for arithmetic and shares the opinion
of the bard who laid down the axiom.
Multiplication is vexation." Many
times has the future king of England
been put in the corner" owing to this;
and recently, when he saw the hated
preparation of states and arithmetic
books being made to start the days les
sons. he arose from the table with
sigh for the impending inevitable catas-
trophe, and said quietly to his tutor:
Il don't think I'll do 'rithmetic today;
think I'll go into the corner again in
stead. if yoI don't mind :" and marched
away like soldier under arrest leaving
very bewildered tutor in the rear.

Crew Suffers Much in Hot, Cramped

To endure such life for hours ut II

stand exposed in all climates is
life aboard torpedo craft for officers
and men alike.

make you irritable; you can't sleep.
YOU are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen.
erative organs in woman is so close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessnesS and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability spirits easily affected, so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps; pain in the abdominal
region and between the shoulders;
loss of voice; gervous dyspepsia; a
tendency to cry at the least provoca-
tion-eIl these point to nervous pros
tration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering SO surely as Lydia
E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. NJ. E. Shotwell, of 1913 Flatbush
Avenue, BROOKLYN, N. Y, writes:

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and it has worked wonders for me.
II am well woman, my nervousness is all
gone and my friends say look ten years

VIII not the volumes of letters from

hams Vegetable Compound convince
all women of its virtues ? Surely you
cannot wish to remain sick, weak
and discouraged, exhausted each day,
when you can be as easily cured as

The Man with a Vacant Lot Is Z
Stumbling Block in the Path
of Progress.

In a growing town in Texas a local
paper has the following to say which
will fit most any growing town:
One of the stumbling blocks in the
path of progress is the man with the
vacant lot-the man who for revenue
or from laziness, keeps his lot vacant,
unemployed, unkempt, waiting for the
hard lift of the adjoining property
holders to pull up the value of his
possessions. The extreme specimen OF
this sort is the man who refuses
either to clean up or sell out; who at
the solicitation of his more public.
spirited neighbors will neither come
in nor get out; who fights public i'm.
provements that involve taxes and
takes the lift of adjoining improve.
ments as something rightfully his.
This man will sell out only when he
has the last cent of profit to be had
from his holdings. He is to the thrifty
community what the caterpillar is to
the currant bush. He can be profita.
bly, spared from any community. But
there is no known legal way of rid
ding the land Of such a pest The lazy
vacant lotter is bad enough. The per
sistent professional is a pestilence.

MR.. HOOKER MAKES REPLY.
Is Friendly to the Primary and op
posed to Proxies.


What is the matter with the resolu-
ton, and why did it create such a
commotion?
Ocala, Fla, June %, 1906.
To the Editor of the Metropolis:
In the account of the proceedings
of the state committee, appearing in
your issue of the 22d inst, an injus-
tice has been done me. 1t is there
stated that my resolution was a
scheme" to kill the primary system,
and the tone of your report through
out indicates that the word scheme
is used in an offensive sense and in
tended to imply an attempt at secre-
cy and unfair means on my part.
This implication is not borne out
by the facts, which can be obtained
from any of the gentlemen present
who opposed the resolution, and the
statement that the resolution was in.
tended to kiln the primary system is
refuted by the resolution itself.
From your account it might be in
ferred that l had packed the commit
tee with proxies, and only desisted
from my 'nefarious plan when these
proxies forsook me. AS a matter Of
fact, am rather opposed to proxies
and in fourteen years of participa
ton in politics do not think have
held but two proxies, namely; once
the proxy of that peerless old demo
crat, the lamented General Robert
Robert Bullock, while he was a mem
Der of the lsat state committee: and
my second offense in this respect was
upon the date named in your indict
ment, when held that of Hon. w. X
zewadski of this county; the more
worthy, in each instance. being una
BILE to attend the meeting of the com
mittee.

cine or cookery, or a demonstration
in geometry, is not a lesson in reli-
gion. do not deny that congrega-
ton may, if they please, agree with
them in medicine, also in law, or pol
tics Then, lectures in these, from the
b.l;.it, become not only a matter of
right, but of duty also. But this must
be with the consent of every individ-
ual; because the association, being
voluntary, the mere majority has no
right to apply the contributions of
the minority to purposes inspected
in he agreement of the congregation.
81 agree, too, that on all other oc-
casions, the preacher has the right,
equally with every other citizen, to
express his sentiments, in speaking or
writing, on the subject of medicine,
law, politics, etc., his leisure time be-
ing his own, and his congregation not
obliged to listen to his conversation
or to read his writings; and no one
would have regretted more than my
self, valuable discourses which have
led to the expression of an opinion
as TO the true limits of the right.
81 feel my portion of Indebtedness
to the reverend author for the dis
tinguished learning, the logic, and the
eioquence with which he has proved
that religion, as well as reason. con-
firms the soundness of those princi-
pies on which our government has
been founded and its rights asserted.
These are my views on this ques-
ton. They are in opposition to those
| of the highly respected and able
preacher, and are, therefore, the more
doubtingly offered. Difference of opin-
ion leads to inquiry, and inquiry to
truth; and that, am sure, is the ulti-
mate and sincere object of us both.
We both value too much the freedom
of opinion sanctioned by our consti-
tuition, not to cherish its exercise even
when in opposition to ourselves.
/ "Unaccustomed TO reserve or mys-
terry in the expressions of my opin-
ions, l have opened myself frankly on
question suggested by your letter. .
