LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. 41,aozI

DEAR FRIEND-A year ago was a
great sufferer from female weakness.
My head ached all the time and would
get SO dizzy and have that all gone
feeling in the stomach and was so
nervous and restless that did not
know what to do with myself.
My food did me no good and had a
bad case of whites. Iwrote to you and
after taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound as directed, can
truly say that feel like new woman
and cannot tell you how grateful am
to you.
q have recommended it to all my
friends and have given it to my
daughter who is now getting along
splendidly. May you live many years
to help our suffering sisters. MRS. C.
CARPENTER, 253 GRAND ST., BROOKLYN,

Silk shirt waists that have passed the
cleaning period and are worn at cuffs
and elbows accumulate so rapidly
that their disposition is problem to
the thrifty woman. What to do with
the six or eight useless silk waists
hanging in her closet at the end of
the season needs reflection.
One ingenious economist who has
small daughters carefully rips up the
waist,i washes. turns, or ''gasolenes"
the silk, according to the process it
will stand, and uses the material for
guimpes for her little girls dresses.
Sometimes the full fronts and the up
pers of the sleeves will piece to ad-
vantage and line little jacket for the
child, or the fly fronts of one for her
self, or the freshest parts of two or
three good taffeta waists may be util-
lied as a bodice lining whose patch
work character will not be seen, while
the good fitting qualities of silk lin
ing are obtained.

Work, play, study-whatever it is,
take hold at once and finish it square
ly; then do the next thing, without
letting any moments drop between.
1t is wonderful to see how many hours
these prompt people contrive to make
of a day; it is as if they pick up the
moments which dawdlers lose.
And if ever you find yourself where
you have SO many things pressing that
you hardly know how to begin, let me
tell you a secret: Take hold of the
very first thing that comes to hand,
and you will find the rest all fall into
file, and follow after, like company
of we'll drilled soldiers; and though
work may be hard to meet when it
charges into squad, it is easily van
pushed if he can bring it into line.

DOES 1T PAY TO BUY CHEAP?

A cheap remedy for coughs and colds is all right,

all civilized countries with success IN severe
hroat and lung troubles, ''Boshees German

TIE ARMY CANTEEN IN CANADA.

We observed the following passage
| in a contemporary, quoted from "The
Montreal Daily Witness"
/ Not one drop of intoxicating liquor
is allowed to be sold at any of the mil
! itary camps of Canada. Here at least,
| is an administrative fact on which the
present government has long been
deplored by those interested in our
young men, that the patriotic ardor
that drew them from their homes
many of them for the first time
should bring them into those tempta-
tions into which exhilarating social
conditions betray reckless youth.
Fathers felt bitterly, mothers protest
ed strongly and continuously and COM
M anding officers who had the good
either of the service Or of the young
men at heart greatly deplored the evil.
An evil it was for which there was no
sort of need A considerable maj ority
of the soldiers had never been in the
habit of using alcohol in any form.
If there were those who could not do
without it, such would be regarded,
by the common consent of Canadians,
as unsafe men either for soldiers or as
companions for young men. General
Hutton and the government will have
the unanimous approval Of the people
of Canada in the course they are now
pursuing, which is also in harmony
with all the most modern principles of
campaigning.
Wishing to get further details, we
wrote to HThe Witness" for particu-
lars, and received the response sub
joined:
Editor Christian Advocate: Replying
to your favor of Sept. 10, with clipping
Enclosed credited to "Ibe Witness. .
The sale Of Intoxicating liquor at Can
adam camps Of instruction was pro-
hibited by general orders in 1898. In
October, 1898, DR.. Borden, Minister of
Militia, was informed that the regula-
lions in this respect were not being
strictly enforced, wheIeupon he issued
strict orders that the law must be OBJ
served in it's entirety. Truly yours,
J. J. T AYLoR,
Military Editor Stiffness"
No more transparent sophism than
that of the Attorney General, on
which the War Department gleefully
acted, was ever employed to deprive
the people of what Congress meant to
give them than that by means of which
the law ordering the expulsion of the
canteen from the military stations of
the United States was interpreted SO
as to perpetuate what it was intended
to destroy .-Christian Advocate.

Abraham Lincoln had occasion to re-
buke the bibulous propensities of his
associates. One of the most effective
of these. because administered in Lin

It was on trip down the Potomac

did not feel quite we'll Perhaps he
was trif1e seasick, and he said SO.
In Gen. Porter's words:

thatan opportunity had arisen to make
this scene the supreme moment of his
life, in giving him chance to soothe
the digestive organs of the chief mag

glass Of champagne, Mr.. President.
That is always certain cure for sea-
Sickness Mr.. Lincoln looked up at
him for a moment, his face lighting up
with smile, and then remarked:
No, my friend; I have seen too many
fellows seasick ashore from drinking
that very stuff"
This was a settler for the officer,
and all present joined heartily in the
laugh at his expense.

MRS. M'KINLEY VERY WEAK.
Had to Be Moved in Wheel Chair
After Short Drive Yester-

PLATTSBURG, N. Y, July 29.-President
McKinley's first caller this morning was
George Curtis Treadwell, Governor Roose-
velts military secretary, who bore mes
sage from the governor, bidding the presi-
dent welcome to New York state. The
president spent most of the forenoon in
reading the newspapers and in attending to
his correspondence.
Mrs. Mckinley was feeling stronger than
she did yesterday. After luncheon, a two
seated carriage was brought up with a
a short drive around the grounds.
The drive proved too much for Mrs. Nc
Kinley, however, and they returned to
the hotel in less than half an hour. The
president, assisted by Secretary Cortelyou,
helped Mrs Mckinley from the carriage
to wheel chair, IN which she was wheeled
to her apartments. The president is IA
miliar with the roads in the vicinity of
Hotel Champlain, and after Mrs. Mckinley
the many; beautiful drives along the lake
shore and back into the mountains.
The president and Mrs. Mckinley botn
expressed their sorrow upon hearing Uf
the death of two members of the Twenty
first regiment, which was in the thick of
the fighting in the last battle near Manila.
The Twenty-first regiment was stationed
while the president was here, and each
morning a guard mount was held on the
lawn in front of the hotel, after which
they were reviewed by the president. Mrs.
Mckinley gave the regiment a handsome
silk flag which they carried all through the
defending in the Philippines. The regiment
came to be known as the Presidents Own,
and both he and Mrs. Mckinley take a
special interest In their movements.

LAWYERS MUST PAY THE TAX
Permit Laws in the Indian Territory
Are Held Valid by United
States Court.

MUSCOGEB, /. T., July 29.-(Special)
In the United States court here to-day.
before Judge John r. Thomas, argument
was heard in the matter of the application
of the lawyers residing in the Creek ma
ton who sought by Injunction to restrain
Indian Inspector J: George Wright and
annual tax of SIS imposed upon iawysTs by
the laws of the Creek nation. The penalty
for failure to pay this tax subjects the de-
linquent to removal from the Indian Ter
ritory by the United States Indian agent,
who may be assisted by the soldiers If they
are needed. The lawyers alleged that they
were officers of the United States court
and were not, therefore. subject to the
tax. The injunction was denied and if
the tax is not paid, the lawyers who refuse
to pay will be removed. as no relief will
be extended them by the courts in the way
of injunctions. This decision is of far
reaching Importance, as it practically de-
cides that the permit laws of the different
nations of Indians in the Indian Territory
are valid and can be enforced by the in
terror department through its officers.
