The Nashville Centennial appro-
priation bill didn't pass Congress.
Neither must 1t pass the next Legis-
lature. But the way to prevent that
is for the people, not the political
boodlers, to nominate the men to go
there. The tax payers could save
lots of money if they would take
more interest in politics.

wood Frames Displacine Steel.

The surprising displacement of steel
rims by wooden ones has led manu-
lecturers to experiment with wooden
frames. One company has put out
1000 of their wood-frame cycles, in
which the diamond" is a single lumi-
mated structure of hickory strips, one
eighth inch thick, laid up in waterproof
cement. These frames are claimed to
be both lighter and stronger than steel
pnes. There are in adj about five COM
panies in the United States which make
wOoden-framed wheels, and one COM
pany at Trenton makes a rattan-frame
machine. In regard to the employ
ment Of wood in the construction OF
wheels, although it is well known that
wooden riD1s are liable to warp, the
best-inforn ed authorities are of the
opinion that it's real rival. for this pur-
pose at least. must be looked for, not
in steel, but in some other fibrous MAJ
terial, perhaps MANILA paper.

but such rooms are necessity in the

that draw pupils from a large area.

preciate this fact, although some of the
conservatives are slow to accept new
idea that seems to verge on the revolu.
tionary.

A woman is sick; some disease pecu-
liar to her sex is fast developing in her
system. She goes to her family physi-
clan and tells him story, but not the
story. She always holds something
back, loses her head, becomes agitated,
forgets what she wanted to say, and
finally conceals what she ought to have
told, and thus completely mystifies
the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctor fails to cure the disease? Still,
we cannot blame women, for it is very
embarrassing to detail some of the
symptoms of her suffering even to her
family physician.
It was for tins reason that years ago
Mrs. Lydia E. Pin6ham of Lynn, Mass,
a woman of great experience and OBJ
servation, determined to step in and
help her sex. Having had considerable
experience in treating female ills with
her wonderful Vegetable Compound,
she encouraged the women of America
to write to her for advice in regard to
their complaints, and being woman it
was easy for her ailing sisters to pour
Gnto her ears every detail of their suf-
fering. In this way she was able to
do for them what the physicians were
unable to do, simply because she had
the proper information to work upon,
and from the little group of women
who sought her advice years ago great
army of her fellow-beings are to-day
constantly applying for advice and re-
lief, and the fact that more than one
hundred thousand of them have been
successfully treated by Mrs. PinlIham
during the last year is indicative of the
grand results which are produced by
her unequalled experience and training
oct If

mail shall arrive and depart at stated
times, from each post office. We be-
lieve that in many cases and on many
routes, better service can be got from
the bicycle than from any other vehicle,
and there is no reason why riders should
not be asked to compete for contracts
to be let for carrying the mail between
towns not reached by railroads. AS
bicycle riders can make better time over
roads they can use at all than stage
drivers or horsemen, the wheel will be
given the preference, all other things
being equal. Of course, this decision
would not have been made but for the
fact that the delivery of the mail by
bicycle in cities has been entirely salts
factory"
Whether many bicyclists can be in
duced to take up the business of the
carrying of mail is, however, an open
question, since the pay of ''star route"
carriers is small, and the carrier is
obliged to go over his route at specified
times, no matter what difficulties are in
the way, and entirely regardless of the
weather, or the state of the roads. Oh.
viously, bicycle mail carrying cannot be
made a success except in the summer
time, in the country districts of the
northern states. In the fall and spring
the roads there are liable to be bottom
less quagmires, and in the winter to be
blocked with snow. In those western
regions, where the pony mail service
has hitherto been employed it is hardly
likely that the bicycle could be used adj
vantageously at any time of the year,
for there the roads are often mere trails.
A week is the longest interval elaps-
ing in any instance between mail deliv.
cries. Some star route riders make two
trips day. The route between Bolton
Landing and Lake George, N. Y, dis
tance of 91a miles, is covered six times
a week, the schedule time between sta.
tions being three hours. The holder OF
this contract must file bond of 5000,
signed by two. sureties, and the com.
pensation is $156 year. The route
from Garnet to Johnsburg, N. Y, is
71s miles long, and the trip is made
three times week, the schedule time
between the stations being two hours.
In this case the carrier files guarantee
bond of $500, and receives the munifi-
cent salary of $3.50.
At the present time nearly all the
routes similar to these two are covered
by stage drivers, who are able to supple
ment the scanty pay received for carry
ing the mail by fees from chance pas.

A new field is about to be opened to

bicycle has been employed by carriers
to deliver letters from house to house

No physician in the world has had
such a training, or has such an amount
of information at hand to assist in the
treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local irritation to the
most complicated diseases of the womb.
This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs.
Pinkham in her laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, is able to do more for the ailing
women of America than the family
physician who is in daily communica-
ton with his patient. Any woman,
therefore, is responsible for her own
suffering who will not take the trouble
to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
The testimonials which we are con-
stantly publishing from grateful wo-
men establish beyond doubt the
power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound to conquer female dis
eases.
A STANDING INVITATION.
Women suffering from any form of fe-
male weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
LYNN, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of eX-
perience which she has to draw from it
is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your good will, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely,
any woman, rich or poor, is very fool
ish if she does not take advantage OF
this generous offer of assistance.

The tendons and cartilages of meats are

No flesh is healthy too soon after the
