South Carolina Congressman Says the
Northern Stales Are More Favored.
Congressman Asbury F. Lever of
South Carolina, scores the poatofflce
department for partlsanlsm In the
distribution of rural mall routes. In
a speech In congress this week he
said:
In the 12 so-called southern states,
with a population of 21.713.000, In
round numbers, there were in oper
ation on January' 2, 1906, 8695 rural
mall routes, while In the four rla'.es
of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Kansas,
with a population of 11.038.000, n
round numbers, there were In opera
tlon on the same date, 8510.
These four states, with only half
the population, have as many routes
In operation as all of the southern
states combined. In the south there
Is a rural route In operation for every
500 of Its population, while In the
four states mentioned there Is a route
In operation for every 1400 of popula
tlon. The state of Kansas, as rock-
ribbed and everlasting In her republl
canlsm as South Carolina Is In her
democracy, and with a population of
only 130.000 more than South Caro
Una, had In operation 1555 routes, as
against 532 for South Carolina a
difference of over 1000 routes In favor
of republican Kansas.
In South Carolina there is only one
rural route for every 2500 of popula
tlon. while the unit of population for
rural service In Kansas Is only 950
and the density of population of
South Carolina is greater, by far. than
that of Kansas. Republican Okla
homa. with a population of only 398,
000. has In operation 594 routes 62
routes more than In my own state of
South Carolina with a population
four times as great.

At this time Doan's Kidney Pills were

A cold in the head is a common ailment, wnuviir ,,v"

mucous membranes, or inner lining of the body, become inflamed and secrete
a filthy, unhealthy matter which is absorbed by the blood and soon produces-
that disgusting disease, Catarrh. Then follow the -unpleasant symp

become diseased from the constant '

most drea'led and fatal of all diseases, Consumption. The only way to get
rid of Catarrh permanently is to cleanse the blood, and S. S. S. is the ideal
remedy lor mis purpose. It soon clears the
system of all impurities, purges the blood of all
Catarrhal matter and poisons, and effectually
checks the progress of this dangerous and far
reaching disease. S. S. S. keeps the blood in
perfect order so that Catarrh cannot remain; and
as this pure, healthy blood goes to every nook
and corner of the body, the entire system is strengthened and invigorated, and
the symptoms all pass away. Hook with information about Catarrh and med
