ELI 7. SHEPPARD'S
RESIDENCE SAVED BY
THE AMERICAN FLAG
Departing Tenant Hoists Old
Glory Before Taking
His Flight.

Ell T. Sheppard's beautiful home AT
the corner OF Taylor and Vallejo streets
was saved from the big fire by the
American flag. Adjoining property was
consumed by the flames and the Shep-
pard home stands today amid q waste
OF ashes. itself a little scorched but
otherwise unharmed
II was saved by the American flag
and as the result of a mistake.
Some time ago Mr.. Sheppard divided
his big house into flats. On the roof
was stepped a fagpole and TO the ten
ant IN the upper hat was intrusted the
duty Of hosting the American flag on
all suitable occasions
On Friday. the third day of the big
confagratioa, the sea of flames came
sweeping up Vallejo street and along g
Taylor street and Mr.. Sheppard with his
tenants and neighbors prepared for d
hasty exodus Houee by house was
consumed and when il began 10 get
warm a the base OF Russian Hill every
body fed but the man who occupied
the upper fat OF the Sheppard house
He, too. was walking away when an
idea struck him.
IF the house has got TO go. let it
go with the flag flying. I'm going
back. he announced 10 a group of
refugees. ito hoist Old Glory
Deaf 10 the entreaties OF his friends
he returned 10 the house and few
minutes later was seen hoisting the
big beautiful ensign that had been the
pride OF Eli Sheppard's loyal heart He
hoisted the flag TO the top and stood
watching it futtering above him. He
still held the haiyaros and before max
ing them fast dipped the flag three
times as q parting salute. Then, hoist
ing the bunting TO the truck again he
made fast the halyards and took his
departure
Several blocks away were two COM
panies of soldiers awaiting orders and
watching the progress Of the fire.
Suddenly one of tne men in khaki
yelled:

like demons. There was no water and
they literally tackled the sea of flames
with bare hands. For inspiration,
floating high above the sea of fire. was
the flag for which some OF them had
fought in far lands. They fought and
they conquered and the Eli Sheppard
house at 1924 Taylor street stands to-
day a monument TO the protecting DOW
er Of the American flag and a tribute
10 the bravery Of the flags protectors

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 medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkhams
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 n great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
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 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 it
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 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 E. 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 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 to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is "Yours for Health"

In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had

was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies

perience many of them gained won

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
OF the field there are remedies ex-
pressly 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.

that her compound relieved and cured

them.
All this so far was done freely, with

labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis strucl,

Experience Of Winston Churchill Fa-

Winston Churchill in an address
that he made in Concord recently
praised the New Hampshire farmer.
Ours" he said, 'is a state fitted
above all others for summer resort.
New Hampshire, with it's superb eli.
mate, its mountains, its lakes and
forests, will in a generation or two
be one great pleasure ground-a vast
park, dotted with beautiful villas, to
which will come each summer fam
lilies from all parts of America.
In anticipation of this many farm
ers are learning to conduct hotels.
They are building cottages for sum-
mer visitors. Some of them, too, are
taking boarders.
"And am glad to say that the New
Hampshire farmer is in position to
take boarders, because, unlike the
farmers in other states that l could
name, he does not send all his good
things to the city. l once boarded at
fine big farm, but the fare was
wretched-canned vegetables, con-
densed milk and SO on.
"'By Jove,' said one morning at
breakfast, as I pushed my egg cup
from me, these eggs are really not
as fresh as those / get in New York
My farmer host snorted.
That's rank prejudice on your
part, Mr.. Churchill he said. It's
