THE IDEAL WOMAN The great Napoleon once said: "My ideal woman is not the beauti ful-featured society belle, whose physician tries in vain to keep her in repair, but the matron who reaches middle age in complete preservation, •—that woman is rendered beautiful by perfect health." To attain such health in middle life a woman must guard against those ills which drag her down and produce nervousness, headache, backaches, slpeplessness and "the blues." The standard remedy for such conditions is Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which for forty-five years has been restoring women to health and strength.

"TT STATE CONVICT FARM PLANNED Prisoner Society Proposes Saving to Taax Payers and Averting Idleness Philadelphia, March 27.—Back to the farm for prisoners is the plan of the Pennsylvania Prison Society, not only because it benefits the health of the prisoners, but also because it saves the taxpayers from maintain ing them in idleness. There are 6,000 prisoners In the State and 3,000 of them have no em ployment. "In 1914 there were 1,000.000 days of idleness in the county jails," 6.iys Albert H. Votaw, secretary of the Pennsylvania Prison Society, "and practically the same condition obtains to-day. "Twenty-seven counties have made use of the bill introduced a couple of years ago permitting wardens to send their prisoners to farms, and It is quite probable that the commission under appointment by the Governor to revise the penal system of the State, will try to extend this princi ple to reach all county prisons of the State. "There are two ways this can be done—to make it obligatory on all courts to provide for work on farms by all prisoners suited to the work and to establish county an 4 State industrial farms, to which all prison ers of thirty days or more may be sent." Mr. Votaw said that the Delaware County prison raised 313,000 of agri cultural products last year, of which it had already sold 310,000. Railroads Will Do Some Improvement Work, Hines Says By Associated Press Pittsburgh, March 27. —Despite the financial predicament of rail roads, the railroad administration plans to carry out as much of its improvement program as possible to keep labor employed and roads in repair. Walker D. Hlmes, director general of railroads, declared in an address last night before the Pitts burgh Traffic Club. He asked, for a more adequate understanding on the part of the public of problems facing the railroads during the war and in the immediate future, and presented suggestions for operating roads privately under the public regulation as a permanent solution of the problem. Referring to the Improvement program. Mr. Hines said: "Unfortunately the impression has gone out that the railroad adminis tration has decided to cut off all im provement work, including addi tions and betterments and mainten ance. This is not a fact. What has happened, is that we are taking steps to give the railroad corporations full opportunity to determine whether they should assent to the work which they must finance."
