Uses Of Masks.

among the North American Indians
the origin Of the use of masks lay"
says a writer. in the desire to con-
ceal the emotions. Thus should two
warriors meet in combat, the mask
conceals any expression. whether OF
sympathy, fear or other emotion. For
instance, the knowledge that fear was
depicted on ones face and that his an
tagonist knew 1t would very possibly
insure the defeat Of the one whose
feelings were betrayed to the other"

seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed Of q wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
q builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three ons and o
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days 1t
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
nnd herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained q Won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took II 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 mcdi-
cines for her w family and friends.
Chief of these was u are combina-

and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pccu-

That her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among

All this so far was done freely, with.

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 gppss 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. 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 q great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used IL
recommended it to others, and the do.
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 Il. Pinkham and her Vege.
table Compound have become house.
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs IRE used annu.
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia Il. 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 rs
effectively Us she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful cxpe.
ricncc she was ever methodical in her
work and she was alwayscareful to pre-
serve n 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 q 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 T.. Pinkham worked her
daughter : in law, the present Mrs.
P%inkham. 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 abe has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia Il. Pinkham dropped hel
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham
now the mother of a large family, tool
it up. With women assistants, some q!
capable us herself, the present Mrs
Pinkham continues this great work ,and
probably from the office of no Other

A Woman's Ideal CITY.

The ideal city Of the twentieth century
is thus defined by Lucy Maynard Salmon,
A. NJ. professor Of history at vassar col
iege:
city with clean streets, we'll sprinkled
streets, streets lined with well cared for
shade trees.
Streets and roads that are freed from
bIllboards that are stencil in the COM
munity
Vacant lots now used as dumping places
turned into attractive squares.
Benches along the roadside for weary
pedestrians.
Back yards that are visions of beauty
instead Of eyesores.
Window boxes that brighten dull walls
and recreation piers on the banks Of the
river
All these make for patriotism as we'll as
for civic beauty and righteousness.
II 1t is true that the boy without a play
ground is father to the man without
job we may shrink from looking into their
future. Boys and girls are turned loose
on the streets; mischief, vice and crime
result, and when these conditions become
unbearable we turn to the curfew as
negative means OF dealing with conditions
that ought never to have existed.
