and Investigating mind, On earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of 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 a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took 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 kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
pressly designed to cure the various
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 rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia e. 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 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
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
NAL 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
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter

THE HONEY COMB PACKING CASE.
wood" as second class. When this tar
if was first printed, some of the roads
were inclined to consider that all
comb honey in shipping cases with
glass front was in glass, and, conse-
quently, the freight rate was pushed
up one notch; but after considerable
explanation we showed that, eyidsntly,
such classification referred 20 honey in
bottles; that comb honey in a shipping
case with glass fronts ought to go as
second class because the percentage
of glass was very small to the amount
of wood All the railroads, | think,
now accept shipping cases with glass
fronts as second class. But the bee
keeper must not make the mistake of
having such honey billed Gin glass" or
else it will go at first class rates.
The Aspinwall case is very unique
one; and If the discrimination against
glass fronts had continued the all
wood case with the lettering would
have been the solution.
The atwood case can be made con-
siderably cheaper, and | do not know
why it would not be just as good. If
the freight handler cannot read he
ought to be bounced from the payroll
Shipping cases with glass fronts have
been broken into, and the fine cakes
of honey despoiled by some big fin
gers, time and time again. The Aspin-
wall case would prevent anything Of
this kind.
The arrangement of the no-drip
cleats in mortises or slots in the ends
of the case is very unique. 1t could
not, however be very well applied to
a glass-front case showing four sec
tions six deep. But where the cases
are two-row, like the sample here
shown, there will be no trouble about
mortising for the cleats.

Nothing Succeeds Like "EGG-o-sEE." "

The man who breaches the best SER
mon; the man who tells the funniest
stories; the man who keeps the best
store; or the man who makes the best
goods soon finds that people come to
him. Merit is the best advertisement
in the world. People speak we'll of
things they know are good. They pass
the good word along.
The best breakfast food is EGG-O-
SEE, for it contains all the life-giving
properties of natures best food, which
is wheat
EGG-O-SEE is deeply in debt to the
thousands of wives and mothers who
use it in their homes, for these good
women tell their neighbors about this
great food.
Children and aged persons alike are
friends of EGG-O-SEE.
Merit and common sense are the
things that advertise EGG-O-SEE
most. EGG-O-SEE is cheap. A 10
cent package contains ten liberal
breakfasts. EGG-O-SEE is sold every
where. Grocers must keep it if they
want to keep their good customers
for good customers insist on buying
EGG-O-SEE.
The fact that no preparation, no
cooking is required, makes EGG-O.
SEE very popular. Open the package;
put as much as you like in a dish: /:

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 filling 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 medi4
cine, now called Lydia e. 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 Ii
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fans
lily had saved enough money to CONS
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success o4
the enterprise were assured, until tos
day Lydia Il. Pinliham and her Vegcs
table Compound have become houses
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in it's 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 it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
WORK and she was always careful to 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 thousands-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 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 Il. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully 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 origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this greatwork and
probably from the Office of no other
person have so many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is "Yours for Health"
freely given if you only write to 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.

SHOT BY IA
YEAR OLD BOY
Boy Was Escaping From In
duStriaI School.
VICTIM WAS A KEEPER
He Was Pursuing Three Boys Who
Ran Away When One Of
Them Fired.

Vergennes, July 49, William Nc
Ginnls, an official OF the Industrial
school, was shot aud dangerously
wounded this afternoon by Frank La
dri, a l6-year.old inmate OF the insti-
tuition, who with two other ooys were
pursued by the officer after escaping
from the playground.
The absence OF the boys was dis
covered about o'clock and assistant
Superintendent h. b Pratt and MIR Nc
Ginnis at once began search for
them. They we're discovered by Nc
Ginnis in the meadow Of Henry
Daniel, about a half mile from the
school. The officer called upon them
to come out and line mp preparatory TO
returning TO the school.
Then, not aware that one of the boys
was armed, MEG innis turned to call
to the assistant superintendent, who
was some distance behind. As he
again looked at the boys, he saw
young Ladri draw a revolver. Nc
Ginnis threw up his arms, and Ladri,
apparently disconnected, dropped his
hands, the revolver being discharged
at the same time. The bullet entered
MEG body near the left hip and
taking a downward course, lodged
above the knee. He sank TO the ground
and the boys fed.
Mr. Pratt then took with him Dana
Wells, who is 10 charge OF the green
house and renewed the search for the
runaways They were found at the
lngham barn, mile from the scene OF
the shooting, and were ordered TO
come out. Ladri apparently was ready
to show fight, but Wells called to him
to throw up his hands and he obeyed.
The boys we're secured by Mr. Pratt,
and we're taken back 10 the institution.
Ladri and another of the boys were
lodged In the jail here tonight. The
former will be given a hearing tomor-
row. 1t is said that the revolver which
the boy had in his possession was
stolen from the room of the night
Waterman at the industrial school. Nc
Ginnis is about p years old.

Barre, July Is;-During the school
year that closed on March 81, 1906, the

divided with the exception OF $4,000
reserve fund that is being taken from
the state tax. On this basis Montpelier
will receive state funds TO the proper
