A mother and her baby can have lots of
fun together if they both are well and strong
and hearty. Health makes them good
natured and happy; but all the delights of
motherhood are lost if the mother is weak
and ailing.
Mothers of young children are subject to
heavy draft upon their physical resources,
and their heath ought to be specially forti-
fed, both before and after the baby is born.
The most remarkable strength-sustainer
for women is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. 1t imparts health and endurance di-
rectly to the organs, appendages and nerve
centers concerned in maternity. 1t makes
motherhood perfectly safe and nearly pain
less.
makes her capable and cheerful; insures
abundant nourishment for the baby; and
completely reinforces the vitality of both
mother and child.
1t is the only scientific medicine devised
by an educated experienced physician for
the express purpose of strengthening and
healing woman's special organism.
The reasons why it is the most perfect
and successful remedy of its kind in the
world are more fully explained in one chap
ter of DR.. Pierce's great thousand-page illus

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
New Regulations for Five Civilized
Tribes Are Imperative.

For a number of years II has been ap-
parent that the condition of the five civil
ICED tribes in the Indian territory under
treaty provisions with the United States.
with the right of self-government and
the exclusion of all white persons from
within their borders, have undergone so
complete a change as to render the contin-
uance of the system thus inaugurated
practically impossible. The total number
of the five civilized tribes. as shown by
the last census, Is 5.4S4, and this number
has not materially increased while the
white population is. estimated at from
2OO, 600 TO 100000. which, by permission of
the Indian government, has settled in the
territory. The present area of the Indian
territory is %, 5645i6 acres. much of which
is very fertile land. The United States
citizens residing in the territory, most of
whom have gone there by invitation or
with the consent of the tribal authorities.
have made permanent homes for them
selves Numerous towns have been built,
In which from 1000 to 500 white people
now reside.
Valuable residence and business houses
have been erected in many of them and
large business enterprises are carried on
In which vast sums of money are en-
ployed. and yet these people, who have
invested their capital in the development
of the productive resources of the coun-
try. are without title to the land they &C.
cupy and have no voice whatever in the
government of the nations or tribes.

born in the territory are of school age.

QUARANTINE LAWS.
Appointment of Bacteriol0gical
COmmissiOn Also Recommended.

The recent prevalence of the yellow fever
In number of cities and towns through
out the South has resulted in much dis
turbance OF commerce and demons ira ted
the necessity of such amendments to our
tions of the national quarantine author.-
ties paramount.
The secretary OF the treasury. in that
portion of his report relating TO the opera
ton OF the marine hospital service calls
attention to the defects in the present
quarantine laws. and recommends amend
ments thereto which will give the treas
ury department the requs;,e authority to
prevent the invasion of epidemic diseases
from foreign countries. and in times OF
emergency. like that of the past summer.
Will add to the efficiency of the sanitary
measures for the protection of the people
and at the same time prevent unnecessary
restrictions of commerce. l concur In his
recommendation.
In further effect to prevent the invasion
of the United States by yellow fever. the
importance of the discovery of the exact
cause of the disease, which up to the
present time has been undetermined, has
been obvious. and to this end a systematic
archaeological investigation should be
made. l therefore recommend that con-
gress authorize the appointment of a
commission by the president to consist OF
four expert psychologists, to be selected
from the medical corps of the marine hos
pital service. one to be appointed from
civil life. one from the medical corps of
the army and one from the navy.

A Big Bit of Chalk.

A sheet of chalk more than 1000 feet
in thickness underlies all that portion
of England which is situated to the
southeast of line crossing the island
diagonally from the North Sea at
Marlborough Head to the coast of the
English Channel in Dorset. This mas
sive sheet Of chalk appears again in
France and as far east as the Crimea,
and even in Central Asia beyond the
Sea of Aral. There can be little ques-
ton that all these now isolated patches
were once connected in a continuous
sheet, which must, therefore. have oc-
cupied superficial area about 5000
miles long by nearly 1000 broad. And
TO think that these enormous deposits
are made up of the microscopic remains
of minute sea animals.

