e< PEI: ded upon road work of any kind
bur rather that under the present bill
il ~e Geviate from those general ap-
preparations which the Legislature has
admitted We're Territorial in every
sense, and make any selections from
those amounts which were apportion-
ed To each island, we must then, IN
fortress. undertake a proportionate
amount of work in each of the other
is ands
Therefore, instead of passing on the
advisa bility and necessity of those APP
preparations, it seems wiser to limit
to $50, 600 and to carry out the amount
onlv of those appropriations that the
Legislature itself considered to be for
the L-refit of the whole Territory.
You may, therefore, proceed to Sc
cure the necessary data for the Pres
ident's approval. and make the neces-
cary arrangements to issue $3.50, 900 of
bonds. And 1 would suggest that the
Territory undertake to place this issue
at SO or better and at 1-2 per cen in
terest only, thus reducing the interest
1-2 per cent lower than that of any
bond which has ever been issued here.
If We fail to get better than SO and
these bonds are called in with short
period then it might be preferable to
issue per cents at premium. But
to my mind every advantage tends to-
wards the 1-2 per cent bonds.
I am already aware Of your full con-
in this policy, and shall leave
the announcement OF it largely TO you.
Very sincerely yours,

A German, whose wife was sick at a
hospital, called the first evening she
was there and inquired how she was
getting along. He was told that she
was improving. Next day he called
again, and was told she was still i'm
proving. This went on for some time,
each day the report being that his
wife was improving. Finally, one
night when he called he was told that
his wife was dead. Seeing the doctor,
he went up to him, and said, with Il
world of sarcasm in his voice: well,
doctor, vat did she die of-imbrove-

WINDMILL ELECTRICITY.
A Scheme to Have It on Western
Farms,

Like the trolley lines which run far
small hamlets into close communica-
ton with great cities; like the rural
free delivery of mail, with it's new
facilities for the enjoyment of post
office service for getting the news Of
the world, and for traffic of the kind
which used to be very inconvenient
for farmers, the windmill promises
much more than it has already given
the agricultural districts of the Unit
ed States, says the Cleveland Leader.
In this country and in Europe recent
experiments in the use of wind power
for generating electricity for lighting
houses and barns and operating farm
machinery are full of interest and sug-
gest great advances in the same di-
rection within the next few years In
parts of the West, where irrigation is
often needed to supplement the uncer-
tain and sometimes inadequate rain
fall, big windmills are used for pump
ing water from wells into irrigating
bitches, in the driest months, and the
same mills generate power enough for
electric motors to light buildings and
to cut feed and do other work of like
nature.
To get more power is only question
of more windmills. To insure an ade-
quate supply of electricity for lighting
purposes and for operating farm ma
chinery is a matter of storage batteries.
So far these experiments are not for
poor men to undertake. but the rich
are making tests which promise u1ti-
ma f0lx to tn Rf
wind-generated electric power to the
wants of American rural life one OF
the most important additions to the
pleasures and comforts of the farm.

When a physician tells woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, OF
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
1t, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of st. An
drew's Society, Hotel English, Indian
apolis, Ind. writes of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
:" cannot find words to express nv thanks
for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said I could
not get well unless I had an operation for
ovarian and female troubles. knew | could
not stand the strain of an operation and made
up my mind would be an invalid for life.

Hearing how Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
| Compound had saved other women from
serious operations decided to try it, and in
less than four months was entirely cured !:
and words fail to express my thankfulness'
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Loss OF strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that had ovarian trou.
bic and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this strongly objected
and decided as a last resort to try Lydia
K. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound.
" To my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and cam
not express my thanks for what it has done
for me-"
Ovarian and womb troubles are
steadily on the increase among women
and before submitting to an opera
ton every woman should try Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.
for advice.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms of female complaints,
all ovarian troubles, inflammation, ul-
ceration, falling and displacement of
the womb, leucorrh9a, irregularities,
indigestion and nervous prostration,
Any woman who could read the many
grateful letters on file in Mrs Pink
hams Office would be convinced of the
efficiency of her advice and Lydia e.
