WOMEN NOl This Statement Has Bee Modest Women Ev* Male Physicians. (7R fe'. An eminent physician says that 'Women are not truthful; they will lie to their physician." This statement should be qualified; women do tell the truth, but not the whole truth, to a . male physician, but this is only in regard to those painful and troublesome disorders peculiar to their sex. There can be no more terrible ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions when those questions are asked, even by her family physician. This, is especially the case with unJb married women. Is it any wonder, then, that women WUUUUO W> BUUCi OUU uia> uwwia fail to cure female diseases when they cannot get the proper information to work on ?

The report of Commissioner of Corporations Garfield on the beef Industry, after about eight months' investigation in Chicago and elsewhere, shows that there has been an enormous amount of exaggeration in the statements that have appeared for some time past in regard to the beef business. This investigation was set on foot by a resolution of the House of Representatives adopted March 7,1904, and the ascertained facts after a most rigid examination of the methods and general conduct of the business are contained in a report covering 308 pages. Its figures and tables conclusively show that the popular belief in enormous profits made by the large packers, such as Armour & Co., Swift & Co. and Nelson Morris & Co., and in the exclusive control of the business which many think they enjoy, is really without foundation. The report made to President Itoosevelt by Commissioner (Garfield is really the first official statement of the actual conditions of the beef business that has been made, and as all the conclusions arrived at are based, as shown by him, upon data officially obtained, there seems to be no reason why they should not be regarded as reliable and in all respects trustworthy. This report shows why the price of both cattle and beef advanced to the highest level ever known after the short corn crop of 1901, and states that because of the decrease in number of cattle and also in decreased weight, "the high prices of beef which caused so much complaint among consumers at this time were attributable wholly to these abnormal cattle prices." All the figures of the live weight and live cost of all dressed beef cattle were obtained from actual killing records, | and all Information or every Kina ontained by the Commissioner was voluntarily and freely offered by the packers, all books of record and papers connected with the business having been placed at bis disposal. To make certain that the results of the investigation should be absolutely accurate, the Commissioner states that a double method of ascertaining profits was adopted, and, without going into detail here, it is found that the conclusion arrived at shows an average profit of 09 cents per head. The Commissioner says "the close parallelism in the results of the two methods of ascertaining the profits confirms completely the correctness of the general conclusions.'* It is clearly established that "Western packers do not control more than half of the beef > supply of the United States," the conclusion of the Commissioner being that the busl(ness done by them amounts to "about 45 per cent." of the total slaughter of the country. The whole report is extremely interesting and well worthy of careful perusal. As an official report it may be regarded as worthy of confidence, and it certainly leads the reader to the conclusion arrived at by the Commissioner when he states that "the capitalization of none of these concerns is excessive as compared with its actual investment," and that from thorough and rigid examination of original entries in books and papers to which he had access there was also "indirect eviI dence that the profits of the packers in their beef business are less than is frequently supposed," as shown by comparison between the total profits and the total amount of sales.

In the six years of the country's greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1903, average prices of bread stuffs advanced 05 per cent.; meats. 23.1 per cent; dairy and garden products, 50.1 per cent., and clothing 24.1. AH these were products of the farmer and stockman," who profited more than any other class of the community by these advances. The miner benefited 42.1 per cent, by that advance in the average price of metals. The only decrease in the average prices of commodities in that period was in railway freight rates, which decreased from .798 per ton-mile in 1897 to .763 in 1903, a loss of 4.4 per cent. The report of the Interstate Commerce Commission shows that the average increase in the pay of railroad employes in that period was a trifle above S.5 per cent.

