THE BEST
SPRING MEDICINE

IS SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR-don't
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes choked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria. Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. It also
regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in All condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR is SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in LIQUID
already prepared, or make a tea of the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR. You'll find the RED Z on every
package. Look for it.

Silver Club Organized in Hamler.
Many Republicans Join the Sill
yer Ranks.

HAMLER, o., Aug. 15.-Recently a
few of the Democrats of Hamler con-
ceived the idea of organizing a silver
club, and Wednesday evening &. F.
Hayes and A. NJ. Jackman got two
horns about five feet in length, and
with the only silver band Hamler
has, they played a few selections and
invited all to meet with them at
Henderson Hall.
After they had assembled g. f.
Hayes called the meeting to order
and Hon. J. f. Myers was made
temporary chairman, with G.. T.
Hayes secretary. The object of the
meeting was ably stated by the chair
man, after which d. A. Collins, A.
M. Jackman and G. Miller, were ap-
pointed to draft resolutions. The
committee reported at once and the
resolutions were adopted by unani-
nous vote.
The roll was then opened for sig
natures and seventy names were en-
rolled, among them were many long
time Republicans.
Hon. f. Myers was made perma-
nent chairman, and DR.. w. Statler
secretary. The meeting adjourned
until Wednesday evening, August 49,.
when uniform rank will be organ
lied.

The Yardstick.

The yardstick argument is favor
ite and somewhat catchy resort of
the gold standard advocates. "a
double standard, they say, lis inn
possible; we might as well have two
yardstlcks of different lengths A
yardstick is a measure offixed length
and would be the same if there were
one yardstick or q billion in the
world. The stick could not make q
piece of cloth measure more or less
no matter how many yardsticks
there might be. How is it with the
dollar?
The dollar is common denomina-
tor in terms of which values are ex-
pressed. The values of the dollar
varies according to the number of
dollars. If there were only million
dollars in the United States, the
values of the dollar would be i'm
mensely increased. Taking away
half of the real money of the country
by demonetizing silver has doubled
the value of the gold dollar.
The problem is how to prevent the
dollar from changing in value and
experience has shown that this can
best be done by using both gold and
silver in making dollars. The tiuctu-
ations are, then, less violent. The
law of supply and demand applied to
the two metals regulates the use so
that there cannot be many fiuctua-
tions. Even great changes in the
productions of the two metals can
not disturb the equilibrium. When
the annual production. of silver was
three times that of gold for number of
years, in France the ratio of 159 to
was maintained. Walter Bagehot,
the English economist, referring to
the action of the bi-metailic countries
when gold was discovered in Califor-
MIA said
Whenever the value OF the two
metals altered these countries acted
as an equalizing machine. They
took the metal which fell, they sold
the metal which rose, and thus the
relative value of the two was kept
at its old point
Prof, f. A. Walker says: "When
the California discoveries took place,
the stock of silver in existence was at
least one and half greater in value
OAACeh tANu VI SOlSls w IUulu UWcI1by
years these conditions were to be re-
versed." When gold was discovered in
California, the production of silver
was greater than that of gold. With
in four years the production of gold
was more than three times tn at of
silver. But the ratio wasmaintained
until silver was demonetized. 1t will
not do to say that the price of silver
has fallen on account of the increas-
ed production, because changes in
the amount of gold and silver never
had that effect as long as both metals
were admitted to coinage on equal
terms. In the language of Mr.. James
HI. Teller: "Bimetallism is not an
experiment, it has held the field in
| all the most prosperous periods of the
worlds history. 1t is not only prac-
ticable, but it is the only means by
which stable and equitable none
tary system can be maintained 1t
makes the two metals substantially
one money with which the business
of the entire world may be trasacted
without shock or fraction. Plain

Book knowledge

Is not the only thing requisite in q
physician. Unless he is born for the
business, unless he has the subtle,
indefinable power of looking through
man and seeing the disease in its
most secret hiding place, he will new
er be good physician, even though
he graduated from German univer-
sity. An illustration of the great al.
vantage given to a man by an inborn
power of diagnosis is seen in the results
of the practice of DR.. France, of The
France Medical Institute. This emf
nent doctor has had, to be sure, all
advantages of thorough college train
ing and widespread experience which
the most ambitious physicians could
desire; but by the side of others who
have that fitness and nothing else, he
stands out preeminent. His cures
are remarkable. They are worked
in cases which seem utterly hopeless,
and no one, no matter what his mala.
dy, should despair until after con-
sulting DR.. France.

