Rochester, N. Y.
(From the Rochester Democrat and Chron-
icle.)
Our representative was received very
pleasantly at 392 Alexander street, by Miss
Alice Young, who told how since childhood
she had been held in the bondage of pain
from her back, never remembering the
time that she had not suffered pain or
aches in the region of the kidneys. Many
were the means she used to find relief, but
there seemed no remedy for her case and
she remained a captive; then along comes
these little enemies to backache,' Doans

bonds, as one by one the aches and pains
disappear. she finds herself a slave to
pain no more, by their continued use. She
says: 81 was entirely relieved of all my
suffering and now l am perfectly strong,
healthy and WELL"
"How did you take this remedy?" Miss
Young was asked by our representative.
She replied that she followed directions
explicitly. Miss Young then told how the
malady affected her. saying her symptoms
were: "stooping. bending over. walking
or standing any length of time always
gave me pain In the small Of my back.

up my back were affected and this brought
with It severe headaches. but as said be-

"why Is It," asks a shrewd writer,
"that the young woman who has led a
secluded life and whose acquaintance
with men may be limited to her father
and brothers. always has so many and
such positive opinions concerning and
adverse to the opposite sex? I believe
II Is for the same reason that 'Evange-
list Cairns reviled the stage so fear
fully-because he knew nothing at all
about it. Why is it that smooth faced
lads just out of knickerbockers, in their
first term of knocking around, have so
gloriously exaggerated an idea Of girls
susceptibility? For the same reason
Because, like the greedy young robin,
they gulp down the worm of credulity
before their minds or experiences have
grasped their own or the other sex ma
ture. When a young man wakes vol
uble about girls, simplicity and gullible-
ness: when a; young woman wakes
wroth about the evil that men do We
generally smile. And to those girls
who have deep-rooted 'abhorrence' Of
men. who never believe in them, who
would not marry the best man living
and all that sort of stuff. let me say,
Stop! In talking like that you ex-
pose your own ignorance. You do both
the men and yourselves an Injustice.
j don't for. an instant deny that there
are heaps and armies Of bad men-men
who, II their crimes against morality
and virtue were discovered and pun
ished. the world would be depopulated.
But have you ever stopped to think Of
the thousands of men there are whose
SOLD aim in life is the providing Of home
and comforts for their wives and chill
dren? There are hosts Of heroic men
men who have not the time, like you, to
waste upon berating the other sex, but
who bend their engeries toward ST.
lently refuting your thoughtless impu-
tatrons. OF the young woman who has
no use for men, believe that there is
something radically wrong or that

Nor long since one of our CORE

the individuals affected with acute
dyspepsia on all matters pertain
ing to the Government, had their
garbage pail ever behind the door
ready to bring into use when they
were sure it was time to stop pray

first dash from the bucket comes in
the form of a statement that the
Board of Health is discriminating
against St. Louis College in order
ing that no pupils from infected
districts be received at any schools.
Knowing the owners of the pail
and the wise heads that contribute
the garbage, it might be foregone
conclusion that the community is
possessed with the idea that the
Board of Health has been sitting
up nights trying to invent some
means Of making it uncomfortable
for those interested in st. Louis

in general. There are a great

twas believed, st first, that the
slow process Of thinning out the
beets would be so expensive that no
profits could be made. The farm
ers hsve evidently discovered
way Of reducing the expense.
The most serious point for rsdee-
ton is this, that the agricultural
experience Of the United States is
that skill, implements and good
management constantly reduce the
cost of production. L. was recent
" said in Washington City that
the brains Of the American farmer
were uox mztchsi, in he produc,
ton Of sugar, against the cheap
Labor Of the tropics, and would win
before many years" On the other
hand, the intelligent Northern men
who sire using cheap labor, in the
tropics, sre also eheapening the
cost OF sugar production. The
cheap labor of the tropics is, how
ever, sn uncertain quantity, aud
will be more uncertain SIS time goes
on.
One thing is certain, that man
uaI labor, in Californis, with brains
snd implements behind it, is Civ
ing men who claim to know it alln
