We know of no other medicine which
has been so successful in relieving the
suffering of women, or received so many
genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In nearly every community you will
find women who have been restored to
health by this famous medicine. Almost
every woman you meet knows Of the
great good it has been doing among
suffering women for the past 80 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health, in which many openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia

many of them state that it has saved
them from surgical operations.

SKIRTS WITH PISTOL POCKETS
Favored by National Convention of
Ladies' TailOrs. Stingy Men Want
Them to Remain Skin Tight.

Them TO Remain Skin I1ght.
NEW Y0RK.-The much mooted
question of the proper fit for women's
skirts was a feature of discussion at
the National Ladies Tailors and
Dressmakers' Convention, which be-
gan here today with delegates pres
ent from all parts of the country.
It appeared a general opinion that
narrow lines would continue to hold
popular, with the trouser effect still
a favorite among the ultra-fashiona-
BILE. The New York delegates were
firm for skirts yard around while
Chicago representatives insisted up
on a little more leeway-a yard and
quarter with two slashes, one at
the front and one at the back.
Louisiana delegates were the most
conservative, sticking for a two-yard
skirt, no slashes and shirtwaists in
stead of a three-piece suit.
The pistol pocket was an innova-
ton. credited to Chicago tailors, and
seemed to be generally accepted as q
good idea. One or two patch pockets
were suggested, and if women did
not care for the pistol they might
carry their powder puff in one and
the purse in the other

TWO RODDENBERY BILLS
REINTRODUCED MEASURE TO
PREVENT SELLING FUTURES.
Would Also Have One Cent Postage
On Drop Letters, Including Those
for Delivery on Rural Routes.

On Drop Letters, Including Those
for Delivery on Rural Routes.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congress-
man Roddenbery, of Georgia, reopen
ed his fight in congress this week to
suppress the gambling in cotton flu
lures and on other agricultural pro-
ducts by reintroducing the measure
which he pushed through the House
at the last regular session. Though
Mr.. Roddenbery does not believe
there is an especially good chance to
pass the bill at the extra sessinn, he
wants it ready for an opportunity.
His main hope, though, is that the
measure will be considered by the Ju-
dietary Committee and made ready
to report to the House at the begin
ming of the regular session.
Another bill which Mr.. Rodden
berry has reintroduced is one provid-
ing one cent postage on drop letters,
including those which will be deliver
ed on rural routes from the point of
origin. He thinks one cent postage
throughout the country can gradual
ly be brought about by reducing the
rate to nearby points and then ex-
tending the reduction as far as may
be practicable.
The bill to prohibit gambling in
crop futures provides that it shall be
unlawful for any person to send a
message authorizing the purchase of
cotton, grain, etc, at any future time
unless that person intends to act
ually buy the amount of the COM
modify asked for. The bill provides
that the payment of margin shall
constitute prima facie evidence that
the law has been violated. 1t is pro-
vided also that the buyer must make
affidavit to the sender of the message
that he intends to pay for the COM
modify ordered The sender of the
message is likewise liable if the pur-
chaser goes wrong. Penalties are
provided for false affidavits and for
other violations of the act.

HOKE SMITHS BILL PASSED
Would Create a Commission of Nine
Experts, Without Pay, to Study
Vocational School Question.

WASHINGTON.-A step toward
solving the question of governmental
aid to the founding of vocational ed
ucational schools was taken by the
senate today through the passage of
Senator Smiths bill providing for a
commission of nine experts to study
the question and report to the next
session of congress.
The bill is expected temporarily to
halt action on the various vocational
school bills now before congress and
which have been the subject of much
discussion. The commissioners would
be appointed by the president to
serve without pay.

alton will be made of Victorialand,
which is supposed to contain great
copper deposits. Visits will be paid
to the blonde Eskimos on the main
land. There is a tradition among the
continental Eskimos that Victoria
land, about which little is known, IS
inhabited by Eskimo tribes.
A Familiar Country.
Stefansson and Anderson are thor
oughIy familiar with the country be-
tween Point Barrow, Alaska, and a
point far to the east of the Mac
Kenzie river. that having been the
scene of their earlier explorations,
In their former journeys they were
separated most of the time, and each
man lived alone, except as they fell
in with bands of Eskimos. Stefans-
son says there is no fear of starva-
ton. for there is plenty of fish and
game in the north. Except for some
dainties, which the ship will carry,
the party will subsist as the Eskimos
DION flesh OF wild animals with a
few berries in the summer. Both |
Stefansson and Anderson speak the
Eskimo tongues. They know all the
Eskimos upon a long stretch of coast
and will obtain dogs from them.

