 What the South Needs.

If congress provides for a sys- tenn ot postal savings banks at the coming session of congress it will benefit the whole country, but no part of 1t more than the South. where savings banks or any other institution Tn which savings can be deposited are few. The South. therefore, is most deeply interested in the passage of this New Orleans Times Democrat.

 A prospective mother ought to insure her baby's welfare by every means that Nature and science afford to keep her physical powers up to the very highest point Every expectant mother ought to know and avail herself of the strengthening and re-enforcing properties of Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription. It gives health and endurance to the delicate organs concerned in motherhood. Taken early during the period of expectancy. it makes the coming of baby perfectly safe and comparatively easy Ii makes the mother strong and cheerful and gives health and natural vigor to the child
 It is the only medicine of its kind devised for weak and delicate women by an edu- cated, experienced physician
 For nearly % years Dr. Pierce has been chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N, Y.

A sec ond plan is proposed by construc. ton of three locks with movable dams. the estimated cost being s9sO,720. In conclusion the report says: A large portion of the St. Francis valley IS liable to overflow by the Mississippi river. On ac- count of this and the cost of the work, in comparison with com merce likely to be developed, lam of the opinion that the river is not worthy of improvement by dams and locks"

The report of Postmastcr-Ge en- eial Gary, embodying as it does. the reports and recommendations oi the assistant postmaster general, Is an exceptionally important docu. ment. A large part of the volume i' devoted to an argument, to oul mind unanswerable, in favor ot the lrompt institution by this country ot postal savings-bank system. The array of facts and figures mar shaled to show the timeliness and importance of this step ought 10 make deep impression upon the congressional mind. The enor. lnous growth of the postal money. order business is adduced as show ing how the people already patron ize the postal service for the trans mission Of funds. That they would avail themselves of it to deposii their savings IS beyond question Within few years the deposits would be counted by hundreds oI millions. The tune is certainly suspicious for the adoption of this policy of postal savings banks Further than that, however. ii ought to be possible to combine that policy with some plan for the improvement of the currency sys- em.-Review.

Tn New York a short while ago a baby was born in jail. Its mother was be- ing tried for murder. Every womanly heart gives a throb of s y Ill p at h y at thought of the blight upon the poor little e baby's life. But a baby need not be born in jail to be unfortu- nate. Any baby which is not welcomed into this world with loving hearts and ready hands is unfortunate.

The claims of John G.. Lin chan of New

week, but without success. The candidates
were Isaac f. Mack Of Ohio, J. p. S.

lnnis was withdrawn before the balloting

choice. The vote on the second ballot was
never announced officially, but as cast it
stood as follows: Mack 249, Linehan 1913,
Goblin 35S. Before the result could be

Going Crazy.

The excitement regarding Klondke gold
continues to increase. Thousands have
already gone to the land Of promise and
thousands more are talking Of going. Cold
and hunger and starvation have lost their
terrors.
A noticeable feature of the craze is the
formation of syndicates richly endowed.
Over half hundred of these companies
have already been report d, says Chicago
statistician, with a total estimated capital
cation of about $16i ,512, 800.
Among the large cities which seem to be
more severely afflicted with the gold craze
is Chicago, where three syndicates have
been organized with a reported capitaliza-
ton of about $130, 100000.
New York city also is the me of half
a dozen new companies whose object is to
reap golden harvest in the Klondike,
although there is not as much capital rep
resented as in Chicago, the total amount
ing to only about $17 100000 Among
the other eastern cities actively engaged in
organizing companies are Boston, Phila-
delphia and Pittsburg.

PilIsbury, the "FIour King"

Charles Alfred Pill bury, the "flour
king" to whom the recent slump in the
wheat market is generally attributed, on
the theory that he unloaded his holdings. is
the biggest man by long odds in the re-
gion about Minneapolis, Mimi, says the
Springfield Republican. Mr.. Pillsbury is
as widely known as a philanthropist as be
is as a flour factor. He is college-bred
man who has risen through sheer business
ability to towering success. He first
opened his eyes on the world So years ago
in the little town OF Warner, N. H. In
1869 he went West and settled in Mime
opolIs. He went about the study of mill
ing flour in scientific way, and in a sho, I
time mastered it. At that time there were
four or five old-fashioned mills in the town
and MIR. Pillsbury undertook to introduce
new methods by replacing the old stone
grinders with steel ones. In 1872 he en-
larged his plant, took his father and brother
into partnership, and by 1890 be had built
up the largest flour mill in the world. Its
capacity is $4,000 barrels a day. to pro-
duce which are required 20, 900 bushels of
