OPPOSED TO UNION LABOR.


Washington, May 13.-Charles M.
Schwab, president of the United
States steel corporation, was before
the industrial commission Saturday.
He said that the United States COM
pany controls eight companies by
owning their stock, and that while
steps are taken to insure the good
will and cooperation of all these COM
panies, each one generally is left to
conduct business it's own way. Emu
merating the advantages of consolida-
ton, Mr.. Schwab said they were
found especially in transportation and
management and in the utilization of
all the ores owned.
Discussing the tariff, Mr.. Schwab
expressed the opinion that in articles
of manufacture in which labor does
not enter as an important factor the
tariff might be removed, but that in
products into which labor enters large
ly, such, for instance, as tin plate,
it would be necessary either to re-
duce wages or lose trade if the tariff
were removed. Mr. Schwab took a
position against organized labor, say
ing that it did not give individuals a
fair chance in life.

than the revenue warranted. Mr.. Hea-

ASTONISHING GROWTH.
Three Thousand Farm Districts Are Now
Covered by Free Rural Delivery OF Mall
Cost of Each Route.

Washington, May 13.-No develop
ment in the mechanism of government
has been so astonishing as the adj
vance in the rural delivery service of
the post Office Departments. Less than
half dozen years ago Assistant Post
master General Jones, of Illinois, re-
ported that the proposed rural free
delivery was not feasible. The entire
influence of the department was cast
against it, but congress insisted on an
experiment, which was continued for
some years. Now the free delivery of
letters in rural communities is only a
question of appropriations. There are
now in operation, only six years aft
er the department, under previous
administration, reported adversely,
no less than 5000 rural free delivery
routes. Each one of these routes
costs annually from $500 to $1,000. In
addition to these, about 500 routes
have already been ordered to be es-
tablished by July 1.

against her. She weighed about 100
pounds when she was in good health.
When she commenced with our family
physician in April, 1898. she weighed
about $50, but kept going down all the
time. She went to Atlanta, Ga, and
took trea tment, but it did her no good.
Then she went to Harmony Grove, Ga,
and took treatment from the best
physician there for three months.
She kept going down under his treat-
ment, although he was considered the
best physician in the county. She
went down from $50 pounds to 6S, and
we saw she could not live long. She
was a skeleton. We consulted an old
ply who told her to use Peruna.
She gradually improved and got
stronger. She has gained 50 pounds
since she has taken Peruna, and is
gaining every day, and does her own
housework.
''She was well known when she was
so low, and now everybody wants to
know what cured her. She had in
digestion and catarrh of the stomach.
It is as good for children as for grown
people. We haven't had to have doc
tor for one of our children since 1898"
