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

A visit to the laboratory where this
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, 600 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the seaeon of the year when
their patural juices and medicinal SUBJ
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 p 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
% 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.

1t is surprising how little word of praise

interest into the work of those around us.

Dear M. B. Friends:
We are quite accustomed to saying
Backward, turn backward,
o Time In your flight"
or forward" as the case may be, and we
return that borrowed hour and thus
settle the account.
Now new time proposition is being
launched on the public, as some of you
may have noticed in the papers. 1t may
have originated with one of those aspiring
individuals who ''elimb to new heights
while others sleep" However, it evidently
is intended to call public attention to
the new departure, as the association
which is engineering the campaign has
been Incorporated and has headquarters
at Minneapolis. In some OF the reports
it is called s'reform."
The scheme is named the Liberty

every month and thirteen months in the
year. Reckoning the days over Is in the
months of the present system, we find

Years day somew here, as it Is not in
Guided in any week or month; really to

Then, when leap year comes, the added
day will be called Correction day, which
is to be sandwiched in between convenient
dates. The plan is to introduce the
new month, which is to be called Liberty,
between February and March.
Joseph U. Barnes, president of the asso-
citation, calls the new arrangement a

dar. Every week will begin with Mon

: tent to wait until the improvements

Z attractiveness of the suburb itself
will attract the home buyers.

fing watched with peculiar interest by
.the employees of the Pennsylvania and
tthe Government Printing Office, which

: that attaches TO the property for these
epeople make the subdivision particu-
I. larly attractive to them.
: Seven trains stop at Cheverly each
way every day, and with the coming
Of peace it is expected that the pre-
war schedule of ten trains daily each
way will again be started. In addi-
ton to the railroad the subdivision is
within a fifteen-minute walk Of a car
line to Washington.
, Construction gangs are now at work
clearing the brush and cutting the
streets at Cheverly. Following them
will come the road builders and
graders.
