Head the following: "1 have always been healthy with the execution of a touch of rheumatism since my a e came on, up to the time of my husband's last illness some years ago. 1 assisted in nursing my husband for nearly thiee months when ne departed this life and the mental strain I think caused my trouble. Aside from extreme nervousness my trouble commenced with sore throat and neuralgia. My physician gave me purgative doses which weakened me very much and my stomach for a time seemed inactive. Mental strain and the dormant condition of my stomach soon told upon my general healtn. I had little appetite and was soon forced to stay in bed a greater part of the time. Within a week after the time I began taking Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and Tonic i w.fs up about the house. I continued their use until completely cured. My faith in Dr. Miles' Remedies has been strengthened by experience of other people,ourdaughter having used Restorative Nervine with splendid results in a case of para ysis and a friend to whom I sent a box of the Anti-Tain Tills reports that she has been completely cured of neuralgia bv their use. I know of a number of others whom yourmedicine has helped in a large degree. I wish you continued success." ?Mrs. Frances Coffman, Dayton, Va. All drticgists sell and guarantee first bottle l)r.

By a Btrict party vote the Ben ate committee on commerce to day decided to report favorably the nomination of W. I), ('rum, collector at Charleston. The result was preceded by a sharp exchange of political views between Senator Frye, in support of Crum, and SenatorsClay.Berry and Martin of the minority. Senator Frye denounced the opposition to Crum as unjustifiable and beneath the rlnrnilv r?f tho senate. He not only paid tribute to drum's ability, intelligence and high character, but he took occasion to indulge in a general criticism of the white people of the southern states for their treatment of the negro race. The Democratic senators resented the attack upon the white people of the south, and plainly told Senator Frye that he allowed his political bias to blind his judgment in dealing with the race problem in the south,about which he was evidently misinformed or earned away by extreme partisan zeal. Considerable bitter feeling was engendered and the Democrats propose to carry the fight into lite senate and stave off confir mation for an indefinite period. Senator Tillman was greatly incensed at the partisanship displayed by Senator Frye, who was supposed to be h liberal, fair minded man. When the committee was polled it was found that Senator I'er kins of California,who previously voted against Crum,had absented himself from the committee meeting rather than vote against the members of his party. Senator Stone was the only Democratic absentee, so that the vote was 8 to 5 in favor Crum. An Early Itlser. A strong, healthy, active con stitution depends largely on the condition of the liver.

How Sufferers From Lung Trouble Fiirlit the Hiseuse. Thus far man has been unable to discover a specific for the cure of the "great white plague/' consumption, though in many parts of Europe and the United States the fresh air treatment has met w ith considerable success. The op>en air method of treat ing tuberculosis was first practiced hy I)r. Brehmer in Silesia, Germany, as early as 1859. Since then the idea has spread until now it is employed at sanitariums in various parts of the world. Dr. E L. Trudeau of Saranac, N. Y., was one of the first Americans to test the open air treat merit..* lie was himself suffering from tuberculosis, and when he visited the Adirondacks in 1873 was in a critical condition. He spent one winter in the open air and was so much improved that he persisted until he was entirely cured. In 1884 he opened a sanitarium near the scene of his own cure, and this was the first attempt in America to imitate on a large scale the efforts of Dr. Brehmer in Silesia. Outdoor life, plenty of nourish ing food and rest, are what the physicians at the sanitariums prescribe, ami that is about all there is to the treatment. The first thing they impress on a patient is the importance of staying out doors continually duriug the day, whether it be stormy or pleasant, and sleeping in rooms with the windows sufficiently open to permit a perfect circulation of fresh air. Staying out of doors, especially sitting for eight or ten hours on an open veranda, at first seems a hardship to the new patient, but he soon becomes accustomed to it, and after a fewweeks he will complain if compelled to remain indoors or sleep with closed windows. Patients who are strongenough to take exercise may do so, but absolute rest is enforced ou those whoHe condition will not warrant exertion. Discipline at the sanitarium is rigidly enforced, expulsion being the penalty for willful violations of the rules. For an hour each morning and evening the sleeping rooms are closed and heated that dressing and undressing may be performed in an atmosphere of comparative warmth. Alter breakfast blankets are spread on steamer ehairs on verandas or shelter sheds which are provided at some of the sanitariums. Here the patients spend the morning hours until the midday dinner is served. Sufferers fror* tuber culosis are stuffed to repletion with good, wholesome food, this being an important part of the cl re. Recently the custom of sleep ing outdoors has been adopted at several sanitariums with excellent results. The first, recorded case was that of a patient in the Adirondacks. About two years ago a man experienced a setback. He had a cot on the veranda which he occupied during the day, and he began to sleep on this at night. He at once began to improve, and to j day he is at work, j The physicians at this institution do not advise patients to ' sleep out. Thev are left entirely free to follow their own inclination in the matter, but of more than a hundred now at the insti' tution in question over half ; sleep out of doors, not withstand' ing that during the present win ter the mercury has frequently gone fur below zero. The cottages are so arranged that each patient's bedroom opens directly over a covered veranda, upon which the bed is pushed. Each bed is generously furnished with blankets, and experience shows that one can sleep in the open air with much more com fort than in a room with the windows open. People sleeping out and living out doors continually rarely take cold. Tht> fresh air treatment has cured m?i?v and it is not even necessary to go to a sanitarium to get it. Many sufferers from the disease have improved their condition and in some instances have been entirely cured by sleeping with their windows open in all weathers and living in the open air by day.

The Fertilizer Thru The South Carolina law in regard to tags on fertilizer ship ments has caused some contusion in Georgia, and Attorney General Hart ha8 rendered an opinion in the matter submitted by Mr. For ter Fleming, of the Southern Slates Phosphate and Fertilizer company, ot Augusta. The ter tilizer company has been selling guano to parties in Lincoln coun ly and shipping it to Modoc,S C.. which is just across the Savannah river from Lincoln county. From Modoc it would be taken to Lin coin county ;u wagons. Tlie South Carolina law requires tags of this slate to he put on all guano before it can be accepted by a railroad for shipment. They were put on by the fertilizer company, but the Georgia tags were left off. There has been no attempt to ?vado the law, the only question being as ?o which tags should be lifted, .fudge Hart holds that the fertilizer is sold in Georgia for use in Georgia, and that any sui' would have to be tried in Geor gia, so Georgia tags should be used, though it might be just as well to put on the South Caro lina tags, to avoid trouble.?Ex..
