IT'S sad to see a woman growing old before her
time
All broken down and helpless when life should
hold its prime;
She feels herself a burden when a blessing she
should be
And longs for death to bring her release from
misery.
If these poor, discouraged women who
suffer from diseases peculiar to women
could only know that health could be re-
gained by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, how eagerly they would
hasten to avail themselves of it. They
ought to know it, and try it. Every
woman who is still healthy ought to be
told about the wonderful virtue in this
medicine, and understand h it is a
safeguard against the terrible diseases
common to her.sex. It is guaranteed to
give satisfaction or money paid for it will

The difference between the 1928, 498 re-
ceived and the s576, 226.15 expended is a
trifle under $53, 600, which represents the
deficiency for this year. These defcien-
cies go regularly into the bond account
and become a new lien on the holdings of
the taxpayers. The water debt of the city
is close on to IS, 600, 900, that of Newark is
50, CSC, 900 in coupon and 1902, 900 in regis
tered bonds. The works of the two cities
adjoin Zach other in the Passalc river.
Both have about the same service to per-
form. The constant drains upon the re-
sources of the Jersey City works have put
on them, however, a debt away beyond
the value of the plant. while Newark is
said to be fairly worth the money repre-
scented by the indebtedness on it.

furnish SO clear and concise information
on any other point as on that of the peren-
NAL deficiency. Its effect, without say
ing that is its purpose, is to conceal the
reasons for the deficiency. The Registrar
explained to the reporter that water
rate salaries represent the pay of the
men in his office; that current expense"
account represent supplies; hat "exten-
sion and distribution" covers expendi-
lures for labor and supplies; that the
"water-pipe outlay represents the cost
OF new pipe; that expenses of pumping
and reservoirs are largely for supplies
and cost of work done to pipes. Thus,
material n labor are so Jumped that
1T is impossible for II to see just what of
each was procured and paid for, and
when the reporter asked Mr.. Healy first
and hen Chief Engineer Ruggles after
wards to classify the accounts on that
basis. neither could do it without giving
up time he could not spare.
A few of the items in the Newark De-
partment's water report placed in juxta-
position with some of the items furnished
the reporter by Registrar Healey serve,
however, to show tha5 gross extravaganza
is responsible for the shortages. The two
cities draw about the same supply leach
IS, DOC, 900 gallons q day-from the river.
They both have to pump the water at the
intake, and to maintain a special service
elsewhere to reach the higher points
within their territory, and the cost of get
ting the water should be about the same
in each, but the figures show that Jersey
City has to pay very much more than
Newark for practically the same service.

The item of repairs does not appear in the
Water Registrars table. The $1,000 esti-
mate is that furnished by Chief-Engineer
Ruggles to the reporter. He says that it is
buried in the Extension n Distribu-
ton" account, which seems to be a sort of
Pandora's box for all kinds of claims
Assuming that Mr.. Ruggles knows, and
that the item is correct, Jersey City
spends fifty per cent. more for getting
the water into the pipes than Newark.
The figures showing the salaries paid at
Belleville by the two cities are the
strongest possible confirmation of the
charge frequently made that the works
at Belleville are fairly overrun with
''neelers" who do nothing for their
salaries.
The difference between the expendi-
lures for coali is scarcely less notable. For
the last two or three years it has been
openly alleged that the Jersey City
Street and Water Board, which has the
water works in control, has dom no n
of juggling to get the coal contract into
the hands of the right man. The result
of it all is that Jersey City pays $57 900
n over for the same coal service that
Newark gets for $4,000.
Comparisons that are yet to be made
will demonstrate that the same system of
extravaganza that marks this little branch
of the water service extends all through
the department, and that, recklessly as
the indicted Big Four squandered the
public funds which the Water Depart
ment placed at their disposal, the Ring
has more than matched them at the
6ramn HeHE.

The British House of Commons IS.
perhaps the most powerful organization
of men in the world, but its great au-
thorjty and dignity did not prevent it
from being thrown into some confusion
on recent occasion, by very small
enemy.
One of the members, Sir John Gorst,
had taken the floor to address the
House, when it was perceived by a,
number of members that mouse had
taken the floor at the same time, and
was running exactly in the direction of
the spot occupied by Sir John.
Certain of the members could not re-
frain from cries of surprise at seeing
the mouse make this movement. The
cries frightened the mouse and caused
him TO turn back and run toward the
benches occupied by the members.
This threw the front bench into some
confusion, which only frightened the
mouse the more. He attempted to-
take refuge in the trousers leg of an
honorable member, and this gentleman
Immediately began a series of leaps
and bounds in an attempt to free him.
self from the mouse.
In an instant the chamber was in
confusion. The mouse, escaping from
the honorable member with whom he
had taken refuge, ran this way and
that. Numbers of the members jumped
upon the benches which serve them as
seats. The question before the House"
became show shall the little animal be
got rid off,"
All at once the mouse found his way
to the hole in the floor through which
he had entered. He disappeared;
members got down from the seats, and

In the Senate, on the 18th inst, Mr.. Hoar,
from the Judiciary Committee, reported back
the House amendment to the Senate antitrust
bill with an amendment. Messrs Vest and
Coke stated that, members of the committee,
they did not concur in the report and Mr.. H9ar
explained the effect of the action recommended.
The matter went over. Uhe Senate bid to

BUSINESS LOOKING UP.
Substantial Improvement During the

Week in General Trade.
New York dispatch Bradstreet's
estate Of Trade says;
Special kilograms report substantial
gains in the improvement of general
merchandise, notably at western and
southern points. Exceptionally favor
able reports come from the recently
flooded region of Louisiana, where the
demand for goods is more than meeting
the expectations and collections are inn
proving. In the northwest higher
prices for farms products have stimu-
lated trade and made collections easier.
In some regions, however, frosts
affected previously bright crop out

opposite influence. San Francisco adj

present too gloomy an aspect. On May

breadstuffs to Australia, significant
fact, sending to Sydney 1928 centals
of corn and 225 barrels of flour.
The official report OF the production
of iron and steel in the United States in
1899, just published, is accompanied by
the specific admission that the excessive
productive pig-iron capacity is back of
the existing weakness of the late de-
cline in prices of crude iron, which cor
roborates our statement of week ago
as to increasing stocks of pig-iron.
The number of strikes during the first
nine days of May exceeded all previous
records for d similar period. They
number l45, involving probably no
fewer than sc, 900 strikers. There were
siXty-fve strikes on May alone. Thus
far the strikers have made substantial
gains. The carpenters strike for q
shorter day has practically succeeded,
meeting at New York and Brooklyn
hardly any opposition. In Illinois $4,000
