the following letters.
Sirs. Barbara Base, of Kingman,
Kansas, writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
“ For eight years I suffered from the
most severe form of female troubles and
was told that an operation was my only
hope of recovery. I wrote Mrs. l’inkham
for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkliam’s
Vegetable Compound, and it has saved
my life and made me a well woman.”
Mrs. Arthur R. House, of Church
Road, Moorestown. N. J., writes:
“I feel it is my duty to let people
know what Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vege
table Compound has done for me. I
suffered from female troubles, and last
March my physician decided that an
operation was necessary. My husband
'Objected, and urged me to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and to-day I am well and strong.”

SILLS AND RESOLUTIONS PRESENTED
Concise Report of Measure* Intro
duced and What Action Is
Taken on Them.
Carrying a total of $lt,508.80G, the
agricultural appropriation bill was
passed by the house late Thursday. It
had been under discussion for nine
days and from Ihe time of its consid
eration began until the very end its
provisions were attacked at every
turn, with the result that it underwent
many changes. Just before its pass
age, Mr. Scott of Kansas, chairman of
the agricultural committee, made an
unsuccessful fight to have stricken out
the amendment adopted Wednesday,
considerably increasing the appropria
tion for soil investigation.
With the agricultural bill out of the
way, the Democrats and Republicans
locked horns with each other on all
subsequent business, with the result
that one of the most vigorous filibus
ters ever conducted in the house were
entered upon. Majority Leader Payne
threw down the gauntlet to the Demo
crats and told them that the Repub
licans did not propose to accept their
dictation as to what the program of
legislation should be. Minority Lead
er Williams accepted the challenge,
whereupon the Democrats resorted to
every obstructive tactics known to
parliamentary law on every proposi
tion that came up for consideration.
It was 10:09 before the house ad
journed.
During the debate Thursday a brief
flurry was created by Mr. Harrison of
New York, Democrat, characterizing
as socialistic the bill of Minority
Leader Williams, providing for the
utilization of the treasury surplus in
the construction and improvement of
roads in the several states. With the
agricultural bill out of the way, the
Democrats, under the leadership of
Mr. Williams, conducted a successful
filibuster against the transaction of
any further business.
The resolution agreed upon by the
senate committee on foreign relations
that, recourse to the permanent court
of arbitration can not be had only by
agreement upon special treaties be
tween parties in dispute was adopted
by the senate.
Senator Carter of the committee on
postoffices and post, roads Thursday
introduced a bill to establish postal
savings banks. He stated that this
measure was satisfactory to the post
office department. It was referred
back to the committee and will re
ceive further consideration.
A healing was begun Thursday be
fore the house ways and means com
mittee on a bill introduced by Mr.
Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the
appropriations committee, to impose
an internal revenue tax of 2 cents on
every prize coupon given away with
tobacco, cigars, cigarettes or snuff sold
in packages sold in the United States.
The bill is aimed at the so-called to
bacco trust and its purported design
is to remove the gift coupon as a
weapon to crush competition.
A financial commission bill was in
troduced in the senate Thursday by
Mr. Dupont of Delaware. It provides
that there shall be seven commission
ers appointed by the president solely
with a view to their qualifications and
without regard to their affiliations.
Each is to receive a salary of $3,500,
and to serve until Jan. 1, 1909.
SENATOR DAVIS FINED $25.
More Trouble Feared as Sequel to
Little Rock Street Fight.
Little Hock. Ark.—United States
Senator Jefferson Davis was fined
$25 in police court Wednesday morn
ing on a charge of disturbing the
peace. The charge of carrying weap
ons was dismissed. The senator ap
peared in court with his head ban
daged. At the same time Thomas E.
Helm, deputy prosecuting attorney,
was in a justice conn to be tried on
the charge of assault and battery.
There is danger of more fighting, as
the situation is strained to the break
ing point. Many witnesses testified
that Davis ran to his office, after hav
ing been assaulted by Helm, got a
large army and navy revolver and re
turned to the scene looking for Helm,
declaring he desired to get a shot at
him. Witnesses also testified that the
senator cursed much.

RAISED FROM A SICK BED.
After Being an Invalid with Kidney
Disorders for Many Years.
John Armstrong, Cloverport, Ky„
says: “I was an invalid with kidney
complaints for many
years, and cannot
tell what agony I
endured from back
ache. My limbs
were swollen twice
natural size and my
sight was weaken
ing. The kidney se
cretions were d is
colored and had a sediment. When I
wished to eat my wife had to raise
me up in bed. Physicians were un
able to help me and I was going down
fast when I began using Doan's Kid
ney Pills. After a short time I felt
a great improvement and am now as
strong and healthy as a man could be.
I give Doan's Kidney Pills all the
credit for it.”

