This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born IN
LYNN, Mass, February 8, 1919, com
ing from a good old Quaker family.
For many years she taught school, ana
d11ripo her career as teacher she be-
came known as a woman Of an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all.
she was possessed with wonderfully
sympathetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a buildet and real estate operator, ana
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three SONS and daugh-

In those good old fashioned days few
drugs were used i'll medicines; people
relied upon natures remedies, roots
and herbs, which are to-day recognized
as more potent and efficacious in con-
trolling diseases than any combination
OF drugs.

deep interest in medicine, in botany

in the roots and herbs of the field,
and as wife, mother and sympathetic
friend, she often made use Of her
knowledge Of roots and herbs in pre-
pairing medicines for her family and
friends.
Knowing Of so much suffering
among her sex, after much study and
research, Mrs. Pinkham believed that
the diseases of women have a COM
mon cause, and she set to work to
find common remedy-not at that
that she might aid the suffering
How her efforts have been rewarded
the women of the world know to-day.
In 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. It's length and severity was too
much for the large real estate inter
ests of the Pinkham family, as this
class of business suffered most from
this fearful depression, so when the
Centennial year dawned it found their
property swept away

FIVE MEN TRAPPED IN HOLE
AND SUFFoCATED.
SIaoIze from Burning Ventilating
Stack Draws Into Mouth of Mine
with Overwhelming Fury-Mis:si1e
Was Thrown by Boy.

At Horton, on Calsin creek, w. Va,
five coal miners were suffocated and two
others nearly killed. They were work
ing in a drift mine when the wooden
stack of the ventilating furnace caught
fire and was consumed. The men out
side busted themselves with trying to
put out the fire. Failing in that, they
gave no heed to those in the mine, not
suspecting their danger. There was a
strong draft from the burning stack di-
rectIy into the mouth of the mine, and
the smoke rushed in with overwhelming
fury. The miners who were ID the more
remote sections of the mine were unable
to get out and were overcome with the
smoke. OF the seven caught two were
resuscitated after being brought out. The
Horton mine is the property of the Car
diff Coal Company, which has eight or
ten mines in the Cabin Creek field.

S troubled. A lady who was once a
victim Of the coffee heart" writes
from Oregon:
Il have been a habitual user of cot
fee all my life and have suffered very
much in recent years from ailments
which became satisfied were directly
due to the poison in the beverage, such
as torpid liver and indigestion, which
in turn made my complexion blotchy
and muddy.
Then my heart became affected. It
would beat most rapidly just after I
drank my coffee, and go below nor
NAL as the coffee effect wore off. Some
times my pulse would go as high as
1871 beats to the minute My family
were greatly alarmed at my condition
and at last mother persuaded me to be-
gin the use of Postum Food Coffee.
Il gave up the old coffee entirely
and absolutely, and made Postum my
sole table beverage. This was months
ago, and all my ills, the indigestion, III
active liver and rickety heart action,
have passed away, and my complex
ion has become clear and natural The
improvement set in very soon after /
made the change, just as soon as the
coffee poison had time to work out of
my system.
My husband has also been greatly
benefited by the use of Postum, and
we find that simple breakfast with
Postum, is as satisfying and more
strengthening than the old heavier
meal we used to have with the other
kind of Coffee Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
There's reason. Read the little
book, THE Road to Wellyille," in pKgs.

SCORES ARE KILLED.
Cars Rebel Soldiers Have Clash
with LoyaIist Troops.


While st. Petersburg was without tel
egraphic communication with the outer
world, belated advices received at the
frontier points by courier showed that
the situation in the Cars capital and
throughout the empire was exceedingly
grave, with promise of developing into
complete chaos.
The Car is beset from within and
without the palace, mutiny RACES III the
Baltic provinces, the reactionalres are
trying to override White and force trial
at arms with the people, and disaffectlon
increases among the imperial troops. The
naval battalions have revolted Ell masse,
and the warships have been disarmed.
Meanwhile the striking telegraphers are
defiant and the railroad employees and
workmen are considering a walk-out.
The revolutionists, social democrats,
and advocates of democratic republic
are taking advantage of every turn IN
the situation and working assiduously to
win the army over to their organized
plan for the overthrow Of the throne.
The Jews of Odessa report plan by
the troops to begin another massacre.
To just what extent these various move
ments have progressed is not yet known.
A dispatch from Kiev via Podwolo-
czyska says: One company of pom
toon battery mutinied, and, fully armed,
marched through the streets trying to
persuade other troops to join it. Only
an engineer corps did so. The mutt
neers, then 1000 strong, continued their
march. Two hundred Cossacks were sent
to prevent their advance, but Gen.
Drake, in order to prevent bloodshed,
subsequently withdrew the Cossacks and
permitted the mutineers to pass. Gov
Gen. Suchomiloff then telephoned an
order that energetic measures be taken
against the mutineers and that they be
fired upon at the first opportunity. The
troops then fired upon the mutineers,
who returned the fire and fled. The
casualties on both sides were about sew
enty dead and 300 wounded. Two hun

BOYS HABIT TO STONE TRAINS.
Pennsylvania Official Says There
Was No Design Against President.

\ report on the throwing Of the mis-
sile which broke a window in the Presi-
dents train near North Philadelphia
has been made to Frank L. Sheppard,
general superintendent of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. Mr.. Sheppard says: The
conductor of the train reports that the
missile was a plumbbob 1t is habit
of boys there to throw stones at passing
trains 1t is hardly possible that the
missile could have been thrown by any
one who had any design against the
President, for it would be difficult to
pick out any special car from the
bridges, even if it were known in which
one the President sat. We have been
nguring on how to stop the stone-throw-
ing nuisance"
