One box (50c) cured me entirely, and though two years have elapsed I have had no return of the trouble. Naturally I regard it as the greatest remedy in the world. Yours, J. P.

The work of goU| building a wooden bulkhead amid- rouj ships was begun this week, and there qis no doubt now of the feasibility of Boating the afterpart of the ship. Up to the present, it is said, all f0n< indications strongly confirm the find- ^un ings of the Sampson board of inquiry f0T^ that the ship was destroyed by an ex- in(jj terior explosion, supplemented by ex- Ba^( plosions in the forward magazines. gre? Dfficers in charge of the work, how- gr0l ever, are silent as to their conclu- Won Jions. who The forward section for a distance iang of 70 feet from the bow is lying on \n | its starboard side and twisted sharp- recc ly to port. Exploration within this er's section has -now been completed for 40 feet, leaving only 30 feet to the extremity of the bow, which it is expected will be reached within two t weeks. thot Removal of the four forward boil- wor ers has been delayed owing to the insufficient strength of the derricks. desI 6TS Shortage Charged Against Vardaman. help Jackson, Miss., Nov. 24.?Alleging thei that when he retired from office in case 1908 several thousand dollars in and State funds were not fully accounted long for, suit was filed in the chancery ents court of Hinds county seeking to this have former governor, now United thei States senator, James K.
