ALL SUMNER"

The bulldog is not an animal to be
admired. yet he possesses one trait that
ut least entities him to our respect.
His tenacity OF purpose is prOverbial.
1t makes him g formidable adversary.
a like trait has often enabled man to
overcome great obstacles and win vic
tory under the most trying circum-
stances. In fact. it is only by tenacity
of purpose and indomitable will-power.
that many of life's battles are brought
to 4 successful termination.
Disease, like mans more material
enemies. is often an obstinate adver-
sary, and it is only by the most de-
termined persistency in the use of the
best remedy that victory is attained
over it. While DR.. Pierce'S Golden Med
ical Discovery is guaranteed to benefit
or cure in all diseases for which it is
recommended, yet in ailments of long
standing. which are usually alike slow
in their inception and progress, the cure
must likewise be effected by slow de-

The Economical Chinese.

The Chinese are pre-eminently Geo.
nomical, whether it be in limiting the
Number of wants, in preventing waste
or in adjusting forces in such a manner
as to make little represent a great
deal. The universal diet consists of
'lce, beans, millet, garden vegetables
and fish, with little meat on high fes-
rivals.
Wholesome food in abundance NAV
be supplied at less than penny a day
for each adult, and even in famine
times thousands of parsons have been
Kept alive for months on about a half
penny day each. This implies the ex-
istence of high degree of culinary
skill in the Chinese.
Their modes of preparing food are
thorough and various. There is no
waste; everything is made to do as
much duty as possible. What is left is
The vcriest trihe. The physical condi.
lion of the Chinese dog or cat, who has
to live on the leavings of the family,
shows this. They are clearly kept on
starvation allowances.
Another example of ca-ef ul, calculat-
ing economy is the construction of the
cooking pots and boilers, the bottoms
OF which arc as thin as possible that the
e'ntent' mag boi, all the sooner, for
iuel Is scarce. and consists generally of
ao'hins but tie stalks and roots of the
crops, which make a rapid blaz, and
disappear.
The business of gathering fuc, is com.

Talking Of patent medicines
You know the old prejudice.
And the doctors some of
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
leve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
eveyytlliMg--and so, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
"stuff," you lose faith in every
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the ,ssk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton. of Buffalo. N. Y, does
with
DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what their
makers say they'll do you

"chIna's Menace to The World. :"

En sinserins and Min ny Journal.
Under the above caption the Indus
trial World published recently a long
dissertation proving that the Chinese
have no right to etilarge their civili-
zation because 1t will cndunger the
commercial supremacy OF other na-
tions. "How expansive this growth
Of strength, internal and external. is
becoming" 1t says, .may DO judged

communicating with the State Depart
ment at Washington. i have tho
honor " inclus5 an imperial decree,
commenting on the late proposal Of
the vicerOy Of Canton to develop the
important iron industry In Tokuang.
In order to foster this important In
dnstry, he has abolished inland duties
on iron and the prohibition against It's
export. He proposes to investigate
by commission the subject Of abolish

large diminution vi the revenue, but
would greatly ben6ht tho iron pro-
ducors by doing away With illegal
fees. lie proposes aiissc TO create d
joint stock company to work the foun-
dries with foreign machinery. 1t
would seem that the mind OF this dis
tinguished man, Chang Chi Yung, had
undergone change. lie now, while
still materially seeking to retain for
his own people tile benefits OF induss
trinl enterprise, fnvors the extensive
use Of foreign methods In building
railroads and In establishing electric
lights and foundries.
Then our contemporary cries out In
fear that the term, "Chinese cheap
labor may have positive signiii-
cance OF nm aggressive kind when the
Mongolians emerge from their present
crude state, "for. In countries where
the capacity 10 resist encroacliment
shall be weak, the arrogant intrusion
OF products forced upon unwilling
consumers by the unsparing greed OF
n heather people might involve.thc
overthrow OF existing industrial con-
ditions." All OF which, literally in
terpreted, means that veritablc
Chinese wall must be erected around
Caucasian nations to exclude Chinese
manufactures and products. But it
entirely oiniis to entertain the ideu
that Chinese advance is not the matter
OF n year, but OF decades, and that
during its commercial and industrial
advance America and other favored
nations will expect to supply the
"hcathens' (of whose progress they
are in mortal fear) with their mnchin-
cry, material and manufactures.
II the Chinese, in their laudable
ambition to occupy leading position
among the nations OF the world, should
follow n Caucasian practice, and pro.
hiblt the importation OF our manufuc-
lures, that would take all the poetry
out OF the situation. The Protection.
