THE posroFF1oE AppRopRIA rIoN.

THE POSTOFFICE APPROPRIATION.
1.-THE total of $1s2.4S5, 900 carried
by the postofice appropriation bill
which has just passed the senate
strikingly illustrates the industrial ex-
pansion of the country, for the volume
of postal patronage is agreed to be
one of the most accurate lndices to
general business conditions. The
amount required from the treasury to
maintain the postal service now
greatly exceeds the amount required
for the maintenance of the entire ma
tional government during the first half
century of its history.
Neither this bill nor any other legis-
lation of this session undertakes seri-
ously to solve any of the large prob
lens which have been steadily coming
into greater prominence in the, opera
tions OF the department. II has been
pointed out that no more will be ae-
complished by it than by similar bills
for long series OF years toward pre-
vention OF large annual deficit
There has been no disposition to COM
plain so far as the deficiency was due
TO the rural delivery service. which
was extraordinary on account OF the
Inauguration and rapid expansion of
that branch OF the department But
IL has long been known that abuses of
privileged mail like second class and
franked matter, and especially the ex-
cessive compensation for railroad
transportation of the mails, are at the
bottom of the greater part of the an
nual postal deficits.
The time is drawing near when
these items will have TO be thoroughly
dealt with by congress. The introduc-
ton of large improvements like a
postal savings system. in line with the
admirable facilities provided by the
most progressive governments, Is seri-

1t may be all right to adopt the khaki
oolored uniform for the army. The blue
blouse and gilt buttons are said to be
doomed and the blue flannel shirt is con-
demned as ''out of harmony with the khaki
color scheme" 1t may be all right but
there is many an old soldier for whom
nothing is really military but 1.-The blue or
the gray" Henceforth 1.-The boys in blue"
and 'the boys in gray are to be only ''his-
toric expressions" Yet there are still many
for whom they are realities still. The only
unchanging realities are those that live In
memory. No new law can abolish them.

many enemies for the firm stand he took
along many lines in the past and is today
one of the foremost and fearless and best

In this country While he il disliked by
some, yet he has many friends and It looks

nominating and electng him for the senate.

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; nervous dyspepsia; a
tendency to cry at the least provoca-
tion-all these point to nervous pros
tration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering SO surely as Lydia

VIII not the volumes of letters from
women made strong by Lydia E. Pink
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
other women.
