Andersonville, Belle Isle, Florence,

to many American citizens. If the
Penrose bill, having passed the SEN
ate and been recommended to the
house of representatives, is ratified by
that body, the loyal union men who
endured the Internal torture of the
rebel prisons will be given a small
recompense for their sufferings, as
well as the nations appreciation of
their valor. If the bill is passed every
prisoner of war held in the rebel pris-
ons will be awarded a retribution reg
ulated by the time spent there. Those
whose confinement extended over
three months will be given 81 a day.

men. Nothing will ever Danish its
horror from their minds. They re-
live it in their nightmare. They en-

WEIGHT of a Dinner.

1t has been seriously asserted by
many people that we are naturally
lighter after a meal, and they have
even gone the length of explaining
this by the amount of gas that is de.
veloped from the food. Average OBJ
servations, however, show that we lose
3 pounds and 6 ounces between night
and morning; that we gain 1 pound II
ounces by breakfast; that we again
lose about IA ounces before lunch /;
that lunch puts on an average of !
pound; that we again lose during the
afternoon an average of 10 ounces, but
that an ordinary dinner to healthy
persons adds pounds 2 ounces to
their weight.

has been overtaken and passed by do
nestle production, it is better and
wiser that domestic production be not
suspended. but that the surplus be
marketed outside the country in order
that employment and wage paying be
not curtailed.
This is not the free trade view, the
tariff reform view, or the Washburn
view. 1t is the view of Republicans
and protectionists. 1t is the view that
justifies and supports Republican and
protectionist opposition to tariff re-
vision, for if you take away the single
element of lower export prices you
take away all there is in support of
tariff reduction inside of the Repub-
lican party.
Mr. Washburn's article in the Out
look has not added to his reputation
a clear thinker. 1t only serves to
reveal him more distinctly as a man
whose normal narrowness is rendered
the narrower by an abnormal cold
blooded selfishness.

Some moment without date
Some CLEAN or flower. or leaf or beaded
Some tremble at the of memoried

The old loves gather round!
When that which lured once now lur-

CHILDREN AFFECTED.
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched into
life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mother S
milk. Mothers cannot be too careful
as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience of a
Kansas City mother is case in
Point:
Il was a great coffee drinker from
a child, and thought 1 could not eat a
meal without it. But found at last it
was doing me harm. For years l had
been troubled with dizziness, spots be-
fore my eyes and pain in my heart,
to which was added two years ago, a
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born months ago, and almost from
the beginning, it, too, suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking it
from me!
In my distress 1 consulted friend
of more experience than mine, and
she told m to quit coffee, that coffee
did not make good milk, have since
ascertained that it really dries up the
milk
$50, quit coffee, and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then I turned to Postum
Coffee with the happiest results. 1t
proved to be the very thing needed
1t not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself. but it increased the flow
of my milk My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum, quickly got
well of the dyspepsia with which he
had been troubled. / no longer suffer
from the dizziness, blind spells, pain
in my heart or sour stomach. Post
UNI has cured them.
Nov we all drink Postum from my
husband to my seven months old
baby 1t has proved to be the best
hot drink we have ever used. We
would not give up Postum for the best
coffee we ever drank. Name given

kentuckian's War. Mementos.

In September. 1862, w. B. Crabb
was in New Castle, a member of a
small band of Confederate soldiers.
There were also some Federal sol
diers in town, nearly all negroes, and
a little scrap took place. A negro
deliberately fired at Mr.. Crabb as he
sat on his horse a hundred yards
away.
The bullet struck a large metal
buckle on a pair of suspenders, OF
braces, worn by Mr.. Crabb, and buried
the buckle, along with itself, deep
il his breast above the heart. The
wounded man rode over to a spot near
where s. j. Douthitt now lives, where
the surgeon took hold of the suspend
e- above and below the buckle and
jerked both buckle and bullet out.
Mr.. Crabb put the bullet into a
leather girdle. or pouch, which he
wore about his waist next the skin
to carry some gold coin in, and thus
Fept the ball and the money until
the end of the war. There was $40 in
geld. He retains $50 of the money
and the battered missile of lead to
this day, as mementos of his war ex-
perience.-Henry County Local

