THE DOCTOR LAUGHED
nut lie Woman Wun Frightened.
A physician of Columbus, Oa., rather
poked fun at a lady patient who Insisted
ho had heart disease.
Tho trouble really was caused by Injuries
from tho effects of coffee drinking, and the
nerves wcro so affected that It gavo her
every indication of heart disease This Is
true of thousands of pcoplo who aro badly
hurt by the caffeine of coffee, and, It Is
understood that If continued long enough,
real organlu heart disease will sot In.
Tho lady referred to above Is Mrs. C. V.
Irvln, 1010 1) street, East Highland, Col
umbus, (la. She says: "I had been run
ning down In health for a number of years
and suspected that coffee was- hurting me
but could not got my consent to quit It.
My heart troubled me so that I wbb very
hort of breath, and could do llttlo or noth
ing that required exertion. I had fearful
nervous headaches nearly every day, and
was exceedingly nervous with indigestion
and badly constipated. Tho doctor laughod
at my Idea of heart troublo, but knew that
I was In a serious condition generally.
Finally I was induced to quit coffee and
take up Poatum Food Coffoo. This was
about four months ago and the chango has
been wonderful. I feol llko another per
son. My heart does not troublo mo at
all, and the stomach nnd nerves ar'o de
cidedly Improved. My head does not give
me tho old trouble It did, while tho bowels
are regular without any purgatives or rood
Iclnc of an:' kind,
"I can hardly express my gratification
for tho relief from suffering brought' on by
the use of regular coffee, and I cannot
tka&k Postum enough."

Thero were returned to their own coun

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL TAKEN UP
(Continued from First Vano.)
expressed the opinion that n great 'mari
time nation like this might as well bo with
out n constitution ns without shipyards
Mr. Fryo showed how much greater was
thn co.it of building nnd operating ships
under tho American flag. If these expenses
wero not greater, ho said thero would bo
no excuso for the pending bltl and its foun
dation would fall, lie presented, therefore,
an nrrny of figures to prove that It cost not
only moro to construct American ships,
but moro to operate them after thoy wcro
built than foreign ships. Ills figures In
dlcated that ships of Great llrttaln had
an advnntago of from $4.60 to $5 a gross
ton over American ships in tho expenso
of construction and operation. He related
tho Incident cited by Mr. Clydo of the
Clydo Steamship company, beforo tho com
mcrco committee, of tho operation of a
ship undor a Norwegian flag and ancx
actly similar vessel under the American
flag. Tho expense of operating tho Nor
wegian ship, ho said, was Just half that
of operating the American Bhlp bctwwon
tho same ports.'
Mr. Fryo also refered to tho lino of ves
sels run by the lato John Itoach of New
York, from Now York to Brazil. Thoy came
into competition with n lino of Spanish
ships exactly similar ln slzo and speed
to tno American ships. The Spanish ves
sets had n yearly advantngo of $120,000
over tho American ships and could make
money carrying freight at $3 a ton, whllo
tho American vessels in order to make
money had to chargo $7.50 a ton. Mr,
Itoach was forced to soil hts vessels and
Mr. Thurber and tho other purchasers
ovontually lost their entire investment.
Senntor 1'rye Furnishes Statistic.
Mr. Fryo then took up that provision of
the bill which provides the amount of sub
sidy to bo paid vessels and explained how
tho pa) meat was regulated. tn said that
by tho terms of tho measuro a ten-knot
vessel out for 175 days would draw $15,000
a year beyond tho cost of hor coal and
handling and that tho amount of tho sub
sidy would diminish with tho speed of tho
ship,
Mr. Clay (Georgia) asked If it wero true
that a twenty-ono knot ship would draw
under tho bill, $304,000 a year.
Mr. fryo replied that tho amount drawn
by such n vessol would bo about $22,000 In
excess of her coal consumption and hand
ling. "But," persisted Mr. Clay. "Is not tho
gross amount of tho subsidy of the twenty
ono knot ship $304,000 a year under this
bill?"
Mr. Fryo admitted that it was.
"I understand," said Mr. Clay, "that the
ten-knot and twelvo-knot ships which carry
tho agricultural products of. tho country do
not receive more than one-third of tho sub
sidy of tho fast passenger 'vessols which
carry no agricultural products."
'And I was showing," responded Mr.
Frye. "that the low-speed vessels were the
ones which received the aciuabeneflta from
tho subsidy and not the fast passenger
ships."
At this point Mr. Fryo yielded the floor
for tho day and tho senate at 3:55 p. m.
held a brief executive, session, after which
it adjourned.

