Washington Chat

1t was a great surprise to the
members of the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs to learn that the
soldiers wanted as witnesses in the
Brownsville inquiry, which opens be-
fore that committee next week, are
scattered from Maine to California
Most of them are without funds and
the Government must bring them +"
Washington to testify. All this will
entail much expense and trouble, the
cost of the investigation being esti-
mated at $75, 1000.
The Secretary of War and members
of the committee have been in con-
ference for the purpose o. coming to
an agreement, so that the demand for
certain witnesses would not conflict
with the same witnesses at IA court
martial of officers OF the battalion
discharged. 1t was finally agreed
that the witnesses wanted for the
cOurt-martial should first testify at
Brownsville and then come to Wash
ington as early as possible.
Just now the telegraph wires are
kept hot in the endeavor to locate
many of the discharged soldiers in
order that the investigation may be
completed and report made to the
Senate in the few remaining days OF
the session.

Lame Back.

This ailment is usually caused by
rheumatism of the muscles and by
applying Chamberlain'S Pain Balm
two or three times day and rubbing
the parts vigorously at eacn appica-

bind on piece of flannel slightly
dampered with Pain Balm, and quick
relief is almost sure to follow. Eor

She was very proud OF her first bank

There was no danger of overdrawing

Every check was duly recorded on the
stub, and every four checks balance
was correctly struck.
But how is it, asked the man one
day when looking over her book; how
is it that your checks always come
out in even dollars? Do you ever have
a sum like $5.f1 TO pay?"
yes, often; but ! have famous

While the President has committed
himself to the proposition for an in
crease in the salaries of government
employees, he has not as yet endorsed
any particular plan for proposition
ing the increase. 1t is thought, how
ever, that he looks with favor on the
bill which provides for increases as
high as 40 per cent for employees re-
ceiving as low as 240 per year and
from then on up the increase grows
smaller until it reaches those re-
ceiving $4,000 to $500, when the in
crease is from to 10 per cent. One
thing about which the President is
firm is that army and navy officers
and enlisted men shall be included in
any bill making an increase.
The bill favored by the President
and by many Representatives and
which is likely to receive some con-
sideration before the close of the pre-
sent session, would increase the ex-
crease the expenses of the government
about SIZE, 900, 900 year, as rural and
city letter carriers, railway mail agents
and all classes of government en-
ployees would be included. While
the question of increase is up, some
talk is heard OF placing an amend
ment on the bill which would prohi-
bit the employment of both a man
and his wife in the government SER
vice. This question has been up be-
fore but action was never taken upon
it. Ever since the members of con-
gress obtained an increase in salaries,
the army of Uncle Sans clerks in
most every state, and especially those
here Washington, are pressing the
point for salary increase and the out
look for success is considered bright.
Considerable interest is manifested
throughout the country in the plans
of cooperation for the improvement
of roads and for road building, re-
Gently authorized by the Postmaster
General and the Secretary of Agri.
culture. Reports received by the Post
Office Department from many states
indicates forcibly the immediate need
for carrying on this work with the
utmost dispatch for in some states
the country roads are almost impass-
able and the rural mail delivery is
impeded seriously. This has resulted
in numerous complaints reaching the
Department from people along the
rural routes and while the object oil
the postal officials in cooperating
with the Agricultural Department and
with the various state and county
road commissioners, is primarily to
facilitate the..delivery of mali, the re.
suiting road Improvements incident
thereto are OF great benefit to all the
people of the communities affected, in

tween the farms and towns.

All Applications received Tor govern

Year after year, the big pillars on
both sides of the Treasury building
have been crumbling and falling
away. In late months they have be-
come a menace to the safety of the
structure and to the thousands OF peO-
pie who daily enter and leave the
building. Now, the officials have
awakened to the necessity of doing
something to protect the pillars from
further disintegration and it is proba-
BILE that the sundry civil bill will
carry an appropriation of $3.50, 900 to
replace the old sandstone columns
with blocks of granite.
At present these columns are so
black that they seriously detract from
the appearance of the Treasury bnild-
ing, generally recognized as being
one of the finest examples OF archi-
lecture in the United States. The
sandstone long ago began to give way
against the attack of the elements and
slices of the pillars occasionally fall to
the ground. Attempts have been
made to clean these columns but
owing to their porous character this
has been impossible.
The automobiles of senators become
unruly just the same as do those
owned by less noted folks. Senator
Knox of Pennsylvania, whisked up
to the White House one cold day this
week, stepped out OF his ''palace on
Wheels" passed through the turn
stile doors of the Executive Mansion
and was soon in the presidents office.
Twenty minutes later he re-appeared
on the portico, j"mped into the
vehicle, comfortably seated himself
on the soft cushions and gave orders
to the driver where he desired to go.
Surprising to say, there was moth

machine. 1t refused to bulge

DR.. ADDISON'S DESCRIPTION OF
ANAEMIA.

