nesday from Yokohama. Chnng, a
riotous ape, was in chains, but he
looked like a grim fighter. Accord
ing to Captain Llghtcllcr, Chnng
precipitated a mutiny among the
monkeys In tho heart of a severe
storm In the Bay of Bengal. Kl Kl.
Chang's mate, was missing for some
days, and Chnng supposed the China
men had thrown him overboard as
nn offering to their gods to ally the
violence of the Brm. He burst
open the monkey cage and let loose
60 of the wildest specimens. They
tore mndly from the hold to the
bridge, where Donohue, the mate,
stood In solitary contemplation.
Donohue yelled "Murder!" and tho
steamer's crew rushed to his' aid.
For five minutes there was a pitched
brittle between tho 30 Chinamen and
the 60 monkeys. The monkeys were
thrown overboard until only a few
remained to tell the tale. Kl Kl was
found a day later on the mast top
solemnly contemplating the beauties

It is an erroneous notion that hy

quence of biting, or more rarely in
consequence of licking surface
wounds. There Is also a third nnd
easy mode ot contamination by
scratching. Dr. Uemlinger, of the
Insliture of Bacteriology, Constanti

of such an origin of tho hydrophobic
infection. This origin is easily ex
plained. A certain number of ani

of licking their paws. It has been
proved that the saliva of rabid ani
mals is virulent several days before

of hydrophobia. When tho disease
is declared, a now factor intervenes!
The saliva that, especially If it he

IXTEBF.STIXG CONTEST.
Heavy Cost of Unpaid Postage.
One of the most curious contests
ever before the public was conducted
by many thousand persons under the
offer of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd.,
of Battle Creek, Mich., for prizes of
31 boxes of gold and .".00 greenbacks
to those making the most words out
of the letters Y-IsO-Grape-Nuts.
The contest was started in Febru
ary, 1006, and it was arranged to
have the prizes awarded on Apr. SO,
1006.
When the public ahnotincement
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 o the Postum Ollice, and be
fore long the volume grew until it
required wagons to carry the mail.
Many of tho contestants were
thoughtless enough to send their lists
with Insufficient postage and for a
period it cost tho Company from
twenty-five to fifty-eight and sixty
dollars a day to pay the unpaid post
age.
Young ladies, gsnernlly those who
had graduated from the high school,
were employed to etamlne these lists
and count the correct words. Web
ster's Dictionary was the standard,
and each list was very carefully cor
rected, except those which fell below
8000, for it soon became clear that
nothing below that could win. Some
of the lists required the work of a
young lndy for a solid week on each
individual list. The work was done
very carefully and accurately, but
the Company had no idea, at the time
the offer was made, that the people
would respond so gsnsrally, and they
were compelled to fill every available
space in the offices with these young
lady examiners, and notwithstanding
they worked steadily, it wan impossi
ble to complete the examination until
Sept. 29, over six months after the
prizes Bhould have been awarded.
This delay caused a great many
inquiries and naturally created some
dissatisfaction. It has been thought
best to make this report In practi
cally all ot the newspapers' In the
United States and many of the maga
zines in order to make clear to the
people the conditions of the conte-jf.
Many lists contninsi enormous
numbers of words which, under the
rules, had to be eliminated. "Pea
gar" would count, "Peggors" would
not. Some lists contained over 50,
000 words, the great majority of
which were cut out. The largest
lists were checked over two and in
some cases three times to insure ac
curacy The tlOO.OO gold prize was won by
L. D. Iteeae, 1227-15th St., Denver,
Colo., with 9941 correct words. The
highest J10.00 gold prize went to S.
K. Fraser, Lincoln, Pa., with, 992 1
correct words.
A complete list of the 331 winners
with their home addresses will be
sent to Bny contestant enquiring on
a postal card.
Bo sure and give name and address
clearly.
This contest haB cost tho Co. many
thousand dollars, and prohnbly has
not been a profitable advertisement,
nevertheless, porhaps some who had
never before tried Grape-Nuts food
have been interested in the contest,
and from trial of tho food have been
shown its wonderful rebuilding pow
ers. It teaches In a practical manner
that scientifically gathered food ele
ments can be selected from tho field
grains which nature will use for re
building the nerve centres and brain
In a way that is unmistakable to
users of Grape-Nuts.

WHOSSi
SKETCH OF THE LIFE
And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound
Had Its Birth and How the "Panic of '73" Caused
It to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores.
This remarkable womnn, whose
maiden no me was Estes. wns born In
Lyun. Muss., I'Vbrutirv tt.h, 1M1K. com
ing from a good old Quaker family.
For some years she taught school, and
became known as u womnn of an alert
and investigatinfr mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa
thetic nature.
In 1843 she married Isnac Pinkhnm.
a builder and real estate operator, nnd
their early mnrried life was mucked by
prosperity nud huppincss. They lmd
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was commou for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
end herbs, nature's own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urircnt cas'-s. iiv tradition nnd ex
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
erties of the various roots und herbs.
Mrs. I'inkhum took a great interest
in the study of roots nnd herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
Slio maintained that just as nature so
bountiiuUy provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the rain',
) to find thcra, in the roots nnd 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 niedi
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these wtts a rare combina
tion of the choicest medicinal roms
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu
liar to the female sex. and Lydiu E. l'inlt
buin's friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
mem.
All this so far wnsdone freely, with
out money and without price, us a
xaoor oi love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for tho large 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 hud to be found.
At this point Lydin E. Pink-ham's
Vegetable Compound wus made known
to tho world.

OF LYDIA E. PINKHAA1
restore the family fortune. They
urfri'cd thiit the medicine which was
so piHHl for their woman friends and
neighbors was cfptivljy good for the
women of the whole world
The I'inkhams 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 Relling
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 Lydla 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 1 877, 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. Pirjchara 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 sho could have dono it
her:elf.
During her long and eventful expe
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she wns always careful to pre
serve a record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
ami there were thousands received
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 collabora
tion of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
lie equaled In any library in the
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter - in - law, tho present Mrs.
Pinkhnci. She wus carefully instructed
in nli her haid-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
directiorrof the work when its origina
te r passed away. For nearly twenty,
live years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when tho
first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her
pen, nnd the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large,family, took
it up With woman assistants, some as
capable us herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work. nnd
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 you only write to ask
for it.
Such is the history of Lydla E. rink
hum's Vegetable Compound ; made
from simple roots and herbs j the one
great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monument to the noble
woman whose name it bears.
