AConfedera,e ON Lincoln.

army. and spent four years doing my.
utmost to defeat all that Abraham
Lincoln was trying to accomplish. He
succeeded and / have no regrets on
that account He was an infinitely
greater man than George Washington
ever was or could be. Washington
had no difficulty in determining who
were his friends and who were not.
His enemies were principally on the
water, on the other side of 1t, or Off
GERS and soldiers sent here to enforce
the mandates Of tyrant. His frieu1s
were his neighbors, who, in addition TO
their struggles for existence in a new
country, were oppressed by taxation
without representation. The line WAS
clearly drawn from the beginning.
With Lincoln it was different His
enemies were in every department Of
the government. They filled the civil
Offices. they commanded his skeleton
of an army. they trod the decks of his
ships, such as they were. Where they
could with impunity be open. they
were bold and Outspoken. Where it
was policy they were willy, complaisant
and cautious. 1t required two years,
or half Of his first term, to learn who
were friends and who were enemies.
but he was equal to the emergency.
And through 1t all little child could

Ene,ish Tongue in Lead.

The United States are by far the
largest Of the civilized nations except
Russia, which has 13O,OOO,OOO inhabi-

100000; Austria Hungary. 100000;

Italy, 32,OOO.OOO, and Spain, 100000.
China has 35O.OOO,OOO, but she does not
count in a calculation of this sort
Owing to the rapid growth of the
United States the English language Is
now spoken by more persons than use
any other civilized tongue. Charles
V said he spoke German to his horse,
French to men, italian to his women
friends and Spanish to God. In his
days, three and a half centuries ago,
Spain was a land on which the sun
never set. England was only small
spot on the map and the English IAN

Wha. BECOMES of the Bibl.,.

The announcement Of Dr.. James
Morrow. secretary Of the Pennsylvania
Bible Society, that his organization
alone distributed 100000 Bibles last
year, while 100000 were sold by the
trade, again calls attention to the i'm
mense circulation of the book. Where
all the Bible issued go to is a wonder
even among the agencies that are con-
cerned in the work. Distributions are
supposed to cover, as far as possible.
places and persons not yet reached,
but it would appear that there are no
longer any such places and persons
left. Even supposing there were Bibles
in the knapsacks of some or even all
of the slaughtered thousands on the
field or buried with their clothes on at
Port Arthur and Mukden, that would
be but drop in the ocean of produc-
ton. The proportion Of Bibles to be
found on secondhand book stalls is not
greater than of other books, nor are
they probably stored away more than
other books are. Persons who have
investigated this question says 1t is

DENTISTRY IN The NAVY.
Uncle Sam Has Six Dentists to Do the
Necessary Work.

Comparatively little is known of the
Importance that attaches to dentistry
in the United States navy and few
| persons realize how important the
teeth Of an applicant are as governing
| admission to Uncle Sans sea service,
says the New York World. There
probably are more aspirants for the
navy rejected for having bad teeth
than for any other cause.
Until three years ago there were no
| dentists attached to the navy Now
there are six In the service and these
are stationed at the principal navy
yards throughout the country. The
most important Of these dental sta
tions Is at the Brooklyn navy yard,
where the office is in charge of J. l..
Mccarthy, D. D. S. There Is another
at Boston, one at Newport, r. l.; one
at Norfolk, Va; one at Mare Island,
CAL; one at Goat Island, Cal, and still
another at the navy yard at Cavite.
The dentists are under the surgeon
general of the United States navy and
are supposed to look after the teeth of
all the men in the navy from the high
est officers down to the apprentice.
Teeth are extracted free of charge, as
we'll as treated and filed with ANAL
gam and cement filings. DIR. Nc
Carthy Is a regular salaried official Of
the yard. The only work charged for
is the gold filings, gold crowns and
bridge work, which the dentist fur
nishes himself.
To receive the free treatment all Il
man in the navy has to do is to report
at sick call and receive a slip from
the surgeon il charge, giving permits
sion to visit a dentist. The number
Of men treated daily is getting beyond
the ability Of the post dentists. An
effort is being made by the surgeon
general and the secretary of the navy
to increase the force to thirty dentists,
or as near one to each thousand men
in the service as possible.
Every time a warship arrives in port
Dr. Mccarthy has busy time of it
and since he was appointed to the local
yard he has attended 300 men, who
were given alloy filings. A great num-
ber of other patients have received
treatment Of teeth and had teeth ex-
tracted. As each man is treated chart
Of his mouth is taken and placed on
record. These charts show exactly
which tooth was filled, which was
treated, and the records are of great
value to the navy department, as they
serve for Identification.
DIR. Mccarthy is graduate of the
University of Lexington, Ky. and also
Of the University Of Knoxville, Tenn,
and took n post graduate course in
college at Cincinnati, Ohio. He is an
athlete, and was captain of the foot
ball team at Mare Island navy yard
bfore he was transferred to the Brook
lyn yard.

Compound Rests Upon the Fact that 1t
Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored 10
health by Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
In Mrs. Pinkham's office, and prove this
statement to be fact and not a mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished its wide
spread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for quarter Of
century?
Simply and surely because Of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world so
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is a astimul1nt-not because it is
a palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-

Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures, and physicians
who have recognized the virtue in
Lydia q. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where il is due. If physicians
dared to be frank and open, hundreds
of them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia Z. Pink

experience that it will effect a cure.
