that is found within the pans is col
lected. This industry is carried on
only in districts where the ground is
dry and will readily absorb the vapor
given off from the water in the pans.
The freezing. of course. is due to the
great amount of heat absorbed by the
vapor in passing from its liquid to its
gaseous form.
Another process was practiced in the
day of ancient Rome when the wealthy

the evaporation of water could be IA

DRUNKENNESS A DURABLE DIS
EASE.
Eminent Physicians and Scientific Men
Agree That 1t Should Be Treat
ed as Such.

Drunkenness is a progressive dis
ease; the moderate drinker is not sat
isfied with two or three drinks a day:
the craving for more and more becomes
irresistible as the disease advances ;
the result is chronic alcoholism.
The, treatment used successfully by
thousands right in their own homes is
Orrine. 1t is scientific cure for drunk
enness and has given such universal
satisfaction that ii is sold under a pos
tive guarantee to effect cure or your
money will be refunded. This guaran
tee is given in good faith and carried
out to the letter Orrine is not new
remedy: it has been sold by the lead,
ing druggists in every city for years
1t has lifted tens of thousands from the
depths to worthy manhood and has the
hearty endorsement Of grateful mon
and women in every state in the union
Orrine No. l is the secret remedy
Orrine No is for those willing to take
the treatment. Either form costs 81.
The guarantee is the same in either
case. Write to the Orrine company
Washington, D. c.. for free treatise on
drunkenness, mailed in plain sealed en-
velope. Orrine will be mailed sealed on
receipt of price. Sold by leading drug
Sists in every town and city, and in
this city by the Harper House phar-
macy.

Why should this be the case ?

Because they have neglected them
selves, as every one of these patients
in the hospital beds had plenty of
warning in those dragging sensations,
pains at left or right of abdomen,
backaches, nervous exhaustion, in
hammation, liberation, dispIace-
ments and other organic weaknesses.
All of these symptoms are indica-
tiops of an unhealthy condition of the
female system and if not needed the
penalty has to be paid by dangerous
operation. When these symptoms
manifest themselves, do not drag
along until you are obliged to go to
the hospital and submit to an opera
tion-but remember that Lydia T..

from native roots and herbs, has saved

ELECTING THE SENATORS.

More and more the apparent neccssi-
ty for a constitutional amendment that
will admit of the election of United
States Senators by tho people where
the people desire to elect them, is be-
coming thing of the past Such
States as desire to elect United States
Senators direct are gradually getting
in line and elccting them. The South
ern States led of in this proposition,
which is merely following of the lead
that made the change in the actual
method of electing the President and
Vice. President Of the United States
Under the constitution, an electoral
body was provided in the different
States equal In number to the number
Of Senators and Representatives which
that State has in Congress. The theory
WAS that this body Of electors so chosen
in the different States would meet TO.
gether and patriotically deliberate upon
the best men TO elect as President and
Nice'President and proceed with the
election without any prompting from
the popular will The people were sup
posed merely 10 choose the electors.
and the electors would do the rest. As
matter of fact, however, for u great
many years these electors have been
mere fgureheads, machines, AS one
might say, TO register the popular
choIee The people vote just as truly
and Just as certainly for President and
V1ce-President as they would, had no
electoral college been provided. The
electoral college remains and registers
the people g will. and that is all.
In like manner, the constitution pro.
vides that tho Legislatures of the diff.
ferent States shall elect the United
states Senators. But In those States
where the people have taken the mat.
ter into their own hands, the LegisIa-
