the Record.
Berlin, April S. One of the most
curious cases of red tape has devel
oped from a case In bankruptcy at
Duesseldorf, In which the German
pi-Biai administration ilgured as a
creditor for the amount of 25 cents,
a claim for unpaid telephone
chaarges.
The dividend declared was about 7
cents to every $5, and thus the post
office became entitled to 1 i-S of a
pfennig In German money. Concern
ing this claim six volumnlous letters
nave been written by the postal auth
orities to the official receiver in the
bankruptcy, necessitating as many re
plies, and the end is not yet. The
receiver Is at a loss how to transmit
the exact sum of 1 2-3 pfennig, and
the postal administration declines to
write off as a bad debt anything but
the precise amount, including the
fraction. There Is every Drosnect nf
a voluminous dossier accumulating In
this protentlous matter.

man of New York Old Officers of
Committee will Retire.
Washington, D. C, April 4. The
men who will bo entrusted with the
management of the republican con
gressional campaign this year will be
selected tonight at a Joint caucus of
tne republican mombers of the sen
ate and house of representatives. The
election of the new officers of the
committee will not take place at this
caucus, but the various state delega
tions will report the selection of a
representative on the committee of
each stute. These committeemen will
then hold a caucus to determine on
their own officers and executive com
mittee. If the slate Is adopted as at present
framed by the republican leaders, the
committee will bo In charge of prac
tically an entirely new set of officers.
An effort undoubtedly will be made at
the caucus to persuade the officers
who served In previous years to con
tinue to serve In the coming cam
paign, but their is no likelihood that
this will change their determination.
Representative Babcock of Wisconsin
long ago announced his determination
to retire from the chairmanship and
Representative Overstreet of Indiana,
who for eight years has been secre
tary, and W. B. Thompson of Michi
gan, treasurer, have likewise pre
pared their resignations.
Unless all signs full the chairman
ship will go to Representative James
S. Sherman of New York. Mr. Sher
man has been vice-chairman of the
committee for eight years, and has
rendered valuable service in conduct
ing previous campaigns. To succeed
Mr. Sherman as vice-chairman of the
committee. It is likely that Represen
tative Tawncy of Minnesota will be
chosen. He has done efficient work
In western campaigns, and his serv
ices always have been greatly in de
mand as a campaign organizer and
stump speaker. For the place of sec
retary, the most likely candidate ap
pears to be Representative Albert F.
Dawson of Iowa, a new member of
the house. Mr. Dawson has directed
the speakers' bureau for the republi
can state committee In Iowa, and be
fore his election to congress he was
for six years secretary to Senator
Allison and gained much experience
in western campaigns.
THREEFACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider
Fibst. That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, Irregular
and painful periods, displacements
oi me lemale organs, pain in the aide,
burning sensation in the stntnooh
bearing-down pains, nervousness, dls-
amen ana sleeplessness.
Sbcond. The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Co
It regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases ot the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
Tvutucu w ma strong, curing Dacuache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inflam
mation of the female ortrana. weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. It has also proved itself
luvBiuaois in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
Third. The rreat volume nt nnan.
lid ted and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give ab
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to Women. Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
Srompuy communicate with Mrs. Pink
am, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter-in-law
of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad
visingsick women free of charge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she does not take
advantage of this generous offer of
assistance.

ARE YOU TIRED OF PAYING
BLUNDER TAXES"
n
Many a business man pays as much money for the luxury of blunder
ing as a steam yacht, or a private touring car would cost.
"Blunder Taxes" cannot be evaded whatever else waits, these must be
paid. If a business man gets Into the habit of making the same blunders
more than once, the taxes will soon amount to confiscation
"Bl nder Taxes" are levied with amazing frtq-ency upon store adver
tisers. Among the blunders which are assessed at "full value" In adver
tising are these: ,
Selection of poor mediums.
Using too little space In good mediums.
Detotlng less attention to preparing t .0 dally sore advertisement than
to the storing of some empty boxes Jn the basement.
stopping the ad altogether for one or more dnys now and then.
Figuring the advertising appropriation on the basis of what you can
'afford" after all other expenses are provided for.
The use of "programs," schemes, circulars, posters, fence-signs, pla
cards and Jim-cracks, under the Impression that you re securing real pub
