WEIGHT OF MILK.

Milk weighs about eight and a half
pounds to the gallon, varying little
according to the percentage of solids.
Cream will weigh about eight pounds

LYDIA E. PlNKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years IN
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia e. Pinkham moro than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their %.
culiar ills, more potent and effcMs
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of SIG NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
'tFor twelve years had been suffer.
ing with the worst forms of female ill&
During that time 1 had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what l suffered, and at timeB1
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs, Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Conn
pound and Mrs. Pinkhams advice re-
stored health and strength. It 10
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"

ADVOCATES PROHIBITION.
Address by Matthew E. OBrien at
Union N. =. Church.

Matthew =. O'Brien, congressional rep
resentative of the .prohibitionists. deliver
ed an address in favor of prohibition in
the District of Columbia at the Union M.
E. Church, Goth street. Sunday night. He
took up the arguments made by the op-
ponents at the hearing before the Dis
trict Commissioners and rebutted the
effect Of those arguments by claiming
that they were built upon wrong pre-
misses.
Mr.. O'Brien declared that every one,
even the saloonkeeper, admits that the
terrible results of overindulgence- in
liquor should be remedied. but still they
claim that prohibition would not accom-
the temptation of attractive saloons
would not increase temperance, the
speaker asked, how was it expected to
make for temperance by licensing the sale
of that which intoxicAtes?
All of the speakers. he said, claimed
that violations of the prohibition law
would be sure to follow If such law
were enacted. In his opinion the viola
tions of license laws are as great as the
violations of prohibitory laws The
speaker could see no difference in the
effects of liquor sold in licensed saloons
and in the ''speakeasies, which the op-
ponents of prohibition seemed to fear SO
much under prohibition laws. The fact
is that there are now both speakeasies
and saloons In the District, he declared.
Mr.. OBrien said: ''The liquor men re-
fer to the statement of Bishop Satterlee
that he is not "a prohibitionist I neard
the reverend bishop say that while not a
prohibitionist he is opposed to the liquor
traffic and believes that 1t should be
treated as a contagious disease and be
segregated or quarantined. l want to
call attention to the fact, however, that
when We quarantine contagious diseases
we do not leave the doors of our isolation
hospitals open to the public and invite
them. to enter. If the saloons could be
quarantined as contagious diseases are
and the public kept out l would have no
objections to the quarantine method, but
to drive the saloon out of residential sec
tions into the poorer sections of the city
where the people are less able to combat
the evil influence Of the saloons and sub
ject to the danger persons who are the
most susceptible to the influences of the
saloon is q vicious proposition.

MANS SUPREME OBLIGATION.
Theme Of DR.. John Lee Allison In
Sermon Sunday.


Rev. Dr. John Lee Allison, pastor OF
Gunton- Temple Memorial Presbyterian
Church. took as his morning theme Sun
day "The Supreme Obligation" and the
text was found in Mark. xii:3O
DIR. Allison said. in part: MANS birth
imposes certain binding obligations. They
are fundamental and exorable He
must be diligent and conscientious in re-
mitting his constantly recurring indebt-
edness Every man owes the life of an
honorable. exemplary citizen to the gov
ernment under which he lives and by
which he is protected. Every husband
owes a support and proper protection to
his wife and children: wives and parents
owe fidelity and devotion to husbands and
children. The one supreme obligation.
however. that presses itself and demands
payment is that he love the Lord God
with all his heart, with all his soul with
all his strength and with all his mind
"Other obligations are important and
imperative, but they stand in a subordi-
nate relation to the obligation that is
supreme and infinitely higher. The
Lords claims are such. and He stands so
related to all times-the past. present and
future-that no man can be what he
ought to be until he discharges this first
and supreme obligation. 1t consecrates
every other relation and fits for the dis
charge Of every other duty
1.-The nature of this supreme obligation
to love God is cordial and affectionate
with all the heart: ardent and vigorous
with all the strength, and supreme God 8
claim to mans love rests upon the moral
beauty and grandeur of His character
1t is His spotless purity, moral perfec-
ton and unrivaled goodness that make
our love so intense and veneration so pro-
found. Religion demands that He who is
supreme In the universe should be su-
preme also in the human soul. swaying it
as He pervades creation with unrivaled
energy.
''The reason of the discharge of this
supreme obligation Is in the fact that to
love God is the noblest exercise OF our
faculties and the foundation OF all our
other duties. 1t incites to noble effort. en-
courages to great deeds. ennobling human
service and transfiguring the common
place in life"
AT the evening service DR.. Allison took
as his subject Elijah the third In
series of moral heroes of the Old Testa-
ment. The speaker called him the proph-
ct OF action, the reformer and hero OF
Mount Carmel.

matters OF local Importance are to be dis
large attendance at the regular meeting
the new schoolhouse.
The evening was given almost entirely

Sary stone could be secured
Mr.. William Lamar spoke at length on
the proposition to issue $5O0OOO Of state
bonds for improving the main highways.
and pointed out the advantages to be
gained by change in the system of keep
ing the tax books of Montgomery county.
His suggestions resulted in the adoption
of resolutions offered by Mr.. H. T. New
comb indorsing the bond issue and re-
questlng the passage by the legislature
of bill requiring the county commits
sioners to keep the tax books by election

is done at the present time. The resolu-
tions also asked that the commissioners
be empowered to make additional tax
levies for road improve ements in the vari-
Gus election districts upon the petition
of the residents Of those districts.
The purpose of having the books kept
by election districts. 1t was explained. is
to show exactly how much tax each sec

CITIZENS HOLD MEETING.
North Washington Association Con
siders School Question.

That 1.-The appointment of a director
Of education for the District of Columbia
should be in the hands Of the Comis-
sioners of the District Of Columbia, for
the reasons that they are in closer touch
with the needs of the community, the

such importance is better than that OF
one. and any information which the

may have relative to suitable candidates
for the position Of director Of education

ton earnestly appeals to the Senate and
the House of Representatives of the

made to said bill: and that copy Of

tanning the present system. contending
that it has not been given a fair trial.
