The Committee SIXTEEN.

The committee system. like the pray
er meeting and the pledge, is one of the
unique and distinctive things which
Christian Endeavor has brought to the
young people of the world. 1t has en-
phasized personal responsibility; it has
given them something to do; it has put
into million minds the thought: II.
too, am worker in the Masters king
DOM | may be young and ignorant
and uninfuential, but l have my task
as truly as the minister has his or the
Sunday school superintendent has his.
A member of committee is one to
whom something has been committed.
and the particular task assigned to me
has been committed to me both by the
election of the society and by the will
of God. Then will do my best on ms
committee for Christ's sake" DR..

and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, aud above
all. possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham.
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 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 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 vegetab BILE 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 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
out money and without price, as q
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
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

Teachers Salaries in Maine

A report of the committee ON teachers
salaries appointed at the annual meeting
of the Maine teachers association in 1904
an advance copy Of which has Just been
recsived from the State educational de-
partment, presents interesting, and, in
some respects, surprising matters.
The data is carefully compiled, the fig
ures for comparison with other states are
accurate. 1t is presented in comprehen-
sive tabulated form.
1t is found that the average monthly
wages of men teachers in Maine is S37. 81
and of women, s27.60. This is 81 81 below
the average in the United States for men
and Sl2.so lower than the average for
women.
But this is not all the average monthly
wages OF women teachers in Maine is a AZ
lower than the average in the South At
lantic states, which is the lowest shown
by any section.

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which WIS
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 gross of bottles.

printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia Z. 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 II to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to COM

that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured. until to-
day Lydia E Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house.
hold words everywhere. and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in it's 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 abe 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 sisk women the world
over, and represent a 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 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 its 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 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 z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound 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.
