TO UPHOLD STATEHOOD IDEA Vast Building to Cost $14,000,000 Pro posed—Congress and Each Common wealth to Provide Funds—State So cieties In the Metropolis Interested. A yormanent national fair to contain exhibits from every state In the Union and to be hou in a $14,000,000 build ing in New York city is being planned by .some of the state societies having headquarters here, says the New York Times. The plan includes a continu ous exposition, comprising the best features of world’s fairs of the past, and also luxurious ciubrooms for the state societies. Congress at the next session will be asked to appropriate $.">.000,000 toward this enterprise, and each of the state legislatures will be asked for $200,000. The leaders in the movement, which began in the Michigan society, say they have already been assured by many members of congress and by sev eral stale legislatures of support for their plan, and they believe they can carry it through. The members of the Michigan society who planned the scheme took it to the executive committees of several other state societies for approval. The plan was heartily received, and the Michi gan men were assured of the backing of the other societies. An interstate organization Is being formed which will take charge of the movement. Robert C. Auld of 1170 Broadway. New York, a member of the Michigan society, is one of the most enthusiastic of the advocates of the plan. He says: “The building we propose to erect will be without a parallel in the world. It is premature to give out details at this time, for many things must be ac complished. but it is only a matter of time when the project will be in full swing. By next autumn we shall prob ably be able to announce the site of the buildiug and the time when con struction will begin. Of course there is no question that we will be able to raise the necessary $14,000,000. “The building will not only serve the practical business interests of the states, but it will at the same time be an enuurlng monument to the idea of statehood as conceived by the framers of the constitution. Once it is com pleted, no American citizen will die content without seeing it It will ad vertise the existence of our common wealths, too often forgotten, beyond the metropolitan limit.” Ralph Folks, another of the promot ers, expressed the opinion that It was time the idea of statehood should be emphasized, iiie building to be erect ed. he said, would do that, and in ad dition it would he a distinct business ass d to the city. Backers of the project have laid down as a proviso to insure their par licipntion in the plan that it shall have (he full backing of the federal govern incut and that congress shall regulate its operation and maintenance. As to getting money for the project from the states it Is argued that if a state can give $200,000. the average ap propriation for the erection of a state building at a temporary fair, which is forgotten In a few months, there is no reason why a similar sum should not be expended for the perpetuation of the pride of each state. In the aggregate the $0.000 000 to be derived from state grants, it is argued, would be sufficient to guarantee the stability of the en- ternrise. William J. Worden of Michigan is the father of the project. It was dis cussed briefly at a recent dinner of the Michigan society In New York. Senator Ejrkett’s Signal. One of the conductors of a senate elevator rushed his car at full speed from the subbasement to the top floor one day without stopping to take on passengers that were waiting at in tervenlng floors. When he reached his destination he found a group of news paper men waiting to be carried below. “Where’s Senator Burkett?” inquired the conductor, adding, “That was cer tainly his ring." “He hasn’t been around here,” re plied one of the newspaper men. “He surely has," insisted the ele vator man, “or else some of you used his signal to call me. That signal Is two short rings and two long ones. Senator Burkett learned It when work ing on the C., B. and Q. railroad, and it became such a habit of his to obey the train signal of two short and two long whistles that he unconsciously fell Into the custom of giving it for this elevator.’’—Washington Herald.

Those most usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed mid dle 1 .fe. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint which lias hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms, legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn ulcer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated. Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore. The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one. Washes, salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore, can r_ . .. i.v doanypermanentgood:neithcrwilIremo\r- I was afflicted with a sore on zny . r ,. n ’ . , 7, face of four years’ standing.
