“Last year, however, I suffered for eight
months without interruption so that I
could not do any work at all. The va-

brought me no relief.
“After taking six bottles of Peruna,
two of Lacupia and two of Manalin, I

Pierce, Neb.—Mrs. Dollle Schllow-

uie so much good! 1 had dreadful
backache and dizziness, and suffered
from pains In my eyes and In the
back of my head, as well as low down
In my body.
Sometimes, it seemed like I would
die with the pain. I was compelled
to see the doctor, but he did not help
me.
At last, I began to take Cardul, and
three bottles gave me great relief.
My health Is getting better every day.
I can recommend Cardul to suffer-
ing women, for It helped me wonder-
fully. It Is a wonderful medicine."
Other women, who Buffer as Mrs.
SchllowBky did, should learn from her
what to do, to be relieved. Take Car-
dul.
For women’s pains, for female troub-
les, for nervousness, for weakness,
It is tho best remedv you can use, the

For over 50 .years, Cardul has been
helping weak and miserable women
back to health and happiness. These
many years of success prove its
merit.

harmless, Cardul Is sure to help and
will leave no disagreeable after-ef-
fects. Try It.

Rules Governing Acquisition of Arid
or 6eml-AVld Lands Should Be
Modified—Commission on
Cost of Living.
Washington. Feb. 2.—A special mes
sage on the work ot the interior de-
partment and other matters wbb read
to Congress today.
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
There Is no branch of the Federal
Jurisdiction which calls more Impera-
tively for Immediate legislation thnn
that which concerns the public do-
rnnin, «n<1 pepecially the part of that
domain which is In Alaska.
The progress under the reclamation
act has made clear the defects of Its
limitations, which should be remedied.
The rules governing the acquisition
of homesteads, of land that Is not arid
or seml-arid, are not well adapted to
the perfecting of title to land made
arable by government reclamation
work.
I concur with the Secretary of the
Interior In his recommendation that,
after entry Is made upon land being
reclaimed, actual occupation as a
homestead of the same be not re-
quired unit! two years alter entry,
but that cultivation of the same shall
be required, and that yie present pro-
vision under which the land Is to be
paid for In ten annual Installments
shall be so modified as to allow a pat-
ent Issue for the land at the end of
five years’ cultivation and three
years’ occupation, with a reservation
of a government lien for the amount
of the unrald purchase money. This
leniency to the reclamation home-
steader will relieve him from occupa-
tion at a time when the condition of
the land makes It most burdeusome
and difficult, and at the end of fivo
years will furnish him with a title
upon which he can borrow money and
continue the Improvement of his hold-
ing.
I also concur In thekrecommenda-
tlon of the Secretary jjA the Interior
that nil of our publlrf^ ^ln should
be classified and t| >/h class
Bhould be disposed of\, ministered
In the manner moat appropriate to
that particular class.

THE careless grocer
Blundered, and Great Good Came of IL
A careless grocer left the wrong
package at a Michigan home one day
and thereby brought a great blessing
to the household.
"Two years ago I was a sufferer from
stomach troubles, so acute that the
effort to digest ordinary food gave me
great pain, and brought on a condition
cf surh extreme nervousness that I
could not be left alone. I thought I
should certainly become Insane. I was
so reduced in flesh that 1 was little bet-
ter than a living skeleton. The doc
tors failed to give me relief and I de-
spaired of recovery.
“One day our groccryman left a
package of Grape-Nuts food by mis-
take, so I tried Borne for dinner. I was
surprised to find that It satisfied my
appetite and gave me no distress what-
ever. The next meal I ate of It again,
and to be brief, I have lived for the
past year almost exclusively on Grape-
Nuts. It has proved to be a most
healthful and appetizing food, per-
fectly adapted to the requirements of
my system.
“Grape-Nuts is not only easily di-
gested and assimilated, but I find that
since I have been using It I am able
to eat anything else my appetite fan-
cies, without trouble from indiges-
tion. The stomach trouble and ner-
vousness have left me, I have regain-
ed my plumpness and my views of
life are no longer despondent and
gloomy.
“Other members of my family, espe-
cially my husband, (whose old enemy,
the 'heart-burn,' has been vanquished)

the use of Grape-Nuts food and we

the government, with restrictions as
to size and time, resembling those
which now obtain throughout the
country between the owners in fee
and the lessees who work the mines,
and In leases like those which have
been most successful in Australia,
New Zealand, and Nova Scotia. The
showing made by Investigations Into
the successful working of the leasing
system leaves no doubt as to its wis-
dom and prsrtlril utility. Require-
ments as to the working of the mine
during the term may be so framed
as to prevent any holding of large
mining properties merely for specula-
tion, while the royalties may be made
sufficiently low, not unduly to In-
crease the cost of the coal mined, and
at the same time sufficient to furnish
a reasonable Income for the use of
the public In the community where
the mining goes on. In Alaska, there
Is no reason why a substantial Income
should not thus be raised for such
public works as may be deemed
necessary or useful.
Would Build Trunk Line Railroad.
I am not In favor of government
ownership where the same certainty
and efficiency of Bervlce can be had
by private enterprise, but I think the
conditions presented In Alaska are of
such a character as to warrant the
government, for the purpose of en-
couraging the development of that
vast and remarkable territory, to
build and own a trunk line railroad,
which It can lease on terms which
may be varied and changed to meet
Hie growing prosperity and develop-
ment of the territory.
I have already recommended to
Lronvrnnmcvnn Congress the establishment of a form

