PROF. chs. LUDWIG Won SEEGER,
It's TO Your Interest

to bear in mind that one Benson's Capcine Plaster
is worth a dozen of any other porous plaster.
Benson plasters are genuine medicinal article,
endorsed and used by the medical profession from
Maine to California. They cure in a few hours
ailments which no other will even relieve. Cheap
and worthless limitations are sold by dealers who
care more for large profits on trash than
they do for the sweets of an improving con-
science Beware of them, and of the "Capucin, .
''Capscin," "Capscine" and 'Capscum" plasters
which they sell to the unwary. These names are
nothing but misleading variations on the name
"Capcine." Note the difference, go to reputable
druggists. and you will not be deceived. The gen
uine Benson's has the "Three Seals" trademark
and the word "Capcne" cut in the centre.

The greatest difference was observable
In the children as to their capacity to lift
their limbs and adjust their bodies. Some
OF the best formed girls seemed to nave
grown o large, and had no lift about
them, while other little things who would
not attract the eye at first were presently
seen to be graceful, Light and bright.
Here would be q tall girl with every en-
dowment for a favorite dancer; long,
straight nmbs, not too still or heavy, well
turned, flexible, and oil that would be
observable about her TO her prejudice was
a certain consumptlve pallor as II sho had
not the vital strength to keep the actiy-
ity up.
Again would be seen a girl of as mature
and intelligent a face as a woman, and
adapted like many other American faces
we see In New York people, to inspire re
spect, and almost wonder for Its highly
composed and subtle conditions. This
girl, 1t would be presently seen, had no
length Of limb, but was short from the
knee to the ankle, and might, therefore,
never command ths muscular length and
tension TO distinguish herself.
After we had looked at these girls for
half an hour l asked the teacher how
many Of them were Americans. He said
all but one or two were born in New
York; that a few were born OF foreign
parents, but that the most apt scholars
were the children Of Americans. He said
that he could teach the native children Of
American parent stock quicker than his
own country people.-"GathH In Cincin-
natl Enquirer.

II the doctors had to shed tears for every
patient, the fountain would soon be ex-
bausted. They experiment and diagnose
and make mistakes and lose patients, but
1t is all for the best. Somebody has to be
sacrificed or science would not progress.
The doctors experiment with disease and
skirmish with death just like the general
OF an army fights battles. Some must be
sacrificed to save the country, and 80
after q battle he counts up the killed and
wounded and is happy II he his killed
more OF the other side than he lost OF his
own. He likes to show a good balance
sheet, even though 1t Il a bloody one.
Victory and glory are bigger things than
human suffering or the grief OF tho loved
ones at home.
But still the family doctor Is a part OF
the f~amily-an honored part. We are
drawn to him as to n friend In need, and
he is drawn to us. He has enough sym
patty for his purposes. His tenderness
nay be professional, but 1t is the right
right kind for the patient. The doctor is
nearer and dearer to the family than the
preacher, although one ministers TO the
mortal body and the other to the i'm
mortal soul. Bodies are bigger things
than souls. The whole world with all its
vast machinery Is at work for bodies, but
the work done for souls is only u side
show in comparison. The family doctor
holds a higher place than the family law
yer, for health Is a bigger thing than
money or property, and there are but few
lawyers who would not take a case
against us as readily as one for US. There
are two sides to litigrtion but only one to

Or COURSE Mr., Sparks has not re-
signed. He knows a good thing whtn he
has it in his grip, and as he says, he 'ean
stand the pressure as long as his pay
goes on. Mr., Sparks is a statesman tor
salary only, and he will stick as long as he
is sure of getting his pay at the end of
every month. But his superiors should
keep a sharp eye on him. He has done a
great deal already to provoke needless
hostility to the administration and be has
done very little to promote the public
welfare. He is filed with the foolish
notion that every man who desires to
avail himself of the opportunity offered
to every citizen to take a quarter section
Of the public domain under the home
stead or prc-emption law, is n potential
thief, who is prepared to commit almost
any crime in order to defraud the govern
ment Acting on this absurd and de-
grading theory, Mr.. Sparks has issued
rulings and regulations which make it
practically impossible for citizen to avail
himself Of the benefits afforded by our
bene6cent land laws. 1t was never the
intention of congress or the country that
such a policy should be adopted regarding
land entries, and we do not think that
Mr.. Sparks should be allowed to make
himself the autocrat of the public domain.
If frauds have been committed let them
be pursued and punished, but give the
