The army, too, would feel the stim- arlus of fresh hlood and quickened ac- tivity among its commanding officers. Especially in time of peace there is great danger of falling into a rut, and the plan of General Wood involves the placing in command of officers who have not lost the power of initiative.— ¢y of improving the waterways of the «United States, and of the methods that should be pursued in bringing about the end desired by them all, charac- terized the meeting of that organiza- tion, today. Plea for National Improvement. One of the strongest pleas for na- tional improvement of the flowing highways of the nation was made by Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor, who declared that the very nature of interstate naviga- tion made the national government re- sponsible for providing suitable water courses for carrying on commerce. Neither private enterprise nor state appropriations could be permitted to improve these waterways, he sald, so that if they were to be looked after at Milwaukee Sentinel. all the general government would have to do it. Without making a dis- tinet reference to the issuance of bonds fpr doing this work he suggested that what was done should be accom- plished in a way to assure the prompt completion of a comprehensive pro- Jject. How the East Has Been Outstripped. Representati J. Hampton Moore, president of t Atlantic Deeper Wa- terways convention, who, caused much enthuiasm, showed how the east has b outstripped by the middle and the far west in transportation facilities. During the car shortage of 1906 and 1907 he said the people of the east awoke to the rneed of the inland pas- sage along the Atlantic coast as a means of placing the industries there more nearly upon an equality with those of more progressive citizens In the middle west and on the Pacific coast. <.

The republican insurgents are really expecting to be able to overturn the house rules at the present session of congress. With the aid of the 171 dem- ocratic votes, 25 republican insurgents could control the house. They have two tasks before them, viz., to cap- ture the 23 democrats who in March last voted with the Cannon machine, and to then bring their own number up to 85, or up to 48 if the %3 demo- cratic votes cannot be secured. Each is a difficult task. The 23 demccrats have been coddled with committee as- signments, patronage, etc., and may therefore be inaccessible to argument against Cannonism. Not securing these votes, the insurgents must look to their own side for 48 votes, and they hope to secure them from members who have been punished by the speak- er for having voted against the rules or against sundry items of the tariff bill. Among the republican members who are named by the insurgent lead- ers as possibly to be ranked against the rules which give autocratic power to Speaker Cannon and which power has been grossly abused by him, is one Connecticut representative, Mr. Hill. As may be remembered, the speaker punished Mr. Hill by omitting his name from the list of the tariff conference committee, a position to which he was fairly entitled by the precedents and by his attainments. Judging from Speaker Cannon’s vin- dictive, unforgiving character, he will continue to punish Mr, Hill in every possible way. The Connecticut con- greseman would be fully justified in joining the Insurgents, and most as- suredly public sentiment would ap- prove such action by him. Nor would his refusal to aid the insurgents be likely to placate Speaker Cannon; Un- cle Joe never forgets or forgives. Mr. Hill has, however, always been a stickler for “party regularity,” and it may be that he will, for that rea- son, decline to aid the insurgents. It would be, in The Farmer's opinion, an error of judgment, for anti-Cannonism has become a very important matter, The speaker blocks obstinately the wheels of progress; he has learned nothing for a score of years, and the republican party, never made a greater blunder than it did in giving him the second place in the - government.— Bridgeport Farmer.

Why Physicians Recommend Castoria ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, etc. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to It is used by physicians It is expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hail's Journal of Health.

GENUINE Dr. W. L. Leister, of Rogers, Ark., says : ‘“ As a practicing phy- sician I use Castoria and like it very much.” Dr. W, T. Beeley, of Amigy, N. Y., says: “Ihave used your Cas- toria for several jears in my practice and have found it a safe and =eliable remedy.” Or. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Ynez, Cal, says: * After using your Castoria for children for years it annoys me greatly to have an ignorant druggist substitute some- thing else, especially to the pa- tient's disadvantage, as in this case. 1 enclose herewith the wrapper of the imitation.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says : ‘‘ Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepa- rations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice be- cause I have found it to be a thor- oughly reliable remedy for chil- dren’s complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom- mendation of Castoria.” Dr. W. F. Wallace, of Bradford, N. H., says: “T use your Castoria in my practice. and in my family.” Or. Wm, I. McCann of Omaha, Neb., says : * As the father of thir- teen children I certainly know something about your great medi- cine and aside from my own family experience, I have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. Howard James, of New York, City, says : ““ 1t is with great pleas- ure that I desire to testify to the medicinal virtue of your Castoria. 1 have used it with marked benefit in the case of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent results from its administration to other children in my practice.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa., says : ‘‘The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy.” Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chica- go, I1L, says : “I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice and find it very satisfactory.” Dr. William Belmont, of Cleve- land, Ohio, says : * Your Castoria stands first in its class. ‘In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says : I prescribe your Cas- toria extensively as I have never found anything to equal it for ohil- dren's troubles, I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's.” . Dr. Channing H. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo., says: “I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great consideration in view of the fact that most medi- cines of this character are obmox- ious and therefore difficult of ad- ministration. As a laxative I consider it the peer of anything that I ever prescribed.” Dr. L. O. Morgan, of So. Amboy, N. J. says: ““I prescribe your Casto- ria every day for children who are suffering from constipation, with betger effect than I receive from any other combination of drugs.” Dr. H. J. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: ‘I have used your Casto- ria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and priv- ate practice for many years. The formula is excellent.” Dr. Wm, L. Bosserman, of Buf- falo, N. Y., says: “I am pleased to speak a good word for your Casto- ria. 1 think so highly of it that I not only recommend it to others, but have used it in my own family.” Dr. F. H. Kyle, of St. Paul, Minn,, says: “It affords me plea- sure to add my mame to the long list of thase who have used and now endorse your Casterin. The fact of the ingredients being known through the printing of the formuls on the wrapper is ome good and sufficient reason for the recom- mendation of any physician. I know of its geod qualities and re- commend it cheerfully.” ASK YOUR PHYSICIAN
