The Same Old Rations.

Subsistence supplies OF a kind simi.
lar to those now used by the army in
the Philippines and Porto Rico will be
used by the army in Cuba in the event
Of Intervention by the United States.
The troops will be given In rations

they ought to have for service In tropi.
cal countries.
Some military observers marveled at
the wonderful amount of work accom-
plished by the Japanese soldiers on a
diet of rice and dried fish. 1t was sug.
Yested that American soldiers when
performing services in tropical coun'
tries ought to be given large amount
OF rice in their rations. This question
was considered by the army authori'
ties, and they decided adversely to tho
rice diet. A strong, sustaining Amer.
ican ration will be given the soldiers
II they go to Cuba-just as good ra'
tion as now is served to them at their
stations in this country. No chances
will be taken on creating discomfort
among the troops by denying to them
proper things to eat to which they
have been accustomed.

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. did not
take much notice of it 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.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as I would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep 1t irrtated. and it
was not long before | could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks l would take hot bath every
night ard then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and
kept getting better. and by the time
used four boxes of Cuticura | was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out. d. f. Blankenship. 3l9

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all. possessed of q wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a 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 a physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and eN-
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinliham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature 50
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
il was her pleasure to search these out.
ana prepare SltnfDIe dliNi thSStlNc llcNl-

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.
All this so far yasdone freely, with
out money and without price, as
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity We're 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 f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
TO the world.
The three sons and the daughter
with their mother, combined forces 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 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.
Then came the question of selling
it. for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired q job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia f. Pinkham's
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York. and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties OF
the medicine were, to u great extent,
sclf-advcrtising for whoever used it
recommended tito others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
ily had saved enough money to com
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success OF
BE enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia Il PinlSham 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. Pinltham herself did not
Hive 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-
licuce she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful topre-
serve n 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
today these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over. and represent n vast collabora
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equHled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia r. Pinlsham worked her
daughter in law. the present Mrs.
in all her hardwon 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

Keen Competition Among Colorado
SmeIters,

Colorado Is in a position to have the
ores from her mines treated In smelt-
ers that are under variety of differ
ent manaSements. There are eight
smelters, all told, in operation in the
state, and three of these are independ-
ent Of all the others, and five are un-
der the management of the American
Smelling and Refining Company.
There is an independent smelter Mt Sa.
Ida, one in Denver, and one in Silver
ton, all running in good shape, which
permits the miner TO sell his ore wher-
ever he wishes.
A great deal of harm has been done
In the East by the statement that peo-
pie investing in mines In Colorado
were under the restraint of being com
PEELED to have their ores treated in
smelters that were all under one man
aSement. AS matter of fact. there is
plenty of competition and that keeps
down the cost of smelling. and gives
the man with money invested in mines
every opportunity 10 thrive.
The American Smelling and Refln-
ipg Company has twenty-five plants
scattered about in the United States
and Old Mexico, but claims 1t is
not making any great profits off of its
Colorado invo ostments, because the
competition here with the Independent
plants is SO brisk, besides the ores
of Colorado are proyerbially low grade.
and the working charge at the smelt-
ers is necessarily made on a minimum
basis.
The American Smelling and Rein
Ing Company, which is in part con-
trolled by the Guggenheims, is about
to spend a million dollars in the state
to put in a new system of mechanical
roasters, and has ample confidence in
the future of Colorado. The company
has idle plants in Denver, Pueblo and
Leadville, which were constructed at a
large expense, and which will be
called into requisition as the mining
interests in the state grow and metals
advance. Just now they are tre-
mendous charge upon the companies
that built them. and the fact that they
are kept ready to operate on short no.
tice shows how fully their builders
are confident in the future of this great
mining state.

LOOSE TEETH

Proper food nourishes every part of
