EGYPTIAN IMPORTS
To the United States Now Reach
Over Ten Millions.

Washington.-Special Agent Charles
NJ. Pepper, who was sent to Egypt to
report upon the prospects for increased
trade with that country, says the i'm
ports from Egypt have reached nearly
Sic, 1000, 900, while in return direct ship
ments of goods from the United States
rarely exceed Sl,0O0,000, and in some
years have fallen below $780, 600, The
total foreign commerce of Egypt in
1895 was little more than 100000, ,000
Mr.. Pepper says that it will in less
than five years amount to $3.50, 900,
one-half of which will be imported
goods. For the fiscal year 1906 this
country has taken from Egypt IS, ,39l,-
62l worth of goods and has sold to that
country 81 ,l03, 12S worth.
American locomotives at one time
had foothold in Egypt, and American
bridge builders were in high favor, but
recent shipments by English firms has
led the government to purchase its
supplies largely from Great Britain
and Belgium.

Miss eMN0noId

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement OF the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing down pains, fiatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unles
needed life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never. failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia Z. Pinkhams Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald of Woodbridge,
n. j., writes:

AUSTRIANS TURNED DOWN.
After Unique Experience, They Can
Not Get Into United States.

Galveston, Tex.-Two Austrians were
deported today on the North German
Lloyd steamer Bradenburg, who had
most unusual experiences in getting
into this country. They hoboed their
way from their native land over 20, 900
miles to get in through West Texas,
where they were detected and arrested
after enjoying but two months of Amer
lean life, and much of that time in
prison.
From Europe they went around South
America and up through Mexico, cross
ed into Texas and finally reached San
Antonio, where they were apprehended
by immigration authorities and taken
into custody for stealing into the United
States without complying with immi-
grafton laws. Their names are Peter
Podakoriek and Blanse KayacjoVies.

Mems Garments Shaped to the Figure
by Age Catch Artists Eye.

To the eye Of the artist the gar
ments of the modern man are only
tolerable when age has adapted them
somewhat to the lines of the figure;
to the average artist a new suit of
clothes is an abomination.
1T is not only that new clothes are
more ugly than old, said knight OF

ton; ito my mind no one can be prop
erly easy or graceful in them.

How Reinhart'S Pharmacy Sell Hy0mei,
the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh.

Remnants Pharmacy have an I'M
usual offer to make to our readers, one
that will be of the greatest value to
many.
For some years Remnants have
been watching the results from the
use of Hyomei, treatment for ca
tarrh that cures by breathing medica-
ted air, absolutely without any stom-
ach dosing. The results have been
so universally successful that they
feel justified in making a public offer
to treat the worst case of catarrh IN
Shepherdstown with the unders tand.
ing that if Hyomei does not cure, the
treatment will cost absolutely nothing
People who have spent large sums
with catarrh specialists, deriving but
little benefit, or the many who have
swallowed stomach remedies in the
vain hope Of curing catarrh, have ex-
perienced almost immediate relief
from the use OF Hyomei, while the
continued treatment for short time,
has resulted in complete aud lasting
cure.
The regular Hyomei outfit costs
only one dollar, and consists of neat
pocket inhaler that can be carried in
the purse or vest-pocket, medicine
dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. II
this is not enough for cure. extra
bottles Of Hyomei can be obtained
for so cents.
Reinhart's Pharmacy positively
guarantee cure, if Hyomei is used
IN accordance with directions, or they
will refund the money.
