TEN YEARS OF PAIN.
Unable to Do Even Housework Be
muse of Kidney Troubles.
Mrs. Atargaret Emmerich, of Clinton
O., says: “For fif
teen years I was a
great sufferer from
kidney troubles. My
back pained me ter
ribly. Every turn
or move caused
sharp shooting
pains. My eyesight
was poor, dark
spots appeared be*
fore me. and I had dizzy spells. For
ten years I could not do housework,
and for two years did not get out of
the house. The kidney secretions
were irregular, and doctors were not
helping me. Doan's Kidney Pills
brought me quick relief, and finally
cured me. They saved my life.”

Mix Soap With Dough.
From a communication read to the
Association of Belgian Chemists it
seems that continental bakers are in
the habit of mixing soap with their
dough to make their bread and pastry
nice and light. The quantity of soap
varies greatly. In fancy articles like
waffles and fritters it is much larger
than in bread.
BABY’S AWFUL HUMOR.
Thin Skin Formed 0 «er Body and Un
der It Was Watery Blood—Cured in
One Week by Cuticura Remedies.
“When my little girl baby was one
week old she had a skin disease. A
thin skin formed over her body and
under it was watery blood, and when
she was washed it would burst and
break. She was in that condition for
weeks, and I tried everything I could
think of, but nothing did her any
good. When she was three months
old I took her to San Antonio to sec
a doctor, but the doctor we wanted to
*ee was not at home, so my sister
gave me a cake of Cuticura Soap and
half a box of Cuticura Ointment, and
told me to use them, which I did in
time. I used them three times, and
the humor began to fade, and in one
week she was sound and well, and it
has never returned since. I think
every mother should keep the Cuti

PHOTOGRAPHY AND FINE ART.
Camera Pictures Much More Than Me
chanical Reproduction.
Few persons could be found who
would deny the claims of photography
to rank among the fine arts, when
skillully used and properly controlled,
since the photography of of to-day is
something more than a mechanical re
production. The individuality of the
photographer is being expressed in
his work almost as much as is that of
the painter. The painter still has the
advantage, for while he may give us
an impression fuller than that made by
nature upon the eye, the photographer
can deal only with that which is ob
served with such unerring fidelity and
skill by a mechanical eye. Composi
tion is therefore one of the necessary
principles to the photographer, who
thus supplies the mechanical eye with
a mind, yet he must study lighting at
different hours of the day and varying
weather conditions that he may know
the best effects to be obtained. Many
otherwise successful photographers
need to realize that scientific accuracy
is not necessarily artistic truth, so
that, while one actualizes, the definite
•harpness may be softened and the ef
feet ennanced.—Home Magazine.

NEW YEAR’S CALLS.
A New Drink to Replace the Old-Tirne
"Apple-Jack.”
Twenty-five years ago the custom of
making New Year's calls was a de
lightful one for all concerned, until
‘ some of the boys got more “egg-nog”
or “apple-jack” than they could suc
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charit
able and the gentlemen tried to be
as chivalrous as ever and stand up at
the same time.
If anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made in the
last, quarter of a century in the use
of alcoohlic beverages, let him stop
to consider, among other things, the
fact that the old custom of New Year's
calls and the genteel tippling is nearly
obsolete.
The custom of calling on one's
friends, however, at the beginning of
the new year, is a good habit, and an
other good habit to start at that time
is the use of well-made Postum in
stead of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has a sen
sible- daughter who has set Postum
before her guests as a good thing to
drink at Yule Tide, and a good way
to begin the New Year. Her father
writes:
"My daughter and I have used
Postum for some time past, and we
feel sure it contains wholesome food
material.
"I shall not only recommend it to
my patients, but my daughter will be
most pleased to give a demonstration
cf Postum to our Christmas and New
Year's callers.” Read “The Road t<i

