condition of the country did
not prevent the people from enjoying
such amusements as they could get i
stopped one evening for the night In a
little, cluster of houses—it could not
be dignified by the name of town—and,
hearing that a dnnce was to be given
In the dining room of the tavern
where I put up, I was curious to see
how people could mnke merry while
their country was in a state of anarchy.
When the dancing began I took a
chair on the veranda where I could
look through an open window upon the
dancers. The effect was heightened by
the picturesque costumes of both the
men and the women. The merrymak
ers came from the country round about,
being made up.of nil sorts of persons,
from the hacendado, or farmer, to the
soldier, who made his living by fight
ing for some one of the factions strug
gling for the supremacy. Not only was
the soldier present, but his wife and
his daughters, for an army In Mexico
is accompanied by the families of the
soldiers.
I was much interested in watching
these people. Among the better grade
I noticed a young couple, who, it was
evident, were lovers. The man was a
handsome fellow dressed in the cos
tume ' of a hacendado, composed «of
tight trousers with a row of buttons
on each leg, where a soldier’s stripe Is
usually placed; a fancy waistcoat and
a short jacket, also having a profusion
of buttons. The girl wore the Mexi
can skirt of many colors, the Mexican
bodice and the jacket decorated with
gold braid.
I could not help contrasting the hap
piness beaming in the faces of these
two young people with the cloud that
hung over their country. They danced
every dance together. While I was
watching them a man came up behind
me, and I felt that he was looking
over my shoulder. I moved aside not
to obstruct his view and at the same
time turned my head to have a look at
him.
I judged that he was connected with
one of the various armies or hands
which were sucking the lifeblood of
Mexico. A more villainous face I nev
er saw on a man. His eyes were fol
lowing the couple that interested me,
and as he watched his frown deep
ened. He stood only a few minutes
looking at them, then went away.
At the end of each dance a number
of the dancers came out on to the ve
randa to be refreshed by the cooler air
outside. During one of these inter
vals a sharp report suddenly sounded
at the other end of the veranda. I saw
those who were inside Btart for the
exit nearest to the point from which
the sound came, and those on the
veranda turned and hurried in that
direction. I, too, arose and went to see
what had happened.
A crowd had gathered about some
thing or some one, but I could not see
beyond the onlookers. When finally I
succeeded in, doing so I saw lying on
the floor the young man I had been
observing within, while the girl with
whom he had danced was kneeling be
side him moaning piteously. He had
been shot and was dying.
Within half an hour the dance had
been resujnpd, and, judging by the gay-
ety, one would not have suspected that
the life of one of the company had. been
just snuffed out. I turned away from
the scene, went as far from it as I
could and waited for the house to be
come quiet that I might go to bed.
I did not get away from the place
the next day. I had come to Mexico
from curiosity, and I did not like to
move on without learning more of the
tragedy a part of whidh I had wit
nessed. I inquired who had done the
shooting and was informed that a
man who belonged to a Villa force, In
the neighborhood was the culprit. The
young farmer who was killed was an
advocate of Hnerta. This is all the
information I could elicit, hut I In
ferred'much more.' I believed that the
murderer coveted the ,gfrl who had
given her heart to the farmer.
I lounged at the tavern during the
day, uncertain as to just when I would
move on southward. During the after
noon, while strolling antong the houses
that composed the,place, I mettheinpn,
who had looked in at the window at
the dancers. I knew him to be the
murderer and was surprised to see
him stiii near the scene^f bis coward
ly act But I was destined to still
further surprise. I skw him approach
a house and walk up and down under
a window.
They have a custom in Mexico called
“playing the bear.” When a mao
wishes to court a girl he takes posi
tion under her window and walks back
and forth till either he gets a.sign from
her or gives up his attempt to win her.
If be receives encouragement he pro
ceeds step by step till bo forms her
acquaintance and makes formal appli
cation for' her hand.
1 had read of this custom, but had
never seen an instance of It 1 sur
mised that the mun might be wooing
according to the Mexican custom. I
could see him from the tavern veran
da, and', going there. I took n Rent in
order to observe what would follow.
While doing so the landlord came out
on to the veranda, and, pointing, to the
walking mun, I asked him what he
tvns doing.
“He is the mnn who shot the hncen-
dado last night. The girl who was
robbed of her sweetheart llveB there.
The mnn is probably trying to see her
and ask ’her forgiveness."
An hour had passed from the time 1
had first seen the man walking under
the window when a figure of n woman
appenred within the house. The walk-
er stopped, nud 1 saw that he was
speaking. The woman came to the
window, and, the sunlight falling upon
her, I recognized the young girl who
had been robbed of her lover. I won
dered if the murderer could obtnin for
giveness so soon after the tragedy.
The two talked together for some
time; then the than hold his hand up
to the window. After some delay the
girt took it. but I fancied I could see
her shudder. A few more words be
tween them and the man went away.
He passed the veranda near where I
sat, und I saw nu unmistakable look
of triumph on his face.
Interested in the drama which was
being enacted before me, I determined
to remain where I was till the Inst act
had been played. I wondered if the
girl, actuated by religious motives, had
felt constrained to forgive the slayer
of her lover. Had it not been for thd
triumphant look on the man’s face as
he passed me I would not have dream
ed of anything more than this. But I
had discovered that the Mexicans are
a'strange people, and one cannot in
any event tell what n woman Is going
to do. Was It possible that this man,
like. King Richard III., would win her
whose lover he had slain?
