Custom Clothes

The difference between the ready made and the made to measure clothes for men is that one is made to fit a man your size It may or it may not be ex- actly suited to you, while the made to measure kinds---the kinds we make to measure are made to fit you and no one but you. It is made to reflect your in dividuality.
 And if it's made here only the high est quality of taiors talent and finest materials enter into the suit.

 FOR JOINT STATEHOOD.
MANY LETTERS PASS
Which Show coneiusively the Republi- can Attitude Towards Joint state hood Rili-DeIegate Rodey is Most Active.

The Albuquerque Journal. the Re publican mouth piece of New Mexico. comes out this week with a long arti- Gle headed Shall it Be Statehood or No Statehood" and by the publication of letters from leading Republican Senators and Congressmen. shows con clusively that the Republicans are un alterably opposed to single statehood for Arizona. In support oi It's posi' tive favoring joint-statehood the Al buquerque Journal publishes the fol lowing letters from Republican Sen ators and Congressmen:
 Senator Burnham. of New Hamp- shire, who is a member Of the com mittee on territories of She United States Senate, and who came to the territory in the fall of 1902. with the Beveridge committee, writes that it is opinion. He says:
 Manchester, N. H.. July IS. 1904.
 Hon. B. s. Rodey, Albuquerque, N. M-Dear Sir: l was very much inter- ested in your letter and have carefully noted it's contents. The prevailing sentiment among Republican mem- bers, as l understand it. was in favor of joint statehood for New Mexico and Arizona. and my belief is that no bill would pass the Senate that gave sep arate statehood to these two territor- .ies ft., ,isf
 'I can see how difficult it may be to satisfy your Republican friends that the wisest course for those who want statehoop is to accept present conditions and to unite in the support of joint statehood, but I trust you will be able to harmonize differences and secure to us Republican victory in New Mexico next November.
 With best wishes for your personal success and with kindest regards, am very sincerely yours.

Hon. Robert W. Bonynge. Republi- can member of Congress from Cobra do. also states that it is joint state hood or no statehood, and voted for the bill because he saw any other kind was impossible.
 Denver Colo. Aug. 1. 19O4.-Hon. B. s. Rodey, Albuquerque. N. M.-My Dear Mr. Rodey: Your letter of July 18th was duly received. Personally I prefer separate statehood for New Mexico and Arizona. and should have been very glad to have seen such a measure pass. I became convinced. however, that the only statehood pos ~ible for New Mexico and Arizona was joint statehood. and became satisfied also that such a measure would pass not only the house but also the senate. therefore voted for the joint state hood bill. believing that was the only measure on the subject which would pass. Every one familiar with Iegis- lation matters knows that a large part of all legislation is the result of com promise. Even the constitution of the United States, as Is well known, was only adopted through compromises affected between conflicting interests. The views of the senators on the ques- tion of statehood for the territories are well understood, and it is known that regardless of which political par ty may be successfly in the coming campaign. the only bill which can pass the senate Is a joint statehood bill. With kind regards, believe me, very

 Miss Lavilla Bonine, Curator Natural History Society, 4oS Lewawee Street, West, Lansing, Mich, writes: cI suf- fered with chronic dyspepsia for nearly seven years, and this caused me to grow very thin and pale, at the same time my blood became poor and was so nervous and unstrung that I was unfit to attend to my daily duties. Heart was also affected and huttered at the least excite ment. I spent lot of money doctor ing and still found no relief, until took Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It certainly is wonderful medicine. It toned up my stomach and began to have splendid appetite; had no trouble with my digestion, and began to pick up and get strong; soon new rich blood flowed in my veins, and once more felt the beauty and joy of life. Ihave now eu- joyed perfect health for year, thanks to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery

Good looks and physical strength are derived from food. If woman has in- sufficient food she loses strength If she has no food she dies. Food is converted into nutrition in the stomach. It de- bends on the strength of the stomach to what extent food eaten is digested and assimilated. People can die of starva- ton who have abundant food to eat, when the stomach and its associate organs of digestion and nutrition do not perform their duty. Thus the stomach is really the vital organ of the body. If the stomach is cweak the body will be weak also, because it is upon the stoui- ach the body relies for its strength. And as the body considered as whole is made up of its several members and organs, so the weakness of the body as a consequence of ~weak" stomach will be distributed among the organs which compose the body. If the body is weak because it is ill-nourished that physical weakness will be found in back and knees, in hands and feet equally. So also will the weakness be equally dis tributed among the organs. heart, liver, kidneys. etc., being proportionately weak according to the amount of the re- duction of their daily ration of rutri- ton.
 If then no one Is stronger than her stomach and physical strengtN .- created in the stomach and distributed from it, the first question that a weak woman should ask is, rWhat Is wrong with my stomachl" If there are weak lungs, the condition also points to cweak" stomach. All physicians know that the cure of consumption is but a question of nutrition. If you can put flesh and fat on the body the lungs will take care of themselves. The one thing which baffles the physician in the cure of lung and other diseases is rweakn stomach. If the stomach was strong he'd feel sure of cure. In fact, then, any condition of physical weakness at once suggests weak stomach. When the stomach is made strong, the whole body regains strength and every organ of the body, heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc.. shares in this newly gained strength.
 It is because Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery cures diseases of the organs of digestion and nutrition that it gives strength to the whole body. When the weak stomach is made strong by rGolden Medical Discover" then food is perfectly digested and assimilated, the nutrition derived from food IS distributed to the several organs of the body, and the rweak" heart which was weak be- cause it was not well fed becomes strong again. So with the weakness of the other organs of the body, it is cured when the stomach is cured.
 One great secret of youth and beauty for the young woman or the mother is the proper understanding of her wom- woman, young or old, should know he,- self and her physical make up. A good way to arrive at this knowledge is to get a good doctor book, such for instance, as vThe Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser" by R. V. Pierce, NJ. D., which can be procured by sending to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., 2I cents in one cent stamps for paper-bound volume, or 3I stamps for cloth-bound copy.

