quate and ii is very desirable that
some plan looking to an extension Of
working room for the patent office
shall be adopted without delay, since

before any new building could be built
to contain this office. Our necessities
are growing, while there seems to be
as yet no plan for our relief in this
regard. The matter is of the utmost
concern to all friends of the patent
system, and nothing but ,action in the
direction of larger accommodation will
save the work of this office from diff
culties plainly apparent and not far
ahead in point of time. This subject is
of such transcendent Importance to
this bureau that l respectfully urge
your earnest attention to it.

PATENT OFFICE
ANNUAL REPORT
Commissioner Shows Great
Increase in Work Done
and Receipts of Money
MOST SURPLUS SINCE 1897
Present Space Is Utterly
Inadequate More Room
and Larger Force Needed

A statement Of the business of the
Patent Office for the year ended De-
cember 81, 1903, of more than unusual
interest was transmitted to Congress
recently by the Commissioner of Pat
ents through the Secretary of the In
terror. The law requires the Commits
sioner Of Patents to present a report
Of the business of his Office for each
calendar year. The present Commis-
sioner, Frederick /. Allen, has departed
from the usual custom in each of his
reports so far, and the document sent
out by him to-day has number of in
teresting features. He states, in part:
THE business transacted by the Pat
ent Office during the calendar year 1903
has again exceeded all previous rec
ords, as appears in the foregoing ta-
bles. The preceding statement show
ing the number of patents and certifi-
Gates Of registration issued from year
to year shows that uniform growth
which indicates that the business Of
this Office is an accurate index of gen.
eraI conditions of prosperity in the in
dustrial arts OF this country, and the
comparison hereinbefore made between
the chief financial and work elements
of this Office for the years 1899 and 1903
permits the rate of this increase to be
accurately stated. From this statement
il appears that in four years the aver
age increase Of business, as shown by
the receipts, expenditures, applications
filed, issues and copies Of patents and
records furnished, is % per cent, and
this work has been accomplished with
an increase of 8.s per cent in the num-
Der Of employees. The work has been

CHICAGO. June 21-There was quite

Alaska six votes instead of four. as at
present He was supported in his OBJ
lection by the delegates from Della

Rhode Island. Nixon urged that the
continued increase in votes given to
Territories was simply throwing into
their hands the control Of the conven-

The Alaska member Of the commit
tee, w. D. Grant, speaking for the
amendment. said that his Territory.

FROM THE ASHES
Baltimore FamiIy's Experience
Points a Moral Is Residents
Of Missouri Valley

The visitor to Baltimore to-
day scarcely realizes that less
than a year ago the city was
almost destroyed by a memoir :
able fire. A similar comparison
might be made by George w.
Nally, one of the leading citi-
zens of Baltimore, as to the
change in his own looks.
A short time ago, Mr.. Nally,
writing from his home address,
2213 Barclay ST., says 81 have
been troubled for yeats with
catarrh and had resorted to all
remedies that could be thought
of. My wife was also afflicted
with this terrible disease, but
all the treatments we used
were an absolute failure until
we tried Hyomei. 1t worked
like a charm and has made a
complete cure in both of our
cases.
Elliott & Harvey, the local
agents for Hyomei, have so
much faith in the treatment
that they give their personal
guarantee to refund the money
in case it does not benefit. A
complete outfit costs one dollar,
the extra bottles are but fifty
cents. Ask to see the strong
guarantee under which Hyomei
is sold.

Ashburnham, Ont. April is,
l905.--I think it is only right
that | should tell you what a
wonderful effect Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has produced.
The day before Easter was so
distressed with a cold and
cough that | did not think to
be able to take any duties the
next day, as my voice was al
most choked by the cough. The
same day | received an order
from you for a bottle of your
Cough Remedy. | at once pro-
cured a sample bottle and took
about three doses of the medi-
cine. To my great relief the
cough and cold had completely
disappeared and | was able to
preach three times on Easter
Day. I know that this rapid
and effective cure was due to
your Cough Remedy. l make
this testimonial without solicit
alton, being thankful to have
found such a God-sent remedy.
Respectfully yours,
