FARMERS OPPOSE FREE SEED .'Granges of New York and Illinois Declare Against rracuce. i tVOULD LIMIT TO EXPERIMENT WORK ' Vwo Mfmlirri of House Committee Oppose Annual squandering of Money, but Majority Like It for Electioneering;. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. (Speclal.)-The farmers of the country seem to be awaken ing at laxt to the fact that the government eed distribution la a delusion and a snare. Ycur after year congress appropriates bout fJoO.COO for the "purchase and dis tribution of valuable seeds." and each senator and member has assigned to hlro VIM' packages, each containing five pack ets of seeds, of, the commonest possible varieties. There are usually packets of radishes, lettuce, cucumber, watermelons and carrots, or some similar vegetables The Intrinsic value of the collection la fro:.; 2 to 3 cents In each case and no possible good Is served. ' Yet every attempt to cut off the dis tribution Is fought vigorously on the floor of the house. Not one member In ten really believes that the distribution should continue, but not one In twenty seems ko have the courage to vote against the tteni. "Now, however, the state grangers, are beginning to take part in the fight and already New York and Illinois have de clared against the continuance of the practice. The Illinois 'State Orange at Its annual e.sKlon in December adopted the following resolution: "Resolved, As practical and independent farmers, that we call upon congress to abolish its . petty, annoying and needless practice, of broadcasting free and common garden seeds all over the rural districts and we ask that the control cf seed dis tribution be placed under the Department of Agriculture and limited to experiment work." Thus far two members of the house com mit tee on agriculture, Messrs. Wadsworth end Cocks of New . York, have declared against the continuance of the annual squandering of money for seeds which do no good. As a rule members use their packages for electioneering purposes, and of course a majority will vote against the proposition to cut off the supply. If, however, the state granges generally fol low the lead of Illinois and New York It will not be many years before the seed division of the Department of Agriculture Is restored to Its original purpose, the discovery and distribution of new and valuable seeds, Instead of continuing the purchase of the cheapest varieties in order to secure for members of congress as many packets as possible without reference to utility or value. Applicant Cooks Own CSoose. The superintendent of the pension office tells an amusing story of a bad break made by an applicant for a messenger place In the bureau the other day. "The civil service commission cortlfled the cus tomary number of qualified applicants, and as usual I sent for them to look them over. The first on the list was a man of good ap pearance who wore a button showing him to have served In the war with Spain. I put the usual questions and then asked, "You were wounded, were you not?" " "Oh, yes," was the reply. "I had to un dergo a very peculiar operation which left my leg In such shape that I can stoop down with difficulty, and if I remain on my knees a few minutes I cannot get up with out help.' " 'Well,' I said to him, 'when we want to see you again I will write.' ' "The applicant left me and approached the watchman at the door. 'Who Is that man In there?' he inquired. " 'Oh,' answered the watchman, 'that's the superintendent; he's examining appli cants for jobs." " 'Great Scott!' exclaimed the veteran, 'I've cooked my goose. I thought he was a pension examiner and that he' was ex amining me for a pension.' " Rate Dill Prospect Pussies. Since the speech of Senator Lodge on the floor of the senate last Monday every one has been at sea as to the probablo action of the senate In dealing with the Hepburn rate regulation bill. Until thu end of last week It was considered prac tically certain that the Hepburn bill would receive the endorsement of the senate com mittee on interstate commerce with prac tically no amendments. But there are at least six measures of similar Import pend ing In the senate and no one seems to be able to say positively which of the six meets the approvul of the president. Of course there are many senators who are opposed to anything like the regulation of railroad rates by congress. There are others who insist that the sleeping car lines and the express com- COITAGIOUSMOOMOISQH King of all diseases . To Contagious Blood Poison rightfully belongs the name King of all Diseases. It is the most powerful of all human ailments corrupting every part of the body and wrecking and ruining the lives of those unfortunate enough to contract it. When the first eign appears in the form of an insig nificant Bore or ulcer, few persons realize that the deadly viru9 has entered the blood; but so potent is the poison that one drop will vitiate and pollute the purest and healthiest blood, and in a short time the degrading and hor rible symptoms begin to appear. The moulb. and throat ulcerate, the glands la the neck and groins swell, the hair and eye-brows fall out, copper-colored spots appear on the body, and ia the latter stage of the disease the poison even works down and destroys the bones. Ko other disease is so highly contagious, and many have contracted it and suffered its awful consequences through a friendly hand-shake, handling the clothinj of one afflicted with it, or drinking from the same vessel. S. S. S., The King of Blood Purifiers is the only cure for Contagious Blood Poison. It goes down into the cir culation and forces out every particle of the virus. It is nature's antidote lor this peculiar poison, and cures the disease in all its stages, and cures it permanently. S. S. S. does not hide or cover up any of the poison to break out in future vears. but so com pletely eradicates it from the blood that no signs are ever seen again. S. S. S. is purely vegetable, we offer li.ooo for troof that it contains a oar- ticle of mineral of any kind.

