MT. LandiS Would Curb WhoIe-
 sale Printing
COST S6,O81 1895 LAST YEAR
The Government at Present Has Over 9539 Tons of Documents In Storage, Most of Which Are Said
 To Be Obsolete.

Washington. March 24.--Two resolutions designed to correct some of the most glaring abuses and inequalities" in the present system of public printing and binding were introduced today Repre- sentative Landis of Indiant were accompanied by a prelmin r'a1rt of the printing investigation coa,.ut,ee, ex- plalning the necessity for immediate re- forms.
 One resolution provides that public doe uments and reports printed for congress may be issued in numerous editions, in- stead of one edition as is the case at present. and authorizes the joint commit tee on printing to establish rules and regulations from time to time for the guidance of the public printer in the ls- suance of documents.
 This resolution the report explains Is necessary to cure the extravagant print ing of documents which are never dis tributed. At present the government has in storage more than 953S tons of docu- ments most of which are said by the to this amount. hundreds of tons have been sold as junk.
 Enormous Quantities Stored.
 The capitol basement and all other available space in public buildings are filled with these, and in addition the government is renting warehouses for the storage of documents al a cost of S13.600 a year
 The second resolution introduced by MT Landls provides a complete change in the allotment of the expenditures for printing and binding with a view to making heads of departments and chiefs of bureaus responsible for the amounts expended wtn their authorization. In the last fiscal year the appropriation for printing and binding for congress and the executive departments was s6.0s1 ,S95 Of this sum s2,7i5.75o was allotted to the departments and s. .s45 to congress.
 Charged to Congress.
 Under the present system all reports to congress by the executive departments and bureaus are printed as congressional documents and charged to the allotment of printing and binding for congress Lack of restraint upon the department officials is sa.~ ,y the report to be re- sponsIple of much of the extravaganc
 To cure this MT. Landis resolution provides that the congressional alot- ment for printing and binding shall only be charged with it's pro rata share of the expense of department publications ba sed on the number of copies actually furnished to congress for distribution.
 The report suggests that the public printer be placed in the same relation to
 nd ba H .4ttt, ts bot mercial printer is to his customers. The report advocates putting a large sum at the disposal of the public printer and re- auiring him to apply this money to the specific purposes for which it was ap- propriated.

German Surgeon Describes Success
full Experiments.

Stuttgart-Prof. Care, of Bresiau,
gave TO the congress Of natural in
vestigation and medicine, recently in
session here, the result of his expert
ments in transplanting blood vessels
and organs from one body to another.
This subject attracted much attention
at the meeting of the British Medical
association, held in Toronto, last Au-
gust, when DR.. A. Carroll, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, read paper CIV
ing his experiments in the same field.
Prof. Care described the case OF
four-year-old boy, suffering from cret-
inism, who had portions of his moth

Fond du Lac. Wis.-Habitual drunk
ards in Fond du Lac are hereafter to
be photographed, and their photo
graphs will be posted in every saloon
in the city. A resolution to this effect
has just been passed by the common
council.
The resolution was introduced by
one of the saloon members of the
council. The reason for the action. he
says, is that a man whom the council
might declare a habitual drunkard,
might be known to only two or three
saloon-keepers, and after being post
ed might go to any saloon where he
was not known, and obtain drinks.
The police would then arrest the inno-
cent saloon-keeper. If every notice
to saloon-keepers, forbidding them to
sell liquor to a certain person. con-
tanned a picture of that person. the
dealer could post it in a conspicuous
place and he would then know in
stantly If that man applied for a
drink.
The task of securing pictures OF
drunkards and sending the notices to
the saloons is placed upon the police.
No photographs have yet been taken
under the new act.

House furnishing Is one of the
most difficult of arts, especially to the

it will seem less destructive.
Don't place lamp near the lace cur

Don't place marble busts or bronze

A KENTUCKY WOMAN
How She Gained Fifteen Pounds in
Weight and Became Well by Taking
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Women at forty, or Whereabouts, have
their future in their own hands. There
will be change for the better or worse,
for the better if the system Is purified by
such a tonic as DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. d. G. Wedding, of Hartford, KY,
writes as follows concerning the dlfh-
culties which afflicted her:
81 was seriously i'll and was confined
to my bed for six or eight months in all,
during two years. had chills, fever,
rheumatism. My stomach seemed al
ways too full, my kidneys did not act
freely, my liver was inactive, my heart
beat was very weak and l had dizziness
or swimming i'll my head and nervous
troubles.
al was under the treatment of several
different physicians but they all failed
TO do me any good. After suffering for
two wears l learned from an Arkansas
friend about the merits of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and l decided that l would
try them. The very first box l took
made me feel better and when L had
taken four boxes more was entirely well,
weighed fifteen pounds more than when
I began, resumed my household duties,
and have since continued in the best OF
health. l have recommended DIR. Will
1iams' Pink Pills to many people on ac-
count of what they did for me, and feel
that cannot praise them too strongly. "
DIR. Williams Pink Pills restored Mrs.
Wedding to health because they actually
make new blood and when the blood is
in full vigor every function of the body
is restored, because the blood carries to
every organ, every muscle, every nerve,
the necessary nourishment. Any woman
