Very often a married woman or
young girl does not know who to turn
to for advice in circumstances where
she dislikes to talk with the family
physician about delicate matters. At
such times write to Or. r. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y, for free consulta-
tion and advice, and the same will be
held as sacredly confidential. II is
foolish to consult women friends or
persons without medical training.

From the Westinghouse

schedules were illustrated by rep
esentatives who called on Speaker
Cannon. 1t happened that one day
a prominent Massachusetts member
called to impress the speaker with the
easy manner in which the tariff might
be revised.
You see," declared the Massachu-
sets member, I'VE all make too much
over the difficulties in revising the
tariff. 1t would really be very SIM
pie. We would only have to put hides,
wool and coal on the free list and the
country would be practically satisfied.
We might do more. but that would
really be enough. There could be no
difficulty in coming to an agreement
Oh that-merely a matter of a few
weeks"
The speaker listened intently as
he always does listen to advice. But
trailing on the heels of the MASSAGE ll-
sets member came a representative
from Illinois who also wanted to re-
wise the tariff. He started in the same
as his predecessor. He thought there
was altogether too much fuss made

is having very little effect on them.
In fact the prOtectiOnistS do not even
care to discuss that phase of the ques-
ton. A revision of the tariff with the
declared purpose to simply lower the
schedules they say would have the
same effect on the country that they
claim would follow an attack on
the tariff principles by the free-trad.
ers. They claim that merchants would
not buy goods when lower tariff rates
might still further reduce the price
they would have to pay. That condl-
tons lasting six months they fear
would upset all business conditions.
They say it might nean panic.
But they are likely to have their
views very forcibly contested by the
tariff revsionists next winter. The re-
visionists and the men who believe IN
the principles of reciprocity are band
ing together to give battle in the halls
of Congress. The citadel is now dis

feature of the ominOuS flow of people
to the cities is the phenOmenal-aeVelop-
ment of manufactures. There may
come a time when manufactures will
30 overbalance agriculture that there
will not be enough basic wealth pro-
duCpd to afford a profitable market
for the factory-madp goods. When
the industrial situation shall become
so unbalanced. a commercial crash of
StupendOuS magnitude must enSue.
As Helpless Babes.
Then the city-trained men who
know not how to make bread out OF
the soil will clamOr for work, curse
the economic condition of the period,
dpnounce the state, threaten the re-
public with all sorts Of fantastic theO-
rieS and there will be acute friction
between the few rich and the multi
tude of poor. Gradually men will
drift back to the land and learn to
make their living with the pillow and
reaper and satisfactory equilibrium
between agriculture and manufactures
will once more be reached. Before
this result is attained, there will
be intense suffering. Families that
are in comfortable circumstances will
know the meaning of misery, and
families now .atfiuent will fall into
beggary. All this is not dream.
Men of clearest vision see it coming.

Day of Distress Near.

The richest man in America is posi-
tive, however, that the crash will come
about 1907-year after neXt-and 50
sure is he that the trouble is on its
way, that he is already weaving a
plan to provide work for those who
will be thrown out Of employment,
and thus ameliorate the panic. He is
certain that the number of men who
will need help will be about 1000, 600,
and when is added to those men the
number of dependents, the total is ap-
palling. Mr.. Rockefeller thinks this
vast army of unemployed should be
set to work by the government on in
ternal Improvements, the building of
new roads, Improvement of old ones,
dredging Of streams, irrigating land,
etc. He says;

for the employment of surplus labor
is practical and profitable one and

er Improvement irrigation, forest pres
ervatiOn and swamp draining as the !

and eventually 1t must be done, II the
United States is to progress. Waste
is national lOSs-waste by flood and
drought as we'll as waste by fire.
Every acre of land should be made to
pay. The government promotes re-
search and experimentation in agri- |
culture. with a view to increasing the
effectiveness Of tillage; there is no
reason why it should not give counte-
nance and support to reclamation OF
land and the enhancement Of the fer
tility of land already under culture.
1t is the land-the farm, which is the
pedestal of the republic.
There should be no effort to mini
miZe the worth of manufactures
processes that work up the raw prod
ucts Of the earth into serviceable
forms. The ores from which are OBJ
tanned the metals of commerce are as
much a product of the land as corn,
wheat and cOttOn-not as primarily
important, but quite as necessary to
man in his present highly organized
social state 1t is difficult to draw
the line between some Of the basic
manufactures and agriculture, for the
iron furnaces and steel mills build the
railroads and bridges which give
farmers shortcut to markets.
French Statesman Also Predicts
Panic.
But the point is, that where manu-
features develop out Of proportion to
the growth Of agriculture, the world
is being turned wrong side up. Mr..
Maine in declaring that the overpro-
duction of manufactures will lead to
an industrial crash, says; There is
room for everyone under the sun, but
on condition of sharing up the good
/ things of the earth, instead Of concen-
) trating upon one department of activ.

Vast Plan of Construction.

"There is enough labor today needed
on the public highways to employ all
the idle or surplus labor for a century.
The Improvement of the roads. the
dredging streams, and especially of
the Mississippi, where annually mill
ions of damage is done by the over
flow. the irrigation of arid lands. the
preservation Of forests and the drain
age of the swamps are the great pub
