I had a serious womb j and ovarian trouble and I could not carry a child to maturity, and was advised that an operation was my only hops of recovery. I could not bear to think of going to the hospital, so wrote you for advice. I did as tou instructed me and took Lydia E.

As i j passed in 1S9S, together with the corn- i ! plementary statute, it afforded State i i co-operation (really one piece of legis- i ; lation) to the counties and towns to 1 i an initiative and limited extent, and r I was preservative of local option, liome ] ! rule and the administrative entity of * ! the county and the town. And. doing J so, it is nevertheless comprehensive r and elastic to such an extent that this 1 legislation is capable of adoption by s j any State almost without modification. 1 j Being so, it is also capable of extension I ] or expansion so as to bring in federal j co-operation and the national interest, j "without other modification than that I if the same be advisable, j But, while embodying self-belpfulj ness, this legislation was not intended j to emasculate self-reliance. It distinet| ly provided as to the main roads that ! upon completion they should be turned j over to the counties and be thereafter ! maintained as county roads. But a further provision was added in the home rule intent?that the boaTds of supervisors may apportion the expense as they may be empowered by law. The county is the ideal unit for road building, area and expenditure sufficient for the best results. At a county seat rural and urban interests conjoin. Observation on two of these '"State" roads in my native county, Broome, showed the percentage of vehicles owned and belonging to the city to be 62.73. I venture to say SO per cent of vehicles on any road are in transit I to and from the cities. These main | roads, as I early guessed and since determined, are about 10 per cent of the total mileage. They traverse the town, to be sure, but are of interest beyond it and often a burden beyond it if properly constructed and to be maintained. I rtAef An tllA +ATT11 i 1U put UiC n iiuic V.UOI vu iul IV,... would be to imperil the road or burden 1 it unduly. Let us, as intended, maintain these main roads as county roads and a flat county charge, which will entail littie cost 011 any and be in the general interest; for the urban populai tion of the county is as much benefited I by such an arterial system as the rural i districts. This will relieve the towns } of any share in the construction of the | main roads, save 15 per cent, and of their maintenance save their minor " i county taxation, and they will be bet| ter able to maintain and improve these I lesser roads under the town unit and money system, with the State's contri- s bfition going, as intended, to work of a permanent value, under pressure j from the State aud county engineers. The basic official is the county engi- \ neer or superintendent, giving the State Engineer a representative in < every county. The present divisional system is good enough for waterways, but not detailed enough for roadways, and within each county there should be these as the guiding directors of j 1 I I ; main road building, co-operative with j the highway commissioners in the les- ( I ser town road building. Their first j effort should be to map out the maiu y roads, the county system, and the town road systems, and proceed thereunder as fast as able or reasonable, and maintainance should be evolved somewhat analogous to railroads, divisional and j sectional, but not involving such assiduous care, can more elastically avail itself of local help and material. The intelligent farmer being employed, as a side issue, in sectional care, which, * under expert direction, will have propr er results. We should emphasize the j" county as we have its officials, super- i3 visors and superintendents, as the golden mean between the too liberal and unlocal State action and the too 1 narrow town action of New England 1 origin, suited only to past or pioneer A conditions. ( The State's interest and share being properly confined to half of the first * construction of the main roads and these fixed at 10 per cent, of the mileage, and the State now failing to meet the county demand, in view of its per- t manent investment feature and ecou- i omy in transportation and improve- c ment in realty values, the judicious -v bonding scneme, not incorporated m ^ the law at the time, not then ripe, and imperiling its passage, was passed in s 1903 and should be again this year and i go to the people, who shall determine thereupon whether we pay as we go. c is now, and thus slowly, or by It ac- t complish the completion of the system t within a decade and distribute the cost j over fifty years, allowing increased c population and wealth, largely due thereto, to share therein and which, t under any rate, will more quickly r liquidate the same. It should be shown that of the $50.- j a 000,000 only $25,000,000 is actually the t State's share; for the other, it is ac-! i commodation. indorser for the counties.! Let us say we appropriate now $1,- j t 250,000. This will pay interest, $750,- | \ 000, and at least $500,000 a year to a j t sinking fund. Actually this maximum j will not be reached, as we wisely ex- j v pend but $5,000,000 a year to avoid | s extravagance and swamping the road ! s * mailing i'orces, and so the sinking und reduces. This is all the call npon the State or main highway betterment, and its o-operation with the town being efective during this period, the nest lecade. we may well anticipate that he State can then get out of the' road juilding business, and the counties and -.T-UI l\rw nmva <inni'Of>'?)tirp and v n no \tixi uc ku\sL ? jy then quite able to maintain these onds as they should, ami also to proride themselves with any others that nay be thereafter needed.?Thomas A.

