The Coming Attraction.

1.-THE Lights OF Gotham" comedy
drama in four acts, under the manage
ment Of P. J. Gould, will be presented
at Armory Hall for one night only,
Tuesday, August 2Sth. This is one Of
the plays of New York life that is ever
popular, and there is but little doubt
that when one studies the wrong and
the right in the theme a splendid moral
is taught. The play is one on which
the interest is Of the "humsn heart"
sort, and consequently when one is
viewing occurrences in everyday life
the truth c.mes home, and due appre-
citation is felt for the tTuthfulness with
which the various characters are PIE
sented. The leading part Of George
Walters will be played by William E.
Morrissey. The part is protean one
and serves to show this capable actor
in many different disguises. The lead
ing female role will be in the hands OF
Miss Helen Hawtrey, an accomplished
actress, while the leading comedy roles
will be played by such well known
comedians as Al. H. Fox, Nellie CARRIER
and James Fox. Many specialties will
be introduced during the action OF the
play. Seats are now on sale.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinlsham,
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 own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a 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 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
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 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 a
labor of love.
But in 1878 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. It's 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

KEEPING OUT MITES.
How the Poultry Raiser Can Keep His
Hen House Clean.

The successful poultry raiser has
learned how to keep out mites. 1t
may well be doubted if any successful
poultry raiser can be found whose
houses are teeming with mites.
Among the ways of keeping off the
mites are the following:
Have a house that is light and
large enough for the flock, and see
to it that it is well ventilated
Have the roosts, nests, dropping
boards and all fixtures removable, so
they can be cleaned perfectly, easily
and often.
Do not permit filth of any kind to
accumulate in this house, but make
sure that it is cleaned often.
The advice given by some is to
treat the house once in two weeks to
a dusting with air-slaked lime and sui
phur
The boxes for the sitting hens
should be washed in kerosene or
crude petroleum before being used
in the Matching operations The straw
in such boxes should be burned after
the hen is through sitting.
Lastly, watch the entire poultry es-
tablishment to make sure that mites
do not get a start.

Hav for Poultry.

The suggestion that hay makes a
good winter food for poultry would
have been ridiculed a few years ago,
but experiments have proved that
clover hay is now almost a necessary
portion of hens cold weather diet.
Glover hay for fowls should be cut
very fine, not over half an inch in
length, steamed and scalded and fed
once a day. A small quantity of corn
meal and bran sprinkled over the cut
hay will improve it. One reason clover
is such an excellent food for hens is
that it is rich in lime, a substance the
hens require in providing the shells
for eggs. 1t is about equal to corn
as a flesh producer and contains near
ly 80 times as much lime. 1t is plenti-
full on all farms and requires but little
time in preparation. After the green
food is gone it will keep the hens in
laying condition and increase the pro.
duction of eggs.

Poultry and Bee Notes.

Carelessness in handling poultry
will ruin the finest flock in a short
time.
Nitrogen may be the costliest or the
cheapest element of fertility, as you
like it.-C. E. T.
Paint the poultry house and have it
an addition to the looks of the farm
rather than something that detracts
from the appearances.
Scratchivity is virtue to be en-
couraged in the hen because upon it
largely depends layity, and that is
what most of us want
If cellar stands too near the freez-
ing point for the bees, bring the tenn
perature up by making the cellar
closer; but there will be better venti.
lation and better air by bringing the
temperature up at such times by
means of as mall fire.

Our Domestic Turkey.

While there are differences of opin-
ion regarding the origin of our domes-
tic turkey, it is currently believed that
it came directly from the wild turkey
of the United States and Canada One
writer expresses the opinion that the
original variety imported into Eng
land in 1920 came from a variety that
formerly existed in the West Indies
and was afterwards eXterminated by
the natives. This is gucsswork. There
is apparently no good reason for go
ing out of the way to hunt for any
other origin than that currently ac.
cepted What is known as the domes.
tic turkey crosses freely with the wild
variety, thus establishing a close rela.
tionship as having existed in the past

NEW YEARS CALLS.
A New Drink to Replace the OId-Time
"Apple-Jack."

Twenty-Five years ago the custom OF
making New Years calls was a de-
lightful one for all concerned, until
some of the boys got more "egg-nog'
or "apple-ja jack" than they could sue
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charit-
able and the gentlemen tried to be
as chivalrous as ever and stand up at
the same time.
If anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made in the
last quarter of century in the use
Of alcoohlic beverages, let him stop
to consider, among other things, the
fact that the old custom of New Years
calls and the genteel tipping is nearly
obsolete.
The custom of calling on ones
friends, however, at the beginning of
the new year, is good habit. and an
other good habit to start at that time
is the use of well-made Postum in
stead of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has a SEN
sible daughter who has set Postum
before her guests as a good thing to
drink at Yule Tide, and a good way
to begin the New Year. Her father
writes:
MY daughter and I have used
Postum for some time past, and we
feel sure it contains wholesome food
material.
Il shall not only recommend it to
my patients, but my daughter will be
most pleased to give demonstration
of Postum to our Christmas and New
Years callers" Read "The Road 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 Pinl1hams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were steeped 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 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 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 Of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia Z. Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinl<ham 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 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 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 . vast collabora-
tion 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.. Pinlham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
Pinllham. She was carefully lyinstructed
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 women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this creative 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 E. 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.
