FROM tho country Saieuuhf.
Mr.. Rooscvelt's success n n great
part OF the pleasure in hunting come I'm
large measure from the fact that by
temperament and inclination he In n
naturalist.
When Mr.. Roosevelt went TO Harvard
IN 1876, he intended TO take n scientific
course there and to become a naturalist.
This he probably would have done cx-
cept for the influence OF the Instructors
ut Cambridge. They wished him TO 20
into The laboratory and study the low
forms OF invertebrnte life n To devote
himself to the cutting OF sections n
the study OF cells. They told him that
the day OF the field naturalist n
passed, hat his work had all been
done and that there was nc future for n
man In study OF that sort. Theodore
Roosevelt, however. did not care to
spend his life In cutting sections and
mounting them On slides and then
studying them through n microscope.
Nevertheless those early a OF study
and observation left their mark on his
character. As n boy he went TO Egypt
and while there made n collection OF
Egyptian birds. which he afterward
gave to the national museum In WASH
ington. where they now are. An Inn
portant contribution 10 o~rnithology was
made many years agv. wnen he sent TO
the national museum certain Long ISL
and specimens OF seaside nnches.
which enabled the committee on NOM
e~nclature OF the American Ornithol-
ogistR' union 10 decide rs TO the validity
OF certain alleged species and subspe-
cies Mt n time when no other speci-
mems were available on which h de-
cislon could be based.
In 1902 when the president went bear
hunting I'm Mississippi. he secured n
number OF bear skulls which he sent 10
the biological survey. and by them es-
tablished the fact hat the bear OF that
region In Ursus luteolus OF Griffith. n

This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born In
Lynn, Mass, February o. 1910. con-.
ing from a good old Quaker family.
For many years she taught school. and
during her career as n teacher she be.
came known as n woman Of IN alert
and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge. and above all,
she was possessed with n wonderfully
sympathetic nature. +.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkhnm,
n builder aud real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children. three sons and a daugh.

In those good old. fashioned days few
drugs were used I'm medicines: people
relied upon natures remedies. roots
and herbs. which are to.day recognized
as more potent and cficacIouS In con.

OF drugs.

time ms n source OF profit, but simply
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. Its length and severity was too
much for the large real estate inter,

bors and friends who were sick and
ailing. It's success In those cases hae
been wondcrful-its fame had spread.
and calls were coming from miles
around for this eficacious vegetables
compound.
They had no money. and little.
credit. Their frst laboratory was tho
kitchen. where roots and herbs were
STEPPED on the stove. gradually hllins
n gross OF bottles. Then came tho
question OF selling Il, for always be-
fore they had given Il away free.
They hired a Job printer to run on
some pamphlets settin: forth the msr-
It's OF the medicine, now called Lydin
+. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound,
and these pamphlets were distributed
by the Pinkham sons In Boston. New
York and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties OF
the medicine were. TO q great extent,
self advertising. for whoever used IL
recommended Il 10 others, and the do
mand gradually increased.
In 1877. by combined efforts, tho
mmily had saved enough money &C
commence newspaper advertising on o
small scale. and from that time the
growth and success OF the enterprise
was assured. until today Lydia E.
Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound
have become household words every
where. and thousands OF pounds OF
roots. and herbs are used annually In
making this great remedy for womnn'u
ills.
Although Lydia r. Pinkham passed
20 her reward some years ago. the per
pctnatlon OF her great work was
guarded by her foresight
During her long and eventful expert
cnce she was ever methodical In her
work and vas careful to preserve o
record OF every case that came to her
attention. The case OF every sick
woman who applied TO her for advice
and there were tbousands-receive6
careful study. and the details. includ~
Ing symptoms. treatment and results
were recorded for future reference.
and to-day these records, together with
thousands made since, are available TO
sick women the world over. and repro
sent a vast collaboration OF informnr
ton regarding the treatment OF won.
ans Ills which, for authenticity and
accuracy. can hardly be equaled IN any
library in the world.
Another act OF foresight on the part
OF Lydia r. Pinkham was TO sec that
some one OF her family was trained to
carry on her work. and with that end
in view. for years before her death,
had as her chief assistant her dnugh.
