I would advise everyone affected in any way with nervousness or stomach trou bles, to leave off coffee and use Pos tum Food Coffee.” “There's a Rea son.” Road, “The Road to W’ell viUe.” in pkgs. NEW-COMERS WELL TRIATED Belgian Representative at Wash ington Makes Investigation. VISITS SOUTH CAROLINA Peports of Dissatisfaction Anting Newly Arrived immigrants Exaggerated, Says Baron Mcncneur. Baron Moncheur, the Belgian min ister, who has just returned to Wash ington from a visit to bouth Caro lina, where he went to investigate the condition of the Belgians who came over on the Wittekind, finds the south a good place for his peo ple. He finds, after ten days of investi gation, that the reports of dissatis faction have been exaggerated, and that the Belgian immigrants are very well satisfied and have no complaint to make. The baron commented on the lower wage scale in the south as being the only possible ground for dissatisfaction. His investigations did not cover the cheap cost of living in the south, and he was not prepared to say that lower prices of com modities balanced lower wages. In the party brought over by Com missioner E. J. Watson, of South Carolina, last winter there were about 300 Belgians, who are now employed in the cotton mills, and in various trades fn South Carolina. Since then South Carolina and other southern states have sought to induce new im migrants, and particularly Belgians, to come in. Speaking of these Belgians in South Carolina, Baron Moncheur said: “I saw all of them except a few who are scattered, and they had very lit tle complaint to make of the treat ment which they are receiving. Of course, there are a few who are not satisfied, but they are very few. I visited them at their work in the cot ton mills, and they told me that they were pleased with their labors and the treatment given them. “I have no criticism to make of the work they are doing in the mills. It is not hard work at all, and they make very fair wages. It is the kind of work which would suit a large number of our people, especially those having families. A boy or a girl 12 to 14 years of age and upward can easily make 50 cents a day and more in the mills. “Of course, the masons and car penters earn better wages. Those who come over and follow these trades, are experienced men, and good, steady workmen. They find plenty of work to do, and are paid well, as I have found. ‘‘lt would be a great deal better if there were a good sized colony in the state, such as there is near Roch ester, N. Y. Our people there are getting along nicely, and are satis fied, and it is particularly because a number of them are together.” Concerning those who left South Carolina dissatisfied, Baron Moncheur said that the number was not very large. ‘‘Those who left would proba bly not have been satisfied under any circumstances,” he said. ‘‘The propor tion that has left South Carolina dis satisfied is not any greater than that which has left other states. We have had some complaints from the immi grants who went there, but not many. On the whole, they have gone to work there aud are contented.” Several reports have been circulat ed since the Baron returned to Wash ington to the effect that he was ad vising, or had advised his people against going to the south on account of the negro. Baron Moncheur said that this was entirely erroneous. “I see no reason why the negro should deter anybody. My observation is the white people and the negro in the south do not associate, either so cially or at work. They do not work together in the cotton mills or in any other industry. The one way in which the negro is at all to be considered in this connection is that the ne groes in the cotton fields and else where on the farm can work for cheaper wages than our people, and hence our people could scarcely ex pect to compete with these laborers on the farm. Otherwise, the negro has nothing to do with the case, and if you hear that I have advised any of our people not to go south, you may say for me that it is simply not sa I have never advised anything of the kind anywhere.” Population of District of Columbia. A police census just completed at Washington gives the population of the District of Columbia as 329,591, of whom 96,135 are negroes. BLAST DISASTER. Premature Explosion Buns i reight Tram Into a Cr-ex, ixilis several Work men and Wrecks Buildings. A Chattanooga special say 3: Three men killed outright, three others so seriously injured that they will die, and two others badly injured in ad dition to the crashing of a Southern railway freignt engine and eleven cars through a bridge into Chattanooga creek and the destruction of three residences and a pile driver nearby, was the result of a premature explo sion at 3:40 o’clock Thursday aiter noon of a blast at the foot of Look out mountain on the Stevenson exten siu which is being constructed by W. J. Oliver & Cos. The bridge was crushed in by sev eral tons of rock hurled by the blast just as the Southern railway freight train No. 11 was going on the bridge. Other pieces of rock hurled for four hundred yards crashed through the pilot of the pile driver of the Nash ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis rail road, which was at work driving piles in Chattanooga creek for anew via duct, killing Engineer Shaefer and Fireman Hyder instantly. Other pieces of rock hurled five and six hundred yards struck the res idences on the side of Lookout moun tain, crashing through the roof and floors of the buildings. Several men who were working on the new line some distance from the blast, were struck by flying pieces of rock. Two of them are at the hospital in a serious condition. The blast was set off by J. Ford, a powder man for the Yarnell Broth ers, contractors for Oliver, against the instructions of the contractors. He had only been employed by the com pany for a short time. At a late hour he could not be located. The blast was one of the heaviest ever used oy work in this section of the country. No warning was given to the residents in the vicinity or to the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad, whose property was destroyed. ON BRIBERY CHARGE Mayor and Street Railway Officials in ’Frisco are Indicted—Result of Abe Ruef’s Confession. A San Francisco special says: Abra ham Ruef Thursday made good his declaratioh of Wednesday that he would, following his change of plea of guilty in the extortion case against him, turn state’s evidence and assist the bribery graft prosecution in its campaign against municipal corrup tion. Ruef, obeying a subpena from the grand jury, served upon him at the Fillmore street prison house shortly before 3 o’clock, went in the charge of Special Agent Burns, Elisor Biggy and another guard to the grand jury chamber, where he took the witness stand and submitted to an examina tion that lasted from 3:20 o’clock- un til after 5 p. m. When the ordeal was over he called the newspaper men around him and said that he had promised the grand jury to divulge nothing. District At torney Langdon and Assistant District Attorney Heney refused to make auy statement whatever. From Special Agent Burns it was learned that the only matter in which Ruef was ques tioned was the alleged bribing of Mayor Schmitz and eighteen super visors by the United railroads to grant to that corporation a change in its franchise allowing the electrifying of its 250 miles of street railway system. If Burns’ understanding of Ruef’s testimony is correct the fallen boss told the grand jury that President Patrick Calhoun, Assistant President Mullaly, Chief Counsel Ford and As sistant Counsel Abbott of the United Railroads, paid or caused to be paid the sum of $200,000 for the provision named; that $61,000 of this amount was Ruef’s ‘‘fee;” that $50,000 went in*to the pocket of Mayor Schmitz and that the remaining $60,000 was hand ed to the eighteen supervisors, six teen of them receiving $4,000 each, another demanding and getting $lO,- 000 and Chairman Galagher of the finance committee, being paid $15,000 for acting as go-between.

It is astonishing how great a change a few years of married life often make in the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, tho charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often come with mar riage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of its freshness and the form of it fairness.
