and thus ali too frequently a conclusion
Numerically opposed TO that intended is
attained. The sound and capable mind Is
able to resolve the question, but such a
mind has already to greater or
less extent settled at least the fun
damentals involved, and requires lit
tie If any stimulus from the stage. The
fact that the theater is not a kindergarten,
and that the educational function Of the
stage Is exercised for the benefit of those
who are equipped to grasp its lessons is
advanced in reply to the proposition that
some protection is desirable for those
minds not properly constituted for the re-
ception Of the lesson intended. The re-
suit has been attained and in effect is
as satisfactory as II 1t were the direct oper-
alton o, a censorship, by the natural aver
sion OF the general mass of the people for
play which is wholly psychological in
its manifestations. The American people
do not want mere smut" on the stage, nor
do they care to hear the deeper problems
Of life debated by actors. In this way
the solution is most practical, and the
censorship is decidedly unnecessary.
.
The further fact that a censor, or board
OF censors would not represent positive
quantity for the determination of public
taste is another reason for objecting to the
proposition. AT best any decision reacheo
would be but the expression OF an individ-
ual opinion and would not be of greater
force than the remarks Of the critics, save
it might have the support that would come
from its being official. That the censor is
not infallible has been determined on more
than one occasion. In Berlin. for example.
the production OF Paul Heyses Mary Of
Magdala" was forbidden, while Suder-
mann's "Magda," Joys of Living" and
similar productions are permitted without
question. Similar Inconsistencies have been
noted in London and other places where the
censor determines on the permissibiity of
plays before allowing them to be publicly
presented. But the Denver newspapers pro-
fess to see behind the local censorship
merely a great plan for making the theat-
rical managers produce" for the benefit OF
the board OF censors Maybe so.

John McCullough's forcefulness as an
actor implanted him so firmly in the public
mind that 1t will be years before his MEM
ory is replaced by that of any other player
of tragic roles. But of all the thousands
who saw him play few were aware that at
l6 he could read, but could not write, and
that at IS he knew absolutely nothing OF
literature, perhaps not even the name OF
the great poet of Avon, whose interpreter
he afterward became.
In after life Mccullough used to speak

growth and success of the enterprise
was assured, until to-day 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 woman's
ills.
Although Lydia E. Pinkham passed
to her reward some years ago, the per-
petuation of her great work was
guarded by her foresight.
During her long and %eventful expert
ence b was eve m~ethOdical in her
work and was careful to preserve q

attention. b caSe Of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice

ing symptoms. treatment and results,
were recorded for future reference,
and to-day these records, together with
thousands made since, arc available to
sick women the world over, and repre-
sent a vast collaboration Of informa-
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 E. Pinkham was to see 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 daugh-
ter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham.
Therefore, under the guidance and
careful training of Lydia e.. Pinkham,
and a vast experience Of her own,

Mrs. Pinkham is exceptionally well
equipped to advise sick women, which
she is always glad to do free Of

This remarkable woman, whose
maiden ne me was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass, February 8, 1919. com
ing from n good old Quaker family.
For many years she taught school, and
during her career as a teacher she be-
came known as a woman Of an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, IL above all,
she was possessed with d wonderfully
sympathetic nature.
In 1943 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
-four children, three sons and Il daugh-
ter.
In those good old-fashioned days few
drugs were used in 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.
Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took a
deep interest in medicine, in botany
the study Of roots and herbs, their
characteristics. and power over dis
ease; she believed that rs nature
60 bountifully provides food for the
body SO she also provides medicine for
the Ills and weaknesses of the body,
in the roots and herbs Of h field,
and as q 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
tmon cause, and she set to work to
find a comrlon remedy-not at that
time as a 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
!ests Of the Pinkham family, as this
class Of business suffered most from
this fearful depression, so when the
centennial year uawneu IL found tnvir
