The legislature OF Maryland this
winter passed a law which IS being
closely watched by telegraph opera
tors in all states, and in West Vir-
ginia in particular. for a similar law
was passed in this State several years
ago. but was declared unconstitution-
al. Aiaryland's law is that no tele-
graph operator shall work over eight
hours day. whereas they now work
twelve The law is to 80 into force
on June the first. It is hailed with de-
light by all operators. but none OF
them think that it is worth anything,
for they feel sure that the railroad
company VIII not comply with it, but
will make a test case. and thus delay
its execution at least several years
However, outside OF Maryland the law
is being watched with interest to see
how it would work elsewhere.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
ell, possessed Of 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 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-
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
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 a 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.
ALI 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. 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
