FINALLY SUBDUE FOREST FIRE
Thousands of Volunteers Overcome
ConfIaoration Which Threatened
Overwhelming Destruction.

A forest fire that threatened, in 13
days of unilnpeded destruction, to con-
sumo the whole of Angeles national
forest, in southern California, was
finally brought under control by the
desperate efforts of hundreds of volun-
teers. The unceremOniOus drafting of
curiosity seekers swelled the ranks of
the fighters until, in one district alone,
around Pomona, more than 1000 were
working day and night to stay the on
rushing flames. The kindling Of tre
mendOus back fires at critical points,
guided by airpiane inspection, sue
ceeded in holding the fires within the
originating area. Many resorts and
summer homes were menaced, but
only q few cabins were lost. AS a re-
suit of the fire, the city waterworks
of Pasadena is to be protected by a
giant firebreak, which will be con-
structed Immediately by the rangers

DREW NO STRONG HYPOCRlTE
acter From ShaIeespeare's Pages
Explained by English Novelist.

Material for discussion among those
who more or less know their Shake
speare has been provided by Sir Wal
ter Raleigh's suggestion on the lecture
platform that Shakespeare created no
complete and carefully drawn figure
of a hypocrite because the dramatist
had had a free and happy childhood.
"It is the child" says Sir Walter, "whO
sees hypOcrites;" and so, as one fol-
lows the argument at second hand in
the column of newspaper, Dickens,
who had a harsher childhood, was
more impressed by hypocrisy, and later
wrote about hypocrites. One suspects,
however, that there may be readers
who will deny that Shakespeare failed
to include the hypOcrite in his remark
able gallery of dramatic portraits.
Hypocrisy certainly figures; one has
oily to recall the behavior of GlOster
or IagO to find the characteristic, but
Sir Walter no doubt has ground for
his conviction that the plays contain
no figure dominated by it.

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

A visit to the laboratory where thie
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli.
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 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.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It 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.