SKIN TROUBLES CURED.
First Had Itching Rash—Threatened
Later With Blood-Poison in Leg—
Relied on Cuticura Remedies.
“About twelve or fifteen years ago
I had a breaking-out, and it itched,
and stung so badly that I could not
have any peace because of it. Three
doctors did not help me. Then I used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent and
began to get better right away. They
cured me and I have not been bothered '
with the itching since, to amount to |
anything. About two years ago I
had la grippe and pneumonia which
left me with a pain in my side. Treat
ment ran it into my leg, which then
swelled and began to break out. The
doctor was afraid it would turn to
blood-poison. I used his medicine
but it did no good, then I used the
Cuticura Remedies three times and
cured the breaking-out on my leg. J. F.

BUY ONLY BEST CHICORY.
Ask for the Franck Brand and Insist
Upon Getting It.
AH coffee drinkers should be familiar
with the history and merits of chicory.
As salt is necessary for soup, so coffee
is incomplete without a proper propor
tion of genuine chicory, for it is chicory
that gives coffee that rich flavor and fra
grant aroma.
Americans, thanks to foreign-born resi
dents. now appreciate the merits of chic
ory. The United States Government has
interested itself in the root and recently
issued a bulletin on the use and growth |
of chicory. (See Bulletin 19, U. S. De- |
pertinent of Agriculture.)
It also regards chicory as standard a
food product as coffee and requires the
coffee makers to state the contents of ;
their packages in plain letters. This in
sures the purchaser pure coffee and genu- ;
lne chicory.
One chicory manufacturing firm. Tfeinr.
Franck Soline & Company, which has 18
mammoth factories in Europe and has re
ceived forte medals for the excellence of
its product'in its nearly a century of ex
istence, has established an American
branch at Flushing, N. Y., where genu
ine Franck Chicory is made. From this
factory genuine chicory is supplied to all
the leading Jobbers of the south.
You must ask for Franck Chicory In or
der to get tlie best chicory. Many in- j
ferinr brands are offered, but there is
only one high grade chicory and it is the
Franck Chicory.
Make sure that the coffee you buy is i
mixed with “Franck” chicory and insist .
on getting it. You will be assured of a
cup of coffee rich in taste, fragrant in
aroma and healthful in effect. You will
then drink the coffee made famous by the
good Dutch housewives—the same kind
served in all the leading hotels and res
taurants. Accept only roffee prepared
with "Franck" Chicory—it is the best.
DON’T LIKE LITTLE STRANGER.
Did Ever Youngster Welcome Advent
of Little Brother or Sister?
The mothers were talking shop.
“When little Harold came,” said the
first mother, “his older brother Regi
nald was very curious about him.
“ ‘Yes, Reggie, dear,’ I told him, ‘the
little baby is a Washington's birthday
present to us from the angels.’
"He frowned in thoughtful silence.
Then he said:
“ ‘Well, mamma, if we wrap him up
carefully and put him away and don't
use him, we can give him to some- i
body else next Washington's birthday,
can't we?’ ”
The other mothers smiled and
sighed. The second said:
“On the—er—advent of my little
Miriam, Hannah, our five-year-old, was
taken upstairs by the cook to see the
newcomer.
“Hannah looked her little sister over
sternly. Then, turning to the cook,
she said:
“ ‘Jane, you can keep that in the
kitchen.’ ”
Again the mothers smiled and sighed
and nodded sadly.
"Yes, it is always so,” they said.
Gentle Persuasion.
A young chap from the south, who
recently took up his residence in Bos
ton with the purpose of pursuing cer
tain technical studies at the Hub, en
gaged board and lodgings at “a select
establishment” in Columbus avenue.
It was not long after his install
ment therein that the southerner
found himself obliged to complain to
the landlady with reference to the
noisy doings of some of his fellow
lodgers.
“The people in the room next to
mine,” said he, “quarrel in a loud tone
regularly every evening much to my
distress. What's the trouble, any
way?”
“Oh. you mustn't mind them,” said
the landlady. “That occurs very often,
at least once a week. It's only Prof.
Whiteside, the hypnotist, trying to per
suade his wife to go to the band con
cert.”—Illustrated Sunday Magazine.
Evidently Strange.
“A gentleman to see you, sir,” an
nounced Mr. Struckitt Wright's new
butler.
“Ah—tell him I’ll be down in a min
ute. I guess it's my brother, proba
bly. I'm expectin’ him. Does he look
anything like me?”
“No, sir—not at all. He is very gen
tlemanly in appearance.”
To insure the direct and quick cleans
' ing of the system, take Gartield Tea, the
Mild Herb Laxative. It purifies the blood,
eradicates disease and brings Good Health.

HOW TO APPLY PAINT.
Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather, to
have the paiut applied properly. No
excellence of material can make up
for carelessness of application, any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear well.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mixed with pure linseed oil,
fresh for the job, and should be well
brushed out, not flowed on thick.
When painting is done in this manner
with National Lead Company’s pure
white lead (trade marked with “The
Dutch Iloy Painter”) there is every
chance that the job wdll be satisfac
tory. White lead is capable of ab
solute test for purity. National Lead
Company, Woodbridge Building, New
York, will send a testing outfit free to
any one interested.
Restaurant Prize Seat.
A novel method of advertising a

lucky enough to occupy the selected
chair receives, as a present, a hand