Institute, Columbus, Ohio, by request

cided to visit Napoleon, Thursday,

DOUBLE DROWNING AT MAUMEE
RAPIDS.
Two Families Frustrated With
Grief.

BOWLING GREEN, Aug. 14-Par-
ticulars of the drowning at Maumee
Rapids are as follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. Dauterman and Miss
Ely had gone about a mile up the
river from the club house to what is
known Jas the "riffles.n The water
runs swiftly over the rocks and the
current is something terrific. A Shiny
moss is on the stones, and although
the water is notover foot deep one
can hardly stand up. Mrs. Dauter-
man was in the shallow water wading
while her husband was farther. The
Ely girl had been going up the rapids
and then floating down to where Mr..
| Dauterman was standing, who
caught her from going out into the
deeper water. The last time she did
this she was carried to one side. Mr..
Dauterman who was an excellent
swimmer plunged in after her and
was borne down by the girl clinging
to his neck. The wife ran out on
the bank and after seeing her hus-
band go down for the last time faint
ed. The affair happened about three
p. M, and it was nearly two hours
before Mr.. Dauterman was taken
from the water. A search was then
prosecuted further for the Ely girl
who was found later in shallow water
across the whirlpool from the shore.
In no place is the water over five feet
deep. The remains were both
brought home in the ambulance.
The funeral of Lenora Ely will be
held to-day at the Baptist church.
Time of Mr.. Dauterman's funeral has
not been set on account of relatives
in the west.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ely are nearly dis
tracted with grief on account of the
loss of their daughter. Mrs. Dauter-
man is nearly Frustrated and relates
over and over the awful scene of her
husband struggling to get ashore.

Particular People.

Our customers are pafIlcu-
lar people, and we are glad of
it, for we are a little particu-
lar ourselves. People who
are particular about the goods
they buy, who insist upon per-
fection as to durability, goods
to be as represented, best ma
teriaIs and quality, are people
who know what they ought to
pay for goods and who refuse
to pay exhorbitant prices.
AS we have said we are par
ticular ourselves. Particular
in selecting our goods, and we
do our own selecting, from the
best concerns in the country;
insist upon the very highest
grade of goods, and as we pay
the plank down cash for every
dollars worth of goods pur-
chased we get them at the
lowest notch, and that is the
secret of how we can sell first
class stock at a price which
most dealers ask for second
class and inferior goods.
We are especially particu-
lar in the selection Of our
stock of drugs and medicines.
They must always be up to
the standard, pure and fresh.
We pride ourselves in this de.
partment, and truthfully be-
lieve that we have drugs and
medicines for all the aches and
pains known to the human
race, and to- the animal king
dom as well. We keep none
but what we can recommend,
and it is always wise to keep
an assortment of goods, true
and tried remedies on hand, so
that they may be near when
wanted, for it is a fact that
many lives are sacred, and
diseases prevented, by having
the right medicine at the right
time, and in time.
And while we are especially
particular with our stock of
drugs and medicines, we are
equally particular in the Sc
lection of our paints, oils and
brushes. We are the Oldest
house in the county dealing
in these goods, and we have
this class Of goods down pat.
We keep no inferior paints or
oils, and it is for that reason
wherever you see paint spread
that comes from our store it is
always found to wear well and
is first class in all particulars.
Our wall paper and window
shade dept has a well estab.
lished reputation, and we are
as particular of this depart
ment as we are Of any other in
our mammoth store Styles
and patterns have never been
more pretty than they are
now, and as to prices you can
paper your entire home for
little or no money. The
cheapness of our paper will
surprise you, as well as our
designs will delight. Come in
and look over the stock wheth-
er you wish to purchase or
not.
We still handle anything
and everything in the book
and stationery line, and keep
this department up as well as
can be found in any first class
exclusive book and stationery
store. Respectfully,
