One By One They Fall.

The city of Des Moines is still talk
ing of organizing Harrison Telephone
company to cut rates i'm two and give
better service than the Iowa Tele-
phone company has ever given. The
effort to plant this sort of exchange in
this city did not succeed, and we may
regard ourselves in luck that il did not.
Here is an item from the Nebraska
State Journal, of Lincoln, few days
old, that tells the story as it is told in
almost every town in which a Harrison
exchange is planted, and not long after
the planting has taken place:
"The sheriff has levied on the prop
erty of the Harrison Telephone and
Electrical company and it will be sold
under the execution Saturday, Sept. 10.
The property is to be sold under two
judgments, one of $11, 9S7.75 in favor
of Edward Roster, and another of $780,
$40 in favor of the City Real Estate
and Trust Company of Topeka. These
are the judgments under which a re-
ceiver was appointed and the sale of
the plant will take the property out of
the receivers hands. "-Davenport

Upon proper diet more than upon
any other one thing depend the health
and condition of every human being.
Life itself is a matter OF nutrition, and
mans earthly destiny turns on the

and 1t largely determines his DISPOSE

those around him because he was the

No argument is strong enough to con-
vey the full significance of the mothers

matter of foods. In those periods of
infancy and early childhood which are
beyond the control of the individual,
It rests with the mother to supply the
food that will best build up the Tissues

There may be hereditary faint, ten

Great Work of Paine'S
Celery Compound.
A Blessing to Every Household
in the Land.

If another huge petition, like the IA
nous one now going round the world
on quite another mission, were to be
signed by all the men, women and
children who have been cured of dis
ease or saved from weak, nervous con-
dition by Paine's celery compound, it
would take stout conveyance to carry
the enormous document from city to
city.
Such a growing testimonial would re-
ceive additions from every tiny village
and small town, not to mention the
cities, on Its journey across the Unit
ed States.
1t would be signed by thousands Of
women no longer tortured by sleepless-
ness, pains in the back and side, con-
tinued headaches, neuralgia, dyspepsia,
and Bright's disease.
There would be fully as many men
who had been permanently cured of
kidney and liver diseases and rescued
from chronic bad health by means of
this great invigorator.
"A vast number of children would be
represented to testify to the ability of
Paine's celery compound to restore a
healthy appetite, to take away that
constant tired feeling and to purify the
blood of harmful humors.
The number of testimonials for
Paine's celery compound from men and
women of high standing in every state
in the Union that have already been
published, would fill large volume
These testimonials have been written
without solicitation. They have been
published verbatim as they were re-
ceived.
Necessarily the testimonials that
have publicly appeared have been but
one or two. here and there, taken al
most at random from an enormously
large number that every day and every
week steadily increases.
Besides, it is to be rernem bered that
not one tbthe of all the magnificent
cures fairly due to Paine's celery COM
pound ever get beyond the knowledge
Of the Immediate family; that, in fact,
few people have any appreciation of
the number of families throughout the
United States where Paine's celery
compound is kept constantly on hand
and IS being taken or has been taken
by someone of its members
Paine's celery compound has already
done an enormous work. 1t has saved
lives. 1t has saved health. 1t has
saved homes.
But its work as the greatest nerve
and brain strengthened and restorer the
world has known, is only well started.
1t is not beyond the reach of the most
modest household. while a much great
er expenditure will procure nothing else
so effective.
Paine's celery compound, the remedy
that makes people well, is within reach
of all!

an IndignaEtTtector.-

A queer church quarrel is reported
from Scotland, where an Episcopalian
clergyman has rent his congregation IN
twain by trying tc suppress debating
society connected with the church. This
society, it seems, recently considered
the relative influence of the modern
press and the modern pulpit, and de,
cided by vote that the orators who
sustained the newspaper side of the
controversy had the better of it. The
reverend gentleman therefore declared
both himself and the church grievously
insulted, and peremptorily ordered
everybody connected with the debat-
ing society to resign from it. Nobody
obeyed, and the result has been empty
pews and much harsh language from
the pastor and his rebellious flock. Ii
does not seem to have occurred to any.
one concerned that neither the press
nor the pulpit was much affected by the
decision which these youthful Scotch
men reached. while the clergyman has
taken about the only possible means al
his command to prove that, in one
instance at least, the verdict to which
he objects was perfectly correct-N. Y.
