and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1843 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
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 a physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained Won
derful knowledge of the curative prpo-
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
beautifully 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 rare ccmbina-
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 Il.
Pinkham's friends and neighbors learn
ed 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
labor Of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. It's length and severity were too
much for the large real estate inter-
ests 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,
with their mother, combined forces to

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 a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
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 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 on
the enterprise we're assured, until toy

hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia Fl. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work.. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not until 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 to
preserve a record of every case that
came to her attention The case of ev-
cry sick woman that applied to her for
adyice-and there were thousands
received careful study, and the details,
including symptoms, treatment and re-
suits, were recorded for future refer
ence, and to-day these records, togeth-
er with hundreds of thousands made
since, are available to sick women the
world over and represent a vast col
alteration of information regarding
the treatment of women'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 it's 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 woman 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-

To Build Good Road.

1t is proposed to improve the nine
miles Of road between Caldwell and
Nampa. 1t is the plan to make an i'm
proved earth roadway The method
adopted will be to first grade out the
center Of the road to depth Of some two
or three feet. Then the earth will be re-
placed.
When it is put back it will be in sue
cessive layers. Each will be wetted and
rolled with steam roller. After the
foundation is thus prepared, the road
way will be rounded up above the base,
this also being rolled.
A perfect drainage system is to be
provided, iron pipes being used to carry
the water wherever it is necessary for
it TO cross the road. The roadway
will be about IS feet in width.
The idea of the road was secured from
the government good road experts who
were here last year. They stated such
soil as is found here, carrying a little
alkali cements very hard when treated
in the manner proposed. Water does
not get into it readily, and the road re-
mains comparatively hard under condi-
tions that wonld cause mire before the
improvements had been made.
One feature of the plan is to plant a
row of trees on each side of the road the
entire distance. Thus, in few years,
it will become an outrageous avenue.
This work is to be paid for by the peo-
pie OF Nampa and Caldwell, each place
shouldering half the burden.

The Same Old Done.

State Chairman jackson, Of the De
mocratlc State Central Committee. has
commenced to peddle the same old Du-
pois dope. as in campaigns Of the past.
In his letter of May 18th, from Wash
ington, to Chairman jackson, Senator
Dubois writes -
Il beg you will bear with me, how
ever, il state with some insistencv
that there can be no permanent well
being in Idaho while this incubus OF
Mormon control and polygamous cor
ruption parades itself unchecked and
with effrontery in our midst"
Senator Dubois is Idaho's brightest
and most clever politicians. He has
had lis face in the public crib since
Iige was pup. He has played the
political game on all sides Of the fence,
and then some. He now poses as the
savior of the people of Idaho, who he
claims are in the clutches of the hide
1us octopus "Mormonism," which is
slowly but surely strangling the
womanhood and manhood of Idaho.
This is bunch of bad dope to try to
force down the throais of Idaho peo-
pie.
We have no objection to the Senator
having office, but we do object to his
attempt to persecute the Mormon peo-
pie for political revenue only. If Idaho
is in the condition Dubois says we are
i'll, right thinking people ought to all
get up and leave. The gallant gentle
nan is wonder, and if he can give
a. the proof oi all these crimes lac al
ieges, We viii help him in his holy war
determination. Ent when the X-Rav

tor Dubois is calrying around photo
