UnwarIike Race Of Bees.

A race Of bees has been brought to
this country-as an experiment by the
United States government-that has
been found the gentlest in the world.
The one great drawback to bee-keep-

Of stings, but recent experiments at
Washington have proved the Cauca-

bees In existence for their gentleness.
The bees are not altogether sting

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked bv
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 a 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, 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 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 1873 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.

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts-
Hands Pinned Down-Mirac-
ulous Cure by Cuticura.


when my little boy was si- months
old he had eczema The sores extended
SO quickly over the whole body that we at
once called in the doctor. We then went
to another doctor. but he could not help
him, and in our despair we went to a
third one. Matters became so bad that
he had regular holes in his cheeks, large
enough to put a finger into. The food
had to be given with a spoon, for his
mouth was covered with crusts as thick
as finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and suppurate,
as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest
and back, in short, the whole body, was
covered over and over. We had no rest
by day or night. Whenever he was laid
in his bed we had to pin his hands down,
otherwise he would scratch his face, and
make an open sore. i think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing coud help,
and | had made up my mind to send my
wife with The child to Europe, hoping that
the sea air might cure him, otherwise he
was to be put under good medical care
there. But, Lord be blessed, matters came
differently, and we soon saw miracle A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. We
made trial with Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment and Resolvent, and within ten days
or two weeks we noticed decided inn
provement. just as quickly as the sick
ness had appeared it also began TO disap-
pear, and within ten weeks the child was
absolutely well, and his skin was smooth

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 filing q gross 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

In 1877, by CON bined efforts the FAM

that time the growth and success OF
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vere-
table Compound have become house

tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its 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 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

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 cola bora
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 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 a large family, took
it up. With woman assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.

THE PROTEST FROM ARIZONA The Anti Joint Statehood
 Meeting At Phoenix
 And What It Did

Douglas, Ariz., Jan. 4.-tSpeciai.)- )- The meeting was an impromptu one
 and the attendance was from citizens of Arizona who were in attendance upon the fair On short notice 150 leading citizens of Arizona assembled, representing nearly every county in the territory. The meeting was called to order at o'clock by J. c. Adams. president of the anti-joint statehood league. Speeches were made by Gov ernor Kibbey and many other govern ment officials. They volunteered to
 go to Washington and help fight joint statehood
 Speeches by other prominent men
 were to the same effect, that they
 would go to Washington and fight the
 pending statehood measure.
 General Sampson was made perma-
 nent chairman and Roy Goodrich secretary of the anti-joint statehood
 league, was made permanent secre-
 tary A great deal of spirit and az gressiveness was manifest, and 1t was
 soon learned that action was to be
 taken and all the delegates sent to
 Washington that could be possibly
 gotten there.
 It was ascertained that Oklahoma
 had hundreds of citizens there work
 ing for tthe bill, and that New Mexico
 was credited with 200 men on the ground in the interests of joint state
 hood, Letters to this effect were, read from Senators and Representa- tives in CVongress, friendly 10 Ari- zona, only three Representatives there opposing the bill. Delegate Mark Smith, Cakes Murphy and one other
 by chance in Washington. These Con gressmen urged that large delegations
 be sent immediately to give expres-
 sion to tthe public sentiment of this territory.
 It was decided to respond to this appeal at once and have prominent men from all counties to go as fast and in as great numbers as possible. i Secretary Roy Goodrich of tthe anti
 joint statehood league was instructed
 to leave at once for Washington and open headquarters. Other volunteers | to the number of 15 or 20 are to leave ouayr DS Hily will be on their way to the national capital.
