caused by All accident of fractured bones
which fracture ran into running. sore, and

Of your valuable medicine which Mr. Miller the
apotoecary recommended very highly. The

Your most obedient servant,
ALBERT Won ROEDER
at is unnecessary for me to enumerate the
diseases for which the Vegetine should be used
] know Of no disease which will not admit gifts
use, with good results. Almost innumerabe
complaints are cause by poisonous storeiions
in the blood which can be entirely expelled
fIom the system by the use of the Vegetine.
When the blood is perfectly cleansed, the dis.
ease rapidly yields; all pains cease; healthy
action is promptly restored, and the patient IL
cured.

Liver Is King.

The liver is the imperial organ of the whole
human system. as it controls the life, health
and happiness ofman. When it is disturbed IN
its proper action, all kinds Of ailments are the
natural result. The digestion of food. the
movements of the heart and blood, the action OF
the brain and nervous system, are all immedi-
ately connected with the workings ofthe Liver.

The Doorkeeper Scandal.

The senate and house of representatives
seem to be greatly troubled over the
patronage of their respective houses. The
republicans Of the former have had MIR.
French, their sergeant-at-arms,w who makes
all the appointments of a certain class,
several times under discipline in cancus,
upon charges Of malfeasance in office,
instigated, it is said, by ambitious pa
triots who desire to serve their country on
the pay and picklngs of his profitable
place. And now the house of representa-
tives has ordered an investigation into
alleged abuses OF their doorkeeper, Mr..
Polk, on serious charges formulated under
oath, the truth Of which remains to be
proved.
1t is undoubtedly the fact that the pa
tronage of both chambers is largely in
excess of their needs, and that these
abuses are sanctioned for the convenience
and ease of senators and representatives,
who utilize clerks and messengers and
laborers as private secretaries, and in
other capacities not contemplated by law.
By conventional rule in the appropria-
ton bills, each house is allowed TO deter
mine the number and pay of its own EN-.
p!oyees. Some idea Of the extent of this
extravaganza may be formed from the
circumstance that in the last congress the
cost OF employees in the senate and for
contingent expenses aggregated $3.50, 1926.

dennltely the limit Of persons to be EN-.
ployed, 1t Is constantly evaded by resolu

tions.
The New York and Boston papers have
fallen into the habit of assuming that,
while the whole West and part of the
South are given over to the financial
heresies" involved in the silver bill, the
Eastern states are solid in defence of gold
payment. But the late vote in the house
on the Matthews resolutions does not
bear out the assumption. An analysis
showes that the Eastern states give 20
votes for them viz: Connecticut. /:
Massachusetts, 1; Now jersey /; Penn
sylvania, ID; New York, 8. The same
states give IS against them. The fifteen
Southern states give rs for and against
them; the eleven Western states gave 81
for and against them; and the three
Pacific states gave 4 for and against
them. The Democrats gave lie votes for
and % against the resolutions; and the
Republicans give IA for and SO against,
1t is thus seen that, not only was there a
twothirds majority of all the votes cast in
| favor of the resolutions, but a majority OF
the geographical sections, majority of the
Democrats and majority of the Republi-
cans were in favor of them. The New
York papers are urging the dissemination
of sound money ideas among the ignorant
people of the West and South; but they
had better begin at home, and convert
their own heretics first The silver idea
is making some Roadway in the East; the
gold idea is making none in the West and
| South. st L. Rep.

Let Shylock have his pound of flesh
but not one drop of blood.

1t is pretty generally insisted, and con-
coded, that any legislation that tends to
impair the obligation of contract is wrong,
and not only wrong but void. Well, then.
isn't a law that impairs the obliga-
ton of a contract against the debtor
just as wrong as law that impairs the
obligation of contract against creditor ?
The bonds of the United States, when is
sued, were made payable in lawful money,
and the money that was lawful when
this contract was made was greenbacks.
The law in force at the making of contract
must govern the contract, else contracts
could be altered, destroyed impaired, "
and rendered nugatory by subsequent
legislation. If these propositions be true
then all laws making bonds payable in coin
or gold, or anything but lawful money,
at the time the debt was contracted are null
and void. Peoria Dem.
