THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion 20
Hand in Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor.
When a five horsepower engine is made
to do ten horsepower work something is
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
Office will bolt his food i'll a few min
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a keg of nails would be in a
FIRE under a boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break" because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is ~morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts TO find rest in bed.
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings TO the busy man the full en-
joyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve 4 bilious stomach or after Il too
hearty meal, and d. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery TO purify. enrich and
~vitalize the blood. The Pellets " are tiny
sugar coated pills made of highly concer-
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for a short time to cure the biliousness,
constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, of
the liver; then the Medical Discovery"
should be taken in t~easpoouful doses TO in
crease the blood and enrich it. II has a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not
deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. If you suffer from indi-
gestion. dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
Of the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can cWyr
yonrsey with DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery which can be obtained at any
drug store in the country.

The Fatigue OF Fretting.

a good many ome are more IA
tigued by the work they fail to accom-
plish than by that they do-that is,
they fret and worry over the thousand
and n things which demand atten-
ton and the hurrying to get through
present tasks in order to turn to these
others, added to a mental performance
which, v though it may never ma
~terialize, are as physically exhausting
to a %nervously organized woman as
manual labor. Fortunately there are
some women who can see things in
their rightful proportions, whose per-
ception of perspectives is accurate and
to whom small things do not assume
the undue proportions which character
ize japanese art. Such women can
separate essentials from non-essentials.
They can stand off a little way from
the situation and get its general effect
or see it as it really is, which is the
first and most important step toward
an adjustment of themselves to it. But
this practical sense of perspective is a
thing which most women sadly need
to develop, and cultivate. Its applica-
ton to women's work is no less i'm
portant than to artistic effort.-Phila-
delphia Press.

QUESTIONABLE ATHLETICS.
Rev. Madison Peters Says the Sports Are
Too Brutal.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Speaking on the
subject of athletics, Rev. Madison
Peters said last night in his prelude:
1--WE go to extremes in everything. We
make hard work out of our HOLIDAYS,
and we are always glad to get home
to rest after the days dissipation. The
ball game, which a few years ago
promised to do so much good for the
physical manhood of the overworked,
has rapidly degraded into a craze so that
the game as now conducted has become
a great national nuisance. l am an
enthusiast for athletics. The gym
rasium of to-day will prevent the dys-
pepsia of the future. but | protest
against smashing noses, breaking fin
gers and kicking souls out of mems
bodies in the name of athletics. The
gladiatorial shows of Rome, the bull
fights of Spain and prize fights are re-
fined compared with the football bru-
tally of to-day. Every sensible man
commends the moderate use of games
and sports, but have we not gone to
extremes in our play? We spend SO
much time and money on our sports
that the question arises, Whittier is this
tendency leading?"

large enough to admit of placing two
or three layers of butter to cool at

Every dairy is Supplied with several
scales of varying sizes. The decimal
weight is used everywhere. Instead
of moving the weight along on the

two platforms. n on which to place
the object to be weighed and on the
other the weights of different sizes.
In many diaries they use a weight on

IS gallons. The milk is poured into
this. and when a certain weight is
reached it is checked off and the basin
is tipped SO that it empties its contents
into the large milk vat.
Many styles Of buckets and milk
cans are used. They are generally
made of heavy tin and they are not
infrequently enormous in size. The
cans in which the milk is transported
are of two general forms, square and
round, and the mouth is SO large that
it admits a hand and arm readily.
Frequently the weight of the car is
stamped upon it. or it is stamped upon
a brass plate and soldered to the can,
thus ~obviating the weighing Of the car.

A WOMAN'S HEART.
One Disease That Battles the
Physician.
The Story of q Woman Who Suffered for
Nine Years. How She Was Cured.

