children are denied that happiness because of some functional
derangement which may be corrected by proper treatment
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is just the medicine
for these conditions, as the following letters show:
hicago, 111. "You surely gave wo
men one pood, medicine when1 you
put Lydia . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound-
on the market. After I had my
baby I was all run down and so nervous
it kept me from gaining. My doctor
did everything he could to build me up,
then He ordered me to take Lydia K.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound with his
medicine and I am now a new woman.
I have had three children snd they are
all Lydia E. Pinkham babies. I have
recommended your medicine to several
friends and they speak highly of it.

Through the Travelers' Aid de
partment of the Young Woman's
Christian association aid was given
during the past three months to
2i persons, of whom S60 were
hirls, 240 were children. 700 were
women. 850 were women and chil
dren, 0 were sick, 130 were elderly
and 150 were foreign. Forty-five
people were taken to their des'.lna
tKns. there were 100 telephone and
te'eeranh messages. 12 runaways
were returned, 60 letters were writ
ten and 26 foreign girls, most of
. horn had come hers to marry, were
visited.
"The visiting of the little foreign
brides is one of the most Interesting
phases of the work." said Mrs.
Sophia L. Allen, secretary of the de
partment. "We receive dally from
the Immigration offices In New
York, the name of every girl com
ing to Portland, with some descrip
tion of her and giving her Tortland
address. We look her up and report
back.
"The new Inter-city plan recently
adopted by the committee is helping
us to round out our work very
satisfactorily. There has been com
piled a list of 81 correspondents n
49 towns of 27 counties of the state,
and now when a girl, child or eiderly
person Is going to one of these towns
we call our correspondent there snd
have them met and cared for at that
end of the line. Miss Hays, the field
secretary of the Clrtld Welfare com
mission, is explslning the plan as
she travels throughout the state
and is giving valuable assistance In
that way. The national society has
asked us for this llt and ws have
forwarded it-and it is now being
printed In the Travelers' Aid direc
tory in New York. Miss Eleanor
Kimble of the Public Welfare bureau
headed the committee securing these
correspondents.
"The work at the Union station la
cn a good basis. The matrons are
willing for us to handle most of the
welfare work and trainmen fre
quently ask our help, particularly In
case of any young girl whose actions
on the train have aroused their sus
picion. The Indian girls from Che
mawa. who were working In town
during the summer, were a prob
lem. One or two who persisted In
spending their afternoons off at the
station, were reported to us and re
turned to Chemawa. At the auto
stage depot three runaway boys, 12,
13 and 14 years of age, were re
turned to their homes. Two girls, 16
and 17 years of age, who had come
to town for a 'good time,' were re
turned to their homes. A Jewish
family of eight was taken to its des
tination; a father was assisted In his
search for his 17-year-old daughter.
These are but a few of the Interest
ing and varied cases that came un
der our observation."
Mrs. Allen Is assisted In the work
by Mrs. Samuel Connell and Miss
H. L. Turner. Mrs. J. W. Fowler Is
chairman of the committee and the
other members are representatives
