Causes That Lead to II.

Some cases OF Suicide are brutal and dis
pustng. Their details fill us with horror.
Others appeal 20 our pity and sympathy.
Both for their reason and result. What more
pathetic than Tom Hoods lines:
'Take her up tenderly-
Lift hor with csrel

Young and 10 fair.
''I.ook at her garments
Clinging like csrsmsHts
Whilst the wave constantly
Drips from her clothing;
Take her up instantly.
Loving, not ioathing.
nCross her hands bumbly,
As " praying dumbly,
Over her breast.

Her evil behavior,
And leaving with meekness

But there ~ "a still more common and much
more important form of suicide.

This is the work your kidneys have 20 do.

Fer your Protection.-Catsrh "Cures" = Ponies for Catasrh in liquid form to be taken internally, usually contain either Mercury or Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur- ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not . blood disease, caused by sudden change to cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat. Cold in the head causes excessive flow of mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re- suits of catarTh will follow; severe pain in the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis charge. Theremedy should be quick to allsy inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for these troubles and contains DO mercury nor aay injurious drug. Price, 50 cents.

It would seem as if tho erection of the free conage banner as Chicago was all that was needed to awaken the slumbsring silver sentiment oi the ns- ton. As an exchange sPtly says from many portions of the east, where the existence of such a sentiment ws. un- suspected, have come assurances oi active support for Bryan and sewsll. The people ell over the United States have become tired of the existing sta- tus, and desire to return to the pros rerity that existed under bimetsllic conditions. They have seen . single gold standard erected. and the rich become richer and the poor poorer They recognize the greed and srro- gance of the money power, and are determined once for all to reduce il to its proper level.