«bat I have said as to the Immediate
need for a government of much wider
powers than now exists there, If It
can be said to have any government
at all.
Lower Colorado River,
There Is transmitted herewith a
letter from the Secretary of the In-
terior setting nut the work done un-
der joint resolution approved June 25.
1310, authorizing the expenditure of
$1,000,000, or so much thereof ns
might be necessary, to be expended
by the President for the purpose of
protecting lands and property in tbe
Imperial Valley and elsewhere along
the Colorado river in Arizona. Tbe
money was expended and the protec-
tive works erected, but the disturb-
ances in Mexico no delayed tbe work,
and the floods in the Colorado river
were so extensive that a part of the
works have been carried away, and
the need for further action and ex-
penditure of money exists.
Water-Power Sltee.
In previous communications to Con-
gress I have pointed out two methods
by which the water-power sites on
non-navlgable streams may be con-
trolled as between the stue and the
national government. It has seemed
wise that the control should be con-
centrated In one government or the
other as the active participant In
supervising Us use by private enter-
prise.
The Secretary of the Interior has
suggested another method by which
tho water-power site shall be leased
directly by the government to those
who exercise a public franchise un-
der provisions Imposing a rental for
the water power to create a fund to
b8 expended by the general govern-
ment for the Improvement of the
stream and the benefit of the local
community where the power site is,
and permitting the state to regulate
the rates at which the converted
power is sold. The latter method sug-
gested by the Secretary is a more
direct method for Federal control,
and In view of the probable union
am] systematic organization and weld-
ing together of the power derived
rrom water witnin a raaius of 300 or
4CD miles, I think It bettor that the
power of control chould remain in
tbp national government than that
It should be turned over to the states.
Under such a system the Federal gov-
ernment Would have such direct su-
pervision of the whole matter that
any honest administration could eas-
ily prevent the abuses which a monop-
oly of absolute ownership In private
persons or companies would make
possible. ,
For some years past the high and
steadily Increasing cost of living has
been a matter of such grave public
concern that I deem it of great public
interest that an international confer-
ence be proposed at this time for the
purpose of preparing plans, to be sub
mitted to the various governments, lor
an international Inquiry into the high
cost of living, its extent, causes, ef-
fects, and possible remedies. 1 there-
fore recommend that, to enable the
president to Invite foreign govern-
ments to such a conference, to be held

Commission on industrial Relations.
The extraordinary growth ot Indus-
try in the past two decades and its
revolutionary changes have raised new
and vital questions as to the relations
between employers and wage earners
which bave become mutters of press-
ing public concern. Industrial rela-
tions concern the public for a double
reason. We are directly interested In
the maintenance of peaceful and sta-
ble industrial conditions for-the sake
of our own comfort and well-being;
but society is equally interested, In lid
effectively civic capacity, In seeing
that our Institutions are effectively
maintaining justice and fair dealing
between‘any classes of citizens whose
economic interests may seem to
clash.
The mngnlture and complexity of
modern industrial disputes have put
upon some of our statutea- and our
presen mechanism tor adjusting such
lifference8—where we can be asft to
have any mechanism at all—a strain
they were never intended to bear and
for which they are unsuited. /What Is
urgently needed to day is a re-exami-
Misbranding Imported Goods.
My attention haB been called to the
injustice which is done in this country
by the sale of article in the trade
purporting to be made in Ireland,
when they are not so made, and It Is
suggested that the justice of tbe enact-
ment of a law which, so far as the Jur-
isdiction of the federal government
can go, would prevent a continuance
of (Ms misrepresentation to ihe pub-
lic and fraud upon those who are en-
titled to use the statement in the sale
of their goods. I think it to be great-
ly In the Interest of fair dealing, which
ought always to be encouraged by law,
for congress to enact a law making it
a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or
Imprisonment, to use the mails or to
put into Interstate commerce any ar-
ticles of merchandise which bear upon
their lace a statement that they have
been manufactured in come particular
country wheti tno fact is otherwise.

PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK
“My troubles began along In the
summer In the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and
itching and a kind of smarting pain.
It took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered "with a mass of
pimples which would burn and Itch at
night so that 1 could hardly stand it.
This condition kept getting worse and 1
worse until my back was a solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
a clot of blood.
“I tried various remedies and snlveB
for nearly three years and I was not
getting any benefit. It seemed I was
in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on a chair. I was
finally given a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and Inside of two weeks I
could see and feel a great relief. I
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also tho Resolvent, and in about
three or four months’ time my back
was nearly cured and I felt like a new
being. Now I am In good health and
so sign of any skin diseases and I
am fully satisfied that Cuticura Reme-
dies are the best ever made for skin
diseases. I would not bo without
them.’’ (Signed) W. A. Armstrong,
