The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1909-07-16

r HE United States senate-pay,
i maintenance, odds and ends
costs about 81, 900, 900 a year To be
exact, the amount was 81, 1853, 1877,
according to the last report rendered
by Charles G. Bennett, secretary of
the senate. The latter sum figures to
$19,500 each per each of go senators.
The money goes for a thousand and
n things that classify between sal
aries and snuff. Compensation and
mileage of senators, notably the mile
age, requires a tidy sum. Pages, mes
sengers, special police, clerks, private
secretaries, minor senate officers, the
senatorial army of retainers use up
another large lump. Repairs, new
furniture, the senate library, the sem
ate stable, stationery and newspapers,
the expense accounts of senate ennis
saries, the cost of the upkeep and ex-
pense of special committees, report
ing senate debates and committee
meetings, all form just a few of the
other varieties through which the
spare change of the senate flows in a
steady stream.

Bromwell, the official major domO Of
the White House under the Roosevelt
regime, and his wife at theater par

Gardiner, Mel was a great suf-
ferer from a female disease. The doc
tor said I would have to go to the
hospital for an operation, but Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound COM
pletely cured me in three months. -
MRS. S. A. WILLIAMS, r. F. d. No. IA,
Box SO, Gardiner Me.
Because your case is a difficult one,
doctors having done you no good,
do not continue to suffer without
giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial. 1t surely has cured
many cases of female ills, such as in
flammation, liberation, displacements,
fibroid tumors, Irregularities, periodic
pains, backache, that bearing-down
feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner-
vous prostration. It costs but a trife
to try it, and the result is worth mil
lions to many suffering women.

New Successful White House Hostess

became Ill she abandoned her own
social programme in Cincinnati and
remained in Washington. This made
it possible for Mrs. Taft to carry out
the remainder of the entertainments
which had already been scheduled,
and Mrs. More took her place as
hostess at. several official dinner par.
ties which Mrs. Taft had planned
earlier in the season Mrs. More won
admiration by the grace with which
she fitted into the position of a White
House hostess.
Mrs. Taft's first social season as
mistress of the White House was a
brilliant success in spite of the ner-
vous trouble which necessitated her
withdrawal. Never in the history of
generations has there been so much
social activity at the White House, and
never has society been more diplo-
matically and pleasantly brought to-
gether. Persons who had not been in
the White House for many months,
and some for several years, were
again welcomed and h%obnobbed with
each other to an extent hard to be.
