 Dear Mrs. Pinkham;
 "For six years suffered from female weakness. 1 was so irregular that I would go from three weeks to six months, so I thought l would give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound trial.
 "Now am once more well and can do my work without pain. Any one who wishes, can write to me and I will answer all letters gladly.n
 Women should remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound holds the record for the greatest number of actual cures of female ills. Every suffering woman i n tn e United States is asked to accept the following invitation. It is free, will bring you health and may save your life.

EM OOSTER'S Club members now
Nh number about five hundred the
roster having doubled in length
since last sunday when 1t was pub.
lished for the first time. glance
at the list of names is enough to
convince anyone that this club is go
ing to accomplish its object. for an
organization composed of such mem
bers should be able to cope with a
proposition even harder than the
squelching of knockers and the boost
ing of Tidewatcr Virginia ana the
jamestown Exposition
a majority of the city's leading cit.
liens have signed blanks or books:
even some OF those who heretofore
have been rated rs Knockers OF the
first class have joined the boosters
and solemnly pledged themselves TO
sheath tho hammer. Even good
booster is not more welcome in the
club than Il reformed knocker: for
the club wins victory every time
a knocker sees the error of his way
and comes into the fold.
Doing Real Good.
During the past week the boosters
club has been much discussed and
the public is beginning to realize that
through this unique organization
which has neither officers nor meet
ings, real benefits may be derived
by the Exposition and this section and
Newport News particularly. The club
1s hand wagon on which every good
citizen should ride and the passeng-
ers are climbing aboard by the score
every day.
No one should refrain from joining
because he or she may feel unable
to do great deal of boosting. Every
name added TO the LIST adds strength
to the movement and even though
no great amount of boosting is done
II is somthing to have five hundred
or thousand active citizens pledged
TO do no knocking
Why You Should JOHN.
One man or woman going from
Tidewater TO other parts OF the state
and country can do the Exposition
and section vast amount of harm
by sighting words dropped here and
there. No knock IS as damaging as
one coming from n person supposed
to be In n position to know whereof
he or she speaks, and people on the
ontside can be expected TO believe
that the situation here must he very
bad indeed when citizen of Tide
water cannot find good word to
say about his section or the great fair
in which Tidewater people more than
anyone else should be Interested
What You Have to DO.
When you become q member of the
Boosters Club you make no personal
sacrifice and promise no arduous ser
vice. The pledge requires that you
do only what ordinary civic pride. II
not self interest should direct that
yon say only favorable things about
your own city and section and the Ex-
position, ana decline to listen to the
grumbling and knocking OF thought
less or malicious persons.
When the list Of members is pub
lished again next Sunday there should
be three or four times as many names.
No man or woman in the city should
find it too much trouble to stop at a
hank or hotel and sign the book to
I've found there and sign tho blanl,
published in the Daily Press.

NO CONGRESSMAN?
Is the Use of Such Term Wholly
Out of Place.

Editor The Washington Herald:
II is very common 20 see in even the
best newspapers and to hear from
educated men the expression Con
gresham so and so" This is a mistake.
There is no such thing as Congress
man There is "a Congress" which is
composed of the Senate and House Of
Representatives when assembled. The
Constitution Of the United States.
article I, section I reads. All legislative
powers herein granted shall be vested
in a Congress OF the United States.
which shall consist of a Senate and
House of Representatives.
Section >. from paragraph I 70 para
graph .. provides for the House of Rep
resentatives; section 5 provides for the
Senate ard defines its powers. and sec
ton ( provides how the Senate and
House OF Representatives shall as
Semble and form the Congress.
This Congress is not composed Of the
individual Senators and Representa-
tives. but Of the two Houses provided
for. the one Of which represents the
people directly. and other the States in
their sovereign capacity.
Nowhere in the Constitution is there
named such a being, created in tire last
few years as "a Congressman" Every
where. when il is necessary to men
ton them or any of them. the COnstitu-
ton speaks of senators and Represen-
tatives"
The members OF these two bodies are
protected from arrest only when their
services are needed in the Congress.
and this is an additional proof, if any
was needed. that they are not Con-
gressmen. but Senators and Represen-
tatives. who are a part Of Congress
when there is a Congress.
The Lord protect me from being a
reformer in the ordinary sense Of that
word as now used. but l would like TO

StudiouS Physicians Indignant over
AhoIishing OId-time Custom.

Physicians of this city, Baltimore.
and Philadelphia are incensed at what
they characterize as the exceedingly
penurious disposition Of the Librarian
OF the Surgeon Generals Library in the
Army Medical Museum, Seventh and 3
streets southwest.
Uutil recently physicians using the
library for reference. and to extend
their knowledge of the practice OF
medicine, have been furnished with
blank paper at Uncle Sans expense
when they wished to make notes on
some treatise they had read. This
practice. il is said, has been IN vogue
for twenty-five or thirty years past.
and has been a great convenience TO
readers. Recently. however. the Ii
braTian has posted signs in the reading
room to the effect that hereafter read
ers must furnish their own paper for
taking notes. In consequence many Of
the physicians having frequent recourse

Inconvenience and annoyed at having
TO hunt the neighborhOod for sta
tionery store.
Mai. Walter McCaw. librarian. states
that he issued the order when il was
brought TO his attention that the sup
ply of paper was running low. He says
that he sees no reason for furnishing
stationery To outsiders, gratis, and has
heard no complaints.
7 do not know of any other library
that furnishes paper to its readers
when they wish TO make notes. IF you
go 20 the Congressional or other IL
brary YOU will find that YOU are not
furnished paper. I don't think the
practice will be resumed when we OBJ
tain another requisition. Why should
IL he done? I know of no order or pre-
cedent. The practice probably grew
from 4 habit. OF course. in such
place there is lot Of stationary lying
about and it is probable that when
physician wished 20 make some notes
he was given a scratch tablet upon re-
quest. and this has grown until they

in honor Of Mrs. Eddy. This apartment
is extremely costly and dainty in its
furnishings, but the famous founder OF
the faith has occupied it only twice since
it was built. She has been in retire
ment for seven years and receives only
limited number Of callers, who come
to her on the most important business.
About eighty years ago there lived near
Palmyra, n Y, a boy named Joseph
Smith. One night this young man claimed
to have had vision, In which it was
revealed to him that certain wonderful
plates. inscribed with mysterious charac-
tiers. were hidden IN nearby hill, Smith
found the strange tablets. and by using
magical stone managed to translate the
queer, Chinese-like characters on them
into English. The inscription on these
plates was claimed to be a revelation,
upon which was based a new religious
sect. known as the Mormons.

church in Salt Lake, is a nephew Of the

explanation that is made of his love for

said that the fright he received ora this
occasion was so great that the memory
of il has remained with him through all
the years since then. He cannot bear to