EXCELLENT RECORD OF WEST
ERN SOCIETIES.
Colorado Claims the Best Association
for the Protection of Children and
Animals—Other States to
Take That as Model.
In a paper read before the thirtieth
annual meeting of Ihe American Hu
mane association, held at Chicago, H.
S. Mann of Omaha made the follow
ing statements:
With two or three exceptions there
are humane organizations in all the
states and territories west of the
Mississippi, but many of them are
local and active only in a city or
county, and some exist nnlv in name.
it is claimed that Colorado has tjie
best state organization for the pro
tection of children and animals, in
that it accomplishes under its sys
tem—covering a large field—more re
sults for the money expended than any
other humane organization in the
country. The Colorado Humane so
ciety, without losing its existence or
identity as a corporate body, was in
1001 constituted by act of legislature
"The State Board of Child and Ani
mal Protection.” The governor, at
torney-general and superintendent of
public instruction are cx-officio mem
bers of the board of directors. The
state appropriates 52.500 to $3,000 a
year, and other receipts make up a
revenue for the society of about. $5,
000. Seven hundred and fourteen
agents arc scattered throughout the
state, remote parts being looked after
about as well as in the city of Den
ver. Perhaps in no other stale is
serious effort made to enforce the
law fov child and animal protection
in small communities and in rural
districts the same as in the cities.
The Nebraska society has decided
to ask the next legislature for a state
board of child and animal protection.
Montana has one modeled on the
Colorado plan, with the essential dif
ference that its officers are political
appointees, and, as a consequence,
generally inefficient.
There are very active organizations
in Kansas City, St. Joseph, Minneap
olis, St. Paul, Des Moines. Omaha,
San Francisco, Los Angeles and Port
land. Council Bluffs is about to or
ganize a society with the mayor for
president and the chief of police as
one of its directors.
Eight western states have specified
laws in relation to the docking of
horses' tails, viz.: Nebraska, Iowa,
Minnesota, Utah, Colorado, Washing
ton, Oregon and California. The laws
on the subject enacted in some of
these states are not practical, as un
der them, in order to successfully
prosecute, it is necessary to catch
the offender in the act. In Nebraska
a reward of $,>0 is ottered for evidence
that will convict of this offense. The
Michigan law, passed in 1901, and
the Colorado act of 1S99 should bo
considered by ns in asking for legis
lation in the future.
Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado and Ore
gon have specific laws prohibiting the
use of live birds for targets. In Cali
fornia about four years ago our
friends secured a conviction under the
general cruelty act for shooting pig
eons released from traps.
California. Colorado, Missouri and
Oklahoma have humane education
laws. The statement has been made
that the Oklahoma law is the best
in the country.
Child labor is not the grave propo
sition with the west that it is in the
sast and in the south, and we do not
hear ot much complaint. In many
cities the truant officer or other of
ficial makes a regular inspection of
factories and other places where chil
dren may he employed to see that
the law is not violated. In all our
cities there are various institutions
lhat look after the welfare of chil
dren.
Every winter 40,000,000 helpless cat
tle suffer for want of food and drink
on the western ranges between the
Missouri river and the Pacific ocean,
and very little is being done, outside
ot the state of Colorado, to relieve
this condition of affairs. This and the
transportation question are the great
est problems in the humane work of
the western stites.
Increasing Age of Heroines.
"The age of the heroine in novels,”
we are told, "has been steadily going
up. There was a time when the young
girl of 17 or 20 was the only possible
heroine of a romance. Now she may
figure in a story, but it will be more
as a side character than as the 'lead
ing lady.’ ” There are doubless fash
ions in these things. The ugly he
roine came in about the middle of the
ast century. She is now, poor girl,
no more. She flourished with the
ugly hero, which was surely rather
hard fortune for both of them. The
thought of a procession of aged her
oines seems to suggest a deeper seri
ousness than we have been used to.
That, however, may do us no harm.
His Claim for Help.
Dr. Lawrence, bishop of Massachu
setts, says that he received a letter
from a man in prison who asked him
for help in getting out of it. "You
ought to come,” the culprit wrote, “for
I did a great favor for you 'ast win
ter. When your portrait was being
painted, the artist hired me as a lav
figure, and i stood in your robes for
hours together. It was the hardest
job I ever did.” "I agreed with him,”
the bishop says. "There is no harder
job; but I could not get him out on
that plea.”

WHO SHE WAS
SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF LYDIA E. PINKHAM
And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound
Had Its Birth and How the “Panic of *73” Caused j
it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores.
This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass., February Oth, 1819, com
ing from a good old Quaker family.
For some years she taught school, and
became known as a woman of an alert
and investigating1 mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa
thetic nature.
In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, nature’s own remedies—
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
erties of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. l’inkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to lind them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out.
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a. rare combina
tion of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs fonnd best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu
liar to the female sex. and Lydia E.l 'ink
ham’s friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its lengt h and severity were too
much for the la rge real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen
nial year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkliam’s
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to
restore the family fortune. They |
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were steeped on the stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
ily had saved enough money to com
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to
day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vege
table Compound have become house
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventfiil expe- 1
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful topre- !
serve a record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice—
and there were thousands—received I
careful study, and the details, includ
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast eollabora
tion of information regarding the
treatment of woman’s ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her 1
daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. ,
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when its origina
tor passed away. For nearly twenty- j
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the j
first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her t
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, j
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work, and
probably from the office of no other
person have so many women been ad
vised how to regain health. Sick wo
men. this advice is "Yours for Health”
freely given if yon only write to ask
for it.
Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound ; made
from simple roots and herbs; the one
great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monument to the noble
woman whose name it bears.
