and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, ard above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 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 a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures OWE remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent eases. By tradition and eX-
perience many of them gained Won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinlxham 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
IL was ner pleasure 10 search lncSe 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, 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
ont money and without price, as i
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. Pinl1ham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

EXPLOSION IN SUBWAY.
Sin Men Were Killed and Great
Damage Done in Busy Section
of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa. - A terrific ex-
plcsion of Illuminating gas in the
subway of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company under construction
at Sixth and Market streets Friday
resulted in the death of six men, the
injuring of about a dozen others and
causing property damage that will run
into thousands of dollars Besides
the six men that are known TO be dead,
it Is said that at least three others
are buried under tons OF earth in the
wrecked subway.
The explosion was caused by a leak
in a city gas main that had been i'm
properly repaired Thursday night.
The escaping gas formed in a pocket
in the subway and it is believed
that a workman carrying a lamp
into the hole ignited the gas.
The force of the explosion wrecked,
the subway for half block and all
the heavy timbering and other struc-
tural work including tons of earth,
fell into the excavation. A heavy rain
during the night had slightly weakened
the walls of the excavation and added
to the damage.

Anecdote of Robert &. Hit.

The late Robert r. Hit had a knowl-
edge of stenography which was of
great value to him in debate. He has
been known to rise with his hand full
of shorthand notes of a speech just
delivered to which he was about to
reply and woe to the man who &C
cused Mr.. Hit of misquoting him. He
was the patron saint of the stenog-
raphers of the house. Not long ago
political influence was about to dis
place from the line of promotion a
young expert writer of shorthand from
Michigan whose work Mr.. Hit had
occasion to admire. Mr.. Hit went to
Speaker Cannon. This will never do,
Joe," said the shorthand authority of
the house. I'VE can't do without this
man. The house must have him. All
right, Hit replied Speaker Cannon.
IF anybody knows the sort of stenog-
raphers this house ought to have you
are the man" That settled it and the
Michigan stenographer held his place.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
err strength than other makes.

Walnut a Staple Food.

In some parts of France walnuts
form a regular article of diet. The
peasants eat them with bread that
has oftentimes been rubbed with gar
lie. The hygienic effects are corsid-
cred good, replacing meat to a large
extent. These nuts are also used
to make oil. 1t is much cheaper and
similar in taste to that pressed from
olives, and is employed to adulterate
the latter. The prisoners in certain
prisons are engaged in cracking wal
nuts and picking out the kernels,