The Case of Sam C

Sam Mccall is an ex-slave seventy
hve years of age, who has been dis
covered in Wilcox county by some Of
the experts OF the government de-
partment OF agriculture, and he is be-
coming very widely celebrated sim
ply because he has exercised common
sense-the same sort Of common
sense the government agriculturalists
have been intoxicating among farm
ers Of the county generally.
Sam Mccall started Immediately
after the war with forty acres he
bought from his former master; then
bought nor land. until he owned
1853 acres. He grew cotton and corn
for fifteen years, scattering his eff
forts ver the best bits OF land he
had. Then he concluded that. as he
did all his own work, II would pay
him to concentrate. Therefore, he
selected two acres OF land near his
cabin and for the last twenty-one
years has worked this small area
He had observed that land with the
largest content OF organic matter was
the most productive. He began
hauling leaves to his land. He al
ways plowed under the cotton and
corn stalks and refuse OF all sorts
never burning anything as is the
common practice in the South. With
the Increase OF organic content-de-
caying vegetable matter-came In
creased fertility and production. BY
1898 the soil had become so rich that
seven bales OF cotton we're produced
on two acres. The average produc-
ton In the South is one-third OF o
bale per acre.
With a system Of crop rotation Nc
Call kept his land at high fertility
and Is now a national figure becaus'
he used common sense.-Mobile Reg

SPIRITUALISM AS A SCIENCE
Noted Writer Explains Why In HE
Opinion the Growing Cult Should
Be So Considered.

I call spiritualism a science, for 1t
protested to yield its results by expert
ments which could be repeated, tested
and compared on the accepted laws of
evidence; to attain "a world of spirit
that took shape and form and practical
intelligibility, In ordinary rooms and
under very nearly ordinary circum-
stances" 1t said: Seeing Is believ-
Ing, handling Is proof" 1t did not re-
quire you to take the medium on trust.
1t had no priesthood, no dogmas; for
Its central statement. that the living
could have intercourse with the dead,
was not a truth to be received on the
word Of another, but a challenge which
whose would might verify. Moreover,
though some have questioned If the
name Of religion can rightly be at
tached to ~spiritualism, 1t does without
doubt bring its adopts back from
doctrines of the lectureroom or alb
stract theory to that primitive condi-
ton of thought in which religion finds
a main beginning, For religion Is the
problem Of the next world" call it
how you will. And spiritualism un-
dertakes to solve the problem by the
scientific method, exactly as the chem
list W our inquiry-for instance:
Does radium exist by putting a
sample of the thing sought into our
hands. Neither the chemist mol the
medium Is a priest. any more than the
class or the inquirer can be termed
disciples. Experiment, in both cases,

Lifting q Ton.

There Is much good sense in tn
plea made by Prof. Joe Cook, OF tn
Mississippi Normal College, In a re
cent bulletin Of the Bureau of Ed,
cation, for more efficiency in tn,
country home and elimination o
needless farm drudgery.
For $3.50, he claims, an isolate,
farm can install Its own waterworks
lifting from the shoulders of the We
men and children the need of carry
ing the water for household pur
poses, and often for watering stool
as well. That. this amounts to a ser
ious burden on the strength of frai
women and young girls and boys, nc
demonstrates by a calculation which
gives a ton a day as the quantit,
which an average household will use
when the washing Is done at home,
He shows how wasteful the present
methods are, since the water used II
the kitchen Is often lifted six times
In the course OF Its use.
THE lifting Of a ton a day will
take the elasticity out Of a woman's
step. the bloom out OF her cheek, and
the enjoyment from her SOUL" ne
Justly contends.
This Is only n OF the ways In
which modern invention may be
made to tighten the toll OF women,
and especially of farmers wives, the
hardest working class OF women. But
It is one OF the most necessary, and
II Is one which many a farmer, well
able to AFFORD 1t, has not thought
about as a possibility.
Electric lighting, heating and
cooking, gas stoves, modern equip.
ment for washing and ironing have
all helped the city housewife to dis.
pense with servants and live without
drudgery. Some OF the aids to house
hold which she a command hel
country sister cannot yet have; but
others might be given her by a small

addition to the running expenses
