THE MOTHERS PROBLEM
Of Raising Strong, Healthy Girls.

OA haAsinS StronBs healthy GiFlss
 A serious problem which presents it. self to every mother with girls to raise, In these days. The exigencies of school life, the hurry and routine of everyday duties, the artificial environment of modern civilization, make it more difficult to raise strong, healthy girls than ever in the history of the world.
 Boys raise themselves. Give them room, give them liberty, and they will grow up healthy at least, without much worrying. But the girls present ser ious problem.
 How many mothers there are who are worrying about their daughters. Ner- vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious appetites, bloodless, listless, a constant anxiety to the mother. How shall she solve her problem? To whom shall she turn for help2 Each case is more or less study by itself, and cannot be solved by any general rule.
 This is the way one mother solved the problem. Mrs. Schopfer, 1920 Prescott Ave, St. Louis, Mo-, in letter to Dr. Hartman, says: "My daughter Alice, four years of age, was puny, sickly, ailing child since she was born. was always doctoring her. When we com menced to use Peruna she grew strong and well."
 Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss, R. K. D. 5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, says: "Our little eight-year-old girl had bad cough, and was in general rundown condition." She had several doctors, who could give the child no re- lief, and the mother no encouragement.
 Finally, she got bottle of Peruna and commenced giving 1t to the child, and it proved to be just what she needed. When she commenced taking Peruna the child had to be carried.
 Now the mother says she is playing around all the time.
 Her closing words were: "Yrou have done a great deal for her. She is the only girl we have, and 1t meant lots to us to have her cured"
 These are samples of many letters which Dr. Hartman is receiving, com ing straight from the hearts of loving mothers. While the different schools of medicine are pickering and differing AS to theories and remedies, Peruna goes rightsteadily on giving permanent relief. After all, it is cures that the people want. Theories are of little account.

causes for Tuberculosis.

Walter Sands Mills takes up the question of tuberculosis as a disease that does not attack healthy lungs in persons not predisposed, and is often recovered from, as is shown by at topsies. The causes that predisposi to it aside from heredity are whateve. reduce the vital force and resistance The greatest ravages of the diseasd occur in the prime of life, when all the energies are in use for the strug. gle for existence. Domestic service pre0isposes women more than any other cause; inhalation of mineral and metallic dust, breathing de vitalized air, other lung diseases. traumatism to the lungs, bad habits oI living and unhygienic workshops all predispose to it. Prevention of the disease consists in keeping up the vitality of children and protecting them against nfection.-Medical Rec. ord

PAULHAN WON RACE
DARING FRENCH AVIATOR TRAv- FLED FROM LONDON TO MAN.
 CHESTER IN AERoPLANE.
CAPTURED A PRIZE OF S5O,OOO
The Journey of 1886 Miles Was Made in the Night With Only Two stops Victory of the Frenehmsn Consid- cred Hard Blow to England.

Manchester. April 29.--Louis Paul han, the French aviator, arrived here at 5:30 o'clock winner of the s5O,OOO prize offered by the Daily Mall for flight from London to this city, the dis tance being lS6 miles. Paulhans vic tory over Graham White, the English aviator, is regarded as more severe blow to the prestige of England than the historic flight of that other Branch man. Bleriot, over the channel.
 As Steadily As a Steamer.
 A great crowd awaited him. Man chester first saw the French aviator a few minutes after five o'clock, com ing steadily as a steamer on smooth sea and heading directly for the field he had chosen as landing place. Fly ing at a height of 400 feet, Paulhan came over clump of trees and then, bringing his biplane around with g beautiful curve, landed exactly in the center of the field.
 Greatest Aeroplane Race.
 The start of this greatest ot mod ern aeroplane races was made in London. White had returned there after his first unsuccessful at tempt in which he reached Lichfield. Paulhan, hearing of Whites failure. rushed his machine to the capital and without notifying White, started on the long journey from Hampstead at 5:22 o'clock. White, his machine partially dlsmantled, showed his game ness by starting in his bi-plane at 6:SO from Wormwood Scrubbs.
 White travelled at a great height. He passed over Bletchingloy. IS miles from London 1000 feet in the air. The telegraph and telephone kept London and this city informed of the progress of the aviators. The daring Paulhan took a railroad express train as his pacemaker He passed Ruby at great speed. mere speck in the sky.
 PauIhan Landed at 5:so.
 At o'clock p. m. Paulhan landed al Lichfleld on account of the cold and started again at 4:09 a. m. reaching Manchester at 5.30.
 White came down for the same req son at Northampton and started again at 2:50.
 Both men used Farman bi-planes oi the latest type. The flight was re markable for the great height at which the aviators made their journey.
 Paulhan reached Manchester almost exactly 12 hours from the time hv left London. He was benumbed with cold and thoroughly exhausted when he reached here.

|BRISTOW ON RATES TIE VOTE IN HOUSE
COMMERCE COURT FEATURE or RAILROAD BILL HAS A
 CLOSE CALL.
WAS OPPOSED BY INSURGENTS

Fioht Not Yet Settled as Measure Must Come Up Again on r'nal Vote on BiIl--An Amendment py Madison.
The Mena weekly star., 1910-05-05


