A 16-year-0Id Girl has
Nervous PrOstrati0n
THE REV|V|FYING EFFECTS OF A PROPER
NERVE FOODIDEMONSTRATED.
From the Era, Bradford, Pa.

Several months ago. Miss Cora Watrous,
the sixteen year-old daughter of Mr.. |. c.
Watrous, locomotive fireman. of 81 Clarion
Street, Bradford Penna., was seized with
nervous disorder which threatened to end
her life. The first symptom of the ailment
was a loss of appetite. For some little time
Miss Watrous had no desire to eat and COM
planned of feeling Of extreme lassitude.
This was followed by severe pains in the
head. For three weeks the young lady was
nearly crazed with a terrible headache and
nothing could be procured to give her relief
Finally, after trying numerous remedies,
a physician was called and began treating
the patient. He said the trouble was
caused by impoverished blood, but after
several weeks of his treatment the young
lady's condition had not improved and the
parents decided to procure the services of
another physician. In the meantime Miss
Watrous' nervousness had increased, the
pains in her head had grown more severe
and the sufferers parents had almost given
UP hope of her recovery
1t was at this time that Mr. Watrous heard
OF Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
He found that the pills were highly recon-
r1ended for nervous disorders and concluded
to give them a trial. A box of the pills was
purchased and before they had all been taken
there was marked Improvement in the
girls condititl. After Il half dozen boxes
had been used, the young lady's appetite had
returned, the pain in her head had ceased
and she was stronger than at any time pre-
vinus TO her ili1csS.

There ought to be no hesitation or
any delay whatever further than COM
mon prudence dictates in the establish
ment of the free. market on the water
front of San Francisco. The matter
was fully debated and understood dur
ing the session of the Legislature, and
a bill was passed directing the Board of
Harbor Commissioners to set apart
some convenient portion of the water
front for the purpose. The scheme
should, therefore, be carried out as soon
as can be done with due regard TO le-
gality and the needs of business. 1t is
not at all creditable that any opposition
should be manifest to it. That some
middlemen should seek to delay the
opening of the market is not surprising.
Self-interest prompts them, but that
a market place. A hearing before the
Board of Harbor Commissioners was
accorded a number of farmers, horti-
culturists and others on Thursday,
WUtH Llle llldlltI was HuitS luiy dCDot
ed, and the reasons set out in full why
such a market should be established on
the water front 1t is unnecessary to
enter upon consideration of these rea-
sons now. 1t seems to us that they are
patent and indisputable. We are told
that the producers succeeded, appa-
rently, in convincing the Commissioners
Of the necessity and wisdom of the
market scheme, but the whole subject
was put over until June 1th, when a
farmers meeting is to be held in San
Francisco to canvass the subject and
make strong effort to have steps TAX
en- at once to open the market on
wharves as nearly adjacent to Market
street as can be done. The law is man
datory, and hence it is that we expert
ence regret that there should be felt
the necessity of arguing the matter be-
fore the board at all.

collect additional revenues from artl-
cles of voluntary use, tea and beer for
instance, in order to meet the demands
for the fiscal year. The following sig
nificant paragraph followed that ex-
preston:
Nothing in the theory of protection
interferes with the imposition of fur
ther internal revenue taxes by protec-
tionists. whenever such a course is
found desirable for revenue purposes.
In the future it is almost certain that
we shall be obliged to depend more and
more upon taxes of this nature for nee
essary revenue In the years to come
we must expect a decrease rather than
an increase in the customs revenue to
be derived under the principal sched-
ules of the tariff
All which emphasizes the thought
that has run through this comment
that the settlement of the tariff ques-
ton cannot be safely delayed nor can
the country longer bear the strain OF
this ripping up of schedules biennially
or even after longer periods. The ma
ton demands rest from this fret of un-
certainty. Without it, it will drift into
a far worse condition

The San Jose Herald" regrets that
athletic sports should be promoted on
Sunday, believing that it will turn from
California, or tend to do So the very
population we want most. 1t holds
that this is a matter of business, and
therefore suggests a compromise, name
ly, that a Saturday half holiday be es-
tablished. That is precisely what the
Record Union" has been urging all
along. But then. who is to bell the
cat? How is this desira BILE thing to be
brought about? Are the sharp edges of
human selfishness sufficiently worn
down to make the half-holiday prob
able in California in this century. We
fear not. Nevertheless, as it must re-
suit from growth of public sentiment.
1t is good thing to keep hammering

