Worth of Medicine to Women.

Until few years ago Mrs Cora b.
Miller lived I'm manner similar TO

women of the average small town and

Several years ago Mrs. Miller learned
of mild and simple preparation that

piles After curing herself and many
OF her friends she was besieged by so
many women needing the treatment
that she decided to furnish it TO those
who might call for H. She started
with only a few dollars capital, and
the remedy, possessing true and won-
derful merit, producing marvellous
cures when doctors and other remedies
failed, the demand grew 80 rapidly
she was several times compelled 10 seek
larger quarters. She now occupies
one OF the city's largest office build
ings, which she owns, and almost one
hundred clerks and stenographers are
required to assist In this great business.

en- which will command confidence
and respect Mr., Michael also sends
the following quotation from Cali
cutta trade Journal;
The consul general for the United
states of America Is very anxious TO
have an American commercial nu-
scum established in Calcutta, where
samples OF all kinds of goods suitable
for India could be displayed. accom-
panied by catalogues and prices, so
that Indian buyers could go and be
put into direct touch with the houses
who supply the articles they want.
The consuls of other countries may
follow his example We In India do
rot take half the advantage of the
means now easily within our reach OF
extending our foreign commerce.
Floating exhibitions are now the or
der OF the day Germany has been
using this means, with great advant-
age to her commerce. for some time
past a steamer fitted up with all
kinds of sample goods Is sent cruising
about among foreign ports, with ex-
perts on board able to give the for
eigners all the information they want.
Last year the Japanese sent n lot
or samples of their goods to Buenos
AyreS for exhibition I'm the museum
there. with the result that a CONNER
cial house In the Argentine capital
promptly sent an order for over 5000
worth Of japanese wares through the
kaitsu Sha OF Yokohama. Another
large order was given for glassware.
These are the first business transact
ions between Japan and the Argen-
tine republic. Calcutta is now in very
close touch with Argentina. We dis
patch two steamers every month TO
that South American customer with
1000 tons OF gunnies Why can not
we use these steamers as floating pu-
scums Tor othcr indian goods which
would readily sell I'm Buenos Ayres?
samples OF tea have already been sent.
but, like Japan, we have lots of other
things that would sell readily II they
were only displayed to the buyers
there.
The truth Is there Is plenty of money
In Buenos Ayrcs and II is getting TO be
quite full or rich people who want
10 buy Injuries for the adornment OF
their persons and their houses. Es-
pecially do they want handmade ar
ticles In silver and gold of Indian
work, all kinds OF curlos, and carved
furniture. and all the other para
phernalia which are attractive TO the
eyes OF the newly rich. Now. | am
sure the captains OF our regular
steamers to Argentina would be glad to
further the establishment OF such a
trade between India and the Arren-
tine republic. and the FIRST thing 10 do
Is to send samples OF the kiud OF
things have mentioned. Why should
we allow Japan to beat India In this
game when We have more opportunl-
ties OF regular intercourse than she
has with the republic?

TILLMAN TO THE FRONT.

1t was an anamolOus political con
dition in the United States senate that
brought about the selection of Senator
Tillman to report the Hepburn rate
bill sent up from the house. 1t
would have been an almost unprece-
dented thing to have selected even a
Democrat that sustained the very
best personal relations with the PreSi-
dent. The Republicans are in the
majority in the senate and it was but
natural to expect that they would Sc
lect one of their own number to man
age n Of the most important meas
ureS that has been before the country
for years on the floor of the senate
and their failure to do this can be
construed in no other light than a de-
sire to put the president lin a hole"
But it is our opinion that he will come
out with a real live rail
road rate law in his hands. Those
Republicansin the senate opposed to
the measure mistOOk their man in Sen
ator Tillman. No man in the senate
is better equipped by nature and by
force Of habit to handle 4 bill Of
this kind and assurances car be given
now that if there is no railroad rate
bill it will be no fault of Senator Till
man.

A few years ago Chicago built a
sewage canal which turned all the
sewage Of that great city into the
Mississippi river. The Mississippi
river is the chief water supply of st.
Louis and of course it was thought
that the sewage from the Windy City
contaminated the water and hence
St. Louis sued out an injunction to
prevent Chicago from dumping its
sewage on them. The courts recent
ly decided the suit in favor Of Chica-
go. One of the pleas set up was
that the pure water of Lake Michigan
which flowed into the canal carried
several hundred thousand cubic feet
of pure water into the riverand there
by St. Louis was benefited rather
than injured. However, we would
prefer the water without the Chicago
sewage in it..

PUBLISH THEIR NAMES.

While much is being said about G.
0. d. whiskey shipments and various
methods are being suggested to cur
tail the business and minimize the
effects of the traffic carried on in viO-
lati0n of the spirit as well as the let.
ter Of the laws OF the state, it occurs
to Us that a law requiring the month
ly publication by the express COM
panieS under oath Of the Dames of all
parties to whom G. O. d. whiskey was
delivered, and the amount of the de-
livery would go along way towards
attaining the desired end. The aver
age individual is averse to permitting
the public to know that he is a pur-
chaser OF the commodity and to some
extent such a person would be reach
ed. Then again the law would put the
express companies on notice that the
scrutinizing eye Of a vigilant public
would observe monthly their transac.
tiOns and thus they would thereby have
daily incentive to see that whiskcy
was delivered to no one other than
bOnifide purchasers. And the COM
munity being thus apprised Of the
names OF the purchasers. could the
better locate any misuse Of the whiS-
key and would constantly be on
guard for the one who would make
himself notorious.

The allotment allowed the various counties
for the yer 1904 is 4l6 pupils.
By a study of the above figures it
will be seen that the increase in the
support fund-that fund from which
the current expenses of the school are
paid-from 1898 to 1906 is $50 per
cent aid the inc. per cent Of total
expenditures is $50 per cent, while
the per cent in the pupils for the five
gears past is only sixty per cent. The
expenditures have increased 400 per
cent more than the pupils. We have
heard Of no satisfactory explanation
being offered for this.

able to the progress and development
of Mississippi, but it is not the only
thing. The primary design Of the
promoters Of the institution was to

Of the pupils that 60 out from there
become farmers? 1t is indeed a very
small me-.
But admitting that to take care Of
the 617 pupils there, the school should
have all the money asked for, we will
ask why the school does not conform
its enrolment to the legal allotment?
And what applies to the A. and NJ.
will also apply to the 1. L. and C.
We fear that those in charge Of these
schools are looking too much after
their own glory and preferment rather
than the best interests Of the state.