 Bloomington. H., July 30, 1904.- Hon. B. s. Rodey, Albuquerque, N. M. Dear Sir and Friend: As a member of the committee on territories, I took an active interest in the statehood bill, and feel that know something of the sentiment of congress on the question of joint or separate statehood for New Mexico or Arizona. That sentiment is strong and firm against two states. in my judgment congress will never consent to any proposition other than the union of these two territories into one state if admitted. You are aware that some very strong men in the house were opposed to admission on any terms. but waived their convic- tions because of the fact that the bill provides for one instead of two states. It is a matter of population and the fu- lure possibilities of population. It is useless to point to other states small in population. It has become appar- ent that the admission of some of the states was a mistake. The admission of Nevada was unfair to all the other states. To give to those few people all the power Of sovereign state in national government in unreasonable and illogical. Congress will not re- peat these mistakes. It will regard them as precedents to be summed rather than followed. It is my honest conviction that it is joint statehood for New Mexico and Arizona, or no statehood. With my best wishes for your success. am yours very truly,

As futile are the attempts so often made to initiate the glow of health on the human skin by the use of paints and cosmetics The color of the complexion is due to a pigment on the inside of the skin. and its glow and bloom are due to the pure red blood which fills its vessels. Any attempts to initiate this color by applications on the out side simply give a dull dead surface, and the continued use of drugs causes a thickening and hardening of the outer layer which may become permanent, causing the complexion to assume that muddy" look which is so disfguring.

Hon. Sereno E. Payne, Republican floor leader of the House of Represen- tatives, tells New Mexicans bluntly that there is no chance for any sort of statehood except joint statehood. The following is his letter:
 Auburn, N. Y., Aug. 1, 1904.-Hon. B. S. Rodey, Albuquerque. N M.-My Dear NJ. Rodey: There is no chance for statehood for the four remaining territories except through the bill passed by the House at the last ses- sion admitting New Mexico and Ari- zona as one state. and Oklahoma and Indian Territory as another. believe this bill will pass the Senate at the coming session of congress. To insist upon separate statehood for each of these territories. it seems to me win delay the admission of any ot them for number of years. hope all the friends of the territories will unite in favor of the preSent bill.

 "Ponca. Neb., Aug. l. 1s04.-Hon- B. s. Rodey. Albuqurkue, N M My Dear MT. Rodey: Your esteemed favor of the 23th ult. is received and contents noted with pleasure. While you were mighty persistent in behalf of your constituents, I do not wish to nsinuate that you were offensively so- It is generally believed, however, that you have an exaggerated idea of the importance of the territory which you represent. which is not, and never will be, entertained by the vast ma iority of your colleagues. Candor is often times best, and it compels me to say. that the success. which you achieved in congress, was not because the members shared your exalted ideas concerning New Mexico, but by reason of your personality and persis- tency. I trust you realize the thruth f this statement, and that you also realize what sort of proposition you are up against. The action of the eau GUS ought to have demonstrated to You. the absolute impossibility of se- turing separate statehood for New Mexico or Arizona. It was plain that pint statehood was all that most of the members would stand for, and ] know of my own certain knowledge, hat many members would not stand for joint statehood. were it not for heir feelings of friendship for you. Personally. I would cheerfully do ev- erything possible to aid you. and as- sume that you know this statement to be true from my past conduct. Some of the members may have spoken more fransly on the subject to me | than they did to you. I assure you that in my opinion, based upon what actually know concerning the atti- tude of congress OF this proposition, that it is useless for you to make any l further efforts towards seeking sep arats statehood. You have many friends, but not enough to accomplish his heTculean task. You will have the satisfaction of having worked faith fully and well for your constituents. and having left them in their present status, without having harmed them any. and having failed to secure sep araie statehood, you can console your self with the thought that it is not. left to any man to perform miracles in this day and generation.
