Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
The Daughters of the American Revo-
luton in the District are engaged in O
friendly rivalry between the several
chapters to determine which chapter
shall succeed i'll raising the most money
toward the Colonial hall which tho ma
tional society is to build One chapter
has had lecture, another is to give. q
dramatization Of "Alice In Wonder
land" and another proposes to give a
colonial ball. The society is the largest
organization Of women in the country,
believe, and am told that its annual
income is something like 100000 a
year. When you consider that, the pro-
posal to erect a hall which shall rank
with the buildings of the government
does not seem presumptuous, and even
the great scheme of tho society-a Sc
cret as yet-does not seem utterly i'm
possible. Colonial hall is to be built,
congress willing, OH government land,
and it is to be so built that the entire
lower floor can be thrown into ono
room, in which shall be held the inau-
gural balls.
Mason and tho Senate Rules.
The attack of Senator Billy Mason
of Illinois OH senate traditions and sell
alto rules has made him conspicuous
figure in tho capital "I was as radical
as Senator Mason when first came to
tho senate" said Senator Chiffon of
Texas recently, "and thought that tho
rules ought to be changed instanter.
The more ono studies tho matter, how
ever, tho moro one is convinced that
the present system is the proper one.
The trouble is that the advocates of q
change start out with violently un-
true assumption when they say that tho
minority rules the majority, and that
10 votes are ever taken. The fact is
that there never was q measure that had
behind it positive, earnest majority
that did not come to vote. Even the
SO called force bill came to vote
and was displaced, although that meas
ure is often cited rs n case where the
minority defeated legislation. Of course
Senator Mason will get good deal of
attention, and some time ago I would
have agreed with him, but 1 am not
ashamed to say now that have learned
wisdom, and that there arc things that
need reforming a good deal moro than
unlimited debate i'll tho senate.
Speaking of Mason reminds mo that
even being q senator is not by any means
all beer and skittles. Mason came to
Washington determined to answer every
letter that might be sent to him. Ho
has kept his resolve. He has worked ii
hours day. He has kept five clerks
busy all the time, and he told me that
tho answering of his letters SO far has
cost him moro than half his salary.

SIoping Shoulders.

And now, says New York fashion
writer, comes the disagreeable news
that i'll foreign fashion ccntcrs sloping
shoulders arc to reign. Wo have. it
Oh undoubted authority that the Loop
ard cannot change his spots nor man
add ono cubit to his stature, yet will
the modern exponent of fashion cx-
ercisc her ingenuity i'll the alteration of
the anatomy above tho shoulders. For
many years we have worn our shoulders
up to or ears, so to speak. Now all is
to be changed, and the fashionable
woman must assume the virtue of slop-
ing shoulders, though she have it or
not. Seams from neck to shoulder point
are to be heightened, and all fullncss
that remains i'll the top of the sleeve
will tend i'll downward direction. The
shoulders proper will remain where they
are, but will look as if they had received
direct impetus toward the elbow.

To any one suffering from any Of
the ills attendant upon continued loss
of sleep l can and do heartily recon-
mend it. Very truly yours,
-Mayme L. HaineS.
In all cases CT nervous prostration,
nervous indigestion, neuralgia, sleep
lessness, hysteria or incessant head
ache, the objective point of true
remedy like Paine's celery compound
is to make more blood. gather flesh and
increase the number of red, health
giving corpuscles in the blood.
Paine's celery compound fills the YES
sells with red blood, drives out the
dangerous humors and thus gives re-
lief to host Of aches, pains and weak
nesses.
Women and men who have lost flesh
and grown colorless and are subject to
aches and pains, gain quickly in health
from Paine's celery compound. There
is hardly a family of any size where
there is not some member who is feeble,
forever tired and below the standard
of health to whom Paine's celery COM
pound would prove of invaluable help.
Not only does this great invigoratOr
drive out the aches and distresses that
have accumulated because of neglected
rheumatism or neuralgia, but the
liberal gain in flesh and blood that is
always a noticeable and encouraging
result of its use, brings about better
health in the digestive, assimilative
and secretive organs; in other words,
all over the body.
