A Helm to Good Digestion,

In the British Medical Journal DR.. W. Rob
erts, of England, discusses the effect of
liquors, tea, coffee and cocoa on digestion.
All of them retard the chemical processes,
but most of them stimulate the glandular
activity and muscular contractions. Dis
titled spirits retard the salivary or peptic
digestion but slightly when sp,aringly used.
to salivary digestion. On peptifc digestion
all wines exert q retarding influence. They
stimulate the g%landular and muscular &C
tivity of the stomach. E"fervescent wines
exert the greatest amount of good with
the least harm to digestion. When one's
digestion is out of order everything goes
awry, unless, as in the case of T. I. Seals,
of Bellaire, Ohio, who had had bad dys-
peepsia for seven years, the digestive sappaar-
Warmers T~ippecanoe, the best appetite
producer and regulator in the world.
Tea, even in minute quantities, complete
ly paralyzes the action of thetsaliva. The
tannin in strong, tea is injurious. Weak

A Satisfactory Translation.

The Dublin MnU recently published the
following communication from a CORE
spondent: I enclose a copy Of an inscrip-
ton in medieval Latin from a stone discov-
cred during the excavations now proceed
ing at Cork Hill, near which stood church
dedicated to a saint and missionary known
to the chroniclers by the name OF Uncatus
Ambulans. The inscription is as follows:
"I'SAB1LLI-HERES' AGO

Upon this the Frccdman's Jourqual OBJ
serves that, though not yersed in antiquar-

suit all purposes. Here it is:

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
Interview with MIR. Wilson Soule, q Large
Representative Advertiser, as to Its BEN
efts.
From the New Haven Comm Su,dau Union,
Oct. IL, 1885,.
MI. Wilson Soule, Secretary and Treas
urer of the Hop Bitters Manufacturing
Company, has been spending the last two
days here, arranging his advertising mat
tiers, and was interviewed by a UNION re-
porter as to the results and the worth of
newspaper advertising. He said that for
the four years previous to 1878 they spent
oil their money in bill posting and circu-
lars, from which they received no profit; in
fact, they got back just about half what it
cost them for making the medicine and
printing and distributing the circulars.
In the spring of 1878 they placed an ad-
vertising order Of $4,000 with H. P. Hub
bard, of New Haven. The results were
sales Of 100000. They increased the ad-
vertising the following year to 100000, the
spent $4,000, with s4S0.000 sales, and the
next year the expenditure was slightly in
creased, as also the sales. They argue from
this tAat nothing 6xt simon pure newspaper al

The steady drift of population
westward is curiously illustrated
by the new census OF Iowa. While
the cities have grown rapidly dur
ing the past five years, the agricul-
tur;ll population has increased but
Slowly, and the whole number of
inhabitants in the State has grown
only from 1,642,Gl5 to 1,735,9SO
since 1880. In many of the older
settled parts there has been All
actual falling off in population,
which is chiefly due to emigration.
Time was, and not so many years
ago either, when Iowa was "way
out West" the limit of civilized
settlement. Now Iowa has become
one of the central States of the
Union, and her people "move West"
by thousands every year, sss their
ancestors did when they went from
the East to Iowa one or two gener.
ations ago. In Dakota are found
many settlements composed EN-
tirely Of Iowans, who have gone
out in colonies, tempted by tue
cheaper lands. Others have push
ed on across the Continent, and
are found in considerable numbers
OH the Pacific Coast. Washington
Territory reports 13O,465 inhabit-
ants tins year, against 1915 in
1880. and the rapid growth is
largely due to emigration thither
from the Upper Mississippi and
Ohio Valleys. After u. while the
very furtheSt West will be we'll set
tied, and then it will be found that
there is vast area of fertile land
in snch central States as Iowa, that
have never begun to support the
great population which it is capable
OF maintaining.

were soon chatting gayly again.
That evening about q dozen
young people were gathered in
Miss sSo1thwell's pleasant parIors.
Miss HigleS had arrived early
with her two cousins, and shortly
after two or three other friends
dropped in, for Misc Southwell'S

help entertain the company, which
none could do better than he.
The evening passed pleasantly
away, while they played games,
sing and danced by turns.
Miss Higley, who admired Al
fred intensely, and who had allowed
herself, in spite Of the difference in
their ages, to entertain hopes in
that direction, marked with dis.
pleasure how friendly he and his
fair cousin had become. Toward
the close of the evening they
danced together, and her eyes fol
lowed them Indignantly as, the
dance over, they retreated to a cor
ner of a room and seemed absorbed
in conversation.
"They are polite to desert their
company that way!" she said, with
a sneer, to her cousin, George Lane.
"Why, they've been dong their
best to entertain us all the evening,
and the company seen happy
