Lee E. Hamilton, candidate for the

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Our Regular Correspondent Writes From the

ABOUT the mludle OF. April, 10 CONSIDER
the subject of railway rate legislation
which was dismissed without action al
the close of the regular session. Sew
-eral members of this committee are
among those who will sail in July
with Secretary Taft's party for an in.

ippines, so that it is not likely that
they will consume many weeks in the
discussion of railroad rates.

The triennial convention of the
Mothers Congress held in Washing
ton has come to close and by Sun
day all of these national mothers will
have returned to their homes again
and become for the most part just
plain, ordinary mothers again. A
number of them have decided to re-
main over in Washington until in
April, when the Daughters of the
American Revolution will hold their
annual congress, for many Of the
Mothers are also Daughters and the
capital will thus not be deprived en-
tirely of the spiritual influence and
protection of these women organized
as societies for the prevention and
promotion of everything.

THE PRESIDENTS FEDERAL POLICY.
No Changes to be- Made Where Officials arc
Rendering Satisfactory Service.

From Brookfeld Argas.
According to a. dispatch sent out
from Washington last week, a gener-
al policy as to federal appointments
has been determined upon by the
president and his cabiaet. The uni
form policy will be to retain incum-
bents in office during satisfactory SER
vice. This policy wild hold, 1t was
stated further, irrespective of the
length of service of the incumbent.
The policy is to apply generally to
all departments of the government.
This comes as glad tidings to large
number of Missouri postmasters, in
cluding Brothers Jones, of Brookfeld;
Caywood, of Laclede;: Ormiston, of
Linneus; each of whom it must be ad-
mitted are giving splendid satisfaction
to the patrons of their respective Off
ces. While Brookfeld has had sever
al mighty good and worthy postmas-
ters IN the past, both republicans and
democrats, never in the past has the
interior of the Brookfeld Office been
kept quite as neat and in as apple pie
order as it is kept by Postmaster
Jones and his assistants. While The
Argus does not agree with Mr.. Jones
in his political convictions, we agree
with the public; regardless ofpolitical
afiliation, that he is a most painstak-
ing servant of your Unele Sam, and
the patrons of the Office are to be con-
graduated on having, as in the past,
man equal to all demands, notwith-
standing the duties Of the Office have
largely increased in the past year.

tell that when your stomach and

trouble is ahead, unless you take
the proper medicine for your dis
ease, as Mrs. John A. Young Of

UNCOMMON WISDOM.
sistersville People Should Profit
by Ne1gnbor's Experience.

It's a wise man who profits by
the experience of his friends and
neighbors. Here is a chance to
do it, and every man, woman or
child in Sistersville who knows
the misery Of bad back, the ner-
vousness and restlessness caused
by kidney complaint or the an
noyance of urinary disorders, will
show uncommon wisdom to profit
by this citizens advice.
Frank Hiff, who lives on the
South Side, near the bridge,
Parkersburg, says: envy kidneys
were always weak, but during a
year the weakness developed into
something more serious, causing
a good deal Of pain in the small
of my back and side. Sharp
twinges caught me often, espec.
tally when STOPPING or lifting, and
l was so bad sometimes that it
hurt me to straighten. When /
took cold it affected my kidneys
and back more than any other
part, and I was compelled to do
something for it. I went to a
drug store for Doan's Kidney
Pills. They cured me.'

Women and Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man
that is the order of woman's pref
erences. Jewels form a magnetic
mighty power to the average wo-
man. Zen that greatest of all
jewels, health, is often ruined in
the strenuous effort to save the
money to purchase them. If a
woman will risk her health to get
a coveted gem, then let her for
tify herself against the insiduous
consequences of coughs, colds
and bronchial affections by regu-
lar use of DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup. It will promptly arrest
consumption in it's early stages
and heal the affected lungs and
bronchial tubes and drive the
dread disease from the system. It
is not cure-all, but it is certain
cure for coughs, colds and all
bronchial troubles. You can get
