In school Candy Sellers.

The plan of having an official purveEor
for each public school was adopted by
the elementary schools committee of the
PHILADELPHIA board of education Wednes-
dav. The object is to prevent the chill
dren from buying impure candy. The
PRINCIPAL of each school is to appoint one
candy dealer who shall be permitted to
sell certain goods which the committee
knows to be pure. All other ~peddlers will
be excluded from the school grounds. The
committee also has recommended the
opening of five portal lie school houses on
wheels in certain overcrowded sections
of the city.

and Investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa- thetic nature.
 In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham, builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter.
 In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, natures own remedies calling in physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and ex- perience many of them gained won derful knowledge of the curative prop critics of the various roots and herbs.
 Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kindss so, if we but take the pains to find them. in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies ex- presslv designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medi- cineS for her own family and friends.
 Chief of these was a rare combina- ton of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peeu- liar to the female sex, and Lydia F. Pink hams friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them.
 All this so far was done freely. with out money and without price, as a labor of love.
 But in 1s-3 the financial crisis struck Lynn Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family. as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centen- nial year dawned it found their prop erty swept away. Some other source of income had to be found.
 At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's S Vegetable Compound was made known 10 the world.

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 Pinlhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped 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 F.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
 The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to great extent, self advertising, for whoever used 1t recommended it to others, and the de- mand gradually increased.
 In 1877, by combined efforts the fam fly 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 E. Pinkham and her Vege. 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 1t herself.
 During her long and eventful expe- rience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful pre- serve record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice and there were housands-received 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 collabo tion of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly 't NiuaNt III Nt4S world.
 With Lydia F. Pinllham worked her daughter in law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was ullyinstructed 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 origina- tor passed away. For nearly twenty five years she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia F. Pinkham dropped her pen. and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of 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 ad- vised how 10 regain health. Sick wo- men, this advice is Yours for Health" freely given if you only write te ask for it.
 Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound made from simple roots and herbs the one great medicine for women's ailments. and the fitting monument to the noble woman whose name it bears.
