Mrs. Norman R. Barndt , of Allentown -

"Ever since I was sixteen years cf
age I bad suffered from an organic de
rangement and female weakness ; in
consequence I had dreadful headaches
and was extremely nervous. My physi
cian said I must go through an opera
tion to get well. A friend told me
about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound , and I took it and wrote you
for advice , following your directions
carefully , and thanks to you I am to
day a well woman , and I am telling
all my friends of my experience. "

Jlog Cholera.
THE greatest drawback to the hog
industry which breeders in this country
have to contend with is what is known
fts "hog cholera" and "swine plague. "
Hog cholera Is a highly contagious
disease and unless checked is liable to
carry off a great number of hogs in a
very short time.
Mr. A. P. Williams , of Burnetts
Creek , Ind.'tells of an experience which
he had with some hogs that had the
cholera. "Five years ago , " says Mr.
Williams , ' 'I was in the employ of Mr.
J. .D. Richardson , Lafayette , Tnd. . as
his barn foreman. Some fine hogs that
I was feeding took the cholera. I
gave them Sloan's Liniment and did
not lose a hog. Some were so bad
they would not drink sweet milk and
I was compelled to drench them. J
hnve tried it at every opportunity since
and always find it O. K. "

The reading of the President's mossagi
tonrerning the employers' liability act ,
the granting of in junctions in labor ca-ies
and other matters of a general nature
concerning corporations was the chief fea
ture of the Senate proceedings Friday.
The message received careful attention.
The Senate ordered 10,000 copies printed.
The remainder of the day was devoted
to routine business and a further consid-
oiatio'i of the bill to revise the criminal
laws of the United States. The first
rending of the bill was concluded. The
Senate adjourned until Monday. An un-
tiMial and almost unprecedented scene was
enacted in the House of Representatives
as the result of the reading of n special
mr-ssage to Congress by the President ,
urging additional legislation in the mat
ter of relations of labor and capital and
of corporations and the public. The vig
orous language of the document brought
forth storms of applause , first on the
Democratic side of the House , then on the
Republican , and culminating in a general
demonstration by the entire body. After
passing 2S8 pension bills , the Indian ap
propriation bill was discussed. Its con
sideration had not been completed when
the- House adjourned until Monday.
Senator Piles of Washington Monday
delivered an eloquent appeal in favor ol
an appropriation by Congress of $700-
000 for a government exhibit at the Alas-
ka-Yukou-Pacific exposition , io be held in
Seattle next year. The day in the Sen
ate was chiefly devoted to a considera
tion of bills on the calendar , several of
which were passed. Three of the giants
of the House had their innings Monday.
Technically the Indian appropriation bill
was under discussion , but legislation was
relegated to the background while na
tional politics occupied the stage. Be
fore the political question cropped out
the House , with net 1o the largest attendance -
tendance of the session present , with but
one dissenting voice , passed a general
widows' pension bill granting a flat pen
sion of $11i a mouth to the widows of all
honorably discharged soldiers of the Uni
ted States who have not heretofore re
ceived the benefits of the pension law
and an increase of $4 a mouth for those
who have under the act of June 27 , 1890.
The bill involves the expenditure of more
than $ 12.000.000 annually. The political
debate was opened by Mr. Townseml ol
Michigan , who. in a prepared speech ,
claimed for the Republican party credit
for all national legislation in the last
fifty years of vital interest to the public
In this he was vigorously disputed bj
Mr. Cockrau of New York. Mr. Hep
burn followed , defending the President's
message , and said that condemnation ol
it had come only from the great malefac
tors of the age "and the gentleman from
Ohio. " meaning Senator Foraker.

