COMMITTEE RACK FOR PUBLISHERS

Congressmen Demand Charges Against the Mail Service Be Proved.

HITCHCOCK IN A DENIAL

CHAIRMAN WILDER INTERRUPTS THE MAGAZINE MEN AT THE HOUSE HEARING GORE WANTS A PROBE MADE.

Washington, D. C, Jan. 28. The periodical publishers must make good on their general allegations that the postoffice officials are inefficient and that their figures on the cost of handling second-class mail are all wrong. Postmaster General Hitchcock has denied both charges. Committee Chairman Weeks proposes to put the publishers on the .rack and make them prove their statements. His remarks to this effect were addressed at the postoffice hearing yesterday, to George W. Wilder, president of the Butterick Publishing company, who was continuing his argument against increasing the postage rate on magazines. "Your statement is going all over he country," said Mr. Weeks to Mr. Wilder, "that the administration of the department is inefficient." Weeks Demands to Be Shown. Mr. Wilder offered to strike this remark from the record, but Mr. Weeks refused permission. "Give your reasons for such a statement," he demanded. Second Assistant Postmaster General Stewart took the position that Mr. Wilder could not prove his assertion that the figures of the postoffice department are $61,000,000 out of the way. He declared the department could prove the correctness of its figures. Thereupon Mr. Weeks made It plain to Mr. Wilder that the latter must "make good." Cyrus Curtis, president of the Curtis Publishing company, was called to task for basing a serious criticism of the postoffice department upon what he termed "the general impression." Mr. Curtis had asserted that the postal deficit was due to the political tenure of the postmaster general. "General Impression don't go here," declared Mr. Weeks emphatically. "We want concrete facts. I am receiving 500 letters a day charging that the government is paying exorbitant rates to railroads for carrying the mail. Is this so? The committee will remain in session indefinitely if it can find this out." Favors Director of Posts. Mr. Curtis said he favored a director of posts, such as was recommended by the postal commission, and Mr. Wilder also declared for placing a business man at the head of the department "a man whose tenure would not depend upon politics." Mr. Wilder declared the inefficiency alleged by him was due to the payment by the department of inadequate salaries, to alleged participation by the department in politics, and to the tenure of office, which is so short, he declared, that the officials are unable to thoroughly acquaint themselves with the department's work. Mr. Fassett of New York, a member of the committee, resented the interference that the department has been without the services of competent business men. He cited John Wanamaker and George Cortelyou as illustrations of the highest type of business men who have devoted their best efforts to the government's postal business. Mr. Wilder gave this advice to the committee: "Get a man to run the

AFTER FOURYEARS OP MISERY Cured by Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound Baltimore, McL "For four years my life was a misery to me. I suffered

irom irregularities, terrible dragging sensations, extreme nervousness, and that all gone feeling in my stomach. I had given up hope of ever being well when I began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Then I felt as though new life had been

given me, and I am recommending it to all my friends." Mrs. W. S. Ford, 207 W. Franklin St., Baltimore, Md. The most successful remedy in this country for the cure of all forms of female complaints is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It has stood the test of years and to-day is more widely and successfully used than any other female remedy. It has cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, and nervous prostration, after all other means had failed. If yon are suffering from any of these ailments, dont give up hope until you have given Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. If you would like special advice write to Mrs. IMnkham, Lynn, Mass, for it. She has guided thousands to health, free of char re.

Stomach Dead Nan Still Lives People who suffer from sour stomach, fermentation of food, distress after eating and indigestion, and seek relief in large chunks of artificial digestors, are killing their stomachs by inaction just as surely as the victim of morphine is deadening and injuring beyond repair every nerve in his body. What the stomach of every sufferer from indigestion needs is a good prescription that will build up his stomach put strength, energy and elasticity into it, and make it sturdy enough to digest a hearty meal without artificial aid. The best prescription for Indigestion ever written is sold by druggists everywhere, and by L. H. Fihe, and is rigidly guaranteed to build up the stomach and cure indigestion, or money back. This prescription is named Mi-o-na, and is sold in small tablet form in large boxes for only 50 cents. Remember the name, Mi-o-na stomach tablets. They never fail. They contain ingredients that give quick relief (other than strong digesters), but they are compounded for the purpose of making the stomach strong and energetic enough to do its work without the aid of harmful drugs.

Senator Gore Moves in Senate. Senator Gore of Oklahoma wants to know about the cost of transporting periodicals. He introduced a resolution in the senate calling on the postoffice committee for investigation, and directing that a report be made to the senate. Consideration of the resolution went over. The resolution asks that the committee ascertain the comparative cost of the transportation of second class matter by mail, express, and fast freight; the comparative rates paid by the United States government and by express companies to the principal railroad companies for similar service in the transportation of second class matter; the comparative postal rates for the transportation of periodicals in the United States, Canada, and other foreign countries; and the comparative rates for transportation of the several classes of mail by the governments of the United States, Canada, France, Great Britain and Germany.

CASE STRAHGE ONE

(Palladium Special) Eaton, O, Jan. 28. One of the strangest cases ever before the county medical fraternity is the one which has been occasioned by an accident that befell Francis Craig, farmer, living southwest of Eaton, several days ago. While hauling wood, Craig fell from a wagon and was rendered unconscious for a time. After his senses had been regained, the man got on the wagon, drove to his home, unloaded the wood and put his team away. Craig was ill for a time, but he yet fails to recall the accident in the least.

COOK STANDS FIRM

Is Now in Belgium Trying to Organize a Recovery Expedition.

HIS RECORDS ARE WANTED

New York, Jan. 2S. Broken in health and spirit. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who failed to produce sufficient proof to satisfy the Danish scientists that he had been to the north pole, is tn Belgium. This was learned through a private letter received from Berlin by a friend sf Dr. Cook, trying to organize an expedition to go to Greenland to recover his instruments and polar records which Karry Whitney of New Haven, Conn., left in a cache at Etah, and to seach for the two Eskimos who accompanied him on his polar trip. He has the support, it is said, of Captain George Lecompte, who was navigating officer of the Belgian Antarctic expedition in 1JSU7, of which Dr. Cook was surgeon and anthropologist. Dr. Cook has been in a weakened condition both mentally and physically, according to the advices from Berlin, since he left New York, the latter part of November. Much of the time it is said, he has spent in a sanitarium. Mrs. Cook is with him, and they are reported to be sojourning at a quiet hotel in the vicinity of Brussels. There Dr. Cook Is living under au assumed name. "Although crushed by the unfavorable decision, writes his friend, "Dr. Cook realizes that the verdict of Copenhagen disposes of his claim of having been the first to reach the north pole, until he can produce proof more convincing than that which has been submitted to and rejected by the jury which he himself chose, the University of Copenhagen. His expulsion from Uie Arctic club of America and the Ex-
