NECESSITIES OF LIFE
HAVE STEADILY GONE UP
Official Statistics to Prove What the
People Have So Long
Realized.

Washington, D. G., June 27.-Prices
Of fuel, clothing and practically all food
products are constantly increasing, ac-
eording to bulletin just issued by the
bureau Of labor covering the period from
1890 TO 1904. In the early nineties
prices We're very high, but in the last
four years they have been steadily in
creasing, until now they are relatively
higher than in 1892, just before the
memorable financial and commercial de-
preston.
The periods of lowest prices were
from 1924 to 1897 The lowest price Of
beef, was in April, 1896, when the best
choice was quoted at 1885 to 1925
per hundred. The highest price was
the latter part of August, 1902, when
the price touched $3.50 to SO per hum
'dred Corn was lowest in 1896 and high
est in 1892
In table Of comparison, IN which
the average price for the years 1890 to
1899 is taken as a base, 16 articles Of
farm production, including sheep, cattle,
hay, hogs, hides and grains, are enume-
rated. All except fiaxseed have increased
over the average price from 1890 to
1899. The increases for the prices in
1904 range from rs per cent on sheep
and 81 per cent on cattle to s2.6 on
corn, 35.S on oats, 3s.3 on wheat, and
the top increase Of 96.2 on New York
state hops. The average increase in
1904 in the wholesale price Of farm
products over the average for the years
1890 to 1899 is 26.2 per cent. OF 81
articles included under the head of food
it is shown that in 1904 the prices Of
all but IA were higher than the average
prices from 1890 to 1899.
Seventy articles under the head Of
cloth and clothing show that the aver
age price for 1904 was g.S per cent
higher than from 1890 to 1899. The
table on fuel and lighting places the av-
erage 1904 price at ga.6 per cent higher
than the 1890 to 1899 price.

AT such times he loved her, but no
sooner would she lose herself IN the

Nantucket Fishermen Find on Their
Rakes Better Far Than Clans.

Nantucket, Mass, June 27.-Nantucket
fishermen have struck an immense bed
Of quahaugs in the harbor which is not
only yielding shellfsh but is developing
into something Of a submarine wine eel
lar. For a week or more the fishermen
have been bringing up in their rakes
BOTTLES OF liquor, all in prime condition,
and the collection secured Sunday in
Guided champagne, sherry, port wine,
rum and several kinds of tonics.
How such quantity OF bottled goods
came on the bottom of the harbor is a
mystery, unless as the result of some
no-license crusade of years past, There
has been a steady and increasing de-
mand for rakes and poles, and the supply
on the island was exhausted several
days ago"

why DOCTORS FAIL
AND MRS. PINKHAM SUCCEEDS
Plain Reasons Are Here Given to Explain
Why lydia {. PInkham . Vegetable CON-
pound Cures When Doctors Are Powerless

Awomanis sick; some disease peculiar
20 her sex Is fast developing in her sys-
tenn. She goes to her family physician
and tells him story, but not the whole
story.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
abe wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifiss the doctor.
lis 1t any wonder, therefore, that the
doctors fall TO cure the. disease? Still
we cannot blame the woman, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some of the
symptoms of her suffering, even to her
family physician.
II was for this reason that years ago
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, de-
termined to step In and help her sex.
Having had considerable experience In
treating female ills with her Vegetable
Compound, she encouraged the women
of America 10 write to her for advice In
regard to their complaints, and being a
woman, it was easy for her ailing sis
tegs to pour into her ears every detail
Of their suffering
In this way abe was able to do for
them what the physicians were unable
TO do, simply because she had the
proper information to work upon, and
from the little group of women who
sought her advice years ago a great
army of her fellow-beings are to-day
constantly applying for advice and re-
lief, and the fact that many thou
sands of them have been cured By
following the advice of Mrs. Pinkham
during the last year Is indicative of the
grand results which are produced by
her unequaled experience and training.
No physician In the world has had
such training, or has such an amount
of information at hand to assist in the
treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local irritation to
the most complicated womb diseases,
This, therefore, is the reason why
Mrs. Pinkham. in her laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, is able to do more for the
ailing women of America than the
family physician. Any woman, there
fore, Is responsible for her own suffer-
ing who will not take the trouble to
write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
The testimonials which we are con-
stantly publishing from grateful wo-
men establish beyond a doubt the
power Of Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to conquer female diseases.

Four Men Lose Lives Under Walls of
Fallen Building.

New York, June 27.--The North end
of Manhattan Island was in the path of
heavy wind and rain storm yesterday
afternoon which entirely missed the
downtown portion Of the city. A big
tree was blown down at the corner Of
Amsterdam avenue and Manhattan street
and wrecked a lamppost in its fall.
Signs were torn from their hangings and
sent Gathering through the streets and
the residents Of Harlem were terror
stricken. There were forty men at work
on the apartment house in One Hundred
Thrty-eighth street when the rain storm
suddenly swept over Harlem. 1t fell
in sheets, literally deluging the streets.
The majority of the men ran for shell
ter, but four workmen were killed and
number of Others injured.

FAIRY TALES
ABOUT HAWAII

Secretary Atkinson has in the exec
utive mail a letter from a Philadel-
phia man, who says he saw a dispatch
in the Philadelphia Ledger stating that
the Hawaiian Government was offering
citizens forty acres of land each, to-
gether with money 10 build a cane
grinding mill. This correspondent was
ready to accept the offer. 1t will sur
prise him to be informed that if he
had money enough to build sugar
mill he would never need land to till,
or have to do days work the rest
of his life. Evidently some news
mongers are overworking the Hawaii
promotion idea
Another correspondent on the main
land says he is informed there are
mines in Hawaii and asks: What
kind of mines are they and are they
worked to any extent" So Dr. Rus