600 for boxing, tin, etc. and is in eX-
cess of the 10 per cent. allowed for loss,
powder and lead. The above estimate
is based upon the fact that in casting
bullets a six-throw mold will be used,
and that the reloading will be done
with the bench reloading tools. The
time charged is from actual experience
under like conditions. I appreciate the
many difficulties in the way Of adopting
uniform load In reloaded cartridges,
but feel that If all organizations are
required in State shoots to use one kind
of ammunition much would be accom-
plished. / therefore respectfully sug-
gest that the following be adopted, to
be used in reloading cartridges. to be
used in all regular practice
Powder 66 grains, such as is used in
the United States Ordnance Depart
ment; lead. 435 grains; the form of the
bullet to be cylindro-conic; total length,
1.25 inches; length of cylinder, go of an
inch, and the cone 60 of an inch, some
what pointed, cannelures
Reloading should be done under the
general supervision of Brigade Inspect
ors of Rifle Practice and under the di-
rect supervision of Regimental Inspect
or Of Rife Practice.

The story came in the dispatches
of yesterday that the Jewish people
would not attend the polls of the judi
cial election to be held in Chicago June
lth, because it is religious holiday OF
the Jewish faith, a day to be strictly
especially on that day no devout Jew
will make the sign OF the cross which is
required on the tickets used. Now all
that is ridiculous, mere vaporing and
does injustice to the Jewish people. 1t
probably originated in the misappre-
hension, if not in the fancy of some
unscrupulous news-gatherer. We speak
advisedly when we say that there is no
such restriction upon the Jews by their
religion as is stated The 9th day of
June is the first day of Pentecost, and
is day to be observed devoutly, on
which no secular occupation is to be
engaged in. A few of the extremely
radical orthodox people of the Hebrew
faith also observe the second, day, or
of the people of that religion do not find
need for it. 1t is simply excess OF
zeal on the part of the very strictly or
thodox Jews that makes them keep the
second day also. AS for special prohi-
bition about making the sign of the
cross on that day, or any other day at
an election. it is absurd The mark re-
quired upon the election ballot is not
the sign of the cross. 1t is a letter of
the alphabet which Jews, as do other
people, use at any time and on any day.
No matter what it may be called. 1t IS
not a crucifix in the ordinary accepta-
ton of the word The Jew, as rule,
is prompt and courageous in the dis
charge of political duties, and he Will
go to the polls on the 7th of June as he
would on the Sth, the exception being,
as stated, confined to a few of the over
jealous orthodox people of the Hebrew
faith.

Senator Stevens offered an amend
ment to make the bill apply to black

Senator Hits said the bill was a good
one.
Senator Greer said the Stevens
amendment would kill the bill, which
was aimed at insects and not at organ
ic diseases.
Senator Thompson said that the chief
complaint against the bill was that it

peared to be a "woodchuck" in the
interest of the nurserymen of Minneso-

Senator Greer had stricken out the
provision that half Of the fine should
go to the informer.
Senator Stevens had stricken out of
the bill the provision that required
nurserymen and dealers in trees to
furnish the inspector with list Of all
their coStumers and sales.
Senator Sperry declared that the bill
was wrong in it's inspiration, and aimed
to crush out competition. 1t was the

pose of the bill, and 1T was poorly dis
guised by the plea of protection against

WASHINGTON, March ia propo-

new tariff bill as an emergency bill to
check too heavy anticipatory importa-
lions of wooden goods is being consid-
cred by the Republican members of
the ways and means and Republican
leaders in both houses of congress. If
this policy is decided upon the schedule
Will be introduced as an independent
measure, passed by the house after a
short debate and sent to the senate
with the hope that it will be quickly
passed. In the form proposed ii would
be operative from the date of its enact
ment until the tariff bill itself takes
effect. If congress has the tariff bill
under consideration for two or three
months it is probable that enough i'm
portations will have been made in the
meantime to deprile the govel nnaayt-
OF revenues from wool for a year or
more after the new bill goes into effect.

ference today to outline the pro-
gramme for the tariff bill in the house

The programme agreed upon by the
Republicans will be submitted to the

will be adopted by a party vote. Ac-
cOrding to the desire of the trainers
OF the tariff bill no amendments to it
will be made in the house except those
which have the sanction of the COM
mittee.
The Republicans went through the
bill today to correct some errors in the
phraseology. One important change
in rates was made. Asphalt and btu
min not advanced, were put at $1.50 a
ten, and in advanced or improved form
at So a ton.
Chairman Dingley explained that