 Washington. April 2S.-By the mar row margin of tie vote the house agreed 10 the special commerce court which is to have final jurisdiction Ill all common carrier eases arising under decisions of the interstate commerce commission, except where a consLltu tional question is involved.
 This feature of the pending railroad bill is the one most insisted on Dy President Taft. He has urged It TOT the speedy termination of suits brought by the railroads against rui- ings of the commission in the inter ests of the shippers and to prevent costly and lengthy litigation.
 Fifteen insurgents Voted No.
 Despite assurances given the presi- dent by the insurgent leaders that they were behind him in his legisla- tive program, 15 of them deserted him and came near to sending his cherish ed project to defeat at least temporary in character. They were Norris, Murdock. Nelson, Lindbergh, Volstead, Morse, Cary, Davis, SteenersoH Pickett, Haugen, Gronna, Hubbard, Good and Kendall By uniting with solid Democracy they succeeded in swelling the opposition to the com merce court to 140 votes, number which could be equally only by the Re. publican members supporting the com mittee and the president.
 Will Have Another Chance.
 But the fight for the commerce court has not been won. It will have to lake its chances before the house when the bill comes up for final passage. Hubbard of Iowa, who moved that It be stricken from the railroad bill will carry his fight against the special court to the last ditch and will have the backing of the Democrats. When the bill is reported to the house for passage he will move that it be recon mited to the committee with instruc- tions that the commerce court be elim- mated.
 Upon this motion there will be a record vote Hubbard can rely on the support of the insurgents who were with him, and on the Democrats
 In a full vote of the house it will take 22 Republicans uniting with the Democrats to defeat the commerce court.
 Madison Of Kansas, inserted in the bill an amendment limiting all injunc' tons against compliance with orders of the interstate commerce commis sion to seven days instead of 50 days as carried in the bill It was held that no court should be permitted 10 tie UT | the interstate commerce commission by injunction longer than seven days with a special court on the job to de termine the merits of the case
 Champ Clark, Democratic leader, op posed the court on the ground it was a needless expense and was not need 1 ed. He contended it's main duty was to nullify the provisions of the Sher man antitrust act. With this duty taken from it. the court, he said, would have nothing to do.

kANsAs SENATOR POINTS OUT NEED OF BETTER REeULA-
 TON OF RAILROADS.
ILLUSTRATED TALK WITH MAP
Showed His Colleagues How the ha's roads Discriminate in Favor or ons Community at the Expense or Al" other-Differene in Rates.

Washington April 29.-Senator Brls tow in speaking on the railroad pm told the senate that what this country needs in the matter of railroad resuia' ton is more regulation in the interest of the public and less freedom on the part of the railroad to rob one com munity at the expense of another, ile presented A map of the United States showing several trunk lines or rali- roads and showing two routes rom New York to San Francisco, one via New Orleans and El Paso, the other via Kansas City and Salt Lake.
 Two Transcontinental Routes.
 After showing that the rates on the Southern route are made to compete with water transportation, with no ap. parent regard for distances or cost ol transportation, he showed that 1t costs s3 a hundred for wooden fabrics from New York to San Francisco and $5.So to Tucson, Ariz., 56s miles nearer New York, though the San Francisco ship ment must pass through Tucson.
 Taking the route through Kansas City as an example and using the rates on woolen fabrics as basis, Brlsto" said:
 q now call the senate's attention to another route between New York and San Francisco. Suppose, instead of shipping these wooden fabrics by way of New Orleans and Fl Paso, that they are shipped by way of St. Louis, Den yer and Salt Lake City. The rate from New York to St Louisa distance ot 1,065 miles-is SS cents a hundred; from New York to Denever-l ,93O miles, or S65 miles farther than st. Louis-the rate is $2.73 hundred s1.S5 more for hauling the additional distance of S65 miles The rate to Salt Lake City-512 miles beyond Den ver-is $3.53 a hundred, or so cents a hundred more than the Denver rate: and to San Francisco-749 miles farth- er-it is S3, or 53 cents less than to Salt Lake, an intermediate point
 A Difference in Rates.
 Now, I desire specially to invite the attention of the senate to the differ snee in the rate from New York to Denver-1, ,9S0 miles--of $2-7S hun dred. and that from New York to El Paso--2.S10 miles-which is $2.47; that is, the rate to Denver, 3S0 miles shorter distance, is 26 cents more than to Fl Paso. There is no water com petition in either case, and no other kind of competition or different condi- tions that could be given as an ex. cnse for this discrimination.

Why We Do Il

Electricity in the home is rap
idly becoming universal. The
low rate now in effect places cleo
trio lighting within the reach of
every family of moderate means.
The only reason why every
family does not use electricity is
because many houses are not
wired and equipped for the serv-
ice.
The success of our business
depends upon selling the largest
possible output at the lowest pos
sible price.
Therefore, we are willing to
cooperate with the citizens in
equipping their homes for electric
lighting, and to help them bear
the cost of installation.
We have made arrangements
to wipe out all contractors pro-
fits and some of the other expense
by simply paying for these costs
ourselves. The difference is a
gift to every householder who ac-
cepts our special proposition.
No agreement OF any kind