Vacancy Occurs in Georgia Suprem? Court( and is Filled by Appointment of Judge Lumpkin. Associate Justice Joseph R. Lamar of the Georgia state supreme court tendered his resignation to Governor Terrell Monday to take effect April 10. Almost-immediately upon receiving the resignation Governor Terrell an pointed Judge Joseph Henry Lumpkin, grandson of Georgia's first chief justice, Joseph Henry Lumpkin, and present judge of the superior court for the Atlanta circuit, to succeed Justice Lamar upon the supreme court bench. Governor Terrell followed the appointment of Judge Lumpkin by appointing Judge John T. Pendleton, a well known Atlanta lawyer, formerly city recorder and assistant city attorney, as judge of the Atlanta circuit. The appointments both of Judge Lumpkin #and Judge Pendleton oame to them as complete surprises, the governor having consulted neither of them prior to reaching a decision/ But Judge Lnmpkin and Judge Pendleton will accept the appointments tendered them, and will assume their new duties of the respective c/.ces on Anril 10. when Judee Lamar :eaves the supreme court bench. Justice Joseph R. Lamar has had under consideration for some days the question of tendering his resignation. His reasons for leaving the supreme court bench, where the most cordial and delightful relations existed between himself and the other justices, are purely personal, and he so stated in his letter to Governor Terrell. It is known, however, that he was principally prompted by family considerations. particularly by the health of near members of his family. And. too, there has for sometime been a desire on his part to resume those home ties which were broken when he was called away from his home in Augusta to accept a position on the supreme bench. > Justice Lamar was appointed by Governor Terrell to the supreme bench upon the resignation of Justice William A. Little of Columbus, January 1, 1903. He served two years under this appointment and last October was elected by vote of the people, without opposition to succeed himself for a term of six years.

J RUSSIA'S BAD LUCK. Army Organ Lays Bare the Enormous Losses Sustained in War. Stung by the wholesale criticism lately heaped upon the war office for its unpreparedness and Incapacity in providing the Manchurian army Willi men, guns and munitions, the Russian army organ lays bare what has been done since the opening of hostilities, giving the exact figures. From these it appears that up tx> March 12 the war office has dispatched 13,087 officers, 761,457 men, 146,408 horses, 1,521 guns and 716,321 tons' of munitions and supplies to the front, declaring the transportation strained the Siberian railroad to its utmost capacity. It is denied that the war office was deceived in regard to the available strength of the Japanese army or the organization of the Japanese reserves, but the army organ frankly admits that the talents of the officers and the wonderful spirit of the soldiers were miscalculated.

I - * . .'-'5 Great War Loan of $150,000,000 Aiv ^ V ranged for in England and Amer ica?Signs of Peace Increase. ??? The final details of the Japanes* - -J loan were concluded in London Friday, with the exception of the exact N : N ,3 date of issue. Thl6 has not yet been ^ decided, but it will not be delayed. The amount is $150,000,000, with interest at 4 1-2 per cent. V The price of issue is 90, and the security will be the next receipts of the tobacco monopoly of Japan, amounting to $16,000,000, according to the budget for the next fiscal year. The loan will be issued simultaneously In New York and London, each of these cities taking $75,000,000. The American issuing banks are Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and others participating in the previous loan, while the British half of the loan is handled by the group of banks which was re sponsible for the earlier flotations. The loan is redeemable after fly? v years. Some subscription is expected in Holland and Switzerland. It is said in London that although German banks exhausted every effort to secure participation in the lean, they have been rigorously excluded, as the Japanese found no difficulty in finding the amount required in New ' York and London. ? Korretyo Katashi, special Japanese financial commissioner, informed the .J Associated Press that the $150,000,000 would suffice for Japanese requirements for a year or a year and a half, at the expiration of which time , 1 the war will be over. A Paris dispatch says: The pros- , Jj pects of peace between Russia and Japan assumed a more definite and almost tangible aspect Friday, as the ,\Vjj result of the announcement of the . resumption of negotiations for a Eus- V sian loan. .-y The postponement of the loan occurred through the stand taken by the financial element against proceed- - ^ ing while the uncertainties of war fj continued, while a willingness to resume negotiations was construed as meaning that their strong influence finally has prevailed with the authorities at St. Petersburg. It seems to be the accepted view of financiers that the proceeds of the loan will not be applied to the further continuance of the war. " JS It is understood that one of the inducements to a resumption of the negotiations was that a considerable portion of the proceeds shall remain in France for the purpose of meeting the interest coupons of other loans, and that the placing of contracts for ) government supplies will be required even after the conclusion of hoetil- , ; | Ities. Coupled with the announcement of resumption of the loan negotiations, came a strong intimation from official and diplomatic quarters that steps looking toward peace had been dell- " nitely taken by Russia. The foreign office declined to confirm a report that France was likely to be the Intermediary; but diplomats who are actively Interested for. the first time ' gave credit to the statement that Russia had decided to seek peace. ^ OHARGE8 FAILED TO 8TICIC s M Popular Manager of Atlanta Waterworks Fully Exonerated.
