Poor Indeed!

There are degrees and kinds of
poverty, Just as there are dit-
ferences of opinion among those
who compute and measure poverty
and riches by different standards.
Some men deem themselves poor
because they are less rich than
others, again there are compara-
lively poor people who are satisfied
with a competence. There is a
kind of poverty for which noamount
of wealth can compensate, namely,
a poverty of bodily stamina, evinced
by nervousness and a arrangement
of the functions of digestion, bilious
secretion and the bowels. To restore
vigor upon a permanent basis there
is one remedy that fully covers the
requirements, fills the bill" and
this is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
BY restoring digestion, giving a
healthful impulse to the action OF
the bowels and liver and tran
QUILTING the nerves, it fulflls the
condition necessary to resump-
ton of strengh by the system. 1t
also overcomes malaria and rheu-
matism.
The French say ut is the impos-
sible that happens" This has prov
ed to be the case with the Monnt
Lebanon Shakers. The whole sci
eptihc world has been laboring to
cure dyspepsia, but every effort
seemed to meet with defeat. The
suffering from stomach troubles has
become almost universal. Multi
tudes have no desire for food and
that which they do eat causes them
pain and distress. Sleepless nights
are the rule and not the exception,
and thousands Of sufferers have be-
come discouraged.
The Shakers of Mount Lebanon
recently came to the front with
their new Dige stive Cordial, which
contains not only a food already di-
gested, but is a digester Of food.
It promptly relieves nearly al
forms of indigestion. Ask your
druggist for one of their books

NEW RULES AND REGULATIONS.
The Santa Fe viii Make Important
Changes. to Go Into Eject To-,Iny.

Many new rules and regulations Will go
into effect on the Santa Fe railroad this
morning. The most important one Is in
regard to the character of the watches
carried by men who are running the trains
and the System of inspection that mas been
ordered to prevent incorrect time being
used thus increasing the danger OF coll
lislons and accident. II the ideas embodied
in the new regulations are capable of be-
Ing carried out entire, the danger OF COLI
sOns will have been reduced to the mini
mum.
From the time the inspection of watches
began on the system the work has been in
the hands OF local people who gave the
timepleces a cursory Inspection OCCASION
ally. Now 1t is decided to have the correct
STANDARD time sent out at short Intervals
so that trainmen can secure IL at the end
Of every division. A general inspector Is
appointed for the system and the highest
grade watches have been designtSed as the
official timepieces, The max !mum varia-
ton allowed is thirty seconds PER week,
and all of the watches must keep within
the limit or be discarded. II Is believed
that with this improved arrangement the
danser of wrong time may be greatly re-
ducsl.

Arthur Thiele young student at the
high school of technology In Charlotten-

ress for nine months, because he provoked
and fought n duel with Dr. Brockelmann.
Brockelmann was Thelss second in a
sword duel, and in his comments on the
meeting criticised severely one of Thicle' s
strokes Thiele regarded the criticism as
an insult He challenged the dactor but "A
court of honor decided the doctor was un-
der no obligation to accept the challenge.
This decision angered Thiele. He was de-
termined to have a duel at any price. So
he sat down and wrote what. to hi. mind
was the most insulting letter he could
think out. This letter reached its climax
in the sentence:
You may regard yourself as morally
boxed on the ear by the ersigned."
To Brockelmann's mind too. this seemed
an Insult that only blood could wipe out.
