Will You Be
Strong When
You Are Old :?

AS you would protect your
house against the wearing of
the storm SO that it will be pre-
served and suitable to shelter
you when you grow old, so you
ought to guard your physical
body against the inroads of dis
ease, so that it will be healthy
and we'll preserved when you
are an old man.
When you are young and the
forces of nature active you can
often smother these light pains
and weaknesses that trouble
you, but in doing so you have
to call up your reserve vitality.
That is a nail in your coffin,
for it wastes your reserve force,
which should be saved till you
grow old. 1t is this reserve
force which keeps up the health
in old men when they are
healthy.
Every man wastes this force
more or less. Sometimes he
wastes all of it, and instead of
finding his weakness when he
is old it comes on him while
he is still a young man.
His life from that time is
miserable. Devoid of the pow
er of manhood, ruined nerve
power, and finally lost memo
ny and mental imbecility he
becomes a wreck.
This is a pitiable state of
human waste. Thousands of
young men have sown the
seeds for it by excuses and
other causes, but it can all
be cured if good judgment is
used in time. As the power
lost is of the nerves nerve
force it can be replaced by
Electricity, the lite of the
nerves.

of living the rest of my life
in that miserable state" says
j. A. j. Morse, Los Gatos, CAL,
after using DR.. Sanden's Elec-
trio Belt one month.
Have you not noticed how
many people speak we'll of
DR.. Sanden's Electric Belt? 81

pie recommend your Belt" says
a recent letter.
1t is the modern cure. 1t is
the only cure for weak men,
for medicine has long ago
proven its worthlessness. DR..
Sanden'S Belt gives new life;
drugs simply benumb the cry
ins nerves.

Sanden's Belt at once. 1t will

Who Seeded?

The republicans call the ITO dele
gates who voted for silver secession
lists. Are they? We append here the
money planks of the three last repub-
lican conventions:
The republican party is in favor
of the use of BOTH GOLD AND SILVER
AS MONEY, and condemns the policy
of the democratic administration in
its EFFORTS TO DENIoNETIZE SILVER"
Chicago. 1888.
"The American people from tradit-
ion and interest FAVOR BIMETALIsM,
and the republican party demands
the use OF BOTH GOLD AND SILVER AS
STANDARD MONEY. III Minneapolis
1892.
We are, therefore, OPP
posed to the free coinage of silver ex-
cept by international agreement with
the leading commercial nations of
the world, which we pledge ourselves
to promote; and until such an agree
ment can be obtained, the EXISTING
GOLD STANDARD MUST BE PRE-
SERVED. st. Louis 1896.
These planks were oil reported by
J. B. Foraker, of Ohio, the man who
made "a speech at the convention
showing that the party was consist
ent and Senator Teller and his fol-
lowers were inconsistent; that he
should have withdrawn from the par
ty at Minneapolis.
The Republican party has been the
party of bimetalism until last Janu-
airy, when the New York Chamber of
Commerce formulated the money
plank which was SO widely adopted
by the republican conventions
throughout the country.
The republican party of today is
the party OF the boudholder and the
money lender; the party of the
Rothchild's and Wall street. and il il
little wonder that those who have
the prosperity Of The nation at hear
have deserted and are now working

CIRCUS DAY.
Ringing Bros. World Famous
Arenlc Exposition Almost
Here.

Everybody is talking about the
circus; and if everybody doesn't go,
it Will be because even Ringing
Bros enormous tents are not capa-
cious enough to hold the crowds.
The date III this city is Thursday,
July 9th, but the coming of this
famous and popular exhibition has
been so thoroughly advertised by its
enterprising managers that any
further comment would seem unnec-
essary. 1t may be interesting to
know, however, that the five Ring
ling Bros, whose remarkable sue
cess as showmen has been the talk of
America during the past few years,
and whose personality has placed the
show business upon q hitherto uu-
known plane, will be with the show
during it's visit to this city, and will
personally look after the comfort
and pleasure of their patrons. The
enthusiasm aroused by the anticipa-
tons of circus day is a striking indi-
cation of the popularity and fame of
this great show; and in view of the
fact that this wonderful geologic,
ethnologic, arenic, equine and hippo
dromic exhibition is the largest
tented amusement in the
world-that it employs more people,
runs more trains, has more horses,
elephants cnmels and wild animals,
and exhibits under the largest tents
ever constructed-this feeling of en-.
thusiustic expectation can be readily
understood. We suggest to rural
people the ACCESSIBILITY of getting to
town early, 50 as not to miss the
grand street procession. which moves

Was Blaine a Populist?

Il believe the struggles now going

if successful, produce wide spread
disaster in and throughout the COM

silver as money and establishing gold
as the sole unit of value must have q
runious effect on all forms of proper
ty except those investments which
yield fixed retur II in money. l be-
lieve gold and silver coin to be the
