THE LAW AS TO WAR CLAIMS.
Important that Evidence lie isut in
Permanent Form.

Washington, May 10-Congress re-
Gently enacted, as one section Of the
new judicial code, a provision that
n court Of claims shall determine
the claims Of all persons whose prop
erty was taken subsequent to June /,
1865, when hostllities ceased
throughout the South, where the
property was sold and where the net
proceeds were placed in the United
States Treasury. BY another section
at the end of the code, the whole
judicial code takes effect January 1,
1912.
% The great age Of almost all per
sons having sufficient knowledge of
the facts In these cases to permit
them to give intelligent testimony in
regard thereto, makes 1t very import
ant that the evidence be taken and
perpetuated at the earliest practical
Bile date. With this in view, the
Court Of Claims has been asked to
proceed with these cases under an
existing statute known as the Tucker
act until the new law goes into effect.
The government. however, strenuous
~ opposes this proceeding. The as
sistant attorney general has submit
ted printed briefs going to 1870 pages
In length, and in addition William II.
Lamar, special attorney for the Uni
ted States, has argued in opposition
to 1t. The claimants have argued by
their counsel, VIM. b. King and Sar-
geant Prentiss Knut, that the needs
OF justice require the testimony to be
taken ct the earliest practicable date.
A decision will probably be handed
down by the court before it adiourns
for the summer.

HiV6n s rfNxHxM the experience with
an organism unified for the trial of
strength, and when the strain Is over
her system has received a shock from
which it Is hard to cover Follow,
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain Of caring for the child, and a
distinct change in the mother results.
There Is nothing more charming than
q happy and healthy mother of chill
dren, and indeed childbirth under right
conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence Of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
from an unprepared condition, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
1t isn't rs though the experience
came upon them unawares. They have
ample time in which to prepare, but
they, for the most part, trust to chance
and pay the penalty.
In many homes once childless there
are now children because of the fact
that Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound makes women normal,
healthy, and strong.
Any woman who would like
special advice in regard to this
matter is cordially invited to
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass. Her letter will be held in
strict confidence.
