Pinkh atn's Veg'- ctable Compound. When this bleat remedy was first introduced, and for many years after, skeptics — frowned upon it's curative claims, but as year after year has rolled by and the little group of women who had been cured by it has since grown into a vast army of hundreds of thousands—doubt and skepti. cisul have been swept away as by a mighty tidal wave, until today this, purely vegetable medicine is recognized as the greatest remedy for woman's :special ills in the world. This is because it is a wonderful tonic and reconstructor which acts directly and favorably upon the feminine organization and is a specific for that purpose. Women in Alt Countries Depend Upon 7 ig4 Vegeta i1 kh le Compound Their Glory Iu the special order issued to the - Canadian troops on March 27, 1918, General Sir Arthur Currie wrote: "To those who will fall I say, 'You will not the but step into immortality ---Soni• inimes will he revered forever and ever by your grateful country, and Gud will take you unto Hiru- eelf," The pledge thus given is being faithfully fulfilled in relation to em- ployees of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way Company by the placing of bronze memorial tablets at over a score of its principal offices and stations. Furthermore two imposing bronze statuary groups have been de- signed for the great C.P.R. Stations at .Montreal. and Winnipeg to stand forever as tribute to the heroism and self-sacrifice of C,P.R, men who died in the cause of freedom. Far-flung and scattered are their graves, but single was their spirit and their Ideal, the service of their country, Out of 11,302 employees who were reported as ,joining the .Forces, 1,090, or nearly ten per cent paid the su- preme sacrifice, These came from every rank of the company, from every department, and they served by air, laud and sea—faithful unto death. The bronze tablet, replicas of which will be placed at the pr7nei2al railway centime In each province of Canada, and also in London, Liver- pool and the-Orleut, has been do - signed by Mr, Archibald Pearce, of the Chief .Engttteor's Department of the company, and is being engraved at Worcnsteralrire, England, by the Bromsgrove Guild and Applied Arts. The tablet depicts au advancing army of infantry, calvalry, artillery, sup- plies, munittons, tanks end railway transport flanked on either side by a warship and a C,P.O.S, liner with aeroplanes flying overhead. Iir'itan- uta calls with outstretched .hands to the' Overseas Dominions and points 'tut the road to death and glory, while underneath is a scroll with the list of the chief battles 1n which the C. P.R. men fell. The inscription com- memorates: "'Those in the Service of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway Company who at the call of Icing and Country, left all that was dear to then endured hardship, faced danger, and finally passed out of sight of men by the path of duty and self -,sacrifice, give ng tip their own Yves that others slight live in freedom.
