The cure lies in purer, richer blood
and better fed nervous tissues. Paine's
celery compound stirs the excretive or
gans, the liver and kidneys, to stronger
action; the blood grows at once purer
and redder and more capable of carry
ing nutriment and oxygen to every
nerve and muscular fiber of the body
Paine's celery compound makes peo-
pie well by building up new tissues in
place of the old regulating shaky
nerves by appropriate nerve food and
sending a strong, full tide of pure blood
through the diseased parts of the liver,
heart, stomach and kidneys.
To worried women, just as to business
men staggering under financial adver-
slty, comes nervousness and final break
down. 81 am not ill enough to take
medicine" she too often says, and puts
off from day to day the correction of

Paine's celery compound is the great

disorders of liver, heart, stomach, and
kidneys that arise from impure blood

These are the difficulties that Paine's
celery compound corrects. 1t builds up

A curious accident occurred at the
ball given to the Infanta in New York
May, 1898. A florist was ordered to
loan some very valuable orchids. These
were hung by wires over the box where
Eulalie sat. After the ball certain
lovers of flowers cut these down, taking
them away as mementos; SO when the
enraged florist went for his rare speci-
mems he found that this was his re-
ward-he was out of pocket some $500.
1t is barbarous fashion, this tearing
down Of the floral decorations after a
ball or a wedding. AT the Bradley
Martin wedding a crowd of women en-
tered the church, like the fish wives of
Versailles, and tore the lilies from the
altar, bearing away only a leaf or few
stalks.

"What can l do to overcome it?
Just what woman means by being
a little nervous she can't exactly say
She tells you she is restless that she
can no longer sew or read converse

troubles her; noises startle her, and
she cries for no cause.
Such are the first small beginnings of

taken to nurse those dear tosthem
through protracted illness, or have
worked beyond their physical powers.
During the many years of hard and
wonderful work, Prof. Edward E.
Phelps, Dartmouth's great professor,
had these weak, "run-down" women
in mind. The study of such cases of
nervous prostration, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, dyspepsia, and debility led him
tothat most marvellous discovery of the
century, Paine's celery compound.
Prof. Phelps became convinced that the
trouble in all these cases of weakness
lay in disturbance of nutrition.

ard must be formed by public opinion. and
that intelligent opinion was only possible
through familiarity with the facts. Indeed,
the whole moral effect sought for de-

a free circulation of the history of the
affair and the legal outcome the aim of
the prosecutors would have been wasted.
This bein, the case, it is difficult to under
stand what the purity league meant by its
criticism of the newspapers and its as
sumption of aggrieved virtue. 1t cannot
plead ignorance of what the leaders were
doing, for it is distinctly asserted that
every section was called upon TO assist in
raising the requisite funds. Certainly the
society does not wish to be charged with
hypocrisy. What il should do is to humbly
apologize to the newspapers which aided
it in carrying out it's plans. and which it
has since reviled and insulted.

TuE MoyUMENT FOUNTAINS.

When the drawings from the accepted
plans of the Indiana soldiers monument
were first published they showed as APRON
inent feature OF the structure. two elab-
crate fountains, one on the east, the other
on the west side. The stone basins of these
fountains extended in their respective d.
rections as far from the base of the mon
ument as do the steps on the south and
north sides, and were of much wider sweep
than the little semi-circles of grass left
since the cement pavement was laid. The
result as pictured in the design, is an ed
ihce symmetrical from every point of view.
1t is this design which has been used in all

w. c. t. u. AND THE POLLARD FUND.

The story that the suit brought by Miss
Pollard against Congressman Breckenridge
was instigated by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union and the White Cross
paid by them needs confirmation; If con-
firmed. some other circumstances con-
nected with the affair require explanation.
AS narrated in the Journal day or so
been down in the Breckenridge district has
been told with circumstantial detail that
the branch of the W. c. T. U. known as
the White Cross League Social Purity
Society, was responsible for the bringing
of the suit and furnished the necessary
funds. This was not from any interest in
the plaintiff or wish to vindicate her. but
to help establish an equal standard of
stances involved in the scandal being re-
garded as having an especial bearing on
that phase of the social problem. 1t
also intimated to the correspondent that
while the w. - L. u. was not taxing the
leading part in the womans movement
against Breckenridge in his congressional
district since the trial, 1t was the purpose
of the organization TO follow up the matter
by inaugurating a general crusade in behalf
of the equal moral standard.
All this is very well; If the organization
took the course described it deserves COM
mendation, but it will be noticed that there
is no explanation given as to why it was
considered necessary to observe secrecy
until now as to the part borne by the So
ciety. AS a general thing the methods and
movements of this reform organization are
heralded abroad and all the world may
know of them at all times. Neither is it
explained why the information, having been
so long held in reserve is given out at this
juncture. Can ii be that the league lacked
the entire courage of its convictions and
feared 10 make it's instrumentality known

ion approved the results? This is not the
common attitude of the true reformer. who

The movement in opposition to govern
ment aid for Catholic Indian schools should
go further and oppose government aid to
sectarian schools OF any kind Missionary
movements for the education OF Indian
children are praiseworthy and probably as
deserving of support by the denominations
they represent as other missionary move
ments. But they have no right to expect
and should not receive government aid
Government schools and church schools

HoNoRs TO AN AMERICAN CITIZEN

Washington press dispatches state that
Senator Hawley has introduced a bill to
enable Professor Asaph Hall, a retired cap
tain in the United States navy. to accept
gold medal given by the French Academy
of Sciences in acknowledgment of distin-
guished scientific services. At first glance
most people would be inclined to wonder
why it should require a special act of Con-
gress to enable person to do so simple a
thing as accept a medal of honor, but there
is very good reason for 1t. The trainers of
the Constitution We're jealous Of class
distinctions and titular honors that they
efrectuaily barred the way against any
thing of the kind among officers of the
9, Article 1 of the Constitution is as fol-
lows
No title of nobility shall be granted by
the United States. and no person holding
any Office of profit or trust under them SHALL
without the consent of Congress, accept OF
any present, emolument, office or title OF
any Kind whatever, from any king, prince
or foreign state.
This provision does not prevent private
citizen from accepting gift or even title
from a foreign government but no person
holding any Office under the government
can do so. As Professor Hall is retired
captain in the navy, a special act of Con-
gress is required to enable him to accept
the honor conferred by the French Acad-
envy of Sciences.
The scientific service for which the medal
is conferred on Captain Hall was the dis
covery of the moons of Mars on the morn
ing OF the 1lth Of August, 1877. In 1879 he re-
ceived for this discovery the gold medal of
the Royal Astronomical Society of London,
and now he receives a no less distinguished
honor from the first scientific society Of
France. The honor a little slow in
coming, but Professor Hall is still alive
to enjoy it, having his home near the naval
observatory in Georgetown. d. c., where
he made his discovery.

If the people living on Tennessee street
think they will feel more select and aristo-
cratic by calling that thoroughfare "Capi-
toll avenue" perhaps ID is well that they
have been granted the privilege Changing
the name of an old street, however, is a
good deal like changing the name of we'll
known citizen. and is likely TO cause con-
siderable inconvenience in one way and an
other. Besides. so far as the aristocratic
feature of the matter is concerned, the
word avenue" among the old residents OF
indianapolis. at least. is not suggestive OF
exclusiveness. In the original plan OF the
city the avenues were the diagonal streets,
and these. as il turned OUT did not become
the choice Of the upper ten in which to
build their homes.