I had seen no sign of a burial of the
first love and did not think it possible
that the girl could take another until
the body had been laid away. What,
then, was my surprise when just before
dark I saw the murderer approach the
house where the bereaved girl lived
and stand under her window! Present
ly she came out of the door, joined
him, and they walked away together.
I confess that, though by this time 1
was prepared for almost anything in
Mexico, I could not believe what my
eyes revealed to me. I wished that I
might follow the couple and see what
occurred between them, though I shrank
from witnessing a girl throwing her
self into the arms of a man who had
only the night before shot down In cold
blood the man she loved.
I lit a cigar and sat smoking on the
veranda. The twilight faded; the stars
came out. All about me was so peace
ful that I could not realize 1 was in
a country tom with anarchy and a
Said the Critic,
Give us TRACTION,
great part of it in the hands of robber
bands; that within twenty-four hours
I had witnessed an instance of the
desperate condition of the country. But
my mind was ever on the couple I had
seen go out into the darkness,
thought of the lover of the evening be
fore. a smile on his handsome lips re
turned by one on those of the girl he
loved, now lying cold in death in one
of the houses within the range of my
vision, while the girl he loved had gone
with his murderer.
It was quite dark, 9 o’clock perhaps,
when, tired of sitting, I arose to stretch
my legij. I walked down a roadway
on which the two persons I had been
watching had disappeared. Suddenly
a figure, a woman’s figure, flitted by
me. She was moving rapidly, and
got a glimpse only of something white.
And yet I was impressed with the idea
that it was the girl who had lost her
lover. If so, where was the man with
whom she had set out?
Believing that nothing more of the
drama which was unfolding would be
revealed to me that night, I returned
to the tavern and went "to bed.
In the morning everything about me
was still peaceful. The inhabitants of
the place went about their dally vo
cations as usual. If there was war in
the neighborhood it was too far dis
tant to be heard. Still I refrained
from leaving the place without more
Information as to what Interested me.
I determined to remain where I; was''
until the climax.
In the 1 afternoon occurred a simple
funeral of the murdered man. The
chief mourner was the girl who had'
been bereaved. The murderer was not
in evidence at any time during the day.
The poor girl was supported by her
mother and attended by n few friends.
I went into the tavern and asked .the
landlord what had become of the sol
dier.
“He was found this morning, not far
from here, stabbed to the heart,” was
the reply.
“Who killed him?” I asked.
The landlord shrugged his shoulders
and said that this was not known.
The climax to my drama had been
played. Whether any one knew who
bad killed the soldier I do not know to
this day. One. thing I know.' I saw
him go out into the darkness With . the
girl whose life be had blighted, and If
saw her come back without him.
The curtain had fallen; the audience
—myself—had seen the play. There
was nothing more for me but to move
on. The death of a man shot down in
the Interval between two dances h^fl
not ruffled the tranquillity of the ham
let, nor had the finding of the body of
hjs murderer twenty-four hours later
any noticeable effect. What were these
two lives in a land where bloodshed- is
the order of the day?
My curiosity ns to Mexico bad been
satisfied. Instead of going on down
to the capita] 1 turned about and Jour
neyed back toward home.

GOODRICH
The “Silvertown” Tire, you know, gains its marvel
lous Speed (and the Coasting qualities that demonstrate its
Speed) primarily through liaving only TWO layers of
Cords, laid transversely.
Of course, these TWO layers bend more readily than
Five, Six, or Seven Layers of Fabric do (or of Cord would).
But, we found it necessary, in order to conserve that
flexibility (in the Two-cord construction), to put a Rubber
Tread over it which was equally flexible, —equally strong,—
and elaslio enough to act as a sort of spring between the
Earth and the Tire-ca3ing, when Brakes were thrown on
at stopping, or clutch thrown in at starting.
So, we had to devise practically a new kind of Rubber,
for this purpose, TWO YEARS AGO.
And this new kind of Rubber Compound now does for
GOODRICH Tires a work paralleling that done by the
wonderful Alloys of Steel and Bronze in modem Motor Car
construction.
It multiplies Rubber Efficiency, for Tire purposes,
while decreasing its Weight, and without increasing its
Bulk, or its Cost to you,
♦ ♦ ♦
AS we cannot yet supply half the demand for
“Silvertown Cord Tires” (until enough manu-
J- JL facturing equipment can be constructed) we
compromise with the Public by giving them, without addi
tional charge, the highly efficient black Silvertown Rubber
in all Goodrich FABRIC Tires for 1916.
This makes GOODRICH Fabric Tires the most Re
silient and Responsive-torPower,—the most Long-Lived
and Lively, of all FABRIC Tires, at ANY price,—without
increasing their relative price to you.
We call this new Silvertown Tread Compound by the
name and brand of “Barefoot Rubber.”
Because, it CLINGS to the pavement for the same
sort of reason that your bare foot clings to a slippery floor,
while being flexible, stretchy, springy, and light.
TENACIOUS, resilient, enduring, this “Barefoot Rub
ber” you today get in all black-tread Goodrich Fabric
Tires, — Goodrich Motor-Cycle Tires, — Goodrich Track
Tires,—Goodrich Bicycle Tires,—Goodrich Rubber Boots,
Overshoes, Soles and Heels, and in none but GOODRICH
products.
Test out a pair of these moderately priced blaclc-tread
FABRIC Tires and see what results from the mixing of
BRAINS with Rubber.
