CARNE0IEE DENoUNCEs K STRENGTHENING OF NAMES

New York, Mar. 24.--The growing tendency towards bigger and more formidab ble navies shown by the lead ing nations of Europe and now by the United States, was denounced tonight by Andrew Carnegie at the Interna- tfonal Peace Festival, held at Carnegie Hall, under the auspices of the Peace Society of the City of New York.
 a- Never before in the history of the world." said MT. Carnegie, have the leading powers been engaged in hast ening the construction of engines of destruction to the extent that they are now.
 "A short time ago, England had a navy which was estimated as being i've times more powerful than that of Germany. In order to remain the un- challenged mistress of the seas, all she had to do was to avoid increasing size and armament of vessels Strange to say. a cabinet was found which ap- proved what amounted to resolution in naval armaments and at once reduced to comparative worthlessness the four hundred efiicient warships then constituting the British navy With the building of British Dread naughts' came the building of German

Taft raboos Noon Luncheon.

New 1OTk EVcnl0R EOBL.
 The White House luncheon, which was an institution during the Admin istratio of President Roosevelt, will be a thing of the past for four years, and maybe eight. President Roosevelt had as his guests at luncheon more people first and last than were enter tained at that meal by any dozen of his predecessors, if tradition and his- tory are to be credited.
 Time was when 1t was a distinction conferred upon a man for life [" be asked to take luncheon at the White House. But Mir. Roosevelt cn...esu all that It is certain that President Taft will have none of this. The req son is an excellent one-He never eats luncheon.

 They do say that gluten biscuit Is the only bread partaken of by him when he eats at home. Of course he has not been able to dictate his menu with much care during the last few months, since he has been the honor guest at banQuets in many cities and States, But 1t Is perfectly safe to say that alligator steak and 'possum will form 10 part of the regul0F bill of fare at the White House firing the Taft regime.
 And there will be no luncheons. so far as the head of the family Is con- cerned.

WANT RECORD VOTES
REPUBs OPPOSE CERTAIN CLAUSES
 IN PAYNE BILL.
Record Votes Are Desired On Sched- ules Of New Tariff Bil Which Affects Hides, Bttunninous
 Coal and LumbeR.

Washington, March 24.---An effort is to be made in the House to obtain rec ord votes on the sch edules of the new tarin bill which affect hides. bitumi- nous coal and lumber.
 The Republican members, who, are opposed to the changes which the Payne bill makes in these schedules, have had several meetings. They be- lieve that the placing of hides on the free list. the reduction of 50 per cent. in the duties on lumber and the recip- rocity provision for free bituminous coal, are not desired by a majority of the members.
 There are probably as many members who want a vote on the proposition to place lumber on the free list as there are members who desired to test the feeling regarding the retention of the present lumber duty. The latter senti- ment is particularly on the Democratic side. Those who desire the present du- ty of 67 cents per ton on bituminous coal retained. declare the placing of this article on Hthe free list will not reduce the price to the consumer.
 They attack the reciprocity provision in the Payne bill which declares that bituminous coal shall only be admit ted free when imported from any country which imposes no tax or duty upon coal imported from the United States. The argument presented is that this arrangement would permit the en- try of coal free of duty from Canada should that country repeal it's import duty on coal. .s
 In the latter events. it is contended the American coal dealers of Pennsy1- vania and Ohio. who now control large Canadian market. would add to their pockets the amount of the duty, repealed by Canada. The British Co., lumbia coal, which would come in free of duty, it is said, would compete with the great quantity of coal from the American governments coal lands in several Western State4, reducing the price the government receives for this coal | aSas

hams Vegetable Compound is the most successful remedy for all kinds of female troubles, and I feel that l can never praise it enough. "-MRs. LIZZIE HOLLAND, Noah, Ky.
 The Changeof Life is the emostcrfttcal period of a woman's existence, and neglect of health at this time invites disease and pain.
 Womeneverywhere should remember that there is no other remedy known to medicine that will so successfully carry women through this trying period as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound, made from native roots and herbs.
 For 30 years 1t has been curing women from the worst forms of female alls inflammation, ulcera ton, dis placements, fibroid tumors, irregulari- ties, periodic pains, backache, and nervous prostration.
 If you would like special advice about your case write a confiden- fsal letter to Mrs. Ptnkham, at %Iynn, Mass. Her advice is frees and always helpful.
