restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filing a gross OF bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia 2. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used It
recommended It to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased
In 1877. by combined efforts the fans
lily had saved enough money to com-
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success Of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia 2. Pinkham and her Veges
table Compound have become house.
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu<
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done IL
herself.
| During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful TO pre-
serve a record of every case that came 20
/ her attention. The case Of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there We're thousands-reeeived
careful study, and the details. includ
| ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
| hundreds of thousands made since. are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast cOllabOra-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
IinlSham. She was care 3 instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge. and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction Of the work when its origfna-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia E. PinlSham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkhan,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work, and
probably from the Office Of no other
person have so many women been adj
vised how to regain health. Sick yvo-
men, this advice is Yours Tor HEALTH

JOINT CONFERENCE.
Carpenters and Woodworkers VIII Try
to Smooth Out Wrinkles.

Indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 22.-In the
hope of framing a trade agreement
which win put an end to the friction
has existed between the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America and
the Amalgamated Woodworks' Interna-
tiOnal union, the executive boards of the
two organizations will hold a joint con-
ference in Indianapolis Thursday of this
week at which President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor will be
present to lend his aid should it be
needed.
The long standing dispute of the two
rival organizations has found its way
frequently into the American Fedora
ton of Labor conventions, and at the
Pittsburg meeting last November dele
gates from the two organizations pre-
scented resolutions which were adopted
and which led to the coming meeting.
The dispute centers about men who
work in mills and factories, each organ
ization claiming jurisdiction.

100 YEARS HENCE
Subject Of an Address by President
Eliot of Harvard.

Cambridge, Mass Jan. 22.-President
Eliot of Harvard, pictures a mighty
American republic a hundred years
hence in an address yesterday before
the Prospect Union on Reverence Con-
sistent With Genuine Democracy He
spoke in part as follows:
THE great movement of the world
today is toward democracy. The great
Keynote of the present century, the cen
fury that we are just entering upon,
win be democracy in all things. one
hundred years from now the population
of our country, which is now for the
most part wilderness. viii be beyond
any present conception, and this great
nation viii be the most democratic that
the world has ever known.
THE progress of democracy viii be
the great feature Of the advance OF
civilization in the present century. If
This is to be sound, the character of our
people must be as sound as their pro-
f1ciency in the arts, in commerce, IN
government
Though critics of democracy say that
democracy has destroyed some of their
fire. characteristics of the older cOun-
tries such as reverence of children tow
ard parents, pupils toward teachers,
the people toward their rulers, there is
all relations a more genuine relation
than formerly. No nation in the world
has such reverence for women as have
the men of the great republic our
reverence for symbols has diminished,
hut not for the Ideals which these ma
terial signs of religion and love or
country stand for.

The Sports Finish.

Tod Sloan, the Jockey, admits
that he is down and out. He Is a
bankrupt, is facing a charge of
using money belonging to his
manager and is sick.
There is nothing remarkable
about the termination of the car
eer of the ono famous and not
orious jockey. His is but the old
story of the coming and going of
a "sport". With a few modifica-
lions it might be the record of any
one of a hundred who have gained
the limelight through the roped
arena, the paddock or the dia-
mond.
Sloan at one time earned one
hundred thousand dollars a year.
This and the applause of the
sporting world" turned his head.
He thought he could do anything.
He tried trickery and was out
lawed. This burst his boom like
a flash. He could not get a job.
He dwindled out of sight. And
now he is "down and out"
And such is the way of the sport.
AS a rule he finds a living in a
saloon, or as a cheap actor, and
then joins the army of worship
pers at the shrines of the idols
who have supplanted him and his
contemporaries. The dissipation
that cut his career short is. con-
tinued without abatement and at
an early age he usually finds his
place in the ground.
