" Somo years ngo Iliad womb troublo and doctored for n long time, not see ing nny improvement. At times I would feel well enough, and other times was miserable. So it went on until last October, I felt something terrlblo creeping over me, I knew not what, but kept getting worse. I can hnrdly explain my feelings at that time. I was so depressed In spirits that I did not wish to live, although I had everything to Hvo for. Had hys teria, was very nervous; could not sleep and was not safo to bo left alone. " Indeed, I thought I would loso my mind. No ono knows what I endured. " 1 continued this way until tho last of Febrnary, when I saw In n paper a testimonial of a lady whoso case was similar to mine, and who had been cured by Lydla E. Plnlcham's Vegeta ble Compound. I determined to try It, nnd felt bettor after tho first dose". I continued taking it, and to-day am a well woman, and can sav from mv heart, 'Thank God for such a medl cine.'"

Respectfully yours, W. S. Millar. Krcmont Stokes, W. A. Haub. THE FAVORITES. Judging from the opinions expressed In and about the reviewing stand af ter all the companies had passed by, il was probable that the Centuries would get the plum.

An allowance of 20 per cent, was made for each point consid ered, a total of 100 per cent.

WESTMINSTER L,i Machinery Versus Hand Unscien tific Methods Still Employed In China nnd Japan Whicli Are a Menace to Health. Of recent years much has been writ ten of tho various methods In voguo In tea-Browing countries of preparing tea for market, und from a health standpoint It has como to be a matter of much Interest to tho consumer of tea. The matter has been discussed hy medical journals nil over the coun try, nnd upon Investlpratlon they have shown hy reference to the reports of consular ngents, published by author ity of tho United States Department of Agriculture, that the mode of prepar ing tea In China and Japan Is not only unheplthy, but uncleanly ns -well. Tho trouble In those countries Is that tho tea Industry Is a household Industry; It Is not conducted on a larco scale. That Is to nny, the tea gardens aro small, consisting of a few acres, whllii In f'eylon and India the reverso Is tho case, the gardens covering hundreds of acres. In the former tho work la of necessity done by hand, as It does not pay to uso expensive machinery where In Individual cases only smalt quan tities of tea aro to be i oiled, dried, fired, etc. This cnrrlcs with It all tho uncleanly and unpleasant features in cident to tho old manner of manipu lating tea by hand. There Is little doubt that the discus sion of this matter had much to do with the recent legislation that has perforce stopped the Importation of much Impure and unwholesome ten, but legislation here cannot stop the method of prepnrlng tea In foreign countries. All wo can do here H su pervise, and while tea which has a crtaln percentage of dust (shown by a sieve test) or which contains a cer tain percentage of extraneous matter (shown by a chemical test) cannot come into tho country, the law does not keep out the sweat-tnlnted and dirt laden teas, the condition of which is entirely due to tho manner of prepara tion. Mrs. Boardmnn, a correspondent of the Brooklyn "Standard Union," trav eling through Ceylon and t. , has written a series ot interesting letters about the cultivation and preparation of tea as scientifically done in Ceylon nnd India. Sho has described the whole process, and shows that, except when the leaf is plucked green by comely young women, It Is never touched by human hand, and It is not too much to expect, she says, that "the Ingenuity of planters In Ceylon and India will before long evolve a prarAlcnl picking midline. Unclean hands und feet have no part In tho preparation of Coylon and India tea, which finds its way to tho world's breakfast, lunch and dinner table." A gentleman traveling in the interest of the company which bears tho name of tho man pre-eminent in matters per taining to electricity gives some de tails regarding the other side, and what a contrast It makes! How It must strike the lady who Is so "nice" that she will not send her clothing to a Mongolian laundry! He soys, In part, as he had read much of the discussion about tea, that while In Yokohama he visited one of the drying rooms and saw the actual work. "The tea Is placed In copper pans over charcoal fires In a room which, considering the number of people employed, is much too small from a sanitary standpoint, and the work Is done by women In a more or less unclothed condition, .with babes on their backs, with hero and there a youngster lying on tea already dried, bawling luatlly for Its dinner. Tho temperature of the room was very high, and as I stood by and saw the perspir ation drop from the bodies of the wo men as they 'worked' tho tea with sweaty and dirt-stained hands I won dered what unfortunate '"ould have to partako of that feast. They told me that If I went back a few miles in the Interior I could see the other processes, I but I had seen sufficient. When I aues- Cor. Sixteenth St. and Irving Place, NEW YORK.
