THE MAKING OF A FAMOUS
MEDICINE.

Few people realize that over $780,
900 pounds of various herbs are used
annually in making Lydia f.. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, and
these herbs all have to be gathered
at the season of the year when their
medicinal properties are at their
best.
The ~watchword in preparing these
herbs is cleanliness, the process of
percolation is perfect. All utensils
and tanks are sterilized and the med
icine is pasteurized, clarified and fill
tered before it is bottled for the CON
sumner.
1t is this wonderful combination of
herbs, together with the skill and
care used in the preparation, which
has made this famous medicine so
successful in the treatment of female
ills.

Normal School Letter

To the Home Makers of Madison and Lake County:
The Normal School located in your midst was
organized and is maintained primarily to prepare
young people for teaching, but in connection with
this function, rather as a feature in this activity, the
institution maintains departments of instruction
having laboratory facilities and scientific apparatus.
1The teacher sin charge of these departments can
often help the public in scientific service without
in the least impairing their other work, that of
class instruction, to resident students. Our Agri-
cultural department has for several years given
proof of this fact and is doing considerable to help
those engaged in agriculture to improve farm meth
DDS and processes.
Our Department of Chemistry now comes for
ward with an offer to give courses of lectures dur
ing the current summe term on Chemistry of
Foods and Conservation of the same with special
reference to the needs of the hosekeeper. These
lectures will be an elementary presentation of APP
piled Chemistry to household arts. They should
prove invaluable at this critical time to every house
keeper in the county. Our plan is to offer two of
these lectures per week, on Tuesdays and on Thurs
day, at either 10 a. m. or 3 p. m, as may be most
convenient for those interested. We shall be
obliged to charge a small fee to those who enroll,
but not more than $500 for the term. No other
charge will be made. Those interested may apply
at the Executive Office for enrolment cards and
work will begin next Tuesday if there is is any
demand for this service which justifies carrying out
the program herein outlined.