The Senate- Tuesday passed the urgent
deficiency bill , carrying an appropriation
of over .t24,000,000. The large deficiency
appropriation for the navy brought out
con.-iderable discussion on the subject ol
executive departments making expendi
tures not provided-for in appropriations ,
Deficiency appropriations for the Panama
canal gave rise to Democratic criticisit
of the publication of a paper by the
Canal Commission at Panama , and inci
dentally Senator Teller declared that IK
believed the lock canal at Panama would
some day be declared a failure , and thai
a sea level canal would take its place ,
The Senate devoted two hours to consid
eration of he criminal code bill.
President Roosevelt's recent message
to Congress on the relations of capital
and labor and of corporations and the
public again was the theme of discussion
in the House of Representatives. So
great was the demand for time that gen
eral debate on the Indian appropriation
bill , which is the pending business , wai
extended for four hours. Interest in tlw
proceedings centered in a speech by John
Sharp Williams , the minority leader , who ,
while lauding the President for some ol
his sentiments , expressed the belief thai
others were dangerous. Mr. Williams
spoke for nearly two hours. His re
marks on the financial question prempted
a lengthy discussion of that subject bj
Mel I ill. of Connecticut , in which he op
posed the Aldrich financial bill. Othei
speakers were Messrs. Bonygne , of Colorado
rado , Nye. of Minnesota , and Macon , ol
Arkansas , ihe latter urging the passage
of his bill prohibiting dealings in futures
in agricultural products.

Senator Beveridge of Indiana delivered
an appeal o the Senate Wednesday tc
adopt his bill providing for a nonpartisan
tariff commission , a. plan which he de
clared conformed to modern and business
ideas on this subject. Several Demo
cratic Senators spoke briefly on the gen
eral subject of the tariff. Tariff revis
ion and the President's recent special
message to Congress again were the main
topics of discussion in the House. As
has been the case for nearly a week , the
Indian appropriation bill ostensibly was
before the House , but no word was spo
ken in regard to it. A long speech by
Serene Payne of New York , the major
ity leader , was considered important be
cause of his assurances that a tariff re
vision plank would be incorporated in th
Republican national platform of this
year. lie credited Mr. Bryan with going
about the country accusing President
Roosevelt of grand or petit larceny in

PURE FOOD.
.Vo Food Commissioner of Any State
Ifa.N Ever Attacked the Absolute
Parity of Grajie-Xnt * .
Every analysis undertaken shows
this food to be made strictly of Wheat
and Barley , treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch parts
into a form of Sugar , and therefore
much easier to digest.
Our claim that it is a "Food for
Brain and Nerve Centers" is based
upon the fact that certain parts of
Wheat and Barley ( which we use )
contain Nature's brain- and nerve-
building ingredients , viz. , Phosphate
of Potash , and the way we prepare the
food makes it easy to digest and as
similate.
Dr. Geo. W. Carey in his book on
"The Biochemic System of Medicine"
says :
"When the medical profession fullj
understands the nature and range of
the phosphate of potassium , insane
asylums will no longer be needed.
"The gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cell-salt , potassium phosphate.
"This salt unites with albumen , and
by the addition of oxygen creates
nerve-fluid , or the gray matter of the
brain.
"Of course , there is a trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
nerve-fluid , but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor , and has the power
within itself to attract , by its own law
of affinity , all things needed to manu
facture the elixir of life. Therefore ,
when nervous symptoms arise , due to
the fact that the nerve-fluid has been
exhausted from any cause , the phos
phate of potassium is the only true
remedy , because nothing else can pos
sibly supply the deficiency.
"The ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter of the
brain cannot be overestimated.
"Phosphate of Potash is to my mind
the most wonderful curative agent
ever discovered by man , and the bless
ings it has already conferred on the
race are many. But 'what shall the
harvest be' when physicians every
where fully understand the part this
wonderful salt plays in the processes
of life ? It will do as much as can be
done through physiology to make a
heaven on earth.
"Let the overworked business iran
take it and go home good-tempered.
Let the weary wife , nerves unstrung
from attending to sick children or en
tertaining company , take it and note
how quickly the equilibrium will be
restored and calm and reason assert
her throne. No 'provings' are required
here. We find this potassium salt
largely predominates in nerve-fluin1 ,
and that a deficiency produces well-
defined symptoms. The beginning
and end of the matter is to supply
the lacking principle , and in molecu
lar form , exactly as nature furnisher
it in vegetables , fruits and grain. To
supply deficiencies this is the only !
law of cure. "
Please observe that Phosphate of
Potash is not properly of the drug j
shop variety , but is best prepared by
"Old Mother Nature" and stored in
the grains ready for use by mankind.

