THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRST. THAT almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacemeuts
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, dir
ziness and sleeplessness.
SECOND. The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound:
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backachc,
nervousness, kidney troubles, intlam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
TmRD.-The great volume of unsO.
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
tow omen.--W omen suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham. at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter.
in-law OF Lydia L. Pinkham and for
! twenty.tiv years under her direction
and since her decease she has been adj
vising sick women free ofcharge. Out OF
the vast volume of experience in treat
| ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
! your case. Surely, any woman, rich OF
! poor, is very foolish if she does not take
advantage of this generous offer OF

THE FULL REPORT.
President Roosevelt Sends Congress
Documents Sustaining Garfeld's
Charges Against Standard Oil.
COVERS 500 PRINTED PAGES
Copies of Original Documents Are
Included, Showing Relations
Existing Between the Oil
Trust and Railroads.

Washington, May 1S.-President
Roosevelt Thursday transmitted to
congress the complete report of Com
missioner Garfield on Standard Oil,
synopsis of which was sent to congress
May 4. In sending the complete re-
port to the president Mr.. Garfield took
occasion to answer the comments of
various railway officers and others on
the statements he had made in his
synopsis. T. \.
The report covers 500 printed pages.
In support of the various allegations
made by him Mr.. Garfield prints bodily
In the report copies Of waybills, LETT
tiers of railroad officials bearing on
transactions with agents Of the Stand
ard Oil and Independent oil companies
special oil tariffs of various railroads.
bills of lading, blind bills of lading
and secret understandings and agree
ments of the several railroad COM
panies named with the Standard Oil
company. In many instances, accord
ing to the copies of the waybills, the
rate paid by the Standard Oil company
was only 80 1-3 per cent of the amount
stated In the bill.
The testimony of employees Of rail-
roads is given in confirmation of the
Goncealment of rates granted to the
Standard Oil company. Although it is
alleged in the case of the Chicago &
Alton railroad, the general tariff Of
f9ers admitted the existence Of secret
rate and the purpose was to conceal
1t from other railroads and not from
the shippers, one Of the leading freight
clerks of the Alton is quoted as testi-
tying that the secret rate was intended
only for the benefit of the Standard
Oil company and that had any other
shipper inquired for rates he would
not have been given the low rate &C 7
corded the Standard OIL company.
The report further shows the esta-
hlishment of through rates from small,
inconsequental and in many instances
obscure points near large shipping
centers, and the filing Of the tariffs
with the Interstate commerce COM
mission as evidence that the rate were
not secret. But Mr.. Garfield maintains
that by this arrangement the rates
were effectively secret because any
shipper other than the Standard OIL
company in applying for rates would
be given the published rates from other
places in the vicinity Of the small
points referred to which in every case
were considerably higher. He declares
that the railroads recognized the ire
gularity Of the arrangement "and that
they designed to hide the rate from
al shippers except the Standard OIL
company.

DIVIDE THE WATER
Treaty Arranged Between Secreta-
~ Root and Mexican Represen-
tative Regarding Rio Grande.
THE SENATE MAY OBJECT.
The Question of Right to the Flow
of the River Has Been i'm
Dispute for Nearly
Century.

Washington, May 22.-Secretary
Root for the United States and Am
oassador Casasus, for the Mexican
government, Monday signed treaty
regulating the use Of the waters Of
the Rio Grande which, II approved
by the senate, will remove what has
been for 20 years past a source OF
friction in the relations of the two
countries.
For almost a century the Mexicans
living along the lower river have
made large use of its waters for the
purpose of irrigating their lands. But
in recent years private companies on
the upper waters in the United States
have, by the construction Of wing
dams, diverted large part of the
water to this side of the river. The
Mexicans have preferred claims for the
damage sustained but SO far without
success. Now the plans nf the re-
3.amatlon service have mace it GER
tain that practically all of the water
Will be retained On American soil I'M
oss some proper scheme of division
en- be arranged, The construction of
the 100000 dam across the Rio
Grande at Engel, New Mexico brought
the matter to a climax and led to
negotiations between the two coun-
ries which eliminated in the treaty
signed Monday. The underlying prin-
ciple of the convention is the recogni-
ton of the common law right Of the
Mexicans to the use Of fair share Of
the waters Of the river but as the
Tnited States government is put to
the entire expense Of building the
great dam and the canals the Mexican
share is only fractional proportion
of the whole flow 1t is estimated
that the impounded waters will suf-
fee to irrigate about 100000 acres Of
otherwise arid land and It is stipulated
that sufficient water which is to make
arabic about $4,000 acres of land. will
be delivered on the Mexican side Of
re border each year. For Its part,
the Mexican government guarantees
the United States government against
any suit for liability on account Of
claims Of individual Mexicans who
nave so far suffered through the d.
version of water.
Opposition to the treaty is expected
m the part Of some Of the western
senator's who express the belief that
either the United States is entitled to
all Of the water without compensa-
ton IN view Of the great expenses
TO which It has been put by the work
OF constructing the irrigating dams
and canals or that II the Mexican
right Is to be recognized at all its
title should be purchased outright By
a cash payment

Baltimore, May 22.-The annua

was introduced by Secretary Bona
parte discussed civil service reform az
applied to the government Offices OF
today and the institution Of a pension
system for the benefit of civil service
employees.
He said in part:
There has been a great deal OF
criticism of the operation of the merit
system in Panama. At first the pres
ident extended the system to include
almost every position in the canal
service, but 1t did not work success
fully because there were no eligable
lists covering technical positions, such
as locomotive engineers, dredge oper-
ators, etc. The principle was right.
think the merit system will be grad
ually extended after the emergency
period In the organization Of the canal
service shall have been passed.
1.-THE merjt system has brought
out a condition In Washington which
is worthy of comment. We are apt to
look upon the government as consti-
tuted Of president, of cabinet min
listers and OF congress. The truth Of
the matter is the government could
go on for some time without a pres
ident, without a cabinet and without
congress II the appropriations lasted.
Il hope that at some time in the
near future we shall provide civil PEN
sions for those in the government SER

not popular to advance such propo-
sition. know Of the obstacles be-
cause OF the pensions which are here
provided for those who risked their