Symptoms Clearly Stated by Famous Eng.
lish Physician. Considered Incurable
Then. Synopsis of a Recent Characters.
tic Case at jackson, Mich., in Which a
Thorough Cure Was Effected by DIR. VIII.
liams' Pink Pills.
DR.. Thomas Addison, of London, was one
of the foremost figures in the medical world
during the past century and his description
OF the symptoms of an8mia will probably
never be improved upon. He says: SIT
makes its approach in so slow a manner
that the patient can hardly fix date to the
earliest feeling of languor which is shortly
to become so extreme. The countenance
gets pale, the whites of the eyes become
pearly, the frame flabby. There is an in
creasing indisposition to exertion, with an
uncomfortable feeling of faintness or
palpltates, the whole surface of the body
presents blanched, smooth and waxy APP
pearance. The lips, gums and tongue seem
bloodiess, the fiabbiness increases, the
appetite fails, extreme languor and faint
ness follow, breathlessness and palpitation
or emotion >and some slight swelling is
probably perceived about the ankles. The
debility becomes extreme"
In DR.. AddisOn's timesan@mia was re-
garded as hopelessly incurable and in its
chronic stage, called persistent, pernicious
modern methods. But in its earlier stages
it finds ready remedy in DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and these pills have cured cases
almost without number. But as DR.. Addi-
son says, the disease is stealthy in its ap-
preach and may be well advanced before it
is detected On this account it is advisable
to begin treatment as soon as the first
symptom is noted.
In many cases an4mia follows some form
OF stomach or bowel trouble. This was the
experience of Mrs. B. Brown, of 3OS Column
bus street, Jackson, Mich, who says: 81

eighteen years old and this resulted in

SUMMER RHEUMATISM
Painful Form of the Disease that
Comes In Hot Weather.

Many people are especially suscepti-
bile to rheumatism in the summer, due
to eating acid fruits, to sitting in
draught when perspiring, or to other
causes. These sufferers will be inter-
ested in knowing of a remedy for
rheumatism called Neuralgia Anodyne.
which is so uniformly successful that
1t is sold by dealers everywhere, with
the understanding that the money will
he refunded, if it does not do all that
is claimed for 1t.
Neuralgia Anodyne is used inter-
nalIy and externally, thus reaching the
nerve centres, and at the same time
absorbed through the pores of the
skin, eases the aching muscles and
throbbing nerves.
All rheumatism sufferers should try
Neuralgia Anodyne, and see the quick
relief they get. A large bottle costs
but rs cts. Made by The Twitchell-

THE COMPULSORY SCHOOL LAW.

That the cities of Maine do not have
the necessary schoolroom for accommo-
dating the children of the compulsory
school ages was asserted by State Fac
tory Inspector George E. Morrison be-
fore meeting of school superintend-
ents in Augusta, presided over by the
State school superintendent, Payson
Smith. Mr.. Morrison quoted his home
city of Biddeford, saying that if the
children of the compulsory school age
were forced to 60 to school, they could
houses and the city hall and the churches
in Biddeford, and asserted that the CON
ditions were similar in the other Maine
cities. He stated that he believed if
the school officers compelled the at
tendance of the school children up to
IA years of age, they would have their
hands full, and doubted the expediency
of any law to compel attendance after
that age.
Supt. G. E. Paul of Bingham and sew
eral Others vigorously opposed any idea
of reducing the compulsory school age,
saying that in the rural schools, especial
ly, the shorter school year necessitated
the later schooling. Mr. Paul wanted
to know what should be done with a
boy so bad that he kept school in tur-
moil if he were compelled 70 go, and
made the school of little profit to others.
State Supt. Smith said that the boys
absence would injure the school, and en-
courage the others that they might play
truapt. He saw no alternative but to
send that boy to the State institution
provided for such cases. State Snpt.
Smith expressed the opinion the next
legislature will have to deal with an
attempt to reduce the compulsory
school age, and that the attempt will
come from those anxious to employ
child labor.