A series of articles now appearing
In the Scientific American makes re
ply to the charges against the Ameri
ca n Navy contained in the McClura
article by Artist Reuterdahl. The first
article aims to show that the various
boards which have determined tha
characteristics of the American Navy
have had a majority of their member
ship composed of sea-going officers ,
country to the statement made by
RetiU'rtlahl. The second one contra
dicts the .statement that none of our
battle ships has its main armor belt 6
inches above the water when fully
equipped. It is asserted that our ves
sels show from JS inches to 11 feet 0
inches < f armor belt above the water
line when fully equipped. As to tha
alleged low freeboard of our ships , the
Scientific American points out that ,
wiili the single exception of the Dread-
nauit. ! there is not a ship in the Brit
ish Navy with the forward deck 28 feet
hi.gh. As to the broadside guns , tha
wrirrr holds that they are as high as
similar uns in the German and Japa-
IKS : > navies , and from 2 toH { . feet
higher than those of some of the mod
ern P.ritish battle ships. The writer
concludes that American ships in the
mttvr of heavy armor are ton for ton
superior to the ships of other navies
The rc.MiliS of exhaustive experi
ments conducted by the Bureau of
Chemistry of the Department of Agri
culture to determine the poisonous ef-
tect of such drugs as borax , betizoifl
ari.l. benxoato of soda , sulphate ol
copper , sulphur dioxide , formaldehyde
ai'il salicylic acid when used as pre-
servativts in foodstuffs have been out
lined before the House Committee on
Agriculture by Dr. II.Y. . Wiley , chief
of th" bureau. The main conclusion
is thit the expulsion of these and kin-
tired drills from the body shortens the
term of the average man's life in the
Tiiiietl States , and that kidney dis
ease , so prevalent among Americans ,
is largely the result of constant intro
duction into the system of such sub
stances. Dr. Wiley told the commit
tee he had discovered that salt solu
tion was a perfect substitute for sul
phur in the whitening and drying of
fruit , and he exhibited samples of ap
ples so dried to prove his statement
Dr. J. Walter Fewkes. an investiga
tor employed by the Bureau of Eth
nology , wiio has been looking into the
origin of the first inhabitants of tha
Island of Porto Rico , now reports hia
conclusion that the West Indies were
formei ! y connected with South A merit
ca. whence came the primitive Carril |
eans to Porto Rico , aud not from Yti
catan. Florida or elsewhere , as held
by the scientists who accept the the
ory o ! ' a prehistoric island extending
almost across the Atlantic Ocean from
the Carribeau Sea to Africa. This fa
bled Atlantis , now supposed to have
been submerged in some change in the
earth's crust , has served as the hypo
thesis to account for immigrations of
primitive man. mammals and plants
from the Old World to the New , thus
accounting for the ruins of Egyptian
pyramids aid : architecture in Yucatan.
Dr. Fewkes virtually shatters this the
ory by asserting that the ridge of tba
Antilles extends from north to south
Instead of from east to west.
That the duty on sugar and tobacc *
be removed is again recommended iq
the report of Secretary of War Taft
on the Philippine Islands. This course ,
he says , is necessary in order to have
these industries attain their former
prosperous condition , and he believes
that the removal of the duty would not
injure any American interest nor af
fect the prices of sugar and tobacco
in this country , lie also urges Con
gress to remove the present restric
tions on the acquisition of mining
claims ; to authorize the insular gov
ernment to conduct an agricultural
bank , and that our coastwise laws be
made inapplicable to trade between
the United States and Philippine
ports. The President concurs in the
Taft recommendations and gives espe
cial praise to Go'veruor Smith and his
associates for their conduct of affairs
in the Philippines.

William .7. Bryan appeared before
the House Committee on Election of
President and Vice President for the
purpose of urging the passage of a bill
providing for publicity of campaign
contributions to the political parties.
He took the ground that all argu
ments used in elections should be used
publicly , and all means employed to se
cure the election of or to defeat a can
didate should be means which the one
using them would not be ashamed to
have the world know. He insisted
that the most important thing to be
done was to make the campaign con
tribution known before the election.
Secretary Cortelyou made it known
that he would begin at once the with
drawal of the government funds from
various bank depositaries in order to
replenish the working cash balance of
the treasury. Tliis action is taken
after hearing from the bankers in all
parts of the country , most of whom
say that the stringency is r.ow a thing
of the p.ist. The withdrawals may j
