attending the worlds convention of the
W. G. T. o., says that better health for
women is today a more urgent matter
than woman's suffrage.
She says: "What women at present
most need is better supply of red
corpuscles."
From every section of the country, from
Maine to California, come well.attested
reports of women, bloodless, dyspeptic,
nervous, seriously run down, and in
many cases SO weak as to be bed-ridden,
who have been enabled to resume their
places in the family circle and in social
lifs-healthy. ruddy, wel1-curedl women,
by the aid of that great blood-maker and
health maker, Paipe's celery compound.
Mrs. E. A Ward is one of these fortu-
nate women whom Paine's celery COM
pound has saved from an ailing, unhappy
invalid condition, as her letter shows:

Why MR.. DOLE COMES.

Washington, January 1A-Mr. Lorin
A. Thurston, formerly Hawaiian minister
to the United States and at present in
his city as the islands representative in
behalf Of the annexation treaty today
made the following statement relative to
President Dole's mission to the United
States: The Hawaiian legislature meets
in February. II annexation takes Llaoe
there will necessarily be some legislation
to adapt the laws to the changed condi-
tions. If it is not to take place the
funding of the bonded debt will probably
be taken up, which would not be if an
nexation is to take place. There being
no cable communication and the malls
being SO slow and SO far apart the infor-
nation obtained by letter being at best
usually unsatisfactory, President Dole
determined to come tosWashington and
observe the conditions for himself in
order to guide him in making recommen-
dations.
The state department has received
notice from United States Minister
Sewal at Honolulu that President Dole's

n srvous women who, as a rule, are thin
and lack blood. recommend Paine's celery
compound as beyond all question the one
remedy that can be depended on to renew
the vitality of feeble persons.
This settled confidence in Paine's celery
compound is not hearsay belief. but
tests in nearly every case on personal Use
or acquaintance with men or women who
have been restored to useful health by nc
other means. The rapid change for the
better in color, flesh and expression OF

The process by which Paine's celery
compound is able to build up health
in the run down body is not hard to un-
derstand when one observes how surely il
disposes the bowels to act regularly. how
it increases the capacity to take and as
simulate food, and regulates the nerves all
over the body.
Ihesheavy, alarming pain in the back
and loins disappears, the growing pale
ness and loss Of flesh is stopped and 6
bright, buoyant feeling gradually takes
the place of that unending sense of tire

THE CURRENCY HEARING

Washington, January 14.-Mr. Robert
S. Taylor, of Indiana, member Of the
Monetary Commission, was again before
the House Banking and Currency Com
mittee at today's session. He referred to
the inadequacy OF the banking facilities
in the south and west and suggested for
the present this country must look main
ly to independent. small, local banks for
the relief which is needed, though he
conceded an extensive system OF branch
banks might have a more effective ten
dency to equalize rates OF interest.
Mr.. John W. Fries, the North Carolina
member of the committee, sketohed the
prevailing conditions in the south and
Particularly in his own state. He said
that the people of North Carolina were
clamoring,,for money. He did not think
that this meant cheaper money but better
facilities for the transaction of business.
This could only be secured by the estab-
lishment OF suoh a banking system as
would make it possible for the people to
get those facilities
MIR. Fries statement lasted throughout
the day. The committee adjourned until
Monday when Secretary Gage and ex-
Secretary Fairchild will be heard further.

quirinal the establishments of an Italian
republic. sThe article which is based on
the Pope's Christmas allocutiDn, declares

BURNED AN INNOCENT MAN.

Earlboro, l. T., January 14.-Exclte.
ment is still intense here over the recent
burning at the stake of two Seminole
Indians. Here public sentiment has fav-
ored the lynchers.
At Weoak, the capital of the Seminole
nation the sympathy is all the other way,
for it Is believed that TIE lynchers tor
tured and killed at least one innocent
map.
AS no attempt was made by the lynch
ers to hide their identity, it is probable
that the leaders will be arrested by the
United States authorities.
The Indians are sullen. White men
who have lived with them for years, state
that general outbreak will not occur.
but there is great danger that the
Indians will revenge themselves by kill
ing the ten leaders of the mob.

tricts. and consolidating the service in

houses and the number of officials in

to Congress in the form of II recommen-
dation from the Secretary of the Trea-
sury, and it will be left for that body
to act upon it.
The changes recommended in kMalne
will be as follows
The district of Aroostook will remain
as at present.
The district of Frenchmen's Bay and
Castine will be consolidated with the
trict of Bangor
The districts of Belfast and Waldoboro
will be consolidated into the district OF
Rockland.
The district of Wiscasset will be con-
solidated with that of Bath, the new dis
trict will be called the district of Bath.
The district of Saco, Kennebunk and

district of Portland.
At present the collectors in the vari
GUS Maine districts receive compensation

This makes an aggregate of $50, 900

costs for the salaries of collectors. 1t
is thought that the salaries of the col

be so adjusted that q total of 81 900
