their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia Il. Pinkham's

than by any other medicine, because Il
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical

Enormous Number Of shoe Lace Eyes
Annually Called For.

Some of the apparently most tri-
vial things in this world are the most
necessary things and fortunes are
made in manufacturing Them" said
Ralph l.. Jenkins.
Take the lace eyes Of shoes, for
instance. The average person never
gives them thought, but they are in
dispensable to our footwear, and there
are factories that devote themselves
exclusively to making them. Did you
ever stop to think how many of those
little things are used every year?
"On the basis of the population of
the United States being $4,000. 900,
this country uses more than 5000. 900
OF lace eyes and hooks year. Every
man, woman and child will wear out
on an average two pairs OF shoes in
twelve months. The majority Of peo-
pie have two feet and there are TWEEN

Nose Poked Into Other Businesses.
The man with good olfactory Or
gan can earn big pay outside the
dairy business. The whisky testers
rely upon the sense of smell more
than upon that of taste to Judge goods
and some whisky smellers draw large
salaries. These men both smell and
taste in judging the goods. They pour
small amount of the liquor into a
glass. whirl the glass sharply and
sniff the vapor. tH
Alcoholic cordials, especially such
as creme de .menthe, chartreuse and
absinthe. are tested almost entirely by
the sense OF smell, and big buyers
would rather have the Judgment of a
smeller than of the best chemist upon
the quality of the goods.

RAILROADS 70 MOULD OPINION
Heads of the Lines Organize to Defend
"Their Vested Rights"

CHICAGO, May 5.-Alarmed at the
wave Of public opinion sweeping over
the country in favor Of governmental
rate control, railroad presidents are
organizing.
In addition railroad officials every
where are expected to seize every
means to SOW the gospel Of non-inter-
ference by the government with the
rate-making power. Steps are to be
taken to show shippers that their in
terests lie with the railroad manage
ments, rather than with commission
clothed with the power to say what is
a fair rate and compel it's adoption.
One eastern railroad presidents says
1.-THE railroads are in a life death
struggle, and, Of course, we are going
to do everything in our power individ-
ually and collectively to defend our
selves and our rights"
A second said: 1--WE have delayed
too long. We should have had an Or
ganization long ago to disseminate our
vieWs!"
The eastern presidents took the init
iative some time ago by establishing
a bureau under the management of j.
H. Maddy, who is also press agent for
the Erie Mr. Maddy has just COM
pleted a transcontinental trip from
New York to Chicago, the twin cities,
all the Pacific coast cities and back to
Chicago by the way of New Orleans.
The purpose was to visit the newspa-
pers and ask them to use matter set
ting forth the railroad side.
Following this lead the western pres
idents have asked Slason Thompson
to employ experts and begin separate
educational campaign in the entire
western territory. Expense will not
be spared.

MILLS ARE MAKING FEW PUR-
cHAsEs AND EXPORT 6UsI-
NESS is DULL
The Trend Of Crop Reports Is Still Of
Favorable Character-Ground
Is in Fine Shape.

The dormant position of the wheat
market has continued the only local
feature Of note, says the West Coast
Trade. With the subsistence Of export
demands for flour, the mills are not
making purchases of consequence, and
there is little or no spot business in
any other direction. California is ex-
pected to be in the market for a little
wheat later on, the quantity depend
ing to a large extent upon the crop
developments there, and the immedi-
ate future of the flour demands, but
not much is to be expected in the way
of trading until the Inauguration of
the new season. While prices nave not
responded to the eastern fluctuations
to any extent, some influence is natur-
ally exerated from the squeezing of the
water out of the speculative market,
and quotations are given cent lower,
at 91k cent for bluestem and san
cent for club and red.
The trend Of crop reports is still of
favorable character. Further rains
have fallen and the ground is still in
good conditions and the plant making
fine progress. Spring wheat is looking
excellent, with the stand very thick
on the ground, while fall grain that
came through the winter all right is
making a splendid showing. With two
more goods rains, such as fell on the
18th of April, the Pacific Northwest
would harvest bumper crop in wheat,
and while it is never safe to predict
the outcome until the pivotal months
of May and June are past, the usual
experience is that moisture comes just
when it will do the most good.

LONGEVITY CLUB ORGANIZED.
Members Would Attain Long Life by
Mental Process.

CHICAGO, May Sin it's career Chil
cago has boosted of many distinctions
but it has remained for a group of
women to bring about the newest dis
tinction-that, of having the oily club
of it's kind in the world. 1t is the Ma
tional Longevity club. Mrs. c. ".
Morgan and Mrs. c. H. Besely are the
moving spirits.
This club proposes to inject a new
virus of ideas into Chicago's veins. It's
first meeting was held in the Masonic
temple, and Mrs. Morgan, the presi-
dent, made some interesting remarks.
She said that if anyone would think
the right kind of thoughts and get
youth in her mind she would get young
in the face and secure a good parcel of
longevity in the bargain.
Mrs. Morgan said those busy little
molecules Of which the body is COM
posed, were changing our bodies and
giving us a new one every year.
The mistake people made, she said,
was not taking advantage of this
change, and changing their minds with
new thoughts, which meant new life.
New ideas and conceptions, she main
tanned, would make us look younger.
The purpose of the club is to define
the spiritual body, and conform to the
laws of health through a mental pro-
cess, thus gaining longevity. 1t will
endeavor to organize similar clubs all
over the country.

years as a constant reminder of his
offense. There f1oated about Olympia
a story that Fairchild was paid fee
of $1,000 for the successful fight ne
waged against the closed season fish
bill. The close political and personal
friendship that existed between Fair
child and the governor would have
enabled the latter to ascertain the
truth Of the matter, and the severe
punishment that Mr.. Fairchild Is sub
jected to is possibly the result of the
investigation.

Che Ii the One Woman the World
Cannot Do without.
The home woman is the indfspensa-
BILE woman. 1t has been wisely said
that we could do without the women
who have made careers for themselves
In all other directions, but without the
home woman we should have to shut
absolute, necessary element, the wom-
an the world cannot do without.
1t is therefore pity that the home
woman allows herself so often to fail
Of her full development and reward.
She is apt to be so unselfish and so con-
scientious that she let's the four walls
Of home narrow about her. The house
hold woman, as she Is called, does not
get enough exercise every day, nor
does she breathe enough Of the outside
air Of thought and action to refresh her
spirit. The simplest remedy is that Of
at least one outside interest. The wom-
an who takes up one hobby, one chart
ty, one line Of work, beyond her house
hold cares and follows 1t steadily will
find that it brings freshness and power
with 1t. The study Of some special
art, together with the collection Of
old china, reading up q special subject,
making garden-any one Of these II
pursued thoroughly will bring her In
touch with others and open vast vistas
Of interest unendingly. And the wom-
an with a hobby grows old so slowly
that she often never grows old at all,
but keeps to the last that freshness Of
interest which Is the mark Of youth
