u IMMINENT.

The lame can be healed and the wounded
made whole. We now know just what the
Centaur tiniment will do. They will not
mend broken bones or cure Cancer. but they
will extract soreness, allay pain, cure Rheu-
matism and 4 large range of flesh, bone and
muscle ailments than any article ever before
discovered.
Scientific skill cannot go beyond the eff
fects of these remarkable preparations.-
Chronic rheumatism of many years standing,
Neuralgia, Weak Back, Fever Sores, Weeping
Sinews, Sciatica, Caked. Breasts, Distorted
Joints and Sprained Limbs of the worst kind
are cured by the White Centaur Linmcnt.
1t will destroy the pain and heal without
scar all ordinary Burns and Scalds. 1t will
extract the poison of Bites and Stings, and
the frost from Frozen Limbs. 1t is very eff
cacious for Ear-ache, Tooth-ache, Itch and
Cutaneous Eruptions.
Mr.. Josiah Westlakc, of Marysvile, Ohio,
writes:
'For many years my rheumatism has
been so bad that | have been unable to stir
from the house. The first three bottles of
Centaur Liniment enabled me to walk with
out my crutches ] am mending rapidly.

G. H. Bennett Druggist, Rock Prairie, Mo-,
says
"Centaur Liniment sells better and gives
the best satisfaction of anything in the mark

What the Centaur Liniment has done for
others it will do for you. 1t is handy. it is re-
liable, and it is cheap.
The Yellow Ccntaur Linimcnt
is worth its weight in gold to owners of hor

This Liniment has cured more Sprained

hand, said something to the querst, and IN

What War WilIDO.

There is a general impression that we are
to thrive by the misfortunes OF the people
over the water; and the outbreak Of the war
between Russia and Turkey has been hailed
in American commercial circles with some
thing like enthusiasm. II is well to consider
before we dream too long over our basket of
eggs and fall to dancing with joy, just how
much those eggs are worth in the market.
1t is true that if the European war lasts long
the armies will have to be fed, clothed, armed
and equipped, and that the tremendous
waste will necessitate frequent renewals of
supplies. We shall be called upon to fur
nsh much to the combatants, and il the war
Europe. A great market will be opened for
our breadstuffs and manufactures, our fur-
mace fires will be relighted, our looms set in
motion, and our vessels will seize the carry
ing trade of the world. All kinds of business
will be stimulated to wonderful activity, pro-
fits will be large, and labor fully employed.
This condition of affairs will last as long as
the war lasts, and when the war ceases the
great trade will collapse. We shall have
made much money and have spent the most
of it. The conflict will have SO exhausted
the combatants, so impoverished them, that
they will be STEPPED to the lips in poverty for
at least a generation to come. Vast amounts
of property will have been destroyed, much
accumulated capital swept out of existence,
and all Europe will be compelled to practice
the closest economy for many years. Our
market there will be closed, for the people
cannot afford to buy of US. Our transient
prosperity will have quickened speculation
and inflated values here, much of the money
earned will have been sunk in unproductive
enterprises and squandered in extravagant
living. The cessation of production and
shrinkage of values which will follow the
closing of the markets we have supplied so
long will paralyze industry and derange bus-
ness, and throw men out of employment and
into poverty. We cannot look for q Europe
an demand for our goods, for Europe will
have no money to spend. Our state after the
war will be as bad as our state to day. In
deed the depressed condition of business all
over the world now is with much reason as
cribed to the great wars of the last twenty
years. The business of war is to destroy
property, not to increase it.
This bad state is predicted if the war lasts
long. Should the conflict be short, and so
comparatively little property be destroyed,
the result will be 10 give us a market for our
surplus goods, and the consequent depression
will not be so long or widespread as to seri-
ously impoverish the great mass of our GUS
toners.

THE Secretary of the Treasury has ordered
the looking up of authority vested In Con-
gres to exercise exclusive control of the regu-
lation of coined metals. The opinion is held
in Washington that the states have no rights
whatever in the premises except in conform
ity with the national laws, and that any at.
tempt to force acceptance of subsidiary coin
as legal tender to an amount exceeding five
dollars, as authorized by act of Congress, will
result in a conflict between Federal and State
governments. In case the question is brought
to judicial decision the courts will, it is be-
lieved, sustain the Treasury Department in
the position it has taken.
