POSTAL DOES NOT FEAR
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
Says Competition Will Prevent
U. S. Acquiring Lines.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Clarence II.
Mackay being asked in regard to the
proposition of Postmaster General
Hitchcock that the government take
over all the telegraph lines said
"Tbis would lead to taking over the
telephone lines, also. The British gov
ernment found this to be SO and two
weeks ago it took over the telephone
lines in England al an enormous ex-
pense. The telegraph and telephone
lines in this country are worth from
~, 900, 600, 600 to $1,000 100000. This would
include the independent telephone COM
panies owning nearly s5oO0oo,00O of
property and having some 45o,o0e
stockholders. Moreover. the govern
nent would then be employing hun
dreds of thousands of clerks. telephone
siris, telegraph operators, managers,
etc 1t would be colossal political
machine.
II have reason for saying that taking
over the telegraph lines would mean
also taking over the telephone lines.
Are you aware of what Is going on at
the present time? Western Union
Offices are being closed by the Bell
Telephone Company and the telegraph
service incorporated with the telephone
service.
Competition between the telegraph
and long distance telephone is elm

Bad Teeth Go with Good Brains.

An English scientist has pointed out
that there are signs of steady de-
generacy in two sets of organs vital to
the well being of the human race, and
the fall is most marked among the
western nations. The evidence is that,
coincident with the mental advance Of
man, there has been diminution in
the provision of teeth. In the ape,
the negro, and the white man, brain
and teeth are inversely proportional
to efficiency. Increase Of cunning has
reduced the work of the teeth, and the
demand Of the brain for blood has
starved the former; disorders Of di-
gestion show that the balance is .un-
satisfactory.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women ara. beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev.
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air Of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti.
patton or indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
combination Of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
its effect, Strengthening the muscles
Of stomach and bowels SO that after
= short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tions without assistance.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere In soc and
$1.00 bottles. II you have never tried
1t, write for a sample to DR.. w. B.
Caldwell, POI Washington St., Month
cello, ILL.,; he will gladly send trial
bottle without any expense to you
whatever.
