argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman friends and
nelghbors 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
1t, for always before they had given
1t away freely. They hired a lob
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
the medicine were, to a 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. 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
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-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of womans ills, viii .. for
authenticity and accuracy can Idly
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 its origira-
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.
Pinlham continues this great work 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"

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.

HIGH SUBSCRIBERS.

Architect Bruce Price once planned
Tor the New York World a hypotheti-
cal skyscraper 1000 stories nigh. He
demonstrated that there was no limit
TO the theoretical height of steel
skeleton construction. But builders
nave found several practical limits
which they cannot pass just at pres
ent These limits are controlled by
the economics of operation. 1t has
been demonstrated that buildings
higher than twenty stories cannot be
operated at a maximum percentage OF
profit. This is due chiefly to the
limitations of elevator service. From
twenty to twenty-five stories is the
highest that present elevator con
trlVances are usually relied on for
proper service. Above the twentieth
story, as a rule, secondary battery
OF elevators is needed. When there
are only few stories to be served a
small secondary battery has been
found satisfactory. With ten or
more stories for such secondary sery-
ice, however, the extra area needed
for the elevator plant subtracts so
much from the rentable area of the
building that the income is some
times said to fall below the rate
which is returned by smaller build.
lngs. New inventions may, however,
at any time modify this limitation.
Fire risks are heavier for very tall
buildings because the fire department
is not able to cope with flames on
the upper floors. The construction
becomes more costly on account Oh
these factors Nevertheless, the
immense value of ground space, fire
proof construction, new elevator de-
vices and the spirit of enterprise are
constantly modifying mere theories
of this sort and no one can predict
the height to which the skyscrapeI
of the future may safely and profit
ably rise

A Verbal Message by Mail.

Instead Of sending a cold and more
or less formal written letter to a dis
tant loved one, it is now possible to
send by mail a verbal message, which
may be as warm and thrilling as the
sender desires, says a writer in the
Technical World Magazine This has
been made possible by the invention
of three Frenchmen NM. Bucherioux,
Marotte, and Tochow, who have per-
fected a photograph record of suffici-
ent hardness to go through the mans,
withstand the hard usage of the post,
and be ready to voice the message it
contains upon delivery at its destin-
alton. A material called "sonorine,' y
which has all the advantages of wax,
and the added quality Of being indie
structible, is spread upon cards, which
conform to pOstoffice regulations ana
requirements Then the chemically
prepared card is laid fat, and the voice
is thrown into a small funnel, through
which it passes to the registering
needle The record is made by spir-
al, which begins writing at one edge
of the card and travels toward its cen

Sonorine has not yet been introdu-
ced in America, but no doubt will be

New Weapon For Our Navy.

"The high-speed turbine torpedo re-
Gently adopted and now being manu-
featured for the government" writes
L. E. Zeh in the Technical World Mag
azine. "gives to the United States
Navy one of the most powerful and
destructive sea weapons in the world.
This new submarine missile, owing to
the terrific pace it can sustain while
in flight through the water, and the
long distance it will travel, is to take
the place of the Whitehead torpedo
formerly in use"
The superior strategic advantages
of the Bliss Leavitt turbine in naval
warfare over all other types now il
existence, are its surprising speed
and longer range. Four thousand
Yards is the extreme distance it will
travel, $500 yards being the guaran-
teed contract range; at 1900 yards the
speed is SO knots. The turbine has
on excess speed gain of more than 25
per cent, while going double the dis
lance of the latest Whitehead, which
has speed of only % knots and a
range of 1000 yards. The United
States government has authorized
several millions of dollars to be eX-
pended for the purchase and construc-
ton of 400 torpedoes Of this type,
which in the future will be the only
one used in the navy.
