The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS y
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the rel-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman s ills.
Over $4,000 pounds of,various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best. ...
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs. s..... ...
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as a final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
SO successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

charge of educational matter in the
past has been the policy of living
Within the letter of the law as re-
CARDS education. Now the idea is
changing, partly as a reslIt of the
war. The necessity of a more liberal
policy in the matter of education be-
coming more apparent daily.
Throughout the State of Connecticut
and even beyond state boundaries
New Britain has high standing on
account of its school system. Given
The support of the taxpayers of the
city the school board will strive to
maintain the present high standing.
The new building will be inspected
by the school board soon after it's
completion and there will then be an
inspection by the city officials. The
public will finally be invited to visit
it and a pubic. entertainment will be
held.
The building is now complete and
Workmen are getting it ready for oc-
cupancy. The school officials will
probably have a public inspection this
week. The time for the opening to
the public has not been determined.
If the children now attending other
schools will be assigned to it.

purposes completely separated by
means of brick walls from the main
structure. Two massive boilers are
installed, but it is believed that the
building can be heated with one.
There is ample bunker room for the
storage of coal.
The corridors throughout the
building are laid with kompolite
fioring material, a composition re
sembling concrete, but much more
elastic. All plaster work is painted.
A light tint of buff is used in the
classrooms. The walls to the height
of ordinary wainscoting are painted a
deeper shade of brown. The wood
work is oak and painted brown to
match the color scheme. The school
furniture is a serviceable shade that
harmonizes. The hall furniture is a
dark green. All furniture in the
classroOms is movable, so that if it is
desired at any time to shift the class
rooms it may be done with greater
ease. The building is fireproof con-
struction throughout.
The platoon plan of teaching
adopted in the city schools about a
year ago has worked out to great
satisfaction and will be used In the
new building.
Growth of Schools.
Since Supt. Holmes took charge of
the schools Of New Britain the school
population has increased seventy-fi
per cent. During his administrat ton
the new Prevocational and Vocational
High schools were built. The new
Smalley school was built and addi-
at ho
well, Monroe, Lincoln, East Osgood
and Smith school buildings. The
erection of a building in the Camp
district is already contemplated and
land for the site has been acquired.
The principal increase in the
school population has been in the
High and Grammar grades and this
1act helps to illustrate q result ac-
ccmplished partly through the de-
Velopment of the community spirit.
Children now remain in school for
longer period than formerly. The
fact that the educational scrap
heap is not now SO large reflects
great credit on the city and those
having the educational system in
charge. The advantage offered in
the school system, is, of course, a
big factor in accounting for the
presence of children in school for
longer periods
At this time there Is measure
under consideration In England to
compel attendance at school until the
ago of IS years. While approving the
idea of keeping children in school as
long as possible Supt. Holmes Is not
prepared to say he would favor com
pulory school attendance up to the
age of IS. He points out that the
enactment of such a law in this coun-
try would involve considerable diff

REVISING LAWS ON
admitting ALIENS
Many Fighting for Allies Would
Be Barred Otherwise

Washington, May 6.--The double
hazard which aliens risk in going
into the war on the side Of the allied
powers is to be remedied by legisla-
ton for which Legislative ways were
smoothed today in the house. A bill
fer the purpose, introduced by Rep
resentative Slayden, of Texas has the
unanimous backing of the immigra-
ton committee, and Speaker Clark
agreed to give recognition today for
a motion to suspend the rules and
let the bill up for immediate pas
s&ge.
The aliens now face the peril of
being killed in battle or of being shot
as traitors if captured If they are
Ionorably discharged and take off
their uniforms over there and some
r1cnths afterward try to come back
into this country they are liable to
be barred on the ground that they
may become public charges. Chair
man Burnett, of the immigration
committee, believes that the immi-
grafton law barriers should be let
down in these cases in the interest
Of national appreciation of patriot
ism.
When the war began there were
aliens lawfully residing In the United
states, many Of them from Polish
territory under the political control
of Germany, Austria and Russia, as
well as Czecho-Slovaks, also subjects
to the Austro-Hungarian or German
governments. Some of them had de-
CIared their intentions to become
American citizens while others had
not, although possibly meaning ul-
tiIr ately to become so.
Many Poles, o-Slovaks and
Slavs went to Europe in 1914 and
Joined the forces of Serbia, Britain or
France, to fight the government that
they regarded as the oppressors OF
their people.

HEALTH TALK
Spanish Influenza or Grip
BY DR.. LEE II. SMITH.

An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight German or germ, we
must put up good fight, and not be afraid.
The influenza runs very brief course
when the patient is careful, and if we keep
the system in good condition and throw
off the poisons which tend to accumulate
within our bodies, we can escape the dis
ease. Remember these three Cs-a clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels.
10 carry off poisons from the system and
keep the bowels loose, daily doses of q
pleasant laxative should be taken. Such
one is made of May-apple, leaves Of aloe,
root of jalap, and called DR.. PIERCE Pleas
ant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by . cold, and the pa
tent should be put to bed after hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack Of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two hours
with lemonade. The Anuric tablets
were first discovered by DR.. Pierce, and,
as they flush the bladder and cleanse tie
kidneys, they carry away much of the poi
sons and the uric acid.
1t IS important that broths, milk, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet be.given
regularly to strengthen the system and in.
crease the vital resistance. The fever il
diminished by the use of the Anuric tab
lets, but in addition, the forehead. arms
and hands may be bathed with water
(tepid) in which tablespoonful of sal.
aratus has been dissolved in quart. After
an attack of grip or pneumonia to
build up and strengthen the system, obtain
at the drug store good iron tonic, called
'lrontic" Tablets, or that well known
herbal tonic. DR.. Piercc's Golden Medical
