Redemption, Not STAY.

The following from the Kansas
Farmer is a carefully prepared argu-
ment on the much-discussed mortgage
law question that will be of interest to
our readers and meet the appreciation
of many:
The Kansas Farmer does not favor a
stay law, for that is of no practical ben
eft to debtors, and may be directly and
greatly injurious to the community in
general. Stay laws increase interest
rates and make borrowing difficult.
The people want cheap money and
plenty of it.
A redemption law is not a stay law;
it does not in any sense or to any de-
gree interfere with the remedy of fore
closure and sale of property: it only
permits the original owner to repur-
chase his old home on payment of the
judgment with costs and interest
added. The creditor goes ahead with
his suit, obtains judgment for the full
amount of the debt with costs of suit,
the court orders the property sold; if it
is appraised, the sale takes place i'm
mediately-after thirty days advertis-
ing, and the property must bring two
thirds Of the appraised value; if ap-
praisement is waived land it is in
nearly every case) the sale is postponed
six months, and the land goes for what
it will bring. In either case The credl-
tor may purchase the land if he so de-
sires, and he often does. 1t is at this
point, and not before, that the right of
redemption would apply. The sheriff
would not make a deed to the pur-
chaser until after the time for redemp-
ton has passed, and any time within
that period the original owner, on the
payment of the judgment in full, with
costs and interest may have the land
again. That is all there is of redemp-
tion, and while it in no way interferes
with the foreclosure of the mortgage
and sale of the property, so that the
creditor may have all it brings at public
sale, the debtor may be greatly bene-
fitted, as the following illustration
shows:
A borrows from B $1,000 at 10 per
cent. interest for five years and mort
cages farm worth, according to BIS
own estimate $1,000. At maturity of |
the note, a is unable to pay the debt,
suit is brought, judgment rendered for
principal, interest and costs-say in all
81 ,250-and the land is ordered sold.
Times are hard, farmers cramped on
account of short crops, land has little
value, the place sells for $500 and the
creditor or his agent buys it. Deduct
ing $500, what the land brought, from
81 ,250. the judgment, leaves $3.50 still
banging over the debtors head and it
may be collected from him if he is then
or ever afterwards worth that much,
His place was not in fact worth one
cent less to him because of hard times.
though its selling value was greatly re-
duced, and if he cannot redeem he is
to give to the creditor for
$500 farm which he, the creditor, ap- |,
praised at 5000 when he took it as |
security. for $1,000. If the property 1
brought only $500 because there were i
20 bidders except the creditor, that Il

Among Errors Ruinous to Health,

One of the most mischievOus and most com
mon is the indlscriminate and too frequent use
of purGatives. Such medicines, If well chosen
and scasonably resorted to, are certainly useful
but many persons select the worst f. from one
to the other, and employ them when there Is nc
occasion, or their utility has ceased. TO estab
fish on permanent basis a regular condition OF
the bowels, the finest Alternative is HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters. 1t is botanic In origin, and q
safe succedaneum for those Objectionable drugs,
caomel and blue pill; it does not grippe or drench
the bowels like the ordinaryevacuents, anu II

body, but remedies the disorder and inactivity
OF the liver aud stomach, which usually accom-.
pany that condition. Rheumatism, kidney
trouble, maarial complaint and nervousness are
removed by the Bitters.
