rate for officers. Hundreds OF thousands
of men, relying upon the faith of the
United States, entered the army. A sol
dier's pay for one year would be $3.50 in
gold. But the soldiers were not paid in
gold. They received legal tenders, which
were worth, on the average, not toexceed
fifty cents on the dollar. In a year, there
fore, they obtained, in gold, not $l56, but
scarcely $50 in coin. In four years they
lost 1912. s3 - 4r
The Supreme Court Of the United States
has decided that contracts between par
ties, payable in gold, before the Legal
Tender Act was passed, can not be hqui-
dated in greenbacks, but must be satisfied
with coin. Apply this to the soldiers,
and we see where it leads. Upon what
principle of logic should it not be ap-
piled Shall the Government treat its
own creditors worse than the rule which
it lays down for private debtors 1t can
not. be sued, it is true, but then it is a
debt of honor, possessing more than legal
validity.
But here is the point which we desire
to make: The same party which insists
that the five-twenty bondholders shall
have gold for paper which they lent to
the Government, says that soldiers shall
have greenbacks, when it was agreed they
should have gold. 1t is snow you see it,
and now you don't see it." We are to

few, but are to fail in them 10 the manyi
BY vote of seventeen to fourteen, the
Republican State Senate of Ohio voted
down a resolution, introduced by Mr.
Jenner, asking that the Government shal
pay the soldiers according to their agree

repudiated both ways. Repudiate tn
promises to the soldiers against the sol
diers, and repudiate the promises to thu

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

''The life Of the flesh is in the Blood Is g
Scriptural msXim that science proves to be true.
This people talk of bad blood, as the cause Of many
diseases, and like many popular opinions this of
bad blood is founded in truth.
The symptoms Of bad blood are usually quite
plain-bad Digestion causes imperfect nutrition,
and consequently the circulation is feeble the soft
Tissues lose their tone and elasticity, and the
tongue becomes pale, broad, aud frequently COW
cred with pasty, white coat. This condition soon
shows itself in TOihRess of the skin then in ERUP
TIVE and LUCRATIVE diseases, and when long con-
tinued results in serious LESSONS Of the Brain, Liv
er, Lungs, or urinary apparatus. Much, very
much, suffering is caused by impure blood. It is
estimated by some that one-hfth of the human
family affected with scrofula IN some form.
When the blood is pure, you not so liable to
any disease Many impurities Of the Blood arise
from impure diseases Of large cities. Eradicate
every impurity from the fountain Of life and good

Almost nine-tenths Of our people suffer from
nervous exhaustion, and are, therefore, liable to
It's concomitant evils OF mental depression, con-
fused ideas softening of the brain, insanity, and
complete breaking down of the general health.
Thousands are suffering to-day with broken-down
nervous systems, and, unfortunately, tobacco,
alcohol late hours, over-work, (mentsl and physi-
ca) are causing diseases of the nervous system to
increase at fearful ratio.
The SYMPTOMS to which diseases of the nervous
system give rise, may be stated as follows:
dull heavy feeling in the head, sometimes more or
less severe pain headache; Periodical Headache,
Dizziness, Noises or Ringing in the Head; Confu-
sion of Ideas; Temporary Loss of Memory; De
lection of Spirits; Starting during Sleep; Bad
Dreams; Hesitation In Answering Questions;
Dizziness of Hearing; Twitching Of the Face and
Arms, ETC.. which, if not promptly treated lead to
Paralysis, Delrium, Insanity, Impotency, Apo
pIexy, etc, etc.
