Gentlemea-I have sent you by mail a photo
graph of my four children (boys), thinking that
four brought up on your Liquid Food as their
standard diet, most especially the one on the
right of the picture. When he was about six
given sour milk by careless nurse-in fact was
so bad the physician was unable to leave the
house for two weeks, during which time the child
was virtually dead from want of nutrition, as he
was unable TO keep anything whatever on his
stomach. After trying all the known prepared
foods, both foreign and dofnestic-none OF which
were of any use-the physician, as final hope,
had me buy bottle OF your Liquid Food, and
from the very first five drops given he began to
rally and has been In most excellent health since.
Whenever any OF them show any signs Of weak
ness whatever we Immediately give them your
Liquid Food, and 1t always acts like a charm in
restoring them to health.
Very truly yours,

BUSINESS FAILURES.

Bradstreet's contains an elaborate
and detailed report of the business
failures of the United States for the
past nine months. 1t says: 'The
total number of mercantile failures in
the United States for nine months of
Of 1891 South Dakota excluded) was
1896, as compared with 1853 in like
portion Of 1890, gain of 1928, or II
per cent. The 1891 total is the heaviest
on record, but the increase is not all
due to unfavorable commercial or in
dustrial conditions. The causes of in.
creased failures in brief are in part the
normal growth Of the commercial death
rate due to o larger business popula-
ton, but for the greater part to the pro-
louged period of restricted trading, en-
forced economy aud resulting wedding
out, following the congested money
market of November and December,
1890. All of the states which showed
larger increases in the number Of fail
ures as compared with nine months of
1890 report increases in the amount of
liabilities, but there are others 10 which
lists of mercantile failures have not
been materially augmented, but in
which the aggregate indebtedness OF
failing traders Is much heavier than in
q like period of last year. Total liabil-
ties for the past nine months equaied
sl3s. sli $40, or more than in nine
months Of any calendar year with the
exception of 1884, when the May panic
caused so pronounced an upheaval IN
business circles. The increase of liabiIi-
ties during the past nine months ss CON-
pared with nine months of 1890 was
s4s, 26o, $50, or almost exactly so per
cent In nine months of 1884 the total
of liabilities was sl9o, e5l 900.

THE Peoples party held q second
convention last night and nominated
Edward Hu.chins. Of Ferunviilc, Allie
gan county, for congress. There were
rxty votes cast on the fret and only
ballot, an informal ose. although the
committee on credentials reported 40
delegates asentitled to seats. 1t is fair
20 say that the convention was rep
resentativs one. for IL probably repre-
sented two-,hirds Of the strength of the
new party IN this district The pro-
ceedings we're marked by q sbrewd
speech from Mr.. Richardson in expls-
nation of his attitude toward the nav
party, and the:desire of several aspir-
ants to secure the nomination. The
candidate is weil-to-do softhapded

slEee the decision VAS rendered no
attempt has been made 10 en-
force them. such q law Is On
the statute books OF Michigan. but il IS
dead letter. No state can confer
upon rs own citizens rights and priv
lszes that are denied TO the citizens Of
other states. To impose license upon
q man engaged in legitimate business
ia Indiana, who seeks TO sell bis goods
IN Michigan, and at the same time 10
absolve q native OF the state from such
tax, Is discrimination explicitly pro-
hiblted by the constitution. the qnes-
ton Is, can city have greater power
IN this respect than state? Ii so, then
the ordinance now before the council
fixing license or tax upon commercial
agents aud ltinerant vendors OF mer-
chandise is good. II not, then the
council Is wasting time and energy IN
considering It's passage for moment.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Roger La Hont' is . play exceed

opening scene almost instantly depicts
a picture of distress. of domestic mis-
understanding. From this there hangs

strength. The climaxes come with
continuity and thrilling acton and the
curtain falls like . funeral pail upon

there IS anguish. The attempt 20
counteract this effect by the introduc-