But the absolute inequality of express rates and the utter lack of uniformity in sleeping car rates is so apparent to any one who has given the subject any attention what ever, that while the railroad rate bill may not Include these corporations within its provisions, there will doubtless be an at tempt at legislation to regulate sleeping car charges and express rates before the end of the present session. The difficulty In enacting legislation of this character, however. Is great, and it Is by no means likely that a bill can be put through hav ing this object in view for some time to come. It is far more likely that a parcels post system will be Inaugurated which will give the people of this country equal right3 with the citizens of Europe in the matter of transmitting small packages to various points In the I'nlted States. It Is a fact not generally known that a pound package can be sent from London to San Francisco today for less than a half the cost of send ing a similar package vrom New York to Omaha. Bill for Metric System. Representative Littauer has introduced a bill to establish the metric- system as the government standard. Last year when a similar bill was under consideration some thirty or more business men from all parts of the country appeared In opposition and their arguments against the adoption of the change were so strong that the measure was not even brought to a vote. This year the hearings are confined so far to listening to those who favor the change, and it is worthy of note that most of them are men who favor the change from an academic standpoint. As a rule the great manufacturing Interests of the country op pose the change. It Is argued that to In troduce the metric system in this country would mean a practical revolution in the manufacturing Industries and that the cost would aggregate hundreds of millions of dollars. Ten or fifteen years ago a bill of similar Import was passed by the home "by unani mous consent," when no on was looking. But on the following day a motion to re consider was adopted by practically a unanimous vote and then the measure was "laid on the table." Four Submarine Torpedo Boatsi The committee on naval affairs of the house of representatives Is now considering the naval appropriation bill. But It will he some days before the Items providing for an Increase in the vessels In the navy Is reached. It seems to be a foregone conclusion, however, that unless the Chi nese war scare changes the situation ma terially within the next few weeks, that there will be no more than one new battleship authorised. But while battleships, which tost M.000.000 or $E.UOO,000 each, are not attractive to the members of the committee, there is a grow ing disposition on the part of those gentle men to Increase the flotilla of submarine torpedo boats. The action of the presi dent of the United States last summer In taking a short trip on one of these ves sels attracted more attention to this new type of fighting vessels than was ever accorded to them before. 81n-e that time reports hsve come from England to the : effect that ths British Admiralty has d- elded to materially Increase the number of gunboats of this type, because their effectiveness has been demonstrated be yond question. Then. too. France, after a series of ex periments during which a number of dif ferent types of submarines have been tested, has decided to follow the English lead and to place In commission series of units of five or six submarines each, all of the same type, though of different displacement. Since the first of those ves , sels was purchased for ths United States navy the builders of this style of tor pedo boat have mad remarkable stride j towards perfecting vessels of this type. I Today th submarine can dive quicker and stay under water longer, besides making greater speed, than ever before. What Is far more important Is that many of th officers of the Navy department, who were first disposed to decry the building of sub mergeable vessels, are - today the most earnest advocates of this particular means for coast defense. One of the strongest cards In favor of the building of sub marines, which Is having Its effect with the naval committee, Is the fact that a dozen boats of this character can be con structed while one battleship Is being de signed, and It is now admitted that Com mander Walnwright was right when he said three years ago that the submarine offers the most effective means of harbor defense that has yet been devised.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How I'sefol It la la Preserving; Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few real! II value taken into the human system for th same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the mor you take of it th better; It ia not a drug at all, but simply absorbs th gases and Im purities always present In the stomach and intestines and carries them out of th system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok ing, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Improve the complexion, It whitens th teeth and further acts a a natural and eminently safe cathartic. ' It absorbs injurious gases which collaot In the stomach and bowels; it disinfects th mouth and throat from th poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In on form or another, but probably th best charcoal and the most for th money I In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they si composed of th finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form or rather In th form of larg. pleasant tasting lozenges, th charcoal being mixml with honey. Th dally us of these lozenges will soon tell In a much Improved condition of th general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and th beauty of It Is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on th contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician In speaking of th benefl of charcoal says: "I ad vis Stuart Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas In stomach and bowels, and to claar th complexion and purify th breath, mouth and throat; I also believ th llvr Is greatly benefited by th dally us of them; they ft but 16 cents a box at drug stores, and although In loroi sens a patent preparation, yet I believ I gt nor and better charcoal In Stuart Charcoal Lozenges than In any of th ordinary ahaj coal .Ubltts,"