Mr.. Anderson L ran against some
queer figures this trip. 1 contracted
with a representative of toy manu-
facturer of Sonneberg, Germany, for
a carload of dolls for next winters
trade. By having these dolls shipped
direct from Germany l get what is
called an import rate of 80 cents
per hundred from New York to Port
land, Ore. The regular" rate from
New York to Boise is $3.50, and the
rate to Portland, 500 miles longer
haul, is only So. 1 shall take advan-
tage of the import" rate of 80 cents
to Portland, then ship the car back
to Boise at a cost of $3.50 per hun
bred, and thereby save $1.6O per hun
dred under the $3.50 rate, regular %

What have the doll factories of New
York and vicinity to say to a rate of
so cents for carriage of German dolls
to Portland as against $3.50 if Mr. An
derson had bought from them? Port
land is nearly across the continent
Does the tariff on dolls need to be re-
duced or increased? Do freight rates
need fixing one way or both ways?

"I have recommended DIR. Williams

how well they deserve praise.
It was just about ten years ngo that
I first read about DIR. Williams Pink
Pills, and bought my first box. Twas at
that time all run down, weak, nervous
and without ambition. 1 had been doc
toring all summer for malaria and
stomach trouble. Everybody thought
was going into consumption, as my
mother had died of that disease.
Thanks to DIR. Williams Pink Pills,
I am now alive and hearty. I began to
improve soon as began to take them,
and when had taken three boxes was
well woman. Everyone wonders how
keep SO well and am able to care for my
home and six children without help.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills explain it.
'.My oldest girls health began to fail
when she was about fourteen. She was
nervous, complained of sharp pains in
her head, would get deathly sick and
have to leave the school room to get fresh
air to revive her. I gave some pills to her.
She took only few boxes, but they cured
her troubles, and caused her to develop
into perfect picture of health. Then my
husband took them for rheumatism and
found that they would cure that too. So
you see we have all got great good from
mend them to others"

Uhrichsville, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, and
is well known, as she has resided in the
same neighborhood for more than thir-
teen years. Her story shows that
medicine which makes the blood sound
and the nerves strong, overcomes vari-

Kansas Witnesses Help Colorado.

Denver, May 5.-Prof. l.. c. Carpen-
ter has returned from Garden City,
Kansas, where he attended sessions Of
the Kansas-C Colorado irrigation suit
Professor Carpenter states that the
testimony of Kansas own witnesses at
Garden City has been very valuable to
Colorado. There is considerable ILL
feeling among the Kansas attorneys
owing to the trend of the testimony
of some of their witnesses, and most of
the proceedings have been kept from
the public as much as possible.
d. S. Hogbin of Syracuse, Kansas,
a civil engineer, manager of one of the
largest bitches in Kansas, testified that
during the last ten years, he said. he
could only remember once when there
was not sufficient water for all neces-
sary purposes. During the spring and
summer seasons, for the last two years,
conditions have been better than ever
before. His ditch has not been oper-
<ating continuously, but he explained
that this was due to the fact that it had
been in the hands of receiver. the
English company owning 1t refusing to
spend money for repairs demanded by
water users.
B. f. Stocks, a resident of Garden
City since the early sos, who Las al
ways been active in Kansas irrigation
matters testified that he considered the
doctrine of riparian rights TO be as det-
rimental to irrigation interests in his
own state as in Colorado. He said wa
ter should be used for irrigation pur-
poses by all means, although he said
Colorado bitches with later priorities
than those of Kansas should not be al
lowed to step in ahead of the latter He
said he had no sympathy with the ri
parian rights contention and consid-
cred it fundamentally wrong.
