This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass., February 9th, 1 SI9, com
ing from a good old Quaker" family.
For some years she'taught school, and
became known as a woman of an alert
and investigating riiind, an ? earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
??aU,' possessed of a wonderfully sympa*'
' thehc nature. .. -,:
.In 1843 she married. Isaac Pmkham,
a- builder and real estate operator, and
their early marnc<| Iiiew.ts 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 ma?c?
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
cr ties of the various roots and herbs.
. Mrs. Pinkhara 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 find them, in the roots and herbs
of tlie field Lhere are remedies ex
pressly designed to cure the various
illa .and weaknesses of the. body, and1'
it was her pleasure to search, these ont,
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines, for her own family and friends;
Chief of these was a rare combina
tion of thc .'choicest medicinal ..roots
and herbs found -best adapted, fdr the
cure of th?'iUs and weaknesses pecu
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E.Pink
, ham's friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
AU. this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor cf love. .
But in 1873 thc financial crisis struck
Lynn. Ifslengthand severity were too
much for the ?arg? real estate interests
of tho Pjakham family; as 'thia class

.argued that the medicine which was
so g-ood for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, ar? 3
little credit. Their fh'bt laboratory
was' the "kitchen, 'where roots and
herbs were steeped on the ' stove,
gradually "fiiKtfg- a groes of bottles.
Then came the question of sellirg
lt, for always before they bad given
it away freely. They hired a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth thc merits of the medi
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
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 18?T; by combined efforts the fair
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

ago? butr not till she had'-, provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it

During her long and eventful expe

work and she was always careful to pre

her attention. The case of every sick

INTERESTING CONTEST;
Heavy Cost of Unpaid Postage;
One of the mo3t curious contests
ever before the public was conducted
by many thousand persons under the
ofTer of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd.,
of Battle Creek. Mich., for prizes of
SI boxes ot gold and 300 greenbacks
to those making the most words out
of the letters Y-I-O-Crape-Nuts.
The contest was started in Febru
ary, 190o, and it was arranged to
have tile prizes awarded on Apr. 30,
19?K.
When the public announcement
appeared many persons began to
form the words from these letters,
sometimes the whole family being
occupied evenings, a combination of
amusement and education.
After a while the lists began to
come in to the Postum Office, and be
fore long the volume grew until it
required wagons to carry the mail.
Many of the contestants were
thoughtless enough to send their lists
with insufficient postage and for a
period it cost the Company from
twenty-five to fifty-eight and sixty
dollars a day to pay the unpaid post
age.
Young ladies, generally those who
had graduated from the high school,
were employed to examine these lists
and count the correct words. Web
ster's Dictionary was the standard,
and each list was very carefully cor
rected, except thoss which fell below
$000.. for ii soon became clear that
nothing below that could win. Some
of the lists required the work of a
young lady for a solid week on each
individual Hst. The work was done
very carefully and accurately, but
the Company had no Idea, at thc time
the offer was made, that the people
would respond so generally, and they
were compelled to fill every available
space in the offices with these young
lady exam ir. 5 rs, and notwithstanding
they worked steadily, it was impossi
ble to complete the examination until
Sept. 29, over six months after the
prizes should have been awarded.
This delay caused a great many
Inquiries and naturally created'some
dissatisfaction. Jt has been thought
best to make this report in practi
cally all of the newspapers in the
United States and many ol' the maga
zin2s in order to make clear to the
people the conditions of the contest.
Many Ii=Ls contained enormous
numbers of words which, under the
rules, had to be eliminated. "Peg
ger" would count, "Peggers" would
. not. Come lists contained over 50,
000 words, the great majority of
which wore cut out. The largest
lists were ehacked over two and In
some cases three times to insure ac
curacy
The $100.00 gold prize was won by
li. ?. Rse3e. 1 227-I5th St., Denver,
Colo., with 9941 correct words. The
highest $10.00 gold prize w it to S.
K. Fraser, Lincoln, Pa., with 9921
correct words.
A complete Hst of the 331 winners
with their home addresses will be
sent to any contestant enquiring on
a postal card.
Be sure and give name and address
clearly.
This contest has cost the Co. many

Growing Importance S? Wheats
One of the notable agricultural
fads is the increasing attention given
to the wheat. crop, not only within
the corn belt, tthere for years there
was a tendency to n?g??e'i rt; Irot also
in thc distinctive small grain regions:
Under improved methods and ruling
prices for a series of years wheat
lia? proven one of the most profitable
crop?; e'Wttl in. the old settled eastern
portion' of Nebraska", jrliile its possief
bilities have been one, c'f the mafii?
propelling, canses of the extfaordiH-;
ary movement of farmers westward
into the 'subhumid region in the
United States and tho vast expanses
of the Canadian northwest. Yet
there lias been a marked concurrent
tendency of wheat exports to fall,
off. An analysis Ot the fact cover
ing 27 years demonstrates; a steady
inereas of domestic consumption,
amounting in thc aggregate to 40
per cent, while population has in
creased only 30 per cent, which vgoes
far to explain the hiteherto puzzling
results, whether as regards prices,
production or exports. For it ap
pears by comparison of five-year per
iods that the per capita wheat con
sumption from 1879 to 1SS4 was 4.S4
bushels, from 1901 to 1900 5.03
bushels. Just whey consumption
should so rapidly increase over so
long a period in the face bf ndvanc
praclicitlly no new uses in addition
to that of human food, is not made
clear, but the fact of such increase
is established beyond a preadventure.
