restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman friends and
neiehbors was equally good for the
women Of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money. and
little credit. Their arst laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filing gross Of bottles.
Then came the question Of selling
it, for always before they had giver,
IL away freely. They hired a Job
setting forth the merits Of the medi.
cine, now called Lydia 2. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and these were
distributed by the Pinkhsm sons In
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, 10 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 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 r. Pinkham and her Ncge-
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 eventtul expe.
rience she was ever methodcal in her
work and she was always careful TO pre-
serve record of every case tina t 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 q vast collabora-
ton Of information regarding the
treatment Of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
- equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law. the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefullyinstructsd
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 cor tinued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. finkham,
now the mother Of large family, took
it up. With women assistants. some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs
Pinltham 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
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
groat medicine for womens ailments
and the fitting monument to the noble
} woman whose name it bears.

ALGECIRAS AS 1T Is.
Charms Of the Spanish city. where the
Morocco Conference Meets.

Algeciras is an exquisite city-a little
corner of Spain rarely visited by tourists
and never frequcnted by Cooks cara
vans--the Spain of the olden times, the
Srain of the ballads and legends of Vic
tor Hugo and Theophile Gauticr-a city
white and blue, with it's quaint, ow-built
houses, its wrought iron balconies, and
its laurels and rose bushes a-blossoming
before its grecn-shaded windows, says
Jules Claretie in the Figaro. The streets
are still and mournful, and the grass peeps
up from between the cobblestones of the
pavement. All is as silent as in a sum
baked city OF the Orient. I come and go
IN this strange solitude. Through the half
closed doors I get glimpse of delicious
pntios, inner courts adorned with foun-
tains and azulejos. and with broadleaved
banana trees. laurel. roses and orange
trees. A fragrance of flowers and ripe
fruit hangs over all this drowsy town.
Now and then a white hand lifts a
green window shade and through the
grating l see the face of beautiful
woman. The young girls OF Algeciras are
the handsomost in Spain. often of mixed
Spanish and English blood. their mothers
being lark skinned Andalusians and their

TRUST co. LOWEST BIDDER
RNVin Furnish the City Money mt Az
per Cent.


Four bids were opened Saturday by
Eity Treasurer l.. c. Grant in response
10 the call for proposals to furnish
money which the city will be compelled
q borrow in temporary loans during
bGJ6 to pay the accrued and accruing OK
|penses of the city until taxes are paid.
trhe lowest bidder was the Burlington
.rrust Co., and the contract was award
ID to that institution, the rate being 4.2j
)cr cent, this being 10 per cent. less
| han was paid last year. The money
will he loaned TO the city as it is want
d as has been the custom in the past.
Irhe bids received were as follows:
| The burlington Trust Co, 425.
Loring, Tolman & Topper or Boston,
LBS.
National Life Insurance Co., of Mont
pelier, 4.25.
Blake Bros & Co., OF Boston. 4.i9.
1t will be noticed that the bid of the
National Life Insurance Co, was the
Kane as that of the Burlington Trus,
o.. but the difference in the bids lay
n the fact that the insurance company
would only loan the money in a lumr
um on February /. The two Boston
concerns made the same stipulation
The first sum to be borrowed undci
he new arrangement will be secured af.
or the next meeting OF the board OF
ldermen when n loan Of 500, 600 will prob
bly, be asked for. The bids called for
sum ranging from $4,000 to $4,000 but
ust what amount will be needed cannot
be told now.
This method of borrowing money is
aiken in concordance with resolution
ht a recent meeting of the board of al
herman, when the city treasurer wa:
instructed to call for bids.

NO SILVER DOLLARS OF 1905
should Anybody Produce One it VIII
he n Counterfeit.
Now York SIM ,


Many inquiries have been received re-
gardng the item recently published in
the sun" that $1,000 is offered for -
silver dollar ot 1905. The ran who made
the offer stands by it and believes that
almost any coin dealer would double it,
On the ground that no silver dollars We're
coined in 1905 as no law was passed
authorizing the secretary of the treasury
to coin them.
At tho end of 1904 tho quantity of sill
Yer dollars in circulation was SO great
that no necessity was felt of continuing
their coinage. Besides, the amount of
bullion available for the purpose was at
that time limited. 1t is possible that
the coinage OF silver dollars may be re-
sumcd this year
Government officials in this city said
Yesterday that counterfeit 1905 silver dol
LAYS are likely to turn up as a result of
the item printed in the sun Whenever
premium is offered for silver dollars
tho counterfeitors become very busy, be-
cause they are able to put even more
silver into dollar than the government
does and still make a handsome profit
provided they don't get caught.
