Washington Post: OF the many freak
communications which reach the capitol
and the departments, one which came to
the house postoifice yesterday Is deserv-
ing OF the proverblal biscuit. The letter
was addressed to "Tne Congress OF the
United States IN Washington Assem-
bled," and came from resident OF
small settlement in northeastern Texas.
II was written in an entirely earnest
spirit. 1t said:
'Dr. Mister congressman: My dear
wife Amanda has tust been blest by the
appearance OF healthy young boy, Me
and my wife can't agree on no name TO
give the boy and we want you to help us
out. wants him called Dave ana she
wants him called Cy but she won't give
in neither Will /. Now what we want
you to do Is to have document passed
through your body giving him handle
Plese atten' TO the matter as soon as pos
sible. Yours"
The only person around the house TO
whom the letter could have gone through
the regular system OF disseminating the
miscellaneous mail was the private sec
rotary OF Congressman Bailey. He COM
munIcated the contents Of the letter TO n
number OF the employees around the
house. Yesterday afternoon the secre-
tary sent out a,number of typewriter
letters to a dozen or more employees, en-
Joining them to meet In one OF the com
mlttee rooms When the clerks had as
sembled he proposed that they, as sub
stitute house OF representatives in COM
mIttee OF the whole. should attend to the
very urgent Communication which he
had received, and that suitable name
should be selected for the growing young
Texan. Accordingly, q set or resolu-
tions. stIcklers IN their form and precis-
ion, were drafted. with seal attached,
and signature properly affixed, and sent
to the writer. They informed the Texan
that the Congress had taken cognlzance
Of his communication and had acted ac-
cordingly. "The Congress, exercising
power which was vested in 1t by the law

WHAT IS THIS DISEASE CALLED
DYSPEPSIA?

Like thief at night, It steals In upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and some
times In the back. They feel duh and
sleepy; the mouth has bad taste. espe-
cially in the morning. A sort of sticky
slime collects about the teeth. The APP
petite Is poor. There Is feeling Ike
heavy load on the stomach; sometimes
faint all-gone sensation at the pit OF
the stomach which food does not Satisfy
Eyes are sunken, the hands and feet be-
come cold and clammy. After while
cough sets In, at first dry but after
few months II 10 attended with green
ish colored eXpectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and sleep does
not seem to AFFORD any rest. After q time
he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebodings.
There Is q giddiness, sort of whirling
sensation in the head when rising up
suddenly. The bowels becom costive:
theskln is dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant; the whites
of the eyes become tinged with yellow;
the urine Is scanty and high colored. de-
posting a sediment after standing.
There is frequently n splitting up Of the
food, sometimes with sour taste and
sometimes with n sweetish taste; this Is
frequently attended with palpitatlon of
the heart; the vision becomes impaired
with spots before the eyes; there Is q
feeling OF great prostration and weak
ness. All of these symptoms are In turn
present. II is thought that nearly one
third Of our population has this disease
in some OF its varied forms. 1t has been
found that medical men have mistaken
the nature of this disease. Some have
treated It for liver complaint, some for
dyspepsia, others for kidney disease.
etc. etc, but none OF the various kinds
OF treatment have been attended with
success.
Now, the Shaker Digestive Cordial
causes the food eaten TO be dlgested.
This will cause an appetite for more food
and this being digested will result In an
increase of strength, an increase OF flesh
and an increase OF nerve power.
The tired. weary feeling win give way
to vlgor and courage. The pale, thin and
emaciated will recover their color and
plumpness because red blood and fat
are the result OF properly dlgested food.
A ten cent trial bottle Will produce
result. Its good effect will be realized at

Adopted by French MIiiIners-Picture
Hats for Winter.
The entente cordlale existing between
France and Russia has settled the ques-
ton OF feminine fashions for the COM
ing winter. The Partisan milllners
have fairly excelled themselves in
adapting Russian modes to modern
needs, and the result is n bewilderinG
array OF novelties In the way OF head
gear. ANchAt yesterday with a buyer
who has Just returned from over the
seas, gave hint of some charming
styles.
The Pompadour. the Rembrandt and
the English walking hat will be rivals
for feminine favor. The Pompadour
is adapted to the style OF couture OF that
, name. and Is broad brimmed. round
hat, worn well back on the head and
trimmed with dropping ostrich feath-
ers-a trying style, however, becoming
10 none but fresh young faces.
The Rembrandt style. as the name In
dicates. Is a picture hat. laden with
with feathers and recalling the herolnes
OF the cavalier period.
The English walking hat will lead In
style for travel. shopping and the early
morning promenade, and, as the effect
Is low and broad, Il requires the hair to
be dressed in the funny mode, thus less
ening the severity OF the somewhat try
ing style.
Trimming Is heavy and runs to feath-
ers. fur and all sorts Of birds and wings,

which consists OF n wide-brimmed vel

for the youthful face, set off with flow

For white flowers, soak them in the
acid from one 20 three minutes, taking
care not to immerse the green stem and

Of the tissue paper, and do not lay
them in stlffiy, but rather carelessly.
Having filled your sheet OF tissue paper
with the white flowers or those OF very
delicate tints. t. e., light pink, blue and
gray, place the tissue paper between
several folds OF newspaper, and put In
press for one or Two hours.
Repeat this several times, changing
the newspapers after each removal from
the press As the flowers become more
dry change the papers less frequently.
Fragile flowers are well pressed in four
to six days, those having more thick

eight to ten days.
