How often do we hear women say: ''It
seems as though my back would break"
or Don't speak to me, I am all out of
sorts? These significant remarks prove
that the system requires attention.
Backache and :" the blues" are direct
symptoms of an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare itself. It
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some arrangement of the organs.
Nature requires assistance and at once,
and Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetable Com
pound instantly asserts its curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments of
women. 1t has been the standby of
Intelligent American women for twenty

Senate Passes Pure Food Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-After fit.
teen years OF more or less serious con.
sideration of the subject, the senate
today passed a pure food bill, by the
decisive vote of 63 to 4. The vote
was taken after a day devoted almost
exclusively to debate of a desultory
character on the measure. Several
efforts were made to amend the bill,
and the committee accepted a number
OF suggestions, but only those thus &C.
cepted were incorporated in the bill as
passed.
The bill makes it q misdemeanor to
manufacture Or sell ~adulterated or
mis'branded foods, drugs, medicines
or liquors ia the District of Columbia,
the territories and the insular posses.
sions of the United States, and pro.
hibits the shipment of such goods
from n state to another or to a for
eign country. 1t also prohibits the
receipt of such goods. Punishment
by fine OF $500 or by Imprisonment for
one year or both isprescribed. In the
case of corporations, officials in
charge are made responsible. The
trade and the departments of agricul-
culture and of commerce and labor are
required to agree upon regulations
for the collections and examinations
of articles covered by the bill. But
no provision is made for investiga.
tons except by the department OF agri.
culture. The Investigations by that
department are placed in the hands of
the chief OF the bureau of chemistry,
and it he finds that the law has been
violated the secretary of agriculture
Is required to report the facts to the
United States district attorney, who
in turn is required to institute pro.
ceedings in the federal courts. The
bill also defines foods, drugs, medi.
cines and liquors, and also defines the
standards for them. There is an ex.
emption for dealers who furnish guar
antees against adulteration and mis-
branding.

English Swimming Meet.

London, July 1.-THE first of the
English championship swimming meets
takes place here today. The number
of entries is unusually large and in
Cludes several prominent American
swimmers.
The hundred-yard contest will. be
held at Nottingham on July Is, and is
of particular interest to Americans,
because Daniels is accorded a first
class chance to win that event If he
can maintain the form he has shown
at the recent indoor championships.
Richard Covell, of Australia, will be
the most dangerous competitor in tine
100 yard event. Tyors and Derbyshtre,
the speedy Englishmen, will also ta Ike
part in the event.
The 22O-yard race will be held at the
Sunderland on September 10, and il is
believed probable that Daniels twin
compete. 1t is regarded as unli5eIy,
however, that he win take part in iany
of the long distance races.

Many of the Irishmen Did Not Want

Historical Interest Sought in This
Country by Committee.

London, July IA deputation is
proceeding to obtain objects of his
torical interest for the international
exhibition to be held at Dublin in
1907. Prof. Thomas H. Teegan, prin-
cipal of the Central training college at
Dublin, has already sailed for New
York and later Patrick Lally of Gal
way and Colonel McPackett of Dublin
will follow.
They will visit all Of the larger ci-
ties to secure relics in the possession
of families of Irish residents and also
to obtain for the special subsection
objects associated with the Napoleonic
era, held by Americans.
While the exhibition is being strong
ly supported opposition to it has been
aroused in some quarters.
Irish nationalists are particularly
opposed to it. John e. Redmond, the
leader of the Irish parliamentary par
ty in the house of commons, explain
ing that what Ireland wanted at pres
ent was a national and not an inter
national exhibition as the Irish indus
tries are not yet sufficiently developed
to be placed beside the manufactures
of other countries.

How important North Dakpta
Legislation Was Secured

Washington. July Tn the closing
house of congress many mistakes
as to the proceedings are made in
the press dispatches. Several mis-
leading items of news concerning
North Dakota legislation have ap-
peared. A notable instance in this
respect was the press report about
the Devils Lake public building bill
The bill originally in the senate was
for $150,000 and 1t passed the senate
for that amount. The house cut it
down to $125,OOO When the bin came
back to the senate the committee res
tored the original amount and it be-
came a law.
In other words. Devils Lake gets
$150000 for a public building. The
total appropriation for Grand Forks
some years ago was $165,000. The
original amount for Fargo in 1890,
was 100000, and this was increased
four years ago by $4,000 for an adj
dition, making total for public build
ings for North Dakota of $495,000, ex-
elusive of the military post lat Bis
marck of 100000, the Indian school
at Wahpeton of 100000, the Bismarck

100000 for weather bureau buildings.

