Mr.. Roosevelt Desires a Re-

Code of United States

OYSTER BAY, l. l., Aug. 2.-Attor-
ney General Moody. who came here
yesterday to visit President Roosevelt
left to-day for Washington to give per-
sonal attention to the inquiries being
made into the scandals in the Military
Department. Mr.. Moody also discussed
with the President a variety OF other
topics. The declination OF w. W. Cot
ton to accept the appointment OF Unit
ed States District Judge for the dis
trict of Oregon was taken up, but no
agreement was reached as to q further
appointment. Judge Cotton did not
qualify after his appointment, simply
indicating to the President that on ac-
count of his private business arrange
ments, he found himself unable 10 ac-
cept the tender Of office.
Mr.. Moody said that he and the
President considered at yesterdays 8
general discussion OF the laws the
bearings of the United States to spe-
cIal cases, and the amendments OF
criminal laws Of the United States.
They agreed, he said. that Congress
ought to make certain amendments to
the existing statutes. as the laws under
which the courts are now operattn g
render it often difficult to reach man
who might be guilty OF wrong doing.
AS an illustration of this Mr.. Moody
said 1T was far more difficult to take a
man from one United States courts
Jurisdiction into another United States
courts Jurisdiction than 1t is for the
State of Maine to get a criminal want
ed from the State of California.
Among the matters which the Prest-
dent and Attorney General Moody con-
sidered was the prosecution OF the
meat packers under the Indictment In
Chicago. The prosecution will be
pressed vigorously by the Government

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-TWO collisions,
one of which snapped propeller

Cured in mix-up between the Min
neapolis, another liner, a tramp ship
and fishing smack Saturday, July %,
in the English Channel Captain
Thomas F. Gates of the Minneapolis
says his steamer was wedged so tight
ly in the trap that his only chance was
which of the other ships to run down.
He chose the fishing smack as the least
dangerous and struck this boat q CLAN
cling blow, which carried away parts of
her rigging, but did no other serious
damage.
Two days later, Captain Gates be-
lieves, the Minneapolis ran over the
remains of a submerged wreck. Early
Saturday morning, while the passen-
gers were asleep, the ship shivered as
from shock to her hull and one blade
of her propeller snapped off. Pas
sengers were awakened and ran on
deck in alarm and the steamer came to
a stop. After short delay, however. she
proceeded on her way.

STRENGTH
QUICKER THAN DOCTORS TONES
SAYS TYPHOID PATIENT.

YOUNG LADY LEFT BY FEVER IN VERY
WEAK STATE USES DR. WILLIAMS
PINK PILLS WITH GRATIFYING RE
SUITS.
After a fever, such as typhoid or
scarlet. has run it's full course there
remains the recovery of strength.
Physicians who have treated the dis
ease itself in skillful manner, are Of
ten inclined to let convaleScence take
care of itself as of relatively small i'm
portance. Invalids know that to be
weak is to be miserable and they are
always anxious to find a tonic that
acts speedily.
The tonic that will most rapidly in
crease the red corpuScles in the blood
is the one chat will most quickly re-
store color to the pale cheeks, strength
to the weak muscles, and elasticity to
the sluggish nerves. So far nothing
has ever been produced superior to DR.
Williams Pink Pills for this purpose
The characteristic instance of the
prOmptnesS and thorOughneSS of their
action.
Miss Midendorf had been i'll with
typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She
had good physician who carried her
safely through the critical stages of
that disease. When he left the case,
nothing remained to be done except to
build up her strength, which was very
feeble, and he gave her some prescrip-
tions for that purpose. Here, how
ever, she met with disappointment.
II took the doctors tOnics," she
says, "for two months after l had re,
covered from the fever, but they did
not do me the good l looked for. My
strength came back so slowly that I
scarcely seemed to be making any
progress at all. Just then l read in a
book thrown in our yard some striking
testimonials showing what wonderful
blood-builders and strength-givers DI
Williams Pink Pills are. I got a box
of them soon after this and after
had taken only about half of them ]
could see very great Improvement In
my condition. They helped me so
rapidly that when I had used up two
boxes, felt that I did not need any
more medicine. 1 have remained
strong ever since"
Miss E. B. Midendorf lives at No

liams' Pink Pills are the best remedy
to use in all cases of weakness, from
whatever cause the system may be rur
Overwork they not only minister freSf
strength but overcome all nervous
symptoms. They are specific for an
8mia or bloodlessness; they rapidly
make pure, rich blood.
They are particularly helpful tt
girls who are on the verge of woman
hood. Used at this time they insure
perfect development. They also meet
all the requirements of the periot
known as the change Of life. They
quickly correct spring languor. They
strengthen weak digestion and rous,
up every sluggish organ to healthfu
many virtues. All druggists sci
them.
