PROSECUTING
CORPORATIONS
THE TAFT-ROOSEVELT CLAIM
EFFECTIVELY PCNCTURED
BS JUDGE PARKER.

In the national campaign two vears
ago Judge Parker took the position
that We have laws enough to sion
every corporate abuse: that all that
Is lacking is an administration dis
posed TO enforce the law" This cruel
puncture OF the Roosevelt-Taft infer
ential claim that the success of Fed
eral prosecutions of violations of Law,
oy corporations are due TO new stat
ntes is successfully made bv udpe
Parker. He conclusively shows that
there is no excuse. at this time for
the claim of Secretary Taft that his
--Parker's-assertion in 1904. that
'Nisting law is adequate To nut an
end In all trust and corporate abuses
was inaccurate For as Judge par
ser shows: Not one of the success

What troubles President Roose.

this was the cause of my sickness, at
that l was compelled to quit work and
and took his medicine faithfully but
grew worse. l gave up hope of getting
better and my neighbors thought ! was
surely going to die.
Il had smothering spells that it is
awful to recall. My heart f1uttered and
then seemed to cease beating. l could
not lie Oh my left side at all. My hands
and feet swelled and SO did my face.
After reading about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills in a newspaper / decided to try
them and they suited my case exactly.

AMERICAS GREAT ENGINES.
Range OF Power Given to the
English Locomotive.

English Locomotive.
The American locomotive engineer
deems it advisable to design his en-
CINE with a large margin of power, says
the Engineering Magazine. If an ex-
press engine is designed to take a
2OO-ton load at fifty miles an hour, and
If that load should happen to be in
creased to 800 tons. the locomotive is
still expected to be able to take it and
keep time, and usually does so. Such.
at any rate, is the experience of such
an impartial and level-headed observer
as Mr., w. M. Acworth. If an American
express be late at one point of its
journey, the engine is expected to make
up the lost time, even if the load be
larger than usual. And. again. this is
generally done. But if an English en-
CINE is given a single coach above its
prescribed load, the driver at once in
sists upon having a pilot" and COM
monty he gets one. Or should the
weather be bad, with strong wind or a
slippery rail, he demands an assisting
engine, and is accorded one, as a mat
ter of course. Obviously this applies
especially to the case of single-wheel-
ers, which are so largely used on some
English railways, because their range
of power is much more sharply limited
by adverse conditions than is the case
with coupled engines. But in either
case it seems in%disputable that a small
ep range of mower iS given RI an Emo
lish locomotive than to an American.

ORIENTAL PAPERS.
JAPAN AND CHINA BEAT ALL
THE WORLD.
That Is, in the Flneness of the Fiber
Handmade Paper of Rice and straw
Some Varieties Adulterated with
Starch. v

The results of the inquiries of the
commission of industrial experts
which was appointed by the German
government to visit and report upon
the markets of east Asia, show, ac-
cording to the Kansas City Journal,
the various markets present excellent
prospects for the paper trade and the
paper industry generally. The Ko-
rean handmade papers, thus far very
little known in foreign markets, are of
much interest. They are of yellowish
color, silk-like gloss and extraordinary
strength. In purity they are behind
the better grades of Chinese papers.
These papers are made in sheets about
29R by 81 inches. Oiled papers Of this
kind are used in place of window glass
and very impure but extremely strong
board is also made of the same raw
material, as well as plotting and wrap
ping papers. The Japanese handmade
papers are divided into two classes.
The so-called "hansi" (half paper) is
loaded with about 20 per cent of rice
starch; the "minogam" consists en-
tirely of fiber. The hansi papers are
the stronger and the coarser and are
made in smaller sizes (about 9A by IL
inches), while the mIrogami papers
are thinner and better and larger-l1
by l6 inches. A quire of paper is called
10" in Japanese, and has from 20 to
AZ sheets: a ream is called shine
and has from 480 to 2,400 sheets. The
prices of handmade paper have re-
Gently risen about Is per cent, because
the growers of bast demand and obtain
higher prices for their product. Print
ing paper is used in Japan not only for
printing purposes, but also for writing.
The most popular sizes of printing pa
per are % by q inches and 81 by AZ
inches, fiat. The consumption of pa
per has increased extraordinarily in
Japan, and, although the home pro-
duction is large, there is a good mar
ket for imported paper. Rice straw
is an important factor in the manu-
facture of Japanese machine-made pa
per; only when there is a poor rice
crop is wood fiber imported to any ap-
preciable extent. Among the most
curious things to be see in Japan are
the jackets and trousers of strong
handmade paper with which the ia
panese soldiers were supplied during
the war between Japan and China.
The seams and b%uttonholes were sewn
with cotton thread. Chinese hand
made papers are made mostly of rice
straw. and are colored or stained on
one side by hand; for instance, Grim
son for visiting cards (which are thin,
large octave sheets, pale red for bills,
yellow sprinkled with gold or green
for wrapping goods, orange for wedding
finery, etc. Large quantities are con-
sumed in the principal place of it's
manufacture for decorating various
places of worship, which are visited by
Chinese from all over the country, and
considerable quantities are also sent
to the adjoining provinces. There is
no doubt that cheap imported ma
chine-made printing papers, stained or
%unstained, could successfully compete
with these homemade and handmade
papers.

All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
v~ousness, i~rritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