Eound = French Invader.

London, July 7.--Some turf cutters
the other day found the skeleton of a
man in the bog of Coolamber, near
Granard, county Longford, at a depth
of about six feet. The head was mis-
sing, having evidently been rudely
severed from the body. There were
some fragments of military clothing
adhering to the remains and on some
of the appointments around the body
was found the insignia of the Fleur-
de-Lys of France. Everything pointed
to the fact that the skeleton was that
of an il1-fated officer of Gen. Hum
bert's army during the French invas-
ion, who after the allied forces of Ire
land and France had fled from the
battlefield of Ballinamuck, which is
only a short distance from where the
discovery was made, was probably
overtaken in his flight and his head
taken as trophy after his execution.

Seattle Germans Explode the Story
About August Rosenberg, Charged
With Wanting to Assassinate Empe
ror WilIian--Is a Paint Mixer.

Seattle, July THE Central COM
mittee OF the United German societies
of Seattle, at its regular meeting last
night, declared that August Rosen-
berg, arrested In Germany upon sus-
picion of being an anarchist with de-
sign on the life of Emperor William
was nothing but a harmless mixer of
paint.
The letter which caused the arrest
of Rosenberg, the members of the
society claim, was written by a secret
enemy of Rosenberg to the authori-
ties in the fatherland.
A prominent member of the commit
tee, having known Rosenberg for sew
eral years, states that Rosenberg was
the inventor and investigator of paint
compounds and the chemicals and APP
paratus found in Rosenberg's old shop
were all for the purpose of expert
mentations in this line. Most of his
supplies in his researches We're pur-
chased from a local firm and DR.

TRANSPORT ASHORE
THE THOMAS HIT A REEF NEAR
GUAM.
The Boat Is So Firmly Fixed That
There Is Nothing Strong Enough at
Guam to Put 1t Off-Tuns From

Washington, July THE navy de-
partment today received two cable
grams from Commander Potts, naval
governor of the Island of Guam, rela-
tive to the stranding of the army
transport Thomas The first cable
gram simply reported that the ship
was on reef near Guam and that the
station, ship supply had been sent to
her relief. The second message re-
ported that the supply was unable
to pull the Thomas off and that tugs
were needed but none were to be had
at Guam.
Commander Potts further reported
that the Thomas is lying easy and If
present conditions as to weather con-
tinue she is in no danger. The navy
department is in communication with
Manila In an effort to find a suitable
vessel there to proceed to Guam, but
it will be at least week before one

The Latest BattIeship Plans
Differ From Old Models

ture were at least four inches in call
ibre.
A notable feature of the next bat
tleship is the great increase in the
height of the gun positions. 1t is
now generally recognized that a large
ship of 10000 tons displacement could
not use her guns in a seaway unless
they are we'll out of water While the
details of the construction of the
English Dreadnought are not yet
known it seems to be reasonably GER
tain that she carries her twelve inch
guns in five double turrets, disposed
of follows: The foreward gun is on
an elevated forecastle like the cruis-
er's forecastle and the muzzles of the
guns are about thirty-ive feet from
the water. This forecastle does not
extend the full width of the vessel,
but is cut away at the sides SO as to
permit the end-on fire of two foreWard
waist turrets that are on the deck be-
low and that are still sufficiently ele-
waited to be well free of the water.
They are long way from the bow,
about abreast of the forward smoke
pipes. The other two turrets are at
the same height above the water and
are placed tandem on the quarter deck
so that they will fire on the broadside
but only one of them can fire astern
This battery may be modified so as
to allow one of these turrets to fire
over the other.
AS it is now generally appreciated
that the fire Of naval guns can be
sufficiently controlled only by obser-
yations from an elevated position, the
lower masts of these new vessels are
designed on the skeleton principle, as
well as the upper masts and yards
The idea which will probably be in
corporated for the plans of the mex
battleships built for this government
! is to have a structure which canno
be brought down by any reasonable
number of projectiles, since a mum
