seeker after knowledge, ard above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1S43 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 q
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 Won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, thelr
characteristics and power over disease
She maintained that just as nature sc
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods o.
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 variou:
ills and weaknesses of the body, ano
1t was her pleasure to search these out
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her own family and friends
Chief of these was q rare combina

and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu

hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and curet
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 strucl
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interest
of the Pinkham family, as this clas
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen
NAL year dawned it found their prop

of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia f. Pinkham'

PENNIES FOR A COLLEGE.
One Hundred Thousand Workers Each
Give a Penny to Ruskin College.

The British trade unions had not in
their origin any direct concern with
education, says the Fortnightly Re-
view. But it is fact of no ordinary
significance that some of the leading
unions should be taking very great
interest in the higher education Of the
workman.
For the last three years some 100,-
900 workingmen, members of the
Amalgamated Society of Engineers,
have made three levies of one penny
each to help on the work of Ruskin
college at Oxford This levy pro-
duces over 9300 year, and by means
of it six engineers are maintained for
a years course of study at the col
lege.
Smaller but substantial sums have
been contributed to the same institu-
ton by the London Society Of Com
positors, by the Lanarkshire Miners
County Union, by the Amalgamated
Association of Beamers, Twisters and
Drawers, by the Derbyshire miners
and the Durham miners, while large
number of other societies appear
among the donors and subscribers.

NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair
Began to Fall out-Wonderful Re-
suit from Cuticura Remedies.

about the latter part of July my
whole body began to itch. I did not
take much notice of 1t at first, but 1t
began to get worse all the time, and
then began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but became worse all the time.
Ny hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as / would get
bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep 1t irritated, and 1t
was not long before could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and l
did, and the first application helped
ne wonderfully. For about four
weeks l would take hot bath every
light and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and l
6ept getting better, and by the time
used four boxes of Cuticura was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out. D. e. Blankenship, 3l9

COAT OF PAINT SAVED BANK,
Clever Device Stopped Run That
Would Have Been Disastrous.

Runs ON banks, as all the world
Knows, are often stopped or restricted
IN the oldest ways.
A rich bank knew that a run was
to set in on a certain Monday morn
ing-for 1t had been robbed of some
postage stamps on Saturday night,
and the robbery had been exaggerated
in the newspaper reports-and If this
run was not kept within reasonable
limits the bank would hive to close
its doors. 1t had plenty OF money, but
not plenty of cash. 1t needed "a hours
time.
Before sunrise on Mondfy morning
man put fresh coat of paint on the
front doors of the bank, on the wall
panels, and on the counters. The re-
suit was that the people who made
the run on Monday made rather a
walk of it. They wanted their money,
but they rushed no one. On the con-
trary, they came on with caution and
, deliberation. SO careful were they
lest they get paint on their clothes
that it took longer to pay off one of
them than 1t would have taken or
dinarily to pay five.
This is one of many odd tricks
whereby, in a run, bank has saved
itself from wreck.

NERVOUS DEBILITY
A. Scranton Woman Tells How DR..
Williams Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Strong.

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
1t is characterized by mental depression,
fits of the "blues," or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The patient eyes
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Som" of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies i'll toning up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane j. Davies, of No. 314 War
rem street, Scranton, Pa, says: "Some
years ago became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became so debilitated that felt
wretched. Icould not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid in the morning as was when 1
went to bed. My head ached i'll the
morning and often there was pain in
my right side which was worse when I
sat down. My nerves were OIL edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and was generally miserable. Then 1
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, as my husband had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now 1 have no more
pain in my side, no more headaches, 1
sleep well and feel strong and able to
do my work"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men or
women who are Slipping into hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the root
of all common diseases caused by poor
al@ impoverished blood.
DIR Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt Of price, so cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co.. Schenectady, NY.

Not What He Was Used To.

Ever since John D. Rockefeller be-
came an honorary member of the
American Press Humorists associa-
ton stories more or less apocryphal
have been afloat regarding him. 1t Is
beginning to be suspected that some
of them have been invented by his
fellow humorists. One of the latest
refers to an occasion last summer
when he entertained a lot of slum
children at his stock farm near Cleve-
land. Mr.. Rockefeller gave each OF
them, among other things, some milk
to drink, part of it at least being the
product of a $4,000 prize COW. How
do you like IT." he asked when they
had finished. Gee, it's fine!" re-
sponded one little fellow, who added
after thoughtful pause: Il wisht
our milkman ken a cow!"

POSTAL DEFICITS.
American Newspaper Publishers As
ISOLATION Presents Brief to the
Congressional Committee.
SUGGEST PARTIAL REMEDY.
Second Glass Rate Should he Re
strictcd to Dissemination of Pub
lie InfOrmatiOn-One Cent
Rate Profitable.

New York, Oct. "a brief on be-
half of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers association was submitted
Tuesday to the congressional commits
sion on postal matters which is ~
session here and which is inquiring
especially into what steps shall be
taken by the government to obliterate
the large annual deficits in the postal
revenues, due, it Is alleged, to the
handling of so many tons OF second
class matter at the rate of one cent
per pound.
The brief is designed to show that
the legitimate newspapers are not the
cause OF the deficit and consequently
are entitled to a continuance OF the
prevailing rate 1t is asserted that
while the government itself has to
paw more than ten cents to carry the
ten cent magazine from the publish
ing Office to the news stand and sub
scriber. it derives profit from the
carrying of the newspapers. 1t is
declared that the newspapers have
been improperly included in sweep
ing assertions that all those entitled
to the second class mailing privilege
enjoy q gratuity and subsidy from the
government. The brief points out
that the recent deficits in postal rev.
enues were anticipated by Postmaster
Generals Smith and Payne because
of the establishment of the rural free
delivery system, and that the deficits
need not be viewed with apprehen-
sion. The brief suggests steps thac
may partially remedy the abuses
which have furnished occasion fer
complaint.
The belief is expressed that the
transportation of newspapers at one
cent per pound is profitable, inasmuch
as express and railroad companies
find a profit in carrying newspapers
and other articles at rates varying
from a quarter Of cent pound to
one cent pound, giving more and
| better service for the money and
| carrying long distances at the cent
pound rate.
The brief asserts that the situation
as to postal deficits is not so bad
as appears at first glance. The coun-
try is growing with amazing rapidity.
The revenues of each year are always
more than enough to pay the eX-
penses of the previous year, so that
an end can be put to deficits If stop
| is put to the increase in expenditures.
| Comparing the United States postal
service tc that of Great Britain, IT
| is shown that England pays SAL 10
| the mile for transporting mails,
whereas the United States pays but
| $19G. Yet Great Britain makes a
profit of $22,00O,000 year, mainly due
to the short haul and the dense pop
ulation
The brief states that the second
class rate should be restricted to the
dissemination of public information
and that it's employment primarily
| for mercantile purposes should lie
stopped.
Important changes IN the laws gov
erning the handling of second class
mail matter were recommended in a
! statement by John M. Hubbard, as
sistant postmaster of Chicago which
was read Tuesday by the postal COM
mission on that subject in this city.
