New York'* Rapid Growth.
The rapid growth of the nation's
great metropolis is a source cf nation
al interest and pride. Statisticians
figure that the population of the city
will exceed that of London by the
year lilt3, and will double it) 23 years.
The present generation will undoubt
edly see in New York the world’s
greatest metropolis. Few persons
realize that the population of New
York city is already one in 20 of the
population of the entire United States,
or that the growth of New York city
in the century past has beeu five
times more rapid than the growth of
the whole country.—Moody's Maga

TONIC FOR MOTHERS
Dr. William;’ Pink Pills Are Safe and
Reliable—A Favorite Household
Remedy.
Motherhood may be the crowning
blessing of a woman's life or it may
bring grief and sorrow. Mrs. M. J.
Wight, of 170 Seventh Street. Auburn,
Maine, relates her experience after the
birth of her daughter in 19ul, as fol
lows: “I was all run down at the
time the baby came and did not im
prove in health rapidly after. I was
pale, thin and bloodless. My stomach
distressed me being full oS gas all the
time and my heart fluttered so that I
could scarcely breathe.
"Finally 1 remembered that a friend
had recommended Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills to me so I commenced using
tin m. I gained in strength rapidly
while the baby throve also. When I
expected my next child I started tak
ing the pills again as a tonic and
strengthener and had no such diffi
culty as before. I got up better and
my strength came back much sooner.
“A year ago last winter I had an at
tack of rheumatism in the hands which
went from one hand to the other. The
joints swelled up and were so stiff I
could not move them. The pain ex
tended up through my arms and
shoulders. 1 felt sick enough to go to
bed hut did not do so. This attack
fasted for sevi ral months. 1 tried sev
eral remedies but finally cnnte back
to using tiie pills which had done me
so much good before and found that
they benefited me almost at once. I
have not been troubled since.”

COL. R. C. HALL. Superintendent,
DIPLOMATIC TANGLE
CHILE SAID TO BE OFFENDED AT
THE UNITED STATES—WANT
ED AN AMBASSADOR AT
WASHINGTON.
Washington, March.—Chile's fall
Uie to seuil a minister to Washing
ton to replace Mr. Walker Martinez,
who did not return here after the
Pan-Anrerican conference at Rio last
summer, has caused much lO.nment.
The neglect of the Chilean Congress
to appropriate sufficient money to
maintain the legation has been given
as a reason for leaving the American
mission in charge of Alberto Yoa
cham, secretary of the legation, but
it has just become known that the
real cause was hidden deep in Ameri
can politics. Chile decided it would
be a- good idea to have an ambassa
dor in Washington, and steps were
taken to discover what the United
States thought about the proposed ele
vation of the Chilean representative
at Washington. Chile had an ambas
sador. and Chile felt that a similar
honor should be accorded to it by the
United States.
The suggestion that the Chilean
envoy might be raised to ambassa
dorial rank set all Latin-America
on edge, and a general movement was
Instituted by the Southern republics
to head off such a movement. Argen
tina. being unfriendly to Chile, was
especially opposed to the plan, as Bra
zil and Chile are always rated as al
lies, and Argentina did not want Iter
two youngest rivals to outstrip her in
American representation.
it has not been the policy of the
state department to send ambassa
dors to any country which cannot be
ranked as a world power, and when
the hostility of the rest of South
America to such a change became
known, the United States decided that,
the question had better uol be agi
tated further at this time.
Before this decision was reached,
however, it was diplomatically hint
ed that Bolivia and several of the
other Western South American re
publics would probably decide to with
draw their ministers and leave their
legations in charge of secretaries un
til Chile was permitted to send an
ambassador.
Post Office Robbed.
Chattanooga. Tenn., March.—For
the second time within two weeks

Two weeks ago the East Chattanoo
ga branch was robbed and within the
two weeks preceding similar robber

bers has been identical in every case.

molished and the connecting cars
smashed. Two stefd hopper curs on
an adjoining track were blown over,
the track torn up for some distance
and telegraph wires were destroyed
The noise of the explosion was
deafening and thousands of exploded
torpedoes rained on house roofs many
yards away. No one was injured.
Passenger trains were delayed for a

ly injured. A misunderstanding of

Irritability, bad temper, nervousness, melancholia, and ether signs of disordered nerves, are frequently
caused simply by dyspepsia.
Dyspepsia (chronic indigestion), upsets the whole system, and the victim becomes thin, worn, misera

What is needed, is a remedy that tones up the digestive organs, and purifies the digestive canal,