In the little, swarming streets off Whitechapel Road, down through >horeditch and Bethnal Green, linnetsinging is the pastime of thousands ind the business of scores of men, who vill bet themselves to a standstill >ver the sweet-voiced rivalries of two vee, brown little birds caged on the vail of some public house whose reputation makes respectability timorous )L" intrusion. The hard-face "liast Ender," whose chiefest joy is a bloody "limited round go" in the prirt ring of -larrv .lacob's Wonderland in White iliapel, may be seen next night in tbe lack room of Tom Symond's "pnb," sitting in breathless silence, and belind locked doors, with a hundred of lis kind, while his linnet sings a match 'or "pleasant song," and a stake of tea shillings a side. There was never a more incongruous sport than this, yet despite its ganibing interest, inseparable from all :inds of popular English sport, it is :o rejoice that so sentimental and vhimsical a pastime makes many a iright spot in the clouded life of the slast End., To those who do not know, t may be well to explain that the rocal school of the linnet in ihe world if sport is as thoroughly systematized ind as fast bound by tradition as the ireparatory training for grand opera. This is no haphazard issue of betting vhich of two birds will sing longest, ir loudest, or sweetest. Every detail if a match is fixed by unwritten law nolded through many generations of eferees, timekeepers, scorers and owners. Erom time beyond reckoning, the innet's singing vocabulary has been ixed and set into the two divisions mown as "pleasant song" and 'rough song." The first consists of a ist of refrains, each of which conains more than four notes or syllables. If a match is made for "pleasant >ong," then the contesting birds mnst dick to their more complicated strains, >lse they are scored against. In such i match, if the linnet interjects one or nore of the shorter or "rough songs," ?ucli fault is chalked against him by ? ~-i in 4 ha 'lie score-Keeper, uuu .ipiycaio iu uv inal totals. If the stipulation is for 'rough song," then the bird may use hese contracted or easier sequences of lotes, and receive perfect marks, 'lhe >irds which can be backed to sing only pleasant song" are the grand opera stars of the bird stage in East Loudoa -Ralph D.

The plaintiffs claim that during the month of October last the local organization held several mass meetings, the result of which was a demand upon the Alabama Consolidated Iron and Coal Company to dismiss from their mines all non-union workers and tha: If they should fail to grant their request a strike would be the result, and that on account of heavy contracts which the company was compelled to fill, knowing that a strike would greatly retard their outj put, they were compelled to act as the I union miners had demanded, and that for this reason on 'November 10 they were turned out of their homes and many of them deprived of the bare necessities of life.

The party consisted of .Secretary Metcait, Don Gaonza de Quesada, the Cuban miniser at Washington; Senators Simmons ind Overman, Representatives R. N. Page and John H. Small of North Carolina and J. M. Dixon of Mon* ana, President Samuel Spencer, W. ?V. Finley, L. McManus and L. S: 3rown of the Southern Railway and leveral newspaper men. The first speaker of the evening , .j. vas Secretary Victor H. Metcalf of he department of commerce and la)or, who discussed industrial condi- ;: ions in North Carolina and the south md the need of an expansion of our "'to 'oreign trade. Secretary Metcalf devoted some at- /" ^ ention to the south at large, saying .hat the lumber and timaer industry show greater expansion here than V: elsewhere in the United States. Of the production of cotton and the man- - o lfacturer thereof," the speaker said: .. "During the recent years the world's lommercial output of raw cotton has 'y Lveraged approximately 15,000,004k ^ )ales a year. The average prohucion of the United States lor the last seven years has been a little less v ;han 11,000,000 bales a year, or about % f5 per cent of the total commercial supply. The continuance of this conlition, of this proportion of American supply of the world's require- N ? nents, will depend primarily upon the ibility of the south to meet the de- \ V nand at prices which England, Eu- J S ope, Japan and other customers will egard as fair and reasonable. But "S he interests of the United States ami )f the southern states especially, no oneer lie in beinjr only a source of Sa w w supply for raw material. Those /in* - ..# ;erests now lie in the shipments of \ v :he finished product, the manufacture id articles. It is better to ship yarn : 3 han to ship raw cotton, but it is bet;er still to ship the woven cloth. /. <; Senator Simmons spoke on imml / 1M nation, emphasizing the need of more f abor in the south. He said in part: "That tfiis is a question of great , md pressing urgency Is now conced* id by well-nigh every one In tho ^ touth, including most of those who ti* mtil recently denied that the south vas confronted by either a present or mm prospective labor problem, who projounced as dangerous if pot revolutionary, any and every movement ' ooking to the introduction of foreigners'Into that section.
