PATENT OFFICE CHANGES.
Needed improvements Made During
the Year Just Ended.

The most notable advance of the past
wear in the work Of the Patent Office has
bren the establishment of classification
division. the purpose of which is TO thor
ougaIy revise and extend the classification
OF patents and printed publications as it
was formerly carried on in the department.
The necessity for this work after being
repeatedly called to the attention Of Con-
gress. was finally recognized and ar act
entitled AN act for revising and perfect
ing the classification Of letters patent and
printed publications in the Patent Office
was passed by Congress and received the
approval of the President on June 10. 1895
and went into force at the commencement
of the fiscal year.
As a preliminary step toward the estab-
lishment of the division il was considered
desirable to ascertain how much of the
material was available and 10 that end it
was decided 10 TearTange the original draw
ings of all patents in numerical order and
to prepare a list on which they could be
checked. These drawings were heretofore
arranged by suhclasses and il was neces-
sary 10 know the classification of patent
before ii could be found. which often ne
CGSSttdltu u IclE SSdTtu DH tHt HuiIicii
cal arrangement. now adopted il is possi-
hle TO find il at once and at the same
time much storage space is saved.
The work of Encouragement was fraught
with difficulty from the first. for there
were 1000 patents which had no numbers
and were only to be identified by name and
date. The entire work of arranging the
drawings of nearly 100000 patents and
trade marks has been substantially com
pleted.
The work of preparing each patent, in
order 10 place IL in It's proper class, has
also neared completion as regards the back
issues. These patents have, in most in
stances TO be read, in order that they may
be thoroughly understood and much 'care
has 10 be exercised III selecting titles for
each. a card system has been adopted in
the subclasses which will remedy loss or
error on the main list
The bureau Is at present crowded for
space. but it is expected that upon the
removal OF the General Land Office from
the Patent Office building number of the
vacant rooms will be apportioned for It's
use The work of the classification divi-
sion mas already proved a great benefit 70
the office, greatly increasing the accuracy
and rapidity of searches.

THE ATTORNEYS BLAMED.
Their Alleged Plan TO Swell the PEN
sion Rolls.

Twenty-Five thousand applications for
pensions as a result Of the Spanish wa1,
have been filed 1t is said that this IS a
very large number. in view OF the fact that
the war was concluded less than a year
and a half ago and that the loss on the
American side was comparatively lish;.
These applications. It is said, have been
made mainly through the offices OF pension
attorneys in Washington.
The total enlistments for The Cuban and
Philippine campaigns was $4,000. Forty
thousand OF these re-enlisted so that the
net enlistments were approximately 3t0,-
0O0 Therefore, one in every twe-Ve men
who went to the war last year is an ap-
plicant for a pension. The records snow
that $50 members OF the Ninth Massachu-
setts have filed applications for pensions.
Secret Service officers have learned that
Washington pension attorneys are in pos
session of the muster rolls of every volun-
teer regiment that was in the service last
year. They hasa agents at work in every
community in the country from which SOL
diers we're accepted. Up to date they have
filed claims for pensions to cover the case
of every soldier who has been reported
dead. wounded, disabled, or sick by General
Otis. They are enabled TO do this by first
obtaining copies OF Otis cable reports ana
then ascertaning the names and residences
of relatives next of kin OF the soldiers lot
whom they desire 70 ask for pensions.

THE REASON?

Why Is it that you are not equal TO The
task Nature sets for you to do?
Why do you find weakness stealing over
you and growing day by day?
Why that ashy. chalky complexion?
Why that inability to hold your urine?
Why those distressing pains across your

All these symptoms are unmstakable
evidences of kidney trouble
The kidneys, that make the human en-
CINE of life move as Nature intended. are
not working properly and should have

If you need a medicine for kidney,

begin using the famous new discovery.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. 1t gives quick
relief, and cures the most distressing
cases.
Hospitals use it in all kinds of cases,
especially severe and urgent ones. Doc
tors prescribe it freely in their practice
and in their families and use it when they
need a kidney and bladder tonic them
selves.
Tens of thousands of grateful patients
have written to DR.. Kilmer Co, and
these letters have been fashioned into
handy volume of ready reference, which
should be in every household This vol
ume and a sample bottle of Swamp-Roo
will be mailed to any reader of this paper
who will send name and address to DIR.

II there is any doubt in your mind as to
your condition, take from your urine on
arising about two ounces place il in a
glass or bottle and let it stand twenty-four
hours. If, on examination. it is milky or