THE CIVIL SERVICE
Room for Further improvements
Which viii Re Made

The important branch of our govern
mtnt known as the civil service the prac-
teal improvement of which has long been
a subject of earnest discussion, has of
late years received Increased legislative
and executive approval. During the past
rev months. the service has been paced
on Il stiil fitmer bass of business meth
obs and personal merit. While the right
or our veteran soldiers TO reinstatement
in deserving cases has been asserted, dis
m.ssals for merely political reasons have
been carefully guarded against, the exam
nations for admittance to the service
enlarged and at the same time rendered
less technical and more practical and d
distinct advance has been made by giving
hearing before dismissal upon all cases
where incompetency is charged or n de-
mand Is made for removal of officials in
any of the departments.
This order has been made TO give the ac-
cused his right to be heard without In
any way impairing the power of removal.
which should always be exercised in cases
OF lnefnciency or mcompetency, and which
Is one of the safeguards of the civil ser
vice reform system. preventing stagna-
ton and deadwood and keeping every
employe keeniy alive to the fact that Sc
curity of tenure depends not on favor
but on his own tested and carefully
watched record of service. Much, of
course. still remains to be accomplished
before the system can be made reasonably
perfect for our needs. There are places

to be exempted and others unclassified
may properly be included. | shall not hes

been improperly included in the classifi ID
service or include those which. in my judg-
ment will best promote the public ser
vice. The system has the approval of the
people and it will be my endeavor to up
hold and extend 1t.
| am forced by the length of this mes
sage to omit many important references
TO affairs OF the government with which
congress will have to deal at the present
session. They are fully discussed in the
departmental reports. to all of which |
invite your earnest attention.
The estimates of the expenses OF the
government by the several departments
should have your careful scrutiny. While
congress may find II an easy task to re-
duce the expenses of the government 1t
should not encourage their increase.
These expenses will. in my Judgment, add
nit of a decrease in many branches of
the government without injury to the pub

ceipts of the government and thus prevent

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
Arrume nts for Liberal ApprOpri-
alton by Congress.

The acceptance by this government of
the invitation of the republic of France
to participate In the universal exposition
Of 1900 at Paris was immediately followed
by the appointment of special commits
sioner to represent the United States in
the proposed exposition with special ref
erence to the securing of space for an ad-
equate exhibit on behalf of the United
States.
The special commissioner delayed his
departure for Paris long enough to ascer-
tain the proba bie demand for space by
American, exhibitors. His inquiries de-
veloped an Almost unprecedented interest
in the proposed exposition. and the infor-
nation thus secured enabled him to justi-
fly an application for a much larger al
lotment Of space for the American section
than hadsbeen reserved by the exposition
authorities. The result was particularly
gratifying in view of the fact that the
United States was one of the last coun-
tries to accept the invitation OF France.
The reception accorded our special COM
missioner was most cordial, and he was
given every reasonable assurance that
the United States would receive consid-
Grafton commensurate with the proper
lions of our exhibit.
The report of the special commissioner
as to- the magnitude of the coming expo
sition and the demand for space for Amer
lean exhibits supplies new arguments for
q liberal and judicious appropriation by
congress to the end that an exhibit fairly
representative of the industries and re-
sources Of our country may be made in
an exposition which will illustrate the
worlds progress during the 10Th century
The exposition is intended to be the most
important and comprehensive of the long
series of international exhibitions of
which our own at Chicago was brilliant
example. and 1t is desirable that the
United States should make a worthy ex-
hibit of American genius and skill. and
their unrivaled achievements in every
branch of industry.

Prof. Walter T. Scheele. scientist of
Railway, n. j.. has sounded what he
claims Is the death knell of the mos
quito. and 1t is to be hoped for the
sake Of long suffering people that his
claim is correct. Living as he does In
New Jersey. famed In the funny papers
as the home Of the largest and most
warlike members of the mosquito tribe.
he has had ample opportunity to study
the insects. and at the same time plen-
ty of incentive. I'm the shape of attacks
from the pests. to work toward their
destruction. 1t is well known that mos
quitoes breed on the surface of the wa.
ter in swampy places, and the profess
sor's idea Is to kill the eggs while still
on the water and before they are hatch
ed. To do this he throws into the wa
ter small quantity of permanganate
of potash, and when this dissOlves 1t
instantly destroys the life in all the
eggs lying on the doctOred water. He
has made experiments In his laboratory
and found that with one small pinch
of permanganate he can kill all the
mosquitoes in a 1000 gallon tank of
water. On this basis, he says. two or
three ounces will be sufficient to treat
a ten-acre area. II the professor knows
what he Is talking about, the exter-
mination Of the annoying insects should
not be a very difficult matter.
