Longest on Record

The Sixth field battery of the II. S.
artillery, commanded by Capt c. w
G2tchell. entered Fort Sam Houston
Friday amid the cheers of the local
garrison. The battery broke the worlds
record for long distance practice
march of artillery, having covered the
estimated LOO miles from Fort Riley,
kas.. TO Fort Sam Houston, Texas, in
80 DAYS.
1t is by far the longest practice
march ever made by artillery in time
of peace, and no forced march in
time Of war with the exception Of Ma
poleon's retreat from Moscow, COM
pares with it in distance.
The artillerymen of the Sixth bat
terry were a sorry appearing set of
men when they arrived. Their
clothes were in tatters and so covered
with mud and dirt that the color of the
cloth could not be distinguished The
men are haggard and lean. Many of
them were scarcely able TO travel. The
horses resembled moving skeletons.
The battery encountered severe
rains and floods in Indian Territory
and North Texas. They had a hard
time fording some streams, owing to
their swollen condition. A blizzard
swept down upon the battery last Mon
day morning. just after 1t left Austin
Ii continued daring nearly all OF the
remainder of the march TO San An
tonic, about 90 miles. The men walked
nearly the whole distance in order TO
keep warm.
The battery lost one man. Private
Arthur Hall, during the march. He
died in the hospital at Austin from
malaria, caused. according 10 the
statement of physicians who attended
him, by exposure and hardships en-
countered on the march.

YOUNG MAN HAS BEEN MOST
STRIKING PERSONALITY IN
THE CAMPAIGN.
CAAMBERLlN ALONE SEEMS TO
KEEP UP HIS SPIRITS IN
SLUMP TO LIBERALS.

A London dispatch SAYS: The defeat
of Mr.. Balfour, running ,on the Conser-
vatiYe ticket in the eastern division of
Manchester. by the Liberal and free
trade candidate, Mr.. Hnrridge, and the
election Of Winston Churchill, beside
the announcement of Liberal sue
oesses in l6 other contests Saturday,
not including four seats won by Labor
candidates, is hailed by the Liberals
as a clear proof of their! assertion that
the country is .rallying against protec-
tion. Mr.. Balfour was defeated by near
ly 1000 votes.
No individual politician in the king
dom has made such rapid strides to-
ward a predominant position as has
Winston Churchill during the last few
months. II has been partly matter
'of skillful stage management as in the
dramatic publication last week of his
brilliantly written life of his gifted
father, and partly the effect of a force
ful and magnetic personality which
has captured the most crusted old
Manchester merchants for the Liberal
cause
AT Manchester Winston Churchill
used all his influence against Mr.. Bal
four, as TO the crucial issue of the
,campaign-a contradiction the late
Lord Randolph Churchill could never
have conceived as among the remotest
political possibilities.

NO GOOD To ISLANDS.

Reps. Loud and Young, of Michigan,
delivered lengthy speeches in tie
house in opposition to the Philippine
tariff bill and both were applauded and
warmly congratulated by members on
both sides OF the house.
Rep. Loud, who was member OF
the Taft party on the trip to the orient,
said that the bill in its present form
would be of no practical benefit TO the
Filipinos He is in favor of amending
the present bill by restoring the %
per cent reduction, which would make
the duty on sugar the same as IL was
under the Dingley law. He also favors
turning the money collected under this
clause into The Philippine treasury to
be expended in aiding the sugar manu-.
facturers in that country 10 improve
and strengthen their industry He says
that by so doing the Filipinos would
be greatly assisted and the sugar trust
would not profit as 1t will by the reduc-
tion in the tariff

Alpine Bird Compelled Thought Of

While among the dark, piney preci-

the famous John Ruskin saw for the
third time what he thought the most

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
litsse credit Their first laboratory
WAS the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were STEPPED on the stove,
gradually filing gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
IN, for always before they had given
III away freely. They hired a job
printer to run eff some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia L. Pin&ham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The vVonderfull.curativep properties OF
the medicine were, to great extent,
self-adrertising, for whoever used it
recommended 1t to others, and the de
mand gradually increased.
IN TS77, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to conn
meDoe newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured. until to-
dag Lydia ". Pinkham and her Nege-
table Compound have become house
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used iannu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia L. Pinkham herself did not
live TO see the great success Uf this
work. She passed to herreward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done 1t
herself
During her long and evcntful expe-
B'ience she was ever methodioal in her
work and she was always careful tOpre-
serve a record of every,case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were housands-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 a vast collabora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of womans ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy car hardly
be eqnaled in any library in the
world
With Lydia Il. Pinliham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
PinlIham- She wascarefully 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 Il. Pinkham dropped her
pen. and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of large family, took
il up With woman assistants. some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinl1ham continues this greatwork. and
probably from the office of no other
person have SO many women been adj
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is Yours for Health"

for it.
Such is the history of Lydia z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from simple roots and herbs the one

and the fitting monument TO the noble
woman whose name il bears

and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker afeer knowledge, and above
all, possessed OF "a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkhan.
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sens 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 physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and eX-
perience many OF them gained a won

Mrs Pinkham took q great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over,disease.

Chief OF these was rare cumbins-
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 Z
labor of love.
But in 1879 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. lis 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 IL found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had TO be found.
At this point Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
TO the world.
