when two scouts at Cagpili were bath

taken by n crocodile. A week ago yes

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
tbetic nature.
In 1919 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and u
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 n 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 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-
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 pecu-
liar to the female sex, ana 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
ont money and without price, as 4
labor of love.
But in 1873 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-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
crty swept away. Some other source
Of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia +. Pinkharl's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

In this connection, an attache of the
library tells of an amusing incident. A
member desired copy of novel en-
titled The Girl He Left Behind Him."
The book not being in, he made the Gus
tomary deposit, and, in due course, re-
ceived notification. This the member
wife received--to her alarm, at frst-for

WATERMELONS AND MORALITY.
Desire for Beer Is at Its Lowest Ebb il
Texas.

Our Sundays now show large de.
crease in the number of jags," said Sergt
John Fitzhenry at police headquarters
Have you thought of the reason for
this? There is reason for it and
only tumbled upon it the other day
Look at the records for the past month
and see il what l tell you is not true as
to effect Now as to the cause. 1t is
simple. ! don't know whether the min
listers and the saloon men realize it OIL
not, but the watermelon as moral fac
tor is equal to ten policemen.
How do / know? Simply by study
ing causes and effects. We can see the
effects here of some cause which has
decreased the number Of Sunday jags
There is just as much beer to be had
just as much made. It's just as cold
and tastes just as good as ever. Men
like it as well now as they did in April
They have the same means of getting It,
But they don't drink as much. Why
Because they eat watermelons. There's
nothing so cooling as watermelon of
the ice. 1t slakes the thirst as well as
anything else, and after eating a large
juicy slice no man will have any desire
left for cold, frothy stein, no matter
what his tastes may be. This is a fact.
THE watermelon is the only fruit
know of which asserts positive moral
influence to such an extent that it will
show on the records of the police de.
partment. Take the classes Of people
who usually pay us Il visit, and fine,
too, if they get drunk. They can get a
good melon for 10 cents and they prefer
that to beer. Hence we have fewer
jags, fewer visitors and collect less
money in fines. Put the watermelon
down as positive moral factor and you
will make no mistake. Antonio

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 away Freely. They hired job
setting forth the merits of the medi-
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, y 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 Is 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 f. 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 tick women the world
over, and represent 4 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 f. Pinl,ham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs
Pinltham. She was care ully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
TO her hands naturally fell tho
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 Il. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother OF large family, took
itup, 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 wo-
men, this advice is Yours for Health"
freely given if you only write to ask
| for it.
Such is the history of Lydia f.. Pink
hams Vegetable Comround 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.

Cherry Ice Cream =.

Put one pound Of granulated sugar
and one-half pint OF water in sauce
pan over the Are. Stir until the sugar
is ali dissolved, then let the syrup
come to boil. Drop in gently one
quart Of white cherries, pitted, and let
simmer fifteen minutes. Strain care
fully, and when the syrup Is cold add
one quart of sweet cream and freeze.
When 1t gets rather thick remove the
dasher beat well with wooden pad
die, and stir in the fruit. Pack and let
stand three or four hours to ripen.
Another very nice way to serve cherry
ice cream IS to stone and crush the
cherries, and add sugar to make them
sweet. Chill on ice, and put spoon
full of the crushed fruit in small glass
es, and heap over vanilla ice cream.
Raspberry, peach, apricot and banana
ice creams can be maded and served
with the same directions as straw
berry or cherry ice creams.

THE CALL OF THE CANADIAN
WEST.

The Greatest Wheat Crop of the
Continent.
The year that has just closed has
done a great deal towards showing tho
possibilities Of Western Canada from
an agricultural standpoint. The wheat
crop has run very near to the 100000
OOO-bushel limit that was looked upon
as too sanguine an estimate only q
short time ago, and the area that has
been broken to fall wheat for the COM
ing harvest will go a long way to-
wards enabling the farmers OF the
West to overlap on the 10O,OOOOOo-
bushel estimate next year. And while
the spring and winter wheat nave
been doing so we'll during the past few
years the other cereals have been keep
ing up with the procession. Rye ana
barley have made immense strides, and
peas and fax have been moving stead
lily along. Dairying also has been sue
cessfully carried on in the new prov
inces, and in every stage the farmer
has been striking it rich" To such an
extent has the success of the West
taken hold of outsiders that the rush
of Americans to Saskatchewan ana
Alberta, which was looked upon as
marvellous last year, bids fair to be
largely exceeded in 1906, and as there
are still millions Of acres Of free home
steads available, which the building OF
the new railways will render accessl-
bic to the markets, new wheat lands
will be opened up ere long. Amongst
the first to avail himself of the oppor-
tunty presented will be the American
settler. In q large number OF Amerl-
can cities Dominion government
agents are located, who are able and
willing to give the latest and best in
formation in regard to the new dis
tricts which the railways will open up,
and there will be no abatement OF the
rush to the Canadian prairies during
the coming season. Some time since
a poet in the columns of the Toronto
Star" had the following stirring lines,
which throb of the Western spirit:
There's a stir in the air, there's thrill
through the land, there's a
movement toward the Great
West;
And the eyes of all men for the mo-
ment are turned to the country
that we love the best
For it's Canada's day in the worlds
calendar, and to this merry toast
let US sup:
Here's to the land, the young giant Of
the North,
Where the prairies are opening up"
They come from the East and they
come from the South-they
come Ger the deep rolling sea-
They come for they know they will
dwell meath flag that makes
all men equal and free.
Then once more the toast, and let
every man rise, and cheer ere
he sips from the cup:
Here's to the land the young giant
OF the North,
Where The prairies are opening up"
