A we'll selected text is half of the ser
mon Given good text and preacher
who is in earnest, and the result is sure
TO be good. The text of this article is a
plain simple statement that proves itself
in the readers own mind without argu-
meut. The text is Good health is bet
ter than great riches.
Without health nothing really matters
verv much. A hacking cough takes all
the beauty out of landscape or a sunset.
Ervsipelas or eczema will spoil the enjoy
ment of sprightly conversation, of beau
tiful concert, of a wonderful painting
The biggest bank account in the world
won't pay man for his health, but a
very small amount of money will make
him healthy and keep him healthy.
Most all bodily troubles start in the
digestive or respiratory organs. It is
here that improper living FIRST makes an
opening for disease The development
differs as constitutions and temperarnents
differ. The causes are almost identical.
To get at the root of the matter is simple
enough if you start right.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is a medicine for the whole body. II
works through the digestive organs on
all the others.
1t cures the first thing it comes to and
after that, the next. 1t puts health in
place of disease in the stomach, and from
the vantage ground thus gained, it
reaches every fiber of the body and drives
disease before it - indigestion, liver
troubles, kidney complaint, biliousness,
skin and scalp diseases, salt-rheum, letter,
eczema, and all the troubles caused by
impure blood.

Not Paid.

Notwithstanding the statement from
Los Angeles that W. j. Homer, late of

intention of returning, it is hardly like
ly that he will do So
Since Homer left here checks drawn
by him on local banks have been COM
ing in to be ca.shed, but as he has no
money to his credit the checks have
been refused. Under the circumstances
it would be very embarrassing for the
gentleman to came back and encounter
the holders of these checks
The Los Angeles Chief of Police asked
by telegraph yesterday if it was de-
sired that Homer be taken into custody
there, but Chief Drew replied that no
warrant for his arrest had been ap-
piled for. Last night another telegram
was received stating that he had left

selves of the opportunity to attend the
