High Pressure DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work inces-
sanity with brain and hand to hold their owu
nowadays. Never were the demands or bus
in ass the wants OF the family, the require
ments OF society, more numerous. The first
effect OF the praiseworthy effort to keep up
with all these things IL commonly seen In a
weakened or deb!litated condition OF the
nervous system, which results In dyspepsia.
detective nutrition Of botn body and brain,
and in extreme cases in complete nervous
prostration. 1t 10 clearly seen that what 10
needed Is what will sustain the system, give
vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep the
digestive and assimilative functions healthy
and active. From personal knowledge, We
can recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla for this
purpose. 1t acts on all the vital organs,
builds up the whole syst EN-, and fts men
and women for these high pressure days.

THE temperance people are making
a strenuous effort to bring about re-
form in Charleston, w. Va, and they
surely ought to succeed if there is any
sensibility lett In the Charlestonians.
The unsavory revelations of the past
few months, when one Of their county
commissioners, John s. Mcdonald,
was shown up in such a scandalous
hight, ought to forever disgust them
with the whiskey business. One little
saloon near Charleston, it was shown,
netted In one year $l0,779. 4O-the
money, OF course, being taken from
those who were least able to lose it..
There are 43 saloons In Charleston
and40 in the county outside OF Charles
ton. The county commissioners some
time since declared that they would
grant no licenses outside of the city,
because they had become intolerable
nuisances-yet we reckon they are
not much worse in one place than an
other.

CoaSsees Gave Railroads That
ssa lnpropefly,

NepteDe0taUVc JAueB 4. l<lOyO, -
Missouri, chairman Of the Democratic
national congressional committee, %
March 10. 1903 exposed the fragrant
theft Of the peoples money through
the unfair weighing Of mails when Of
ncial tests were made to determine
what compensation the railroads
should receive. He said:
MIR. Chairman, In delivering my nd.
dress few days since on postal con-
ditions. in discussing the interpreta-
tion Of the law a. to the weighing Of
the mail. I failed to state the law on
the subject. and wish to do so now:
The average weight to be ascer-
tained. 10 every case, by the actual
weighing Of the malls for such a num-
Der Of successive working days. not
lesf than thirty. at such times after
June 50. 1873, and not less frequently
than once in every four years.
Later the time was changed to
ninety days Otherwise the law has
not been changed to this date.
Until Marci. 2, 1907, the depart
ment required the mall to be weighed
for ninety days. Sunday WINS not con
sidered, 70 that the Weighing covered
period Of one hundred and Ave days
instead Of ninety successive days. In
other words. working days were con-
strned to mean week days. Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou changed this IN
depreciation which had been accepted
as correct for over thirty years and
issued the following order as his con-
struction Of the law:
"'That when the weight Of mail IN
taken on railroad routes. the whole
number of days the mails are weighed
shall be, used as divisor for obtain
ing the Average weight per day
This required in effect, that. In
stead of dividing the number Of work
Ing or week days In the weighing
period. the devisor should be the mum
her Of days on which mail wns nctunl-
" carried during the period. II 1t
was weighed one hundred and five
days. the t..visor to obtain the duly
weight was one hundred and five. II
the mall was not carried on Sunday,
the divisOr would he ninety. This, as
you can readily sec. would give less
compensation for carrying tho full
week than for six days, for the ac-
cnmulatctl mail would be practically
the same whether carried In six days
or In seven.
THE present postmaster general,
seeing this predicament. issued another
order OF construction. known as order
412.' Which In ns follows:
"'l'llat WHEN the weight Of null ID
