Congress Hall, Philadelphia.

tee from the Philadelphia chapter o.
the American Institute of Architects
has been collecting the necessary data
from which to base the proposed res
toration. The architects literally have
had to feel their way. They have con
suited historians, old magazines and
even an old caricature which contains
the only known view Of the interior OF
the house Of representatives. Walls
and partitions have been torn down
partially in the hope of gaining knowl-
edge as to their original construction,
but there have been so many changes
that the work has been gigantic puz-
zle. The architects, however, believe
that now they possess data from which
It will be possible to reconstruct the
interior of the building as 1t was when
Washington was president.
Back in 1852 Pennsylvania, then a
province, acquired the land for the pur-
pose Of erecting there building in
which to hold courts. Not till 1885,
after Pennsylvania had become a
state, was money appropriated for the
erection of building, but the actual
work was not begun till later date.
In 1887 the lot was enlarged and con-
victs were put to work excavating The
building was completed in March, 1883.
While the building was in course Of
nf ho a
seat of national government came up.
New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia
were bidders and the latter city strong
ly laid before congress the advantages
of the new building. With this end in
view the building was completed, not
as intended with rooms for courts and
civil officers, but with one general
room occupying the entire ground floor
for the house Of representatives, and
on the second floor a senate chamber
and rooms for the vice-president and
other officers.
Congress moved to Philadelphia in
1890 and occupied the building, since
known as Congress hall, for the next
ten years, when the capital was re
moved to Washington.
After the removal Of congress the
building for many years was used as q
court building, for the district court
of Pennsylvania and the court Of com
mon pleas. The last court was re
moved from the building In 1895 and
for few years thereafter it was occu
pied by part Of the law school Of the
University of Pennsylvania.
The exterior of the building will mo-
need to undergo much change to re
store 1t to what 1t was In the days o.
Washington. After the changes are
made In the interior 1t will be pre-
served purely as a historic place o
national interest.

SAUERKRAUT LONGEVITY AID
Rev. Flynn of California Makes Some
Peppery Remarks on Diet and
Fat-Two Meals Enough.

Cincinnati.-"Any man who is so
fat that he cannot see his feet while
walking, ought to be arrested" said
the Rev. Earl Flynn Of Berkeley, Cal,
to Y. M. C. A. audience the other
day. 1.-TWO meals day are enough
for the average person to eat and
remain in a healthy condition. The
persou who eats three meals a day
needs 12 hours sleep to refresh him
self"
Mr.. Flynn, who is rs years old, con-
tinued:
The food which collects the long
evity germ Is sauerkraut. The man
or woman who keeps on diet OF this
kind, ought to live century or more.
Sauerkraut is very nutritious and
should be on the table Of everybody" +"
Continuing his health talk, Mr.,
Flynn wound up with saying: ITO be
healthy every minister must sweat
twice week. A good many minis.
ters only sweat once month, when
they draw their salaries

located at Sixth and Chestnut streets,
and for the erection Of memorial
lamps in independence square.
The first Of the more recent attempts
to restore the historic structure was
made in 1893 by the Colonial Danes,
who spent great deal of time and
considerable money to place the old
senate chamber in the hall in approx
mately the same condition 1t was in a
century before. The work was COM
pleted and reception held to com
memorate the work in 1895. And that
ended all work on the old building for
another decade.
About eight or nine years ago an-
other piece of restoration was under
taken. The entrance on Sixth street
was bricked up to make the exterior of
the building coincide with its earlier
design. This patriotic work was not
without its comic aspect, for in brick
ing up the entrance the stairway lead
ing to the restored senate chamber
was cut off and since 1902 access to
the historic chamber has been barred
to all.
Since that time there has been a
continual hue and cry to have the old
building restored to Its pristine condi-
ton as far as possible and a commit

This is the age of substitution, and
women who want a cure should insist
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound just as this woman did, and
not ACCEPT something else on which the
druggist cal make a little more profit.
Women who are passing through this
critical period or who are suffering
from any of those distressing ills pc
culiar to their sex should not lose sight
of the fact that for thirty years Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
which is made from roots and herbs,

cots With Curacao.

Banana ice cream has quite fes.
tive appearance when served In sher-
bet glasses and decorated with frosted
slices Of bananas and preserved cher.
ries, which should be stoned and en-,
tirely freed from superfluous Juice
To frost the bananas. dip the slices
into thin white icing similar to a
cake frosting. The slices should be
merely glazed and not heavily coated.
II 1t Is inconvenient to frost the ban.
anas the slices may be used plain.
Snowballs Of ice cream are very at.
traotive when served with snowballs
Of cake on q wintry night when real
snow is flying out of doors. To pre-.
pare the cake. cut out rounds of white
lady cake. free 1t from crust and dip
1t into cocoanut frosting. II little
cocoanut IL sprinkled over the ice
cream balls the two will look so much
alike that one can hardly tell the diff
ference.
A famous chef served apricots with
Curacao. Remove the Juice from q
pint can OF apricots. Add a table
spoonful OF sugar and the rind' Of an
orange to the juice. Let 1t boil ten
minutes; then remove the rind Stir
in two tablespoonfuls of Curacao and
pour II over the fruit. Serve when
cold.
