THREE CHICAGO DOCTORS Fatted to Be for Miss Mabette L. LaMonte What Wai Accomplished bj Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Dear Mas. Pinkham:—l was in an awful state for nearly three years With a complication of female troubles which three physicians called by different names, but the pains were all the same. I dreaded the time of my MABELLE L. LaMONTB. monthly*periods for it meant a couple of days in bed in awful agony. I finally made up my mind that the good doctors were guessing; and hearing from different friends such good reports of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, I tried that. I bless the day I did, for it was the dawning of a new life for me. I used five bottles before I was cured, but when they were taken I was a well woman once more. Your Compound is certainly wonderful. Several of my friends have used it since, and nothing but the best do I ever hear from its use.” Yeurs, Mabelle L. LaMontb, 223 E. 31st St., Chicago, 111.— tsooo forfait If about ttitlmonlal It not gtnulnt. If Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound could cure Miss LaMonte—why not you? Try it and see for yourself.— , Mrs. Pinkham advises sick women free. Address, Lynn, Mass.

ODD FACTS ABOUT OLIVES.

1 " i ■ Some of Them Which Grow Seasick oa the Voyage Here. ~—--- A large percentage of the olivas coming to this country, - the dealers say, suffer with the human malady of seasickness on their ocean voyage. As in the human being, the seasickness" of the olive is the result of the vessel’s rolling and pitching, which in some way affects the strength of the brine in they are packed, and in consequence the olive turps dark and sick, and must be cured quickly or it will succumb to the attack. A large importing house in this city has two expert chemists or “doctors” who examine all olives at the steamer dock upon their arrival. The seasick olives are at once taken from the brine, carefully washed and deposited in strong clean brine, which in most cases has the salutary effect desired. Some olives revive and are then none the worse; in fact,*they are often improved in quality. The importation of olives reached 1,300,000 gallons herClast year. The finest grown come to the United States., In France they eat the crescent olive, which is’ home-grown. About 16,000 gallons of these come to this country, but they are considered inferior to the Spanish. In England the edible olive is small, cheap and oily. Most of the fine Spanish Queen olives, which grow within a fifty-mile radius of Seville and nowhere else, come to this country and constitute between 60 and 70 per cent of the entire importation. They are not popular in Spain, as they are deemed too expensive, and the Spanish people prefer to ship them and obtain the money. The constitution of the olive is very delicate, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. From the time the crop is gathered until it is finally packed In the bottle there is not a moment which is not fraught with the intensest anxiety on the part of all who handle the fruit. Some three years ago there was a 70 per cent advance in the price of olives owing to the shortage of the crop. The price, however, has been maintained and importers believe it will remain high. Olives are usually Imported in the bulk, as the duty on bottled olives Is 40 per cent ad valorem, while in barrels there is a specific duty of 15 cents a gallon, which is much cheaper.

Congress.

. Consideration,of the Hepburn isthmian canal bill began on Tuesday in the House of Representatives. The debate was of unusual interest and centered largely on the new phase of the question due to the offer of the Panama company to sell its property to the United States for $40.000,000. Mr. Cannon of Illinois and Mr. Reeves of the same State, one chairman of the committee on appropriations and the other a member of the committee on rivers and harbors, asked Mr. Hepburn a number of leading questions. Mr. Cannon wanted to know why the choice of a route should not be left to the President in view of the changed aspects of the Panama situation. Mr. Hepburn replied that the Panama route was wholly out of the question so far as Congress was concerned in the selection of a route for the canal. Mr. Morris of Minnesota gave notice that at the proper time he would offer an amendment to authorize ths President, if he could procure the property and rights of the Panama company for $40,000,000. if concessions could be procured from Colombia and if the Walker commission so recommended, to purchase and proceed to complete the Panama canal On Wednesday the isthmian canal bill was before the House for debate. All the principal speakers recognized the advantage of the Panama route and announced themselves in favor of .it. So strong had sentiment grown in favor of the Panama route that the most advanced advocates of its selection were talking of forcing a square issue between it and the Nicaragua route. The more conservative friends of the Panama route are urging a compromise—not that they are uncertain of their own strength, but to escape playing directly, into the hands of the Panama company. The debate was rather tedious. Several members who had been among the thirty who voted against the Hepburn bill when it was last under consideration announced they would give it their support provided an amendment is attached giving the President power-to make a selection." Mr. Burton of Ohio, chairman of the commit; tee on rivers and harbors, who voted against the bill, reviewed the objections by the minority when it was last before the House, to show that practically all had been removed. Representative Hill of Connecticut attracted attention by reading letters from expert engineers in favor of the Panama route. Representatives Bromwell of Ohio, Gillet of Massachusetts, Littlefield of Maine, Gibson of Tennessee, Lacey of lowa and other speakers advocated the Panama route. The only one to appear during the day squarely in favor of the Nicaragua route was Representative Cummings of New York. By a vote which was virtually unanimous the House of Representatives on Thursday passed the Hepburn Nicaragua canal bill. But on a test of strength between thie rival routes Panama mustered 120 votes against 170 for Nicaragua. Only two members of the House voted against the Hepburn bill on the question of final passage—Mr. Fletcher of MinneAOta and Mr. Lassiter ,of Virginia. Mr. Bishop of Michigan and several members from the Northwest refrained from voting, among them Page Morris of Duluth, who actively advocated the Panama route. Mr. Fletcher has several times announced his opposition to government construction of an isthmian canal, believing the work should be done by private enterprise.. The vote in favor of the bill was 308. The proceedings were enlivened by several passages between Mr. Cannon and Mr. Hepburn. The feeling between them is well understood by members of the House who are ever watchful for fireworks when they come together over a bill. As the members responded to their nnmes on the foil call on the passage of the bill they left the House and the chamber was practically deserted when the Speaker announced the result and adjourned the House. After an all-day debate in the House on the Hopkins bill to create a permanent census bureau the matter was recommitted on Friday to permit the addition of a provision placing the present employes under civil service so they could be transferred to other departments. The fight to recommit was made under the leadership of Mr. Burkett TJT Nebraska, the new member of the appropriations committee. What might be termed the first gun in the campaign for the re-es-tablishment of the pneumatic tube service was fired when Representative Roberts of Massachusetts introduced a bill providing for the introduction of this service in Chicago, St. Louis, New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn. The bill proposes an appropriation of $355,000, to be divided among the six cities as follows: New York nnd Brooklyn, $126,000; Chicago, $84,000; Boston, $(10,000; St. Louis, $50,000; Philadelphia, $35,000. A bill was passed unanimously to give Mrs. McKinley the free mailing privileges during the remainder of her life. The House then adjourned until ) Monday.

WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES

Regard Peruna as Their Shield Against Catarrh, Coughs, Colds and Catarrhal Diseases.

Catarrh is an old cold. Even the strongest and most robust are liable to colds during the winter months. A cold, if neglected, is almost certain to cause catarrh of the head, which rapidly spreads through the system, setting up catarrh of the throat, lungs, stomach or pelvic organs. What a host of winter ailmentswould be prevented by a preventive as well as a cure for colds.

Mrs. Geo. Kalb, Hot Springs, Ark., writes: “Systemic catarrh has troubled mefor nine years; I read in the. papers of the cures effected by the - use of Peruna, and I decided to give it a trial. I had tried many good doctors but without avail. I tod’k two bottles of Peruna and felt so much improved that I kept on taking it until I had used twelve bottles, and am now completely cured of the dread disease.” Miss Nellie Crow, No. 1114 Edith place, Memphis, Tenn., writes: “As I was cured from a chronic case of catarrh of the head, I am only too glad to recommend Peruna. I have had more or less catarrh ever since I can remember, and have tried numerous remedies and doctors’ prescriptions, and while some things would help me for the time being, it is to Peruna that I owe a perfect cure. It was recommended to me by a friend who had been cured through Its use, so I gave it a trial and it not only cured the catarrh but toned up the entire system.”

FOUND AMERICANS BUYING LAND AT SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN CANADA. A Michigan Farmer Visits Saskatoon and Is Well Pleased. Mr. S. K. Lent was a delegate sent from the farmers of Allegan County, Michigan, to Western* Canada to report on the prospects for successful settlement. His report Is as follows: I went from Winnipeg to" Edmonton, thence east one hundred miles by wagon. I found the country In that vicinity a rich, black loam, varying from twelve Inches to three feet deep; the crops are simply something enormous; wheat and oats by actual measurement often standing five feet in height. I have been a farmer for forty years, and consider myself a fair judge of the yield of grain, and I saw wheat that would yield 50 bushels per acre, and oats that would yield 100 bushels per acre; not one alone, but a good many. As for root crops and garden truck, in no country have I ever seen their equal for all kinds except corn and tomatoes; the nights being too cool for these to ripen well. As a stock country it has no equal. East of Edmonton, on the head waters of the Vermillion fiver, I saw hay meadows containing from 10 to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet high, and ould often cut three to four tons to the acre. From Edmonton 1 passed through some fine locations, namely, Wetaskiwln, Lacombe and other points. From Macleod I went to Regina, thence to Prince Albert, 247 miles north of the main line. For the first fifty miles is fine farming country, but the next hundred miles is more of a stock country. Then at Saskatoon; Rosthern and Duck Lake I found some very fine farming country, so good that I found a party of Americans from Minnesota buying land for themselves, one party buying twelve sections, and the other twenty sections of land for themselves, which they proposed to improve at once. I have traveled over twenty-three different States and territories In our Union, and never In my lifetime have I ever seen such magnificent crops and especially as flue a stock country.

Proof Positive. "Where did you get your pretty ring, Edna?” asked a visitor of a bright 4-year-old miss. “Brother Will gave it to me,” she answered. “Is it a diamond?” queried the visitor. "Well, I should think it ought to be,” was the indignant retort. “It cost 39 cents,”—Chicago News. Brooklyn, N. Y, Jan. 18.—A very timely and practical suggestion comes from a physician of tbls city. He says: “Take Garfield Tea. tbe Herb Medicine, ft Is especially needed at thia season, when the system is spt to be out of order from eating rich food. This wonderful remedy cleanses the system snd regulates the liver, kidneys, stomach and bowels. It Is simple, pure and effective, and Is yod for young and old.” The Natchez tribes are said to have been the only North American Indians who had a temple of worship.

Peruna is such a remedy. If taken' Mt the first symptom of catching cold it heals the catarrhal condition befors it becomes established and makes impossible a spread of the disease. Should the eold be neglected and result in catarrh, Peruna will cure, but it will take much longer ind will result in much unnecessary suffering. <

until I took PERUNA. Three bottles not only cured me completely, but It left my system in a fine condition, and I feel better than I have for years.

I caught a hard cold, and, my system being in a weakened condition, I found it Impossible to shake off the cold. I was advised by a neighbor to try PERUNA and bought a bottle, and am only sorry now that I did not know of it before, as it would have saved me so much suffering. I shall not be without It again, as It effected a speedy cure.”
