KEEP YOUR MIND ON THE DRAFT.
Then You Won't Catch Cold, Says q
Coetor-Just a Matter Of Nerves.

The trolley cold, which is the result
of exercise followed by a ride in a
street car, is just now easier to catch
than at any other time. Then there
is also the subway cold, produced by
the same causes and just as violent in
its uncomfortable effects.
Nobody need suffer from either sort
of cold if the testimony of a physician
is OF any value.
Nobody need catch cold, even in a
draft" he told patient the other day
so long as he continues conscious OF
the fact that there is a draft blowing
on him. Just keep that in mind and
there is no danger.
But forget it for a moment and
there is gong to be trouble. Taking
cold is largely matter of nerves, and
any man who follows my advice, sits
tight and thinks of the draft all the
time that it is blowing on him will
escape taking cold

WASHINGTON.

On his address to the Governors Of the
States. June S. 1852
There are four things which | hum
bly, conceive are essential to the we'll
being, | may even venture to say, TO
the existence of the United States, as
an independent power.
First, an indissoluble union of the
states under one federal head.
Secondly, a sacred regard to public
justice.
Thirdly, the adoption of a proper
peace establishment, and.
Fourthly, the prevalence Of that no
cifc and friendly disposition ar OnS
the people OF the United States which
will induce them to forget their To-
cal prejudices and policies; to make
requisite TO the general prosperity;
and, in some instances, 10 sacrifice
their individual advantages TO the in
terest of the community.
These are the pillars on which the
glorious fabric of our independently
and national character must be sup
ported. Liberty is the basis, and who
ever would dare to sap the founGa-
ton, or overturn the structure, unC er
whatever specious preteXt he may at
tempt it, will merit the bitterest exc
cratiOns, and the severeSt punishment
which can be inflicted by his injUre
country.

Profits Of the Packers.

There has been a great deal Of dis.
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent of the volume of
business transacted. There is no
doubt, however, that the report is cor.
s rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust" began.
throw considerable light on this ques.
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on
. smaller margin Of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin of profit of 81 flour and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year, was nearly seven per cent on
the volume of business. The gross
margin Of fifty.one wholesale slaugh-
tering and meat packing establish.
ments in Illinois was only about one
third as large, or a little more than
two per cent on the volume of bust
ness.
The millers have not been accused
OF being in trust" and combina-
lions would seem impossible in a BUSH
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the flour trade, but it APP
pears that the gross profits Of the mill
ers are larger than the gre profits
tbf the packers. 1t may turn out that
the agitation regarding the packing
industry will show the same result as

more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases OF
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been go
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such expert
cnce, especially when it is absolutely
free.
. Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
fdence of women, and every testimo-
NAL letter published is done SO with
the written consent or request OF the
writer, in order that other sick women
NAV be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel. of 4l2 North saith

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

much for me-"
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia Z. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form OF
female ills.
No other medicine In all the world
