dent Is where the June bug creates
trouble. Last Tucsuay night Charley
Carroll came to the conclusion that
It would be much cooler sleeping on
the floor. AboiJ 3 o'clock the fam
ily was aroused by all kinds of yells
from Charley, and It was soon learn
ed that a June bug, of the hard-shell
variety, had crawled in his ear and
was giving all kinds of pain, almost
setting him crazy. James Hatchett,
f who lives nearby, was called and then
Washington according to a letter re
ceived by L. G. Larson, one of the
bidders on the work, from the sup
ervising architect of the treasury.
His letter is brief and pointed and
referring to Mr. Larson's bid which
as sdbmltted, Mr. Taylor begs to
state that his proposal was rejected
for the reason that It was in excess
of the amount available for the work.

DISAPPOINTMENT
Man people are afraM of Jhosts. frew people
are afraid of gerrai. Yft the fhoat ii laucy and
the germ ia a fact. If the term could be magnified
to a size equal to in terrora it would appear more
terrible than any fire-breathio dragon. Germa
can't be avoided. They are ia the air we breathe,
the water we drink.
The germ can only prosper when the condition
cf the system gives it free scope to establish it
self and develop. When thee is deficiency of
vital force, laniluor, restlessness, a aallow cheek,
a hollow eye, when the appcti.e ia poor and the
t!eep is broken, it is time to fuard against the germ. You can
fartify the body against all germs by the use of Dr. Pierce's Gold
en Medical Discovery. It increases; the vital power, cleanses the
rystem of clogging impuritie3, enriches the blood, puts the stom
cch end organs of digestion end nutrition in working condition, so
that the germ finds no weak or tainted spot in which to breed.
"Golden Medical Discovery" contains no alcohol, whisky or
habit-forming drugs. All its ingredients printed on ita outside

building would be started at least
with the amount now available and
if that could not be done, there
could be some method devised by
which the plans and specifications
could be altered so that the work
could be done within the appropria
tion. This seems to take a much
longer time than expected and it may
be quite a while before actual con
struction is commenced.

the bidders who were all ln excess of
the amount appropriated, that the
bids could be brought within the lim
