HERBS USED In MEDICINES.

A Manchester, England, paper
urges the renewed cultivation OF
old fashioned medicinal herbs in
English sgardens. In the United
States they have also gone out of
fashion as feature of the small
garden, although they are imported
in large quantities from Turkey,
India and China. where they are
grown purely for commercial pur-
poses, as their medicinal value is
recognized by many leading physi-
clans. Tons of medicinal herbs are
used annually in the preparation of
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, a most successful medicine
for woman's ills. 1t contains no
narcotics or harmful drugs, and
women afflicted with such ailments
should try it.-(Advertisement.)

May Save Princeton Crew


Princeton, n. j.. May 1.-THE joy
over the crew victory is still appar-
ent in Princeton Sunday and the
sole topic of conversation is the de-
feat of the Navy on Saturday. But
probably the happiest man in all the
college and town is DR.. j. Duncan
Spaeth. director of rowing, whose pol
icy in regard to varsity crews was so
overwhelmingly indicated.
At the present, indications are that
Captain Cresswelrs boat which won
the junior varsity race on Saturday
for Princeton, will be sent as the I'll
ger varsity to New York next Satur-
day for the Childs' cup race. This will
allow Doctor Spaeth to row Lehs
boat, which conquered the worlds
champion Navy against Cornell and
Yale at Ithaca, May q, and against
California on June 4. 1t is not yet
known here tonight whether a great
victory bonfire will celebrate the
Princeton victory of Saturday.
In statement Sunday Doctor
Spaeth said: Il am very we'll pleased,
OF course, with the Princeton crews
for this was one of the most import
ant regattas of the year. Heine Leh
stroked a great race and showed keen
Judgment, but you must not forget
that he was backed to the limit By
every other man in the boat"
Only two of the Princeton oarsmen
in Leh's crew had won their "P" be-
fore. Sid Milne. at No 3, and Harold
Brigham, at No. I. The other men
We're comparatively new to varsity
rowing. Stroke Leh himself having
been at No. last year in the junior
varsity.
