MONTH WHEN IT'S EASIEST
TO REGAIN HEALTH.
Get Strong Before Debllitatins
Spring Comes Again,
Feed the Worn Out Brain With
Paine's Celery Compound.
LET CHANGING SEASONS FIND
SYSTEM IN HEALTH.
Take the Great Remedy That Makes
People Well.

a perfectly healthy body has its
parts completely nourished and its
nerves constantly refreshed and stored
with energy from the vigorous blood
that all the time bathes it.
But to do this important work of
conveying sufficient nutrition to the
tissues, the blood must be kept rich
and full of red c~orpuscles.
The only trouble with two-thirds OF
the men and ONE whom the COM
ing spring will claim for its victims is
a pitiful lack of proper nerve food.
What these weak, nervous people
need is a more general feeding and
storing of their blood and tissues with
fresh, highly yitalized material. There
is undoubtedly nothing that can COM
pare with Prof. Phelps remarkable
discovery, Paine's celery compound,
for restoring health and strength.
The great body of physicians
throughout the United States, Eng
land and Canada believe profoundly
in it. and prescribe it in all cases of
nervous weakness and debility. In
preparing this greatest of all nerve
tonics and blood-renewers, the emil
nent professor Of Dartmouth college,
Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., LII. D., had
in mind the countless men and women
with brains overworked and nerves
unstrung by worry and lack of proper
nutrition.
Clerks, their employers, lawyers,
doctors, mothers of families, hard
working men and women in every
state and county, and hosts of brain
the community-are to-day taking
Paine's celery compound, with the
happiest results, to relieve themselves
of rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous ex-
haustion, dyspepsia, s~leeplessness and
low spirits. Paine's celery compound
cures diseases of the important organs
of digestion, circulation, e~xcretion, by
purifying the blood, by regulating the
entire nervous system and supplying
the body with strength to combat dis
ease.
Paine's celery compound makes
people well. 1t takes away all the
tremor and irritability from the nerves
and gives that calm, strong feeling OF
assured health that invariably accom-
panies a perfectly well-nourished sys-
tenn.
Get rid of languor, clear the muddy.

From the Louisiana Mol Press

Charles Day has sold the Mexico dr.
gus to Professor Major of the Mexico
Public Schools. The professor will find
it much harderto teach Audrain coun-
ty people Republicanism than to in
struct them in science, literature and
mathematics. We have never heard

THE TAYLOR BROTHERS CASE,
IL Will Come up Again For Trial at
Carrollton Next July How
the Jury Stood.

CARRoLLToN, Mo, April 5.-The jury
in the Taylor ease was discharged by
Judge Rucker at $3.50 a. m. At that
hour the jury was brought into the
court % and Judge Rucker asked:
Gentlemen, is there any prospect
that you will agree on a verdict"
"None whatever" replied the fore
man, George Fleming.
"What do the rest of you say?" ask
ed the Judge.
''There is no show whatever" re-
piled several of the iurymen.
"Do you stand now as you stood
from the first?" again asked the Judge,
and the jurors replied that the first
ballot was eve for conviction and
five for acquittal, and that result had
remained unchanged at all future bal
lots.
Judge Rucker ordered the clerk to
enter the disagreement and discharg-
ed the jury, and continued the case till
the next term of court.
AS the Jurors filed out of the court
room they were Kissed, hooted at and
revived by the people who had gath
cred about the court house.
The jury stood as follows:
For acquittal - Glover, Rowland,
Fleming, Hudson, Yeahle.
For conviction-Creel, Baker, Jen-
kins, Jammison, Rose, Auer, Bran
mer.
Mr.. Yeahle, after the discharge of
the jury when interviewed by the
Post Dispatch correspondent express
ed great surprise and modification at
the reports of bribery published and
circulated so p~ersistently to which he
was said to have been a party, and
said he was for acquittal solely for the
reason he did not think beyond a rea-
sonable doubt that the defendants
were guilty, that he did not take into
consideration any prejudice or sympa-
thy for either party, that the state
ments of bribery were absolutely false
and he intended to have the matter
cleared up Immediately, that he acted
according to his convictions and thf
instructions of the court.
One of those who were for convic.
| ton said he did not intend to bear the
responsibility of hanging the jury MOI

viewed this morning expressed them

THE MONEY

Many peopi,, fail 30 understand why
the American people cannot establish
silver as n unit of value as well as
gold, and seem to think that all that is
needed is for the government to issue
n decree and the matter is settled.
There are few people who would not
be glad to see silver made, in a fixed
proportion TO gold, standard. But
to do this we must have an agreement
with other nations, since Il trade is
not confined among ourselves. Upon
this point the April Century contains
the following clear remarks:
There is one point that is too often
overlooked by those who assailthe gold
standard. All the great nations of the
world have adopted that standard and
insist upon conducting all business
transactions upon it. 1t will not do
for us as a people to say that we will
take silver because we like it better.
We must use the money which the
rest of the world likes best, or we
cannot trade with the rest of the
world. Our merchants and traders
act on this principle constantly. SO
do all capitalists and money lenders.
1t matters not what standard the gov
eminent may adopt, the gold standard
will still be the basis of all business
transactions. For many years past all
contracts for future delivery of goods,
all loans, mortgages, in fact, all trans
actions involving considerable sums
of money, have contained a gold
clause. 1t is not Congress or the gov
eminent which fixes the standard,
but capitalists and business men.
They fix it in gold, not because they
dislike silver, but because on gold
alone can they depend for stability.
In doing this they are making it pos
sible for widows, orphans and all
other holders of savings to get an in
come from them. Without a sure
standard of value there can be no
loaning of money, no safe and profit
able investments, and hence no inter
est. Without invested capital, foreign
and domestic industries must Ian
guish, and workingmen be left with
out employment. 1t is not merely a
high patriotic duty, therefore, for all
the people to help the government in
maintaining the national credit, but it
is also the first essential to national
well being.

The Troy, Mo-, Free Press says:
What has become of the Republican
wall about the infamous sugar tax
levied by the Wilson tariff bill? We
hear very little about it now. When
the Wilson bill was passed sugar was
selling at retail at from twenty to
twenty-five pounds for a d~ollar-that
being the cheapest it was sold even in
the large city retail stores. Only this
week we notice the advertisement OF
a Kansas City retailer who offers
thirty pounds of the best graduated
sugar for a dollar, while even in coun-
try towns merchants sell twenty-four,
twenty-five and twenty-six pounds
for a dollar. All of which knocks the
props from under those papers and
politicians which have been bowling
about the increased cost of sugar.

HIS WIFE KNEW THE ROPES.

wv -"Ah hSt
There is no doubt about it. 1t is a
bad thing for a man to have a wife
with business ability. The case of
II. w. Allen, of Rockford, ILL.,, illus
trates that fact. Mr.. Aliens business
is travelling for a wholesale grocery
house. The other day he dislocated
his shoulder. A trip which it was
necessary that he should make was
already mapped out. His wife told
him that if he would mind the baby
she would make the trip for him. He
laughed her to scorn, but she was in
earnest, and she took his sample case
and went the rounds. The result was
that, while he made rather a bad
showing as nurse, she secured ten
pages more of orders than he ever
succeeded in doing in one day in all
the years he had been on the road.
The firm has written to Mr.. Allen sug-
costing that he trade jobs with his
wife permanently.
