THE WILSON REQUEST FOR
REPEAL OF EXEMPTION—NEW
DECLARATION OF INDEPEN

TWELVE DEATHS
FOR EVERY DAY
Washington, March 20.—The Pro
gressives in Congress are practically
uni»«d against President Wilson’s
proposed repeal of the Panama Ca
nal tolls exemption. This fact was
nnounced today In a statement is
sued by Victor Murdock, the Pro
gressive leader in the House.
“We do not read the Hay-Paunce-
fote Treaty In a spirit of easy, over
anxious accomodation to Great Brit-
To us, it’s terms are explicit,'*
said the statement. “If dollar diplo
macy Is to be succeeded by a policy
of peace at any price, whereby our
domestic affairs are to wait for the
dictation of foreign ministers, then
the time has come for a new declara
tion of independence.”

.And Denial of Government
Interference is Made.
New York, March 21.—The sev
eral lines of business which have
been conducted by the American
Cotton Oil Company, will hereafter
be divided and they will be placed
under the control of three allied
ompanies, It. F. Munroe, President
of tl.e American Cotton Oil Com
pany announced today.
The American Cotton Oil Com
pany itself will conduct the busi
ness of refining and selling cotton
seed oil. The Union Seed and Fer
tilizer Company will attend to the
ginning, cotton seed oil mill and
fertilizer business, while the N. K.
Fairbanks Company will manufac
ture soaps, lard and the like. The
latter two are subsidiaries of the
American Cotton Oil Company.
Officials jC the company denied
that this ve-organlzatlon was con
nected In any way with the recent
reports that the government had
asked for a dissolution. They said
this latest move simply secure “a
more effective way of carrying on
the vast 'business.”
IN THE YEAR 1913 AMONG MIN*
KRS WAS THE RECORD WHICH
THIS COUNTRY HAS TO FACE,
SAY STATISTICS. %
Washington, March 21.—There
were twelve deaths among mine em
ployes for every working day in
1913, according to a report made
public by the Bureau of Mines to
day.
The total number of lives lost last
year in the United States, as a re
sult of mine accident was 2,785,
with a fatality rate of 3.82 for ev
ery thousand men employed.
The fatalities last year exceeded
by 425 those in 1912.
“We can find little comfort," says
Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, Director of
the Bureau of Mines, in a statement
accepting the report, # Mn the sug
gestion that this increase may be
in pert accounted for by the occur-
ance during the year of four large
mine explosions. The statistics show
an increase In fatalities from all
underground causes, except mine
fires and surface fires. • It is In
deed unfortunate that the safety in
quiries and investigations by the na
tional governet have lagged so far
behind the needs of this important
Industry and the public demand.”

When you have found no remedy for the horrors that
oppress you during change of life, when through the long
hours of the day it seems as though your hack would break,
when your head aches constantly, you are nervous, de
pressed and suffer from those dreadful bearing down pains,
don’t forget that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
is the safest and surest remedy, and has carried hundreds
of women safely through this critical period.
Read what these three women say:
From Mrs. Homung, Buffalo, N. Y.
Buffalo, N. Y.—“I am writing to let you know how much your
medicine has done for me. I failed terribly during the last winter
and summer and every one remarked about my appearance. I suf
fered from a female trouble and always had pains in my back, no
appetite and at times was very weak.
“ I was visit ing at a friend’s house one day and she thought I needed
I.ydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I took it and have gained
eight pounds, have a good appetite and am fueling better every day.
Everybody is asking me what I am doing and I recommend Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. You may publish this letter if you
wish and I hope others who have the same complaint will see it and
get health from your medicine os I did.”—Mrs. A. IIonxuNO, 91
