When everything becomes a burden,
and you cannot walk a few blocks with
out excessive fatigue, and you break
out into perspiration easily, and your
face Pushes, and you grow excited and
shaky at the least provocation, and
you cannot bear to be crossed in any
thing, you are in danger; your nerves
have given out; you need building up

Reversible Figures.

There is a Western senator OF rathes

when everything goes wrong, enjoys
scolding the clerks employed by his
committee.
On one occasion during the last ses.

had desired one of the clerks to pre-
pare tabulated statement of certain
trade statistics of the United States.
When the statement was laid before
the testy senator, he glanced at it
with an air that BODIED trouble. Sud.

humble clerk; "the fact is. it is a

North Dakota Solves the AdulteratIor
Problem.

Problem.
North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, "How shall
We protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make it impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior, and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and linseed Oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
LET the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, If any one wishes
to buy q mixture OF rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints. and
so-caled white leads" no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But if they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little sometimes no real
white lead.
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied 10 food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
or, the question would be solved It
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want.

HERBERT TO SPEAK
WILL DELIVER MEMO-
 RIAL DAY ADDRESS.
The Confederate Graves in the National Cemetery at Arlington Will Be Decorated Today With Ap-
 Proprlate Exercises.

Washington, June 2.-(Special )-Un- usually impressive ceremonies will be held at Arlington tomorrow when the Confederate graves in that beautiful national cemetery will be decorated by the sons and daughters of the South.
 The indications are there will be an unusually large attendance If weather be fair and the indications are for clear skies.
 The principal address will be deliv- cred by Hon. Hilary A. Herbert of Ala bama, who continues to make his home here and whose path is good. Colonel Herbert was formerly President of the Confederate Veterans, who will have charge of the exercises. An address will also he delivered by Hon, John Sharpe Williams of Mississippi on the subject of erecting a monument in the Confederate section of Arlington. The grave of Gen. Joe Wheeler is to be spe- c.ally decorated.
 There will be sacred songs and the 18th Cavalry band will furnish music appropriate to the occasion Most of the Southern members of Congress are expected to attend, and the ladies of the various auxiliary organizations have made arrangements to strsw the graves of the dead with flowers. In an interview here today MT. Mil ton Humes, the well known lawyer of Huntsville, said The action of Sena- tors Morgan and Pettus in voting against the rate bill has had no effect whatever on their political fortunes Senator Morgan having been a general in the Confederate Army, a leader in the effort to wrest the State from negro domination in reconstruction times and for thirty years in the United States Senate is truly the grand old man of Alabama. He votes as he thinks right no matter what his people may think, believing that ne is not thelr delegate but their representative. I remember that years ago the Legislature instruct ed him to vote for certain measure, but he refused, and little was heard of 1t. At the present time the people of the State are in favor of the rate bill. but there is no criticism of either Senator Morgan or Senator Pettus. They will remain where they are until death oVertakes them -"
