Emily James Cure for Dyspepsia

Sufferer, I cured dyspepsia that
I had had since childhood, by pay
ing strict attention to hygiene. 1
took no medicine. I had been do
ing that for years before, with on
ly temporary relief. I drank a
goblet Of fresh milk every day,
adding a tablespoonful of lime
water. I used milk in various
ways, always using that proportion
of lime init l occasionally took
a teaspoonful of milk of magnesia
in little water if my stomach was
sour. For constipation 1 used a
half cup of bran filed up wit boil
ing water, strain, (or eat the bran
too if the stomach will bear it, J
add a spoonful common molasses,
eat or drink it before breakfast. /
used sponge bath every day; add
a handful of salt to the water and
warm it slightly, rub vigorously
after. Never bathe sooner than
two hours after eating, before
breakfast is the best time. 1 rode
horseback, rode in carriage, or
walked a mile or two every day. [
ate roast beef, roast or boiled NUT
ton, (never any gravy boiled
chicken, boiled rice, boiled homi-
ny with milk over. Never anything
fried. Never any kind of hot
bread or cake. Bread two days
old. 1 ate plenty cooked fruit, new
er any raw. Of course l never
toucked cake, pastry, nuts, cheese,
ice cream, and I never touched a
mouthful Of anything between
meals, and never later than six p.
m. For a year I did not drink at
meal time. Two hours after L
drank cocoa OF hot water, never tea
or coffee. Made it a rule to go
away from the table almost hun
CRY, so [ did not commit that fatal
error of overlooking my stomach.
[ adhered to these rules for two
years, when I considered myself
well. Now ten years since) I can
eat almost anything and do not
suffer at all.

The Labor party Of New York,
encouraged by the large vote cast
for Mr.. George, has already taken
steps to form a thorough and per-
manent organization, with view
to future operations in &he politics
of that city and state. 1t is the
general impression that Mr.. George
will be nominated for Presi-
dent in 1883, and it is easy to see
that such movement may have a
very important effect. The boast
that "a new party has been born
may not be justifable; bnt it is
certainly true that a new political
influence has been evoked which
it will not do to overlook in calcu-
lations concerning the next great
struggle for the control OF national
affairs.-Globe Democrat.

DEALING IN FUTURES.


When the grain crop of the
United States is short it is looked
upon, not only by the farmer, but
by the business world, as n calami-
ty. However, let the grain crop
be short or abundant, the dealers
in options or Futures" as they
are called, prevent the farmers re-
alizing what would be a just price
as governed by the law of supply
and demand. In these sales thou
sands of busheles of grain are sold
that has never been grown, and
the markets are overstocked and
prices paralyzed by grain that has
never been produced. So exten-
sively are the markets con-
troled by dealers in futures, that
not only farmers, but the business
men, outside Of spectators on
change, have come to look with
some degree of alarm as they con-
template the result to which this
method of doing business must
inevitably lead. But as alarming
as dealing in grain futures may be
to the business world, the system of
dealing in political futures can be
no less alarming to tbs political
world. By it, honest and true men
are sacrificed, and principle mur-
dered in cold blood. Take for ex-
ample, congressional district that
is democratic, with two or three
republican counties therein; each
{ these counties ha. at least one
postmaster that must be appoint
ed by the President beside other
minior Offices. 1t is the general
impression among both democrats
and republicans that two years
hence the administr alton will
change. If such should be the case
the democratic postmasters will be
relieved of Office at once, as will
every Office holder within the ap-
pointive power of the president
Now comes in the deal in 'fu-
lures" Men who have always
claimed to be strong party men will
at once step up and sell their pow
er and influence in the party to
which they claim to belong, in ex-
change for the power of the Con-
gresham or other officials who
can in any way influence the ap.
pointments of the president, AID
where ever this game has beer
played it is fact beyond: contra.
diction that the post-masters anc
other appointive officers, will be
selected by these dealers in futures
and SO strong do these methods
of gambling in political futures
make the combination, that it vii
be impossible for any other aspir
ants to obtain these positions.

BosToN, MASS, June l5.-The North

this morning adopt. d the report Of
the Committee on Prac ical Gymna =
tics, recommending that the German
language be used in class instructions I;
that the professional teachers be utl-
lied in physical exercises, but be al
lowed to compete for prizes only when
the competition is OF an inielle tual
character; IN the report of the Tech
nical Committee on Aesthetic Culture
receive the especial attention Of

OF annual festivals be done away with.
The Committee on Intellectual Effort
presented a majority and minority re-
port, ohIon cling an unusual amount
OF intellectual activity. In regard 10
tn roposal OF the Lake Erie District, to
appoint an agita;or TO traverse the
country, delivering addresses at the
different unions, the committee recon-
mended the utilization OF money, re-
served in various ways, with view to
promoting the intellectual work Of the
unions. Too great a change in the DE-
rection Of subslitu ing the English
Language for the German language wss

differed from the ms joriiy in the sng-
ular particular Of recommending Eng
lieh for instruction in the gYmnastic
exercises OF the turner's.

the time prescribed by the act was
not in accordance with law; that the T
seton was therefore void; that the
failure OF the government officers to
discharge their duty according TO law
could be no estbppel, either legal or
equitable, upon the government, and
the Congress could not now refuse to
forfeit all the unearned landS, mas
much as Congress was not dealing
with lis own property, but with the
properly Of the people Of the United
States. As to the Argument in favor
of equitable estoppsl, Senator George
maintsinad il to be equivalent TO Fay
ing that whenever a railroad company
could corrupt the government officers
in order 20 induce them to fail in the
performance OF their duty, then that
such corrupt failure was 10 be binding
on the people Of the United States.
This would be monstrOus doctrine.
He analysed at length the decisions OF
United States Supreme Court to sup
port various Joints in his argument.
Senator George finally contended
that under the granting act the power
Of Congress was ample, and its duty
plain, to take pos ession Of the North.

either sell it or do with it as Congress
might otherwise see fit, in order TO
complete the line OF road for the build
