GROWTH OF THE TELEPHONE.
Millions of Instruments Are in Use in
This Country.

Washington. - Statistics issued at
the close of the year 1906 show that
there were in use in the United States
alone more than 100000 telephones,
while an aggregate of a little more
than 100000 miles Of wire was used
for telephone service.
The telephone industry gives en-
ployment to 10000 persons in the
United States, an increase of III per
cent. in six years, while during the
same period the number of stations
has increased 239 per cent. and the
wire mileage 349 per cent.
There is little doubt that much Of
this increase is due to the general
adoption Of the so-called message rate
system in place of the fat annual
charge formerly in vogue. BY making
the charges proportional to the num-
Der of calls the use of the telephone
has been widely extended both be-
cause of the greater Willingness OF
people to become subscribers under
such conditions and because the sys-
tenn gives an incentive to the local
telephone companies to give good ser
vice and encourage the use OF the tele-
phone
Another cause for the increase in
the number Of telephones in use is

Arbor Talk to Children Delivered
by Pres. Roosevelt Through Press

Washington, April 16.-- Presi-
dent Roosevelt has addressed Ito
1.-THE school children of the United
States a message on the significance
of Arbor day. which during the
month of April is celebrated in many
states. He says to them it is well
that they should celebrate the day
thoughtfully and that when they
nelp to preserve our forests or to
Iplant new ones they are acting thu
part of good citizens. The message is
as follows:
''To the School Children of the
United States:
"Arbor day (which means simply
tree day') is now observed in every
state in our union and mainly in
the schools. At various times from
January TO December but chiefly In
this month of April, you give a day
or part Of day to special exercises
and perhaps to actual tree planting.
In recognition of the Importance of
trees to us as a nation, and of what
they yield in adornment, comfort
and useful products to the conmu-
mites in which you live.
ut is well that you should ce,e.
Ibrate your arbor day thoughtfully,
for within your lifetime the nations
need Of trees will become serious.
We of an older generation can get

with growing hardship: but In your
'full manhood and womanhood you
win want what nature once

man so thoughtlessly destroy
ed; and because of that want
you win reproach us, not for what
we have used but for what we have
wasted.

or woman and the boy or girl, the
road to success is the right use of
what we have and the Improvement
OF present opportunity. II you ne

SALOONS
MUST BE CAREFUL OF CON-
DUCT IN THE FUTURE.
Council Decides to Reduce Number
and Revoke Licenses for Mis-
conduct Of Holders.

After the regular business OF the
council last night President Pro TEN
Lackey brought up the discussion Of
limiting the number of saloons in The
lefty. Councilman Laclkey stated he
would Nike to see such an ordinance
introduced. In Los Angeles. Cal,
saloons are limited one to every 500
of population. and in Chicago. Bos-
ton and other large cities similar or
dinances are in effect. Paducah now
has go saloons and the plan is to
limit the number until just GO are
operating, not increasing that num-
Der until the city grows larger
1t is not the intention of the coun-
| eli to put any Of the present saloon
keepers out of business So long as
they obey the law. but when the law
is violated to revoke the license and
not grant one again to him or any
other person at that location. In
this way the number could be grad
ually reduced. and the keepers would
necessarily be more cIrcumspect.
All the members agreed that u
would not ne amiss. At present no
license may be transferred and the
Iclty solicitor asked whether the
present method should be observed IN
the new ordinance. The motion car
fried to have The same provision in
the new ordinance If saloonkeeper

shall be eft to the discretion of tho
council as to whether another per
son shall be permitted to continue

CITY PARK PLAN
MEETS APPROVAL
Tenth, Broadway and Ken

Sidewalk, Curb and Gut
ter Improvements Are Ordered
Made by Lower Board.
D. A. R. DRINKING FOUNTAINS

An ordinance granting the park
commissioners power to create q
Ipark in the middle of Tenth street
between Broadway and Kentucky av-
enue was given first passage by the
councilmen last night. The city has
purchased 100 feet through the
block where the. old warehouses
stood for the continuation of Tenth
street. On each side of the street the
plan is to have a walk, 5 feet wide
and a driveway. 20 feet wide. This
leaves so feet for the park. Trees,
flowers and ? seating arrangements
will be prepared, making a pleasant
place to rest as well as pretty spot
for the eye. A walk three feet wide
In the center is planned.
1t was discovered in the new ordi-
nance. fixing licenses for the city, a
wild west show had been omitted. A
license of $50 is charged for a cir
Gus, but the representative OF the
wild west show coming to the city
the latter part of the month, pro-
tested to the mayor that his show
was not circus and asked that a
license of only s25 be charged. May
or ,Yeiser brought the matter before
the council for action. An amend
nient to the ordinance was given
first and second reading, fixing the
license at $50. and IS for each side
show attached. The provision in
cludes a dog and pony show, fixing
the license in that case at $40 to
$40 in the discretion of the mayor,
and SO for each side show. The pro-
vision applies to a show charging so
cents for admission. and those that
charge under that sum are to pay
a license of s25 to $50 according as
the mayor sees fit.

There are hundreds OF thousands OF
people all over this blessed country OF
ours who have been cured Of obstinate,
chronic diseases through the use OF DR..
Pierce's Medicines and It Is only natural
that such people should rise up and speak
their sentiments pretty freely when DR..
Pierce and his medicines are 80 un1ustly
attacked.
These grateful patients Of Or. Pierce
are TO be found In almost every hamlet
and country village. and In the farm
houses and mechanics cottages in every
nook and corner OF this great country.
Common gratitude prompts such people
70 stand up and defend DIR. Pierce and
his medicines against unjust and ma
licious attacks.
DIR. Pierce's Medicines have been on
sale In drug stores all over this country
and In many foreign lands for more than
forty years and yet their sale continues
TO grow in a substantial and most graft
flying way. This could not be the case II
they were not remedies Of more than
ordinary merit
WHAT DO THEY cURE7
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is not
advertised as a ~Cure All but admirably
fulflls eingleness OF purpose, being q
superior and most positive remedy for one
class Of diseases only-those easily recog-
nlZeQ weaknesses, OefduRementS, lFreRu-
laritles and painful disorders peculiar to
women IT Is a powerful, yet gently act
fng, invigorating, tonic and strengthening
nervIne. For weak, worn-out. over-work
ed women-nO matter what has caused
the break down, whether II be from too
frequent bearing OF children or from much
worry, care, or over exertion OF any kind.
~Favorlte Prescription viii be found
most efficient In building up the strength,
regulating all the womanly functions,
banishing pain and bringing about reg
ular and healthy, vigorous condition OF
the whole female system. Thus Il cor
reefs prolapsus, or falling Of womb, retro
version, anteyerslon and other displace-
ments OF the female pelvic organs, due 10
weakness or over exertion, lifting or ia
tiguing over-work. In short, II makes
weak women strong and sick women well.
As TO DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery IL has very large range Of appli-
cation. yet IL Is by no means recommended
as sCure.All.p IL possesses marvellous
Alternative, or blood cleansing, properties
and Is AZ the same time most invlgorat-
ing tonic, OF strength giyer. II exerts
specific, cleansing, soothing and healing
effect upon all the lining mucous mem
branes Of the system; hence, its great
curative value IN all catarrhal affections,
no matter where located.
