road engineer to a place on the COM
mission. Wood is the only one of the
three that has had any railroad expe-
rience. He was connected with a rail-
road in an official capacity for some
time The other two are lawyers. When
Marshall made his campaign he told
in his speeches how he would re-
organize the commission so as to have
on the board one member who would
know something about railroads, and
he believed an engineer the most de-
sirable, because is required to know
more about the proper construction and
maintenance of track and Of cars and
engines than a man in any other part
of the railroad service.

The governor says now. however.
that Commissioner Wood is the oldest
member of the commission and the only
one that has been a member long
enough to be on to the whole bust
ness of the commission. For this rea-
son. he says, he regards it as doubt
full whether it would be wise to re-
move him and put in his place man

tain Wood in his present position. 1t
is said that there are not less than

During the campaign report reach
ed Marshall that Commissioner Wood
had made the statement in a club at
Evansville that it would be a calamity
to elect Marshall governor. and it was
said that he supported Watson as

BUILDINGS
VIEW OF THE NATIONAL CON-
TRACTOR AND BUILDER OF NEW
YORK ON REINFORCED CON-
CRETE BUILDINGS.

The following is from the National
Contractor and Builder of New York:
In recent interview given by
James Knox Taylor, supervising archi-
tect of the treasury department, re-
ferring to the dangers i nthe use of
reinforced concrete construction, said:
1 would favor the further use of re-
inforced concrete in the construction
of government buildings if it were
possible for us to get sufficient num-
Der of expert superintendent to take
charge of the work. 1t requires care
full and expert watching. l am afraid
that we shall always encounter, or
for a long time at least. the same diff
ficulty that we find now in its use,
namely, that while we can easily get
Superintendents, we cannot get a large
enough number of them who are high
ly trained in the use of concrete.
There is too niue ndanger IN the in
discriminate use of concrete TO per
NIT us to tryStO make it a common
material in the construction of gov
eminent buildings, unless, or until,
this danger can be in some way eli
minated Mr.. Taylor is the highest
functionary in the United States gov
eminent as far as building coastruc-
ton is concerned. and his opinion is
of great value. In this case it is
simply a Teiteration of what so many
experts have contended.
Reinforced concrete is a most at
tractiVe-made construction theoretl-
cally, and splendid results have been
attained-from laboratory tests. But
it is so variable a quantity, and is
so susceptible to fluctuations in its
handling. that, spite of the arguments
of its votaries. the gentlemen who
have cement to sell. it is the most
unsafe medium of construction known.
All other materials are completed ana
can be subjected to tests, and are, in
a degree, tested in ha.Nlling before
being brought upon a building, while
reinforced concrete can only be tested
after the structure is completed, when
it is usually too late to remedy the
sefect. The large number of con-
crete collapses further illustrates this
point. Another government officer
Engineer Humphrey, of the geological
survey, (whO, by the way. is also pres
ident of the cement organization

of an anaesthetic. His good name
and reputation demands the testimony
OF those who knew him.
Many Of us have known DR.. Alex
ander for twenty-five years and more
as a resident Of Mariana, for many
years we knew him intimately and
well. He was OutSpoken against

was honorable. heightened, courteous.
He was an advocate of good. a con-

Loss of appetite, pimples and other eruptions,
bad complexion, languor and lassitude, mental
and physical WEAKNESS, so common at this time
of year, are all indications that the blood is
wanting in the power to defend the body, be-
cause they all indications that it needs cleans
ing, enriching and vitalizing.
The medicine to take is Hoods Sarsaparilla,
according to the experience and testimony of
thousands of people every spring.
Hoods Sarsapsrilla makes the blood of the
right quality and quantity,-nomal in red and
white eorpuscles and all other constituents.
It cures all humors, catarrh and rheumatism,
relieves that tired feeling restores the appetite,
cures paleness, weakness, nervousness, and builds
up the whole system.
1t will make you feel better, look better, eat
and sleep better, and give you the best protection
possible against all infectious and contagious
diseases.

Sarsaparills can be had, and I write this letter
to thank you for it. My experience may help
