M.de Miserable for Life.

This you may easily be if you fail TO
remedy the indigestion and non-assimila-
ton of the food, which are the attendants
and originators of nervousness, that ever
present ailment which no narcotic, mineral
sedative or nervine can ever do more than
temporarily relieve. OF course these reme-
dies have no effect upon the organs of diges..
ton and assimilation, except to disorder and
enfeeble them, thus aggravating the origin
al difficulty Among the most alarming and
dangerous symptoms of chronic nervous,
ness is insomnia which is the professional
term for inability to sleep. Where this ex.
lists there is always a tendency to mental
overthrow, paresis and eventual insanity.
Begin at the fountain head of all this dim,
Guilty with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and
avert evil consequences. No sooner does
the stomach resume its tone, and the sys-
tenn gain in vigor through the aid of this
benign tonic, than sleep returns and the
nerves grow tranquil Chills and fever,
rheumatism, biliousness and constipation
yield to the Bitters.

HONEST INSURANCE.
A Company Which Fulfills Every
Promise and Owes No Man a
Penny that Is Wrongfully
Withheld.
Des M pines Life Association, Des Moines,
Iowa.

There is one Des MONIES institution
that is winning new honors for itself
and at the same time for the city every
week. 1t is helping to establish this
city as the Hartford of the west, where
more safe insurance is written than in
any other western city outside of
Chicago. The following editorial cor
respondence from the American Trade.
journal, of Chicago, speaks for itself:
We take Unusual pleasure in commend
ing this company to every reader. 1t
stands forth with record of which any
company might we'll be proud. Unques-
toned and unquestionable integrity marks
all its transactions, honesty and liberality
characterize all dealings with its policy
holders. 1t owes no man dollar that is
wrongfully withheld, nor does it seek to
evade any of its obligations by mere quib-
BILE. Its policies are clear and explicit A
wayfaring man need not stray. There is
nothing to tangle up even the unlearned.
Reading policy of this company one in
stinctively feels that before him is an hon
est promise to pay, and that such promise
will be fulfilled to the very letter.
1t offers absolute security, being strong,
solid and unassailable. The personnel of
its officers gives evidence that all Its affairs
will be ably and conscientiously admins
tered. Its directorate is trustworthy, it's
management beyond criticism. In fact in
all essential features it stands in striking
contrast to the wildcat insurance concerns
which have been exposed in these pages.
This corporation we can commend as en-
phatically as the others were condemned.
Its Inherent worth and unquestioned sol
idity have been amply demonstrated and
its prosperity shows that in the field of in
surance the essential features of safety,
promptness and liberality are ever factors
of success. We do not hesitate to bestow
upon it our heartiest approval and to com,
mend it in the stl ongest terms of endorse
ment which come to our PEN

YOUR HEAD TO THE NORTH.
Tho Proper way to Sleep According to
Some Medical Authorities.


Some Medical Authorities.
There appears to be foundation for
the idea that sleeping with the head
pointed northward is beneficial.
many people claim to have been
benefited by observing the rule. and
a London editor is quoted by the
Brooklyn Eagle as saying recently:
Years ago suffered from nervous
irritation and consequent loss OF
sleep fancied that I slept better
in some rooms than in others and,
after trying to ascertain why, came
to the conclusion that u great deal
depended upon the position OF the
bed. For twenty-five years l have
had my bed placed with the head to
the north, or as near that point as l
can get, and have found great ad-
vantage in doing So" In 1881
writer in the Revue Philosophique
said: "Is there then, an agency cap
able of exercising continuous
action on the apparatus of the nerves,
varying with the position of the headP
To my mind this agency exists and Is
none other than terrestrial magnet
ism. 1t is beyond dispute that galvanic
currents exercise a powerful effect on
our nervous system, but that electro
magnets themselves produce marked
effects in certain nervous affections.
To this tho author adds the note:
| have this fact from M. Nordstrom,
Swedish consul at Alger: DIR. julius
Won dem Fischweiler, a physician at
Madgeburg, who died lately, asserts
in his will that his own great age
U09 years) is to be ascribed entirely
TO his constant habit Of sleeping
with his head to the north" Proba-
bly, the benefits to be derived from
the position of ones bed are wholly
imaginary, but many persons have
tried it and testify to sense OF
benefit from the change to that posi-
tion from previous one. A very
eminent physician said on this sub
iect: My opinion is that it is piece
of nonsense worthy of some super
stitious old lady. | would rank it
with fortune telling and table wrap
ping Hindoos, Russians and jap
anese are opposed to sleeping with
their heads to the north. but their
objections are based on superstitious
grounds.

HIS CAT MOTOR.
A Milwaukee Mans Ingenious Device
for Generating Electricity.


81 had a large cork and bung fac
tory in Grand avenue, and | needed
power to run my machinery. You
know, of course, that there is an inn
mense amount of stored-up electricity
in cat" says writer in Harper's
Weekly. The problem for inventors
has been to invent way to extract
it profitably. In the rear of my
factory | constructed a one-story
circular building, some sixty feet in
diameter On the floor of this
coiled q glass pipe of six inches in
diameter. The first coil ran around
the outside of the room, the coils
gradually growing smaller, till the
last, in the center, was no larger
than this table. 1t gave me some
thing like mile of pipe The top
and sides of this pipe were lined
with rather stiff hair brushes, tho
bristles being little more than an
inch in length.
.'At that time Milwaukee was over
run with cats. 1t was impossible to
sleep nights. | put notice in the
paper that | would pay ten cents a
dozen for prime cats, delivered at
my factory. got sixty dozen the
first day, and stored them in the
basement of the power-house. The
motor operated thus: Placing in the
outer end of the glass pipe an imita-
ton rat, made of rubber and pro-
PEELED by small interior storage
battery, would then adjust cat
Immediately behind it. The rubber
rat would start off at "a terrific rate
it was made to go through the mile
Of tubing in from two to three min
utes-and the cat, of course, followed
furiously, thinking to catch the sup
posed animal throughout the entire
distance.
Gentlemen, il was exciting to
watch healthy, active cat whip
about those spirals, with the me-
chanical rat about foot ahead and
going like cannon ball. The cats
back and sides rubbed against the
brushes, and her electricity was thus
extracted. With a storage battery,
and by sending cat through every
five minutes, | generated enough
electricity to operate my entire plant,
| light my factory, and sell power to
run neighboring passenger elevators
and small machinery. 1t also took
the yowl out of the cats, and grad
ually the city became quiet. At
the end of a week cat could be
caught and used again.

Making Postage stamps.

Every part of postage stamp max
ing is done by hand. Tho designs
are engraved on steel, 200 stamps on
single plate. These plates arc
linked by two men, and then are
printed by girl and man on a
largo hand press. They are dried as
fast as printed, and then gummcd
with a starch paste made from pota-
toes. This paste is dried by placing
the sheets in steam tanning ma
chine, and then the stamps are sub
jected to a pressure of 1000 tons in
q hydraulic press. Next the sheets
are cut so that each one contains 100
stamps, after which the paper be-
tween the stamps is perforated, and
after being pressed, the sheets arc
filed away. II a single stamp is in
jured the whole sheet is burned.
