eun,ison Tunnel Bids Rejected.

Washington.-The secretary OF the
interior today rejected all bids for the
construction of the Gunnison tunnel

gre irrigation project near Montrose,
Colorado, and that work will be COM
pleted as 1t is now progressing, under
government supervision.
Under the recent advertisement only
three bids were submitted, the lowest

Chicago bid s1,573,000 and A. j..
Praisch of San Francisco S2,123,OOO.
The reclamation service considers all
the bids excessive and reported to the
secretary that its own engineers, EN-
ploying laborers by the day. can build
the tunnel for 100000 less than the.
lowest bid For this reason the bids
were rejected and authorization given
for completion of the tunnel by day Ia

The first attempt TO build this tunnel
by contract resulted in failure, Taylof

award. failing to meet the terms OF the
contract. Secretary Hitchcock be-
lieves there was a conspiracy among
bidders under the first advertisement,
which resulted in this firm bidding be-
low the actual cost of the work. He is
therefore doubly satisfied that the
work shall be built under government

Swedish PeeuIiarities.

A barber will shave you for G cents
but you will have to wash your own
face and comb your own hair, says n
Stockholm letter in the Minneapolis
Journal.
Everybody trusts you and you are
expected to trust everybody.
You never have a dispute with the
cabman over the fare. A taxameter
measures the distance you travel and
shows what you owe at any minute.
You get bill every day at the ho-
tel. This permits you to correct any
mistakes at once.
Women shine your shoes, shave you,
cut your hair and even give you a
bath-unless you rebel.
Policemen salute the street car con-
ductors and are saluted by them.
A servant who brings you something
says $50 good" You say Tack
(hanks).
You take off your hat when you en-
ter a shop and return the shopmans s
low bow.
Although drinking is common, one
seldom sees drunken man.
Tips are everywhere given, but they
are small. Ten ore (2h cents) is the
ordinary tip to a cabman or porter.
A lady always waits for gentleman
to speak, instead of the reverse as in
America.
The comedians crack jokes on the
rich Swedish-American who has come
home to spend his money.
Grand opera lasts from September

AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
overzeaious Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines. p,

"Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by interested
parties. Every now and then some
Jealous reformer comes TO the front
with the demand for law TO require
every package OF proprietary medi-
cine 10 be labeled with a printed
statement of the formula showing
lust how 1t is manufactured. The mil
lions of people who use proprietary
medicines seem to be satisfied; but
the man with n mania for regulating
the affairs of other people or who has
some personal interest TO serve is
the one who agitates the proposition.
To a person who has never taken
time to consider 1t. such proposition
may seem reasonable enough: yet it
is in fact nothing more nor less than
scheme to compel the manufactur-
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy Of every
commercial pirate who might choose
to flood the market with limitations of
their goods.
Under such conditions the incen-
tive for the original manufacturer to
advertise his goods would be practi-
cally destroyed, for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainly 10
the benefit of the pirates and imita-
tors. Without advertising. the public
would receive little information In
regard to the medicine. and all future
sales would be greatly impaired II
not wholly destroyed. 1t is mainly by
judicious advertising that the knowI:
edge of proprietary medicines is
brought to the public. Nothing is
more certain than that millions of peo-
Pile have found relief at compare
lively small expense by the use of
some remedy first called to their
notice through newspaper advertising
Why, then, should the manufacturer
of meritorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law TO practically
destroy his business as condition of
being allowed to carry 1t on? Yet
that is exactly what these formula
bills mean.-Exchange.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Mr.. Porter Thought He Should Go Mad

Cured Him.

at seems like q miracle that DR..
Williams Pink Pills should have cured
my neuralgia, said Mr.. Porter. "They
nre certainly q marvellous medicine and
l am always glad to recommend them.
For two years, he continued, "I had
suffered almost uncomfortable pains in my
head. They would start over my eyes
and shoot upward most frequently. but
they often spread over my face, and at
times every part of my head and face
would be full of agony. Sometimes the
pains were so intense that l actually
feared they would drive me mad
My eyes ached constantly and there
was alwaysa burning sensation over my
forehead, but the other pains varied,
sometimes they We're acute, and again
they were duh and lingering. l could
not sleep. My temper was irritable and
| got no pleasure out of life.
IL tried remedy after remedy, but
finding 10 help i'll any of them, be.
came despairing man. Even when
began to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills 1
had no great hope of a cure.
THAT was in December of 1908. To
my surprise, n change in my condition
took place right away. The pains grew
less intense and the acute attacks We're
further apart, as kept OH using Dir. Will
liams' Pink Pills. The improvement be-
gan with the first box, and when l had
used six boxes stopped. My cure was
complete and has lasted ever since"
Mr.. Charles Fl. Porter lives at Ray
mond, N H. He is one of many grateful
people who have found that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills will cure diseases of the nerves
that have stubbornly resisted every other
remedy tried. Not only neuralgia, but
