Centre, Mich.:- g.,
Liver complaint and indigestion
made my life . burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost 70 a skeleton, and hardly
had strength TO drag myself about. All
kinds OF food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use OF Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing 10 take the Sarsapa-
rilla could see an Improvement ia my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with 1t came the ability to digest
all tho food taken, my strength Inn

ALL IN GOOD TIME.

One-cent postage is coming, but the
time for it has not yet arrived. Post
master General Wanamaker's report
plainly shows that a reduction of letter
postage to one-half the present rate
would result in large annual deficit.
Taking into account and estimating at a
liberal figure the probable increase in
the number of letters, he still declares
that the introduction of the one-cent rate
now would reduce the revenue from
letter postage by at least SO .000.000
I'VE are not ready for this, says the
head of the postal department, while
the present deficiency exists. Penny
postage should not require a tax in some
other form TO make up its cost. Numer-
Gus reforms throughout the mail service
are earnestly demanded. The whole
system needs tightening up and vitaliz-
ing. We must needs work in that direc-
ton for year or two, and try to reach
something near self-sustaining basis.
Accelerating and extending facilities in
all directions would increase the revenue
and rapidly bring US on toward penny
postage. The new postal card of large
size, very soon to be issued, is almost
large enough to be called letter postal
card. 1t is as near penny postage as we
can get at present.
There are now in the employ of the
postal department 150,935 people. and
the growth OF the postal business in the
past fifteen years is concisely given in the
following table:

KANSAS AND THE SUPREME BENCH

Kansas has at last been recognized by
President Harrison in the nomination of
David ]. Brewer for the supreme bench.
In the state convention in 1870 Brewer
was nominated for associated justice of
the supreme court of Kansas which was
the first time he became known to the
state at large, although he had been on
the district bench of Leavenworth
previous to that time. He was appoint
ed to the United States circuit bench by
Arthur, which place he still holds. He
was borne in 1887 and is in his fifty-sec-
ond year. coming to this state in 1858.
we believe, or thirty-one years ago. He
is thorough Kansan and is known per-
sonally to all the prominent living men
of all her past history.
