To ALL, particularly invalids, spring is trying
season. Indications Of sickness should at once be
attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by
allowing the bowels to become constipated, and
the system TO remain in dlsOrdered condition,
until the disorder has time to develop itself. An
ounce Of prevention is worth q pound Of cure, is
an old and truthful saying. Therefore, we sd-
wise all who are troubled with the complaints now
very Observation-Disclosures indigestion, disOrdered
liver, want Of appetite, nausea or feverish skin,
to take, without delay Schenek's Mandrake Pills.
We know Of no remedy so harmless and decisive
in its action 1t at strikes at the root Of the
disease and produces a healthy tone to the sys-
TEN. People never need suffer from any disease
arising from disordered condition Of the liver If
they would take this excellent medicine when
they feel the first Indications Of the malady.
Families leaving home for the summer months
should take three or four boxes Of these pills
with them. They have an almost instantaneous
effect. They will relieve the patient Of headache
in one or two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the
liver of surrounding bile, and will efectually
prevent a bilious attack. They are sold by all

What They Did Yesterday.


Quite a number Of the Sioux Indians visited
the navy yard yesterday, and spent an hour
among the big guns. They appear more peace
able and child-like now. II they could only be
made TO carry a battery or two Of those fifteen
inch Long Toms in their G-string pouches, as
silent reminders-Of our proves, it might have a
salutary effect on them. At least they were i'm
pressed with them yesterday. During their per-
Thunder, who paused before one Of the two hun
cred pound stem Winders, taken from the rebel
ram Tennessee, and gTinning semLseriOus
smile, said:
.'Uh, why does the white man follow my path,

But sight Of that gun the mystery solves,
For be evidently desired and intended to blow
me into microscopic chunks"
AT THE NAVY YARD.
The full delegation visited the navy yard yes
teTdaY afternoon about O'Clock, and were re-
ceived by the cOmmsBdant, Commodore Patter-
son, and escorted through the different shops by
that Oficer and Captain o. Z. Badger, captain OF
the yard and equipment Of1cer. They visited the
anChOr-shop, where the tWenty-inch DurgeIOn
steam hammer was put in motion on large piece

scOstisn was playing stream Of water against

Report of the Commissioner of Pen
SiOnS

THE Commissioner of Pensions has fin
ished his annual report, which shows that
there are on the pension rolls 234, 1921 pen
sioners, a decrease of 1 400 from last year.
They are classified as follows: Army in
valids, 105,478; widows and dependent
relatives, 1914 85; survivors of the war of
1912, 1875; widows of soldiers of 1912.
5,163; navy invalids, 1886; widows and
dependent relatives of navy officers and
seamen, 1874. More than II per cent. of
the soldiers Of 1912 died last year The
amount appropriated for army pensions
was $29, 100000, of which $11,74S, 533
were paid to invalid soldiers and for arti-
fetal limbs; SIS, 525, 734 TO widows and
dependent relatives; 1888, 900 to widows
of soldiers of 1912, and 1856, 500 to sol
diers Of 1912, leaving an unexpended bal
ance of 1897 1881, which has been covered
into the Treasury.
| The appropriation for navy pensions
was $3.50, 900, of which all but $34, 051 was
| expended. Commissioner Atkinson esti-
mates that a reduction Of $780, 900 can
be safely made on the appropriation for
next year. There are now pending near
ly 10000 claims Enacted upon, mostly on
account of lack of clerical assistance,
which causes much dissatisfaction among
applicants. The Commissioner recon-
mends additions to the clerical force.
| Legislation is asked to define sufficient
proof of marriage of pensioners widows,
SO as to make evidence of cohabitation
81 Efficient to drop pensioners from the
rolls. Large numbers of pensioned wild
ows are known to be living with
men whom the departments cannot prove
to be their lawful husbands, hence no
authority exists to drop their names.
During last year CTS applications for
bounty land were made, and 407 war
rants were issued, calling for 60, $50 acres
of land.
| The Commissioner recommends the
adjustment of the present system of ex-
aiming surgeons and the appointment of
sixty tirst-class surgeons, at fixed salaries,
who will give their entire time to the
service. He thinks this measure of econ
Omy and one which will facilitate the
payment of pensioners. Fifteen hundred
and thirty claims were investigated by
special agents, of which 800 were found
to be fraudulent. Two hundred and forty
three pensioners were dropped on evil
dence of fraud, resulting in saving nearly
$780, 900. Over $4,000 were recovered
from those who had been draw
ing pensions fraudulently. The Com
missioner thinks the knowledge that
an efficient Secret Service exists prevents
large amount of fraudulent claims being
presented, and recommends the organiza.
ton and enlargement of the service on the
plan now in operation in the Treasury
and POstoffice Departments. Congress is
recommended to authorize the annual
publication of lists of pensioners residing
in each county, publication to be made in
| the paper having the largest circulation,
and that printed lists be posted in court
rooms and other prominent places, which
would expose many cases Of fraud.

THERE are some peculiar facts concern
ing the distribution Of the nightingale in
Europe. 1t is found as far north as
Sweden and as far west as Spain and
Portugal, and yet it never visits Scotland,
Ireland or Wales. From the boundaries
limiting its habitat in England it appears
that the bird is restricted to those portions
of the country which are covered with
secondary or tertiary formations Hence
it may be inferred that the insects on
which it lives do not obtain means of sub
sistence where the primary soil prevails.

Cooking COrn-Stalks.

EVERYONE knows that cattle cannot eat
the stalks of corn that are thrown to them
as fodder, but eat only the blades and tops
An observing farmer will notice that often
the stalks are chewed but not eaten; this
is done by the animal in order to obtain
the juices contained therein-many per-
sons do not believe, that corn-stalk con-
taines any nutriment, but it does. There
are machines made to cut and crush the
stalks fine; but even with this we prefer
steaming. 1t has been proved that warmed
or cooked food is valuable for stock, hence
cooked stalks would be beneficial. Do
not steep the stalks in water and boil them
but steam them. To do this get deep
sheet-iron pan like sugar pan but deeper,
build f1ue and arch in some convenient
place in the same manner that sugar pans
are made; now get frame made of iron
rods the size Of the bottom of the pan in
side, and the rods running the short way
of the pan; these rods should be riveted to
three rods running the long way. Now,
put this frame ON supports three inches
high Or more, and fill III with water nearly
to the rods; put on your stalks after hav-
ing first cut or crushed them, and kindle
the fire under the pan and steam the stalks
until done; then, when cool enough, feed.
This way you have warm feed of nutri-
tious food and the steam does not drive out
the sugar and starch of the stalk OF
course the pan must be made large enough
and kept covered when in use. We advise
crushing the stalk between rollers, or, il
convenient, run through threshing ma
chine before steaming Patron
