pain OF a corn is a pleasant feeling be-
side the agOnizing ache OF piles. That
is a pain which seems 10 pervade the
whole body. It communicates itself
TO all the parts near the seat Of the
trouble and brings on a heavy, dragging
feeling in the perineum- Those who
have never so suffered do not know what
Il means. II RACKS the nerves prevents

makes man lose flesh as fast as he

Hitchcock transmitted to the house
yesterday a report of the reclamation
service, showing the work done and

lands during ''the season of 1903 .
The secretary says;
1.-The director has stated that tho
practical application Of the provisions
of the law during the one and one.
half years of it's existence has shown
them effective and that so far as can
be forseen at the present time. no
further legislation is required, the
present law having been found to be
of such scope as to accomplish its pur-
pose of reclamation. "
The report shows that while ex.
aminations and surveys have been
made in ail.sections of the arid re-
gion, Nevada is the only state where
actual construction has begun. and
Arizona the only territory
In other states aud territories plans
and specifications are in various stages

quarters because the law is not sufli.
ciently elastic to authorize various
small projects of individual interest
and to permit of more general dis
tribution of funds thrnnRhout certain
states. What appears to p.
progress of the work is also stated to
be matter Of criticism.
