H. Farrell, who was surgeon of the First California Volunteers when the | regiment left for the Philippines, but now | & resident of Chicago and surgeon on the | staff of the commander in chief of the National Guard of Illinols, in a letter to a friend in th city, received last week, speaks very encouragingly of the pros- pects of success of the bill introduced by Congressman Bonynge of Colorado pro- viding for a special medal and travel pay to the men who served in the Philippines. Many of the men in and out of the guard |in this State are ifiterested in this measure. Walter N. Kelly, colonel-elect of the First Infantry Regiment, will return to this city April 12, and will at once assume command of the regiment. The new col- onel will introduce ideas for the improve- ment of his command, which, if adopted and carrled out in the fullest, will make & marked change for the better. One of the matters he will devote his attention to will be the proposed big armory in which all the organizations of this city can be housed, and where there will be ample @rill room. His expressed opinion is that if a company, a battalion or a regiment is to be instructed in the art of war, the men must have room in which to carry out and execute military problems. That there is room for improvement in | the First Infantry, such improvement as will result in the men taking more inter- est in their companies than they do, is made apparent. Not long ago an election was ordered in one of the companies. | Twice the election had to be postponed | because neither time was there a quorum lu! members. Last week there was to | have peen an election in Company, A to fill a vacancy for first lieutenant,’ vice | Carcass, who failed to pass the examin- | ing board, but there was no quorum, and | Majot J. F. Eggert, who was detalled to | preside, had to announce that another | date will be set for the election. It is probable that at the same time an elec- tion will be ordered for captain, vice Bal- resigned. SERGEANT PROMOTED. Major H. G. Mathewson presided at an clection last wesk in Company F, Captain Stindt commanding, for second lieutenant. Vernon Richard Branch, first sergeant of the company, was elected, and if he | makes as good a commissioned officer as he has & non-commissioned one, the com- pany will be the gainer.

The examination was a strict, close and searching one, because the examining board does not propose to ! be called down again for certifying indi- | viduals not qualified.

Among | the military men there were Adjutant | General Lauck, Major Thomas Wilhelm, | U. 8. A.

There is renewed interest in the company, recruits are being added at | every meeting and the commissioned of- ficers are making the company proficient |in all that In which it was deficient. The resignation of Colonel J. F. Hayes, | commanding the Fifth Infantry, which was to have been “handed in” last week, | is still held up. Colonel Hayes last week | said that he would “have it ready in a! |few days.” In the meantime the poli- ticians of the regiment are endeavoring | to make combinations for a successor to | Hayes.

Yesterday there was a great event in the Fifth Infantry, it being a match between Company C, Captain Dickson, of Petaluma, and Company D of San Rafael, Captain Vanderbilt.

NOTES OF THE SIXTH. During the latter part of March the is an adjunct to Company G of the Sixth Infantry, at Bakersfield, gave its second annual masquerade ball, which was attended by a large number of the people of that place and by nearly all of the members of Company G. The Sentinel of Hanford, in speaking of the recent inspection of Company I of the Sixth Infantry, located at that place, pays the following compliment to Major Wilhelm (retired), U. 8. A, the inspector in chief during the cur- rent year for the War Departmernt and for the State: “He certainly knows his business. The striking feature of his work as seen by a layman is that he is g0 kind and unassuming. The notion prevails among many, and there s cause for it, too, that one invested with a little brief authority in military af- fairs is pompous and overbearing. Not g0 with Major Wilhelm. He is as kind and as good as a mother and doeés not seek to humiliate a guardsman who is doing his best, but rather kindly ad- vises him how to do things. The many who were present, as well as all the members of the company, were im- pressed with the splendid manner of guardsmen by the following score: Company D, National Guard, California ; the old regular army man who was the chief of inspection on Saturday night.” only perfect s of the most nutritious of flour foods—Uneeda Biscuit—the oda cracker.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY And a True Story of How This remarkable woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass., February 9th, 1819, com- ing from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and ‘became known as a woman of an alert el ) Y A and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knawledge. and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa- thetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham, & builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiess. 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- erience many of them gained a won- geflnl knowledge of the curative prop- erties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham 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 the field there are remedies ex- Eressly designed to cure the various 1s 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 found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses - liar to the female sex, and Lydia E.g;n o ham’s friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All this so far wasdone freely, with- out money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial erisis struck Lynn. Itslengthand severity were too much for the 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 had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to i ADVERTISEMENTS. WHO SHE WAS SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF LYDIA E. PINKHAM Had Its Birth and How the “Panic of '73’’ Caused it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores. the Vegetable Compound restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was 80 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, | ually filling a gross of bottles. en came the question of selling it, for always before they had given ft away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the 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, sell-advexfisinf, 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 lbuse- 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 eventful expe- rience she was ever methodical in her work apd she was always careful topre- serve arecord 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 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 be equaled in any library in the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her | daughter - in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was n:arefiSly 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- five years she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the | first Lydia E. Pinkham d her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up. With women assistants, someas | 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 you only write to ask for it. Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink- | ham’s Vegetable Compound ; 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.
