These comments we're made:
Senator Penrose pa, Republican:
1.-THE President has employed such die
tatorial METHODS and has almost with
out exception expressed his determined
opinion upon all legislation even when
he has changed his mind completely
from views expressed in previous ut
terances that considerable surprise was
expressed among those that heard him
that there is at least one public ques-
ton. and that Of overwhelming i'm
portancc. on which he actually has no
opinion at all: that is the question OF
public ownership or control of rail-
roads. At least in this matter he is
courteous enough to invite the opinion
OF the Senators and Representatives,
and he will doubtless hear from them
and from the American people upon
Government ownership in unmistak-
able terms after. the Railroad Com
mittee has had full power to investi-
gate the orders and methods under
which the railroad systems OF the
country have been nearly ruined and
certainly dcmoralized.'

TELLS PITIABLE
TALE OF WANT
AND PRVATION
Mississippi Minister for Twelve
Years Had Eaten Hardly
Enough to Keep Body
and Sout Intact.

Rome, Miss, April 25.-The Rev
R. B. Longford, D. D., a well-konwn
minister of this city, recounts a de-
plorable tale Of privation and mis-
cry. For twelve years he had been
able to eat little of nothing and fell
in weight from 1870 to 1876 pounds,
owing to lack of proper assimilation
of organic iron.
After having tried many remedies
without any apparent relief, he was
induced by friend to try Acid Iron
Mineral. After the second bottle, he
reports he was entirely relieved. He
yesterday said: 81 take great pleas
ure in recommending Aim for both
Indigestion and pellagra. I suffered
from both these diseases for many
years, and am well on the road to re-
covery. / can now eat anything !
like without any sign of Indigestion
whatever.
What DR.. Langford has to say of
AIM is mere repetition of that cited
by many thousands of individuals
throughout the United States, who,
during the past thirty years, have
used this natural iron mineral water
with marked success, and many of
whom have frequently reported COM
plete recovery after having tried
every conceivable remedy on the mar
ket.
While its cost is a mere trife, the
distributors Of this marvellous remedy,
the Ferrodine Chemical Corporation,
are so confident of lrs success that
they unqualifedly guarantee it to do
what is claimed for it, or your drug
gist will promptly refund its pur-
chase price.
Aim is IN no sense q patent med
icine or secret remedy. 1t is a nat
ural mineral water, containing all the
health producing tissue-and-blood
building properties Of a purely orr
ganic iron. Messrs. Froehling & Rob
ertson, the well-known chemists Of
rtat,s..o,,a u. after a 4bornu0h an
alysis of this product, officially GER
tify that the following ingredients
compose AIM:

Artillery Of all caliber was trained on
the forts, but 1t was the 21.centimeter
mortars and the AIS which performed
the real work.
From distance the 42-centlmeter
projectiles were heard to arrive, to the
accompaniment of a fearful kissing
that sounded like a long drawn-out
screech which filled the whole at

thing was destroyed within radius

pressure which the bursting Of the pro-

made breathing difficult for those OF

tors. The Zeppelins came nearer.
