How to Treat a Wife.


From Pacific Health journal.
First, get a wife; second, be pa
tient. You may have great trials
and perplexities in your bus
mess, but do not, there
fore, carry to your home a cloudy or
contracted brow. Your wife may have
trials, which, though less in magnitude,
may be hard for her to bear. A kind
word, a tender look, will do wonders
in chasing from her brow all clouds of
gloom.-To this we would add Away 8
keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in the house. 1t is the bes;
and is sure to be needed, ooner or
later. Your wife will then know that
you really care for her and wish to
protect her health. For sale by X. ID.

THERE are two kinds OF men in poll
tics who are to be pitied, the nan. who
is o good to connect himself with
either OF the established parties, and
the man who is the tool Of some de-
LsignIng politician ard allows himself
to be worked, and do work for some
schemer who has only his own selfish
ends to accomplish. Always beware
# the man who does not take any in
terest in politics. He is apt to be a
nobody, or ready to do the bidding of
some man who has designs IN the pub.
lie. There is a clear necessity, under
our form Of government, for political
parties, and il Is the duty of every citi-
gen to educate himself so as to be able
10 make q choice of parties, and then,
instead of politics being disrepptable,
il would b. a badge of citizenship, and
every man would wear 1t. BY possess
ing a thorough knowledge IN this d.
r%ection, a man is made worthy of rec
ognition as a citizen. Without such
knowledge he is a n%onentity, and
should not be called a good citizen in
every sense of the word. A mans
lack of political knowledge often makes
him subservient TO those who would
destroy rather than create, who would
tear down our institutions rather than
build up.

ADVERTISING-DOES 1T PAY?
TO the inquiry which forms the cap
ton of this article, we answer ssyes.''
But it seems to be a hard task to i'm,
press upon many persons who are in
trade the Importance of this, and that
it is the surest and only way to certain
success In any business, pursuit or
profession in life. One way to get the
patronage of the public, is to appeal
to them by way of advertisement, and
then be sure that you give your custom
ers the worth Of their money.
The lesson Of the value of advertis-
ing is constantly being taught, and Its
worth illustrated by example after ex.
ample, and yet some persons who are
in business fail to see its utility. A
prominent and successful business man
was heard to say some time since, that
the strongest spring he knew Of to drive
a business successfully was a liberal use
of printers ink, which, to say the least
of it, is true as every prosperous BUSH
ness firm will readily concede.
II a man wishes to engage in a pol
itical lite, or in any pursuit what
ever where the attention Of the world
and the favor ofthe people are wanted,
and are necessary to success in it, he
secures at once the intervention of the
newspapers, 10 the Immediate vicinity
OF his movements.
il large projects and chimerical en-
tarprises bring profit to their origi-
majors through the medium of exten
sive advertising, is it not safe to say
that the same methods will prove Of
great advantage to commerce and in
dustries based upon solid worth, and
positive valued We have no patience
with which to read correspondence
from business men, who say ait don't
pay in my case to advertise. because
dealers seeing the advertisement will
say 'it is a new-tangled humbug, and
therefore we will have nothing to do
with r." The humbug lies, not 10
the advertising, but in this style o.
talking in which they indulge.
Some persons fancy that because
they can not figure up IN exact frac-
tion Of profit, as in goods bought at
one price and sold al another, there.

Put to Sleep Forever by the
Roentgen Rays.
HOW THE WORK IS DONE.
DISCOVERY MADE BY THE UNIyER-
sITY OF MISSOURI.
Roentgen Says He Has Had For Some
Time Past Positive Proof That the
\ Ray is u Germicide and Diph-
theria. 1t Would Seem, Will No
Longer Be Dreaded as it is Now
and Has Been in the Past.

CHICAGO, April 2S.-An X-ray will
kill bacteria of 6iphtheria The cleo
trical department of the university of
Missouri az Columbia, after making
several experiments, confirms the re-
port that diphtheria germs had been
killed by the Roentgen light. To Prof.
Harry Preston Pratt and Prof. Hugo
Wightman of Chicago, the first to give
to the scientific world the positive as
Sertion that disease germs in the hui
man body could be killed by the use of
the X-ray, this confirmation of their
own pioneer work was extremely graf
flying. But a week 100 they gave the
result of their experiments, which were
received with some doubt by eastern
scientists and with much skepticism in
Chicago. To the doctors and scientists
who criticised the possibility of the
Chicago discovery being true, the con-
firmatory report from the university
of Missouri will come as a surprise.
Prof. Roentgen, when told by cable
of the Chicago investigation and the
result, replied that he had expected
the experiments to result as they did.
The X-ray, he said. was a germicide.
The university of Missouri joins Chi
cago in sustaining the declaration.
The following gives the details of the
university's work:
The Roentgen ray will kill dfph-
liberia by killing the bacillus which
causes that disease This is the discov-
cry which the electrical department of
the university of Missouri announces
today. Two experiments have been
carried on for some time in the cleo
trical laboratory to test the effect of
the famous ray upon the diphtheria
bacteria. The germs were prepared by
Prof. Hickman of the meteorological
department, and subjected to the influ-
ence of the rays for two hours. The
microscope examination then showed
that the diphtheria bacillus had al
most entirely disappeared. The ar
rangement of the testing apparatus is
different from the ordinary method.
Further experiments will be made at
once. If they continue successful the
cure of diphtheria by the application
of Roentgen rays to the afflicted throat
will become part of the medical prac-
tice.

WORDS FOR WOMEN.
There Are Thousands Who Need
Help-Why They suffer-Hoyv They
Can Get Relief

On. what misery, what suffering,
what anxiety and despair is endured
by thousands of poor suffering women.
They are women with pale faces, tired
eyes and drawn, weary looks. who feel
sickly and worn out Their lives are
darkened and they feel blue and de-
pressed because they are troubled with
some female complaint which gives
them no rest. They suffer silently, pa
tlently, and too often they keep on suf-
fering.
There seems to be no relief. Day af-
ter day, they are tortured with head
aches, back-aches, pains in the limbs,
bearing down pains-pains everywhere.
Ihey suffer from dizziness, faintneSs,
dlsordered stomach. nervousness.
moodiness. They. seem to be afflicted
with almost every disease that was
ever known. No wonder that such wo-
men cry for help and ask despairingIy,
Is there nothing 1 can take to get rid
of these awful feelings?"
This is a sad picture, but it is true
to lifel 1t reveals the actual condition
of that vast number of women in
whom the course of nature becomes in
terrupted. They suffer and they get no
relief
But if women only knew it, they
might easily find help. There is a way
10 prevent and cure these distressing
ailments Many women have discov-
cred that there is remedy which will
cure them. 1t is a remedy that has
made thousands of weak. suffering
women strong, healthy and well. This
is what one woman has to say about
it:
Mrs. Isabel Green of Colchester,
Conn, recently said: For years suf-
fered with backache, bearing down
pains and various other ailments pc
culiar to womankind and tried many
remedies. but until l took Warmers
safe cure L received no permanent re-
lief. AS the result of taking the safe
cure, now feel like a new woman and
have not had an ache or a pain for
two years past. 1 dheerfully recon-
mend this remedy to every woman who
suffers as I did,
No woman can afford to be without
this valuable remedy. By using it,
she can safely avoid every form of
sickness and suffering. No other rem
edy equals it for building UP the sys-
tenn and restoring lost health.
Every druggist keeps Warmers safe
cure. Give it a trial.
