The Kind That Cures

1t is an honest medicine, the dis
covery of an honest physician,
working in the interests of man
kind. That he has succeeded in
his aim the stories told by those
living right in your own vicinity
prove.
The life of MRS. A. BASSETT
of EAST VASSALBORO, ME-,
was for eight years one of great
suffering. Tormented by Dyspep-
STA, induced by Cancer in the
Stomach, life was a continual mis-
cry. Physicians and their medi-
cines, and widely known remedies
were used without effect. The light
est food distressed her. DANAS
Sarsaparilla CURED her. DO you
wonder at her faith in it?

acted conscientiously and without the
slightest intention of placing himself
in opposition to any patriotic tendency
or purpose in our public schools. He
opposed the proposition to expend $500
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1895-12-21

The professor is quoted as having said
recently: when i was over in France a
few years ago, i happened to pass
along the Boulevard Sebastopol, when
all at once ! saw a magnificent Amer
lean flag floating on the breeze. In
voluntarily paused. A profound
emotion ran through me as / saw that
symbol of my more than native land.
I was proud to have been made a cit
izen of America by the supreme court
of Nebraska. Gentlemen, II you have
never been greeted by your flag. your
stars and stripes. away from home, you
cannot realize the feeling that came
over me at seeing the flag. 1t is my
belief that a greater effect would be
produced on the mind Of the young
by producing the national symbol on
festive occasions"
Professor Fossler is not given to say
ing what he does not mean, and 1t GER
tainly is not possible that man should
honestly voice sentiment like this and
be unpatriotic. In regard to the atti-
tude of the board toward the project to
teach patriotism in the schools the
board acted unwisely, it seems to me.
1t may be that the particular plan sub
mitted may have been impracticable;
there should be no objection to
any proper course of study
that induces patriotism. But
Professor Fossler was honest with him
self and the board. Somebody was too
anxious to give vent to the feeling
which the A. p. A. engenders. 1t is
reported that Captain Phelps Paine was
active in moving against the professor.
I think most people would stake Foss-
ler's patriotism or loyalty to American
against Paine's.
