the Monroe school, and Miss Country
man of the public library are con-
fronted by the grade crossings problem
in form that menaces the intellectual
development Of hundreds of children.
South Minneapolis children want to
read; they are hungry for juvenile liter
allure; they want to read "Uncle Tom s
they want mt to read about .'st
they have heard Of. They are simply
begging for books. With the help Of
the public library, their great desire
for literature probably will be gratifed,
for it is the intention of Miss Country
man to work hand in hand with the
Twenty-third avenues s and the Seward
schools to find proper solution of this
question to the satisfaction of the
young generation Of the South Side.
Twenty-third avenue S and the Seward
school at Twenty fourth street and
Twentyeighth avenue s, are located in
populous districts which never heard
about race suicide. The buildings are
overcrowded at almost all times. Near

schools is the South Side library sta

South Minneapolis simply will not allow
| their children to cross the tracks alone
as there is the ever-present danger of
accidents. Mothers are busy women
few can accompany their children tc
the reading room, and the little people
are shut off completely from such an
advantage.
Miss Weston, who is very much ir
sympathy with the children and their
interests, has appealed to the librarian
to see What can be done in the matter

for the purpose. Should the parties in

Utilizing Sharks Teeth.

The natives on some Of the Pacific
islands, being provided with neither
metals nor any stone harder than the
coral rocks Of which the atolls they
inhabit are composed would seem bad
ly off, indeed, for material of which
to make tools or weapons, were it not
that their very necessity has bred an
invention no less ingenious than cur
iOus and effective. This is the use of
sharks teeth to give cutting edge to
their wooden knives and swords. The
mouth of the shark contains three hun
dred teeth arranged in five rows, all
closely lying upon each other, except
the outer row, and so constructed that
as one tooth is broken or lost ann' her
takes it's place. The teeth are not only
pointed and keen-edged, but are finely
and regularly serrated, so that the cut
ting power is greatly increased. In
deed, so great a faculty have these
teeth for Wounding that the implements
and weapons upon which they are used
have to be handled with great care
The Kingmill islanders make many
strange articles of sharks teeth.

She Forgot Her Name.

in there while downtown to order Wis
iting cards, which were to be engraved
in my future name. At the appointed
time I called to receive the cards and
pay for them, but, completely forget
ting the change Of nomenclature, I
asked for those Of Miss Aline Smith
''Of course, no such entry could be
found, as 1 had formerly had mine
struck off at another house. The clerk
searched through all his books, made
all possible inquiries, with many apol
Ogies for the oversight, which he was
totally at a loss to account for. I.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1943 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
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 a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won
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.
All 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

Answer for the Automobiles.

On one of the popular automobile
routes from Portland to the White
Mountains, and just beyond the village
Of Bridgton, Me-, a large car drew
up one day last summer 1t contained,
supposedly, four gentlemen, evidently
from the city, who were going to have
some fun with the gray-haired farmer
who was moving by the roadside.
After obtaining information as to
their route, one of the occupants bois-
terously cried out: "Well, Uncle,
suppose you have lived all your life
here, haven't you?'
'Why, no; not yet" was the quiet
answer, and the car started on.-Bos-

DR.. r. v. PIERCE GETS VERDICT
Jury V1nd1cateS EEFavOrite Prescrfp-
ton" from Attack of Ladies'
Home journal.

Jury V1ndicates 'FavOrite Prescrip-
ton" from Attack of Ladies'
Home Journal.
The trial Of the first libel suit grow
ing out of the attacks on patent
medicines has resulted in a verdict for
the plaintiff. The first case to come to
trial was that of the DR.. Pierce COM
pany against the Ladies' Home Journal,
and the jury found the Ladies' Home
Journal guilty Of libel and fixed $4,000
as the damages it should pay. A mo-
ton was Immediately made by the DR..
Pierce company to have this verdict set
aside and the case retired, the grounds
being that the verdict was insufficient.
This motion is yet to be argued.
The article on which the suit was
based was printed in the Ladies' Home
Journal, and was to the effect that
the Pierce medicines contained alcohol,
digitalis and opium. 1t was shown
that they contain none of these drugs,
and Mr.. Box admitted, on the stand,
that after the article was printed he
had caused analysis to be made by
three chemists and none could find a
trace of the drugs mentioned.
