The Proper Use of the U. 5. Mails.

Postmaster General Won Meyer,

of the parcels post and postal

correspondence with leading edu-

an effort to have the schools
teach the pupile proper use of
the mails.
The ignorance of the general
public in some of the simple re-

says the Postmaster General, is
something astonishing. Car loads

Laxative for
Women Free

There is a great difference in the
purposes to which a laxative should
be put. Tablets and pills, salts, ETC.,
are usually violent purgatives or
cathartics, and altogether too power
full for the average person.
A woman at all times needs only
mild laxative-in fact, none other is
needed by anyone, weak or strong though
they may be, for the object is simply to
move the bowels, and if a gentle laxative
will do it, what is the use of a violent
one?
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin has earned
Well-deServed vogue among women and
children and old folks-people who must
necessarily be careful of what they take.
1t is a liquid laxative tonic and adj
mittedly the greatest stomach liver and
bowel remedy before the American people.
The price is only so cents or 81 a bottle,
as it comes in both sizes, and all drug
gists sell it. Its pleasant taste and gentle
action make it an ideal remedy for women
in constipation, torpid liver, sour stom-
ach, sick headache, heartburn and such
like digestive complaints. It's use for
short time will remove the trouble en-
tirelyi so that future medication will be
unnecessary. It's tonic properties build up
that they act naturally again. That this
is so is the experience of many heads of
families, like Mrs. Brannan, of Alvarado,
Va, Mrs. K. L. Stout, of Louisville, KY.
Williams, CAL, as Mrs. J. e. Blackmore,
of that place, writes, the whole town
seems to be using it.
If the remedy is new to you and you
want to make trial of it before buying.
send your name to the Doctors address
as below and free test bottle will be sent
you Then, II results are satisfactory
you can buy It OF your druggist.

TWO AIRSHIP FLIGHTS
NEW AMERICAN RECORD.
Wr1ghfs Machine Under Perfect
Control IN II Minute Test.

Washington, Sept. Sat Fort Myer to-day
Orville Wright made the two greatest aeroplane
flights ever made publicly in this country, when
he remained in the air for over eleven minutes
on his first flight and for nearly eight minutes
on his second. There was apparently no reason
why the flights could not have been of even
greater duration, as the aviator landed the sec
ond time because of the approaching darkness.
Throughout both flights Mr.. Wright apparently
had the machine under perfect control rising at
times to sixty feet and making sharp turns.
1t was a few minutes before O'Clock when
Mr. Wright signalled his assistant to release the
machine. 1t shot along the track and rose al
most Immediately after leaving it, Silent with
amazement the large crowd that had waited for
several hours for the expected flight watched
the aeropane whirl around the ground. fitting
up at the turns like automobile taking the
banks at the. curves of a racecourse. Sweeping
to earth like a giant eagle, the machine was
brought down by Mr.. Wright within thirty feet
of the starting apparatus, having made thirteen
complete circles of the field in eleven minutes
and ten seconds.
Twenty minutes after the first trial Mr.
Wright started the second flight. On one
trip around the field he flew over the stables
which line it on one side, and again another
round he flew over the aerial garage" where
the aeroplane is housed. After eight rounds OF
the field Mr.. Wright brought his machine down
within few feet of the aerial garage"

that on the second flight he covered four and

Three of Nine Test Districts A Agdinst
Nomination.

Governor Hughes carried six of the nine New
York County Assembly districts in which the
test vote was taken in the primaries yesterday
Iation by President Parsons of the county COM
mittee 13 out of total of 1S9 delegates from
New York County in the Saratoga convention.
Mr.. Parsons believes that in all districts
where the so-called better element constitutes
a large proportion OF the voting population
Governor Hughes is strong with the voters.
while in the districts with large foreign born
population the sentiment to a degree is opposed
to his denomination.
For instance. Mr.. Parsons takes the I'd As
sembly District far down the lower East
Side. which went against Hughes yesterday by
d vote of $50 so, and assumes that in other
lower East Side districts with somewhat sim
liar population the sentiment is relatively the
same Similarly he assumes that in the better
residential parts of the city the sentiment IS
likely to be the same as in the 10Th and 2Jth-
BY this process of reasoning he gives the Gov
ernor. as already stated, 73 out of the 1S9 dele
gates from New York County.
only very small percentage of the enrolled
Republican strength showed itself at the polls.
Practically only a third of the enrolment
strength was expressed in ballots

Hughes test in detail For the purposes OF

OPINION or The President OF A
KANSAS BANK.
Saws 1t Was Panic of the Bankers,
Not a Panic of the People. II
Chicago and Other Reserve Cities
Had Stood Firm 1t Would Have
Been Averted.

w. C. Robinson, president First Ma
tional bank. Winfield, Kansas, has writ
ten for the Chicago Banker an interesting
article, from which the following was
taken:
"When an epidemic ovsrtakes the
country, thousands OF people have a
'cure.all.' In the financial predicament
in which we find ourselves, presume
many have given you formula for not
only restoration of confidence, but to pre-.
vent recurrence of anything similar in
the future. The west disclaims land l
think rightly, too) any responsibility for
the present unheard.o of conditions. 1t
does seem strange that the closing of one
trust company in New York City should
cause to be locked up, practically. the
currency of the United States. Don't
you think 60? Never before in the west
has business been more prosperous or
banks better able to favor the people in
handling their immense crops. The
entire west looked forward, as late as the
latter part of October to an unprecedented
year as to easy and profitable conditions
in business, but our hopes were shattered
when the institution so proudly named
the Knickerbocker, couldn't pay any
longer. We are told that 1T rains upon
the just as well as the unjust This
proverb is true as we'll as. the innocent
must suffer with the guilty. The west
is in this latter position, or maybe bet
ter, the western banks ind themselve es
in the position that tradition tells us that
old Dog Tray did. This would not be
so bad were it not that our depositors
find themselves in a similar position to
the 'poor dog that was said to have be-
longed to old Mother Hubbard Her
cupboard was bare, so the poor dog got
none.' 1t has been very EN- mbarrassing
to many and almost unexplainable. 1t
has been my conviction all along that
the present condition in the money mar
ket should not have gotten further west
than New York. If the banks in the re.
serve cities outside OF New York had
taken the position that there was moth.
ing wrong in financial conditions, I verify
believe that there would have been no
excitement or uneasiness and that every.
thing would have been continued normal.
The people throughout the entire west
have been loyal and prudent, and have
given the banks the most favorable con-
sideration. Ii this disturbance shall 90
down in history as panic, it will be
named Panic OF the Bankers not
Panic of the People, Someone should