Wifehood as the Test of
Womanhood.
Tho Good Woman Who Makes
Bad Wife.
Marriage was n ferioua thlnjj to tbe
Rrandparents nnd great grandparents
of the present generation. No woman
entered lightly upon wedlock. She
knew that she was going to found a
family, and that she must be equal to
nil the responsibilities of the position
she nsstuned. She must be nble to
order her own household; to knit, sew,
spin, make bread, butter, soap, candies,
and indeed care for and clothe a whole
family. Ah mnt tint V nr?imn
the whoop of the Indian warned of a
dreadful danger. She must stand by
her husband, gun in hand.
How many women of to-day could
undertake wifehood under such condi
tions? Few indeed. Not because the
modern American woman lacks cour
age, but because she lacka as a rule the
physical health which is the indispensa
ble qualification for a life such as was
lived by the women of the past.
That is why a good woman may be a
bad wife. Virtue and goodness are ex
cellent things in women, but to guide a
house and bear children demands above
all sound physical health.
WOMEM CONVICTS.
To a great number of women the
house they live in is almost on a par
with a prison. It is prison-like in the
monotonous regularity of dally duties;
prison-llke In the absence of all pleasure
In what is done or joy In the doing.
And the reason is to be found in
womanly ill-health. Few women realize
how intimately the general health is re
lated to the health of tbe delicate
womanly organs. . A woman may suffer
with heart "trouble," disorders of kid
neys, liver or stomach, or with nervous
prostration as a result of a diseased con
dition of the womanly organism. Many
such women "doctor" for years for
various diseases and wonder why they
don't get better. They can't get better
until the womanly organism is entirely
cured of its diseases.
This is not theory. It is a statement
of simple facts founded upon the testi

badly I did not know
what to do. I suffered ev
erything one could think
of. Vc paid out so much
money for doctoring, and
there was nothing that did
me any good till I con
sented to try Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription and
'Golden Medical Discov

faith in these medicines
at all, but I am only too
lad to say that in three
ays after taking the med
icine I could see a change
for the better. In a week
I could sit up and then
I commenced the treat
ment for uterine trouble.

taken nearly twelve bottles of the medi
cine and still continue to take it I
am getting better right along, can ride
or walk any place. I can never praise
your medicine enough.
"The doctor here says that he never
would have believed that your medicine
could have done so much for any one if
he had not seen what it has done for
me. He also told me to keep on taking
it, for he could not help me. I thank
you a thousand times for your kind
advice and for your medicine."
SAFE AND SUXK.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
unrivaled as a safe and sure medicine
for the cure of womanly diseases. It
establishes regularity, dries unhealthy
drains, heals inflammation and ulcera
tion and cures female weakness. It is
the best preparative for motherhood,
giving vigor to the body and buoyancy
to the mind. It so strengthens the
organs of maternity that it makes the
baby's advent practically painless. As
a tonic for nursing mothers it has no
equal. It increases the nutritive secre
tions and strengthens and nourishes
both child and mother.
Weak and sick women are invited
to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, frte.
All correspondence strictly private
and sacredly confidential. Address Dr.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
Accept no substitute for "Favorite
Prescription." There is nothing "just
as good" for weak and tickly women.