From the Newark, n. j., Evening News.)
Valvular disease of the heart has always
been considered incurable. The following
interview, therefore, will interest the med
ical profession, since it describes the sue
cessful use of a new treatment for this dis
ease. The patient is Mrs. George Archer,
of Clifton, N. j., and this publication by
the News is the first mention made of the
case by any newspaper. All physicians con-
suited pronounced the patient suffering
with v~alvular disease of the heart, and
treated her without the slightest relief.
Mrs. Archer said: II could not walk across
the floor; neither could I go upstairs with
out stopping to let the pain in my chest and
left arm cease. l felt an awful construction
about my arm and chest as though l were
tied with ropes. Then there was a terrible
noise at my right ear, like the labored
breathing of some great animal. I ave
often turned expecting to see some creature
at my side.

mother showed me an account in the
Springfield Examiner, telling OF the won
derful cures effected by the use of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. My
mother urged me to try the pills and on
November 18th last l bought a box and began
taking them, and l have taken them ever
since, except for a short interval. The first
box did not seem to benefit me, but l perse.
vered, encouraged by the requests of my
relatives. After beginning on the second
box, to my wonder, the noise at my right
ear ceased entirely. kept right or and the
distress that used to feel in my chest and
arm gradually disappeared. The blood has
returned to my face, lips and ears, which
We're entirly devoid of color, and l feel
well and strong again.
MY son, too, hat been troubled with
gastritis and | induce him to try the Pink
Pills, with great benefit. l feel that every

that has given me this great relief"

From Prof. Georgeson's recent report
on the dairy industry of Denmark we
reproduce an illustration of a cooling
box for butter. Prof. Georgeson says:
Butter coolers are found in every
dairy. The cooler is a simple box
made either of wood or in some cases
of zinc. in which the butter is kept to
cool after it is removed from the but
ter worker, and it remains there until
it is time to give it the next working.
The box is provided with n or more

The Collector Has Them on His List-Hs
VIII Give Them an Opportunity to Come
orward and Pay Up, Failing In Which
They Will be Exposed.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1L.-Collector Kill
breth of the New York customhouse
has a Christmas gift for Uncle Sam
that is calculated to stir society circles
In this and other large cities to the
foundation. 1t is in the shape of au-
thenticated information that certain
well-known Americans, many of whom
are leaders in other things besides So
riety, have been detected smuggling
Paris inery and valuable trif1es of vari-
GUS descriptions through the New York
customhouse.
II COLLECTOR IS NUM-.
The collector will not divulge the
details of his investigation, but the
main facts are well known to his
sub~ordinates, and when the story is
made public, as it will undoubtedly be,
it will create a sensation. Judge Kill
breth's lynX-eyed inspectors have been
at a loss for some time to %account for
nv uiioS o4 buhho
home from Europe by American tour
lists, and recently the collector took
the matter in hand himself and started
aninquiry on both sides of the big pond.
on BOTH SIDES OF THE BIG POND.
He learned that a number of prom
inent people had brought home with
them valuable gowns and dress goods
undo the rose, so to speak, and that
these goods were subsequently distrib-
uted to friends in this country. OF
course, if a passenger feels like bring
ing a stock of clothes home from Eu-
rope, the customs officers can not OBJ

ness of buying at wholesale in Europe
and selling at retail. in America, the
A CELEBRATED EVANGELIST INVOLVED.
This, it seems, is exactly what has
been done. In n case the family of
a celebrated evangelist brought forty
eight trunks to New York on the steam
ship Paris. 1t was learned later that
the contents of eight of these trunks
were distributed to friends in this city
and elsewhere. A prominent politician,
who is said to be a member of the
United States senate, handled seven
trunks full of dresses, etc, in the same
way, and scores of others are said to
have been detected carrying on similar
operations. Collector Kilbreth re-
ceived considerable assistance in
getting at the facts from a
woman who represents a New
York ladies' tailoring establishment in
Paris. This agent is supposed to keep
her employers posted as to who are
large purchasers of goods abroad and
of their movements. 1t is said that she
has been in weekly correspondence
with Collector Kilbreth since July, and
that through her the collector has done
some valuable collecting.
HE HAS A T LIST.
1t is understood that he has In his
safe a list of names which, when pub
lished, will open the eyes of the coun-
try. Many of those involved are promi-
nent in New York, Washington, Chi
cago San Francisco and other cities.
The collector has sought the advice of
the treasury department, and it is
barely possible that he will give the
guilty parties an opportunity to come
forward and pay the duties on the
Struggled articles, failing in which
they will be exposed.
