TORNADO IN GEORGIA.
Several Negroes Killed and Damage
Is Considerable.

Albany, Ga, Jan. 5.A tornado of
terrific force passed over Albany, COM
ing from a southwesterly direction
and spreading ruin and desolation
over portions of a dozen blocks.
Two negroes are dead and several
other persons will die as the result Of
injuries and many are more or less
seriously hurt.
It is difficult to estimate the prop
erty loss. The Virginia Carolina Chem
ical company is the principal sufferer,
Its destroyed buildings and machinery
having been worth probably $6O,O00
It is safe to say that the total loss will
exceed $l50,O0O.

STRAW HATS SOLD IN WINTER
For Wear in Florida, Where the Straw
Hat Season Has Already Opened.

I'VE always carry Il good stock OF
straw hats i'll winter" said a New York

more straw hats we sell. Tie simple
reason for this is that in such a season
more people go south, and il is to people
going well south that we sell straw hats

would find some straw hats worn in that

straw hats are now commonly worn and
are required for comfort
THE straw hat stocks that we carry
i'll winter here and ut our agencies in
Florida are not of hats left over from
the stocks of the preceding season here,
but advance supplies of new, fresh goods
from stocks made up for the succeeding
season. The straw hat season in this
country really opens III Florida in win
ter and the hats we are now selling for
wear there are of the styles of 1906,
such as VIII become lamiunr here later,
when, III due time, the straw s"asOn

we begin making straw hats the
next years trade on August ID SAID n
straw hat manufactures. and this work
goes on actively all through the fan and
winter. When people here in New York
are going around in heavy overcoats and
furs we are selling straw hats for future
delivery, and the distribution of straw
hats to more distant southern points be
gins III winter, SO that the jobbers and
retailers at these points may have their
stocks ready for the opening of the sea

"Thc straw hat season opens in Flor
ida, not only for the tourists, but for
dwellers in the state, about February !.
In New Orleans and Mobile and along
the gulf, they begin to wear straw hats

was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were STEPPED on the stove,
gradually filing a 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 f. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
oston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, to great extent,
sclfadvertising, 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

hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia f. 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 a record of every case that came to
her attention The ca>e of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there We're 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 a vast cOllabora-
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 f. Pinllham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
pinl:ham. 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 origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing l. the work shows when the
first Lydia Z. 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.
Pinkham continues this great work and

and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham,
q 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, nature own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent eases. 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 a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature 50
beautifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetab BILE 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-
prcssly designed to cure the various
Ills anu weaknesses OF the DDuN, ana
ii 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, ana Lydia +. 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
labor Of love.
But in 1879 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
crty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinlharl's

Prosperity All over the Dominion.
Ottawa, Ontario, March 1.-The year
which has just closed has been one
most satisfactory and progressive with
the financial institutions Of Canada,
and the business Of the chartered banks
reflects the unprecedented prosperity
enjoyed throughout the country during
the year 1908.
The increased demands made upon
the banks Of the Dominion by the com
mercial and agricultural expansion of
the year were provided for without the
monetary disturbances sometimes noted
in the United States. Whatever opin-
ions may be held as to the composition
Of the Canadian banking system, 1t is
claimed that its flexible currency has
many commendable features, and with
ont which the last few months of the
year must have produced a money
striugency with probably disastrous re-
suits. 1t is felt that a wider field of
credit in the Dominion is needed, and
consequently the capital of many exist
ing banking institutions has been in
creased and several new banks are in
process of organization.
The chartered banks of Canada to-
day enjoy the confidence of the general
public 10 greater extent than ever be-
fore. The total deposits Of the people
In these institutions last year were
$522,3l7 900, which shows an increase
OF over S56,0O0,00O for the year. In
actual money in bank probably no otn-
er country in the world, comparatively
speaking, can make a better showing
than Canada.
The total deposits of the Canadian
people in the government savings
banks, III special savings institutions,
and in the chartered banks alone
amounted last year to the enormous
sum of S609, 454, 600 This represents
an average credit balance Of over 500
per head Of the population of the Do
minion, and it Is stated that the only
other country in the world that ap-
proaches this record is Denmark, where
the average credit balance Is about
5000 per capita. The above figures,
however, do not comprehend moneys
