Great Oaks from Little Acorns Grown,

Is a line from the trite old verse we used to
recite in our school boy days. 1t has for
chile application to those small ailments
which we are apt to disregard until they
reach formidable proportions. A fit of in
digestion, ''slight" attack of constipation,
it is assumed, will soon pass off, but it is
very apt to get worse, and in the meantime
is neglected until the ailment becomes
chronic, and then, if not entirely eradicated,
Is constant annoyance and menace Of
more consequences, for diseases, recollect,
beget one another. How much wiser to re-
sort to course of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers at the outset of the malady than TO
temporize with it at the start, or treat it
with violent remedies in its maturity. Be
on time with disease, or it may floor" you.
Malarious, rheumatic and kidney complaints,
dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness and
nervousness are all disorders of rapid
growth, and should be shipped in the bud"
by timely resort to the Bitters.

verdict given by the coroner's jury was that
the man came to death by being struck by a
train on the Ann Arbor railroad, by his own
carelessness, while trespassing on the CON-
pany's property.
In spite OF the finding of the coroner's
jury there will remain In the minds of many
people the firm belief that John N. Entwis-
tie was never killed by that Ann Arbor
train, but that his dead body was placed
there to conceal the crime which deprived
him of life.

TO BE COMFORTABLE
During the Hot Season.

Persons who care to keep comfortable
during the hot weather should look more
particularly to their food and drink than
to clothing. Use wheat or oat meal for
breakfast with little fruit, bread and
butter and cup of hot Postum Cereal;
this beverage is not coffee exactly, al
through it looks like the best of coffee.
1t is liquid food made of grains and is
highly nourishing.
Avoid iced drinks at meals as the stom-
ach depends upon heat very largely in its
digestive operations and the ice cold
drinks seriously interfere with the work.
If ones stomach is kept right in hot
weather it is much easier to keep COM
Portable and well. Hot nourishing drinks
at meals are sensible, and Postum Cereal
perfectly meets the want

DECElTFUL EDUCATION.
eow the Farmers Are Being Deluded by
So Called "Farm Papers,"


So Called "Farm Papers,"
There was time not long ago when
the hundreds of farm journals published
throughout the country were devoted to
matters connected with grain growing,
stock raising, cotton planting, sheep
breeding, hog fattening, poultry keep
ing and similar branches of our great
agricultural industries. But since the
free silver craze has been pushed to the
front by the glib tongued prophets Of
prosperity through cheap and trashy
currency, many Of these journals have
become the organs of the men who farm
the farmers for political purposes, and
are filled with the cunning fallacies and
misrepresentation Of the 10 to schem-
ers
Prominent among the papers, which
ignorantly or Intentionally are deing
the work of the silver bullionaires Of
the Rocky mountains, is Farm, Field
and Fireside of Chicago. That journal,
in recent issue, devotes nearly five
pages to the silver question, and tries to
persuade its farmer readers that free
coinage will make them richer. How it
will do this the editor does not explain.
He simply says it will, and expects his
readers to swallow what he tells them.
The reliability of the statements Of
this particular paper can be judged from
it's assertion that the free coinage of
silver at 16 to would not mean silver
monometallism, but would give us BIZ
metallic standard. The claim of the
sound money advocates that free coin
age would put the country on silver
basis is characterized as ga lie and an
insult to the intelligence of every pro-
Queer in the land. "
Let us see. Instead OF wasting time
in disputes over what may be the result
Of free coinage of silver, it is only nec-
essary to look at all the countries which
now have that system in full operation.
What do we find? Simply this, that ev-
cry country in the world which has free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
fixed ratio, such as Farm, Field and
Fireside wants for the United States, is
ON silver basis, and has no gold in
circulation. This is one great fact
against which yards of cheap money
editorials or gales Of 16 to 1 ore tory can
make no impression. No free silver
country in the world, though some of
them have four times as many people
as there are in the United States, is able
to maintain bimetallic standard. Sill
yer, and silver alone, is the standard Of
value and basis for currency This is
not goldbug theory or money shark
teaching. 1t is pure, unadulterated
truth.
Farm, Field and Fireside says that
"Silver monometallism would be almost
as bad as gold monometallism. 1t
would be great deal worse, but it is
important to note that while pretending
to condemn the policy which must in
evitably lead to the silver basis, that
paper admits the unpopularity of silver
monometallism. Its farmer readers
should insist on being told why the re-
suits of free coinage would not be the
same in this country as in all the other
nations of the earth which have tried it.

LAVISH APPROPRIATIONS.

Hartford. Conn, Times.
In the sixteen regular annual apprO-
priatiOn bills, the Senate has added
fifteen millions OF dollars more than
ever before. The river and harbOr
bill contains slO,OOO,O 200 more than is
really necessary, but there arc many
"Checse Creek spoils and jobs in this
bill. Add these two items and we
have at least $4,000, 900 more than
ought to have been appropriated. But
in view OF the condition Of the Treas.
ury, and the revenues short OF the cx.
penditurcs, there should have been
more economy in all OF the apprOpria.
tion bills. 1t Is reported ut Washing
ton that II Is probable that the cx-
penditurcs In the fiscal year, from
June 20, 1896, to June 30, 1897, will
exceed the receipts BY $50. 100000. Yet
Congress shalncfully refuses to adopt
any measure to increase the receipts.
or to strengthen the revenues. II
looks as II the members who control
the Congress desire to embarrass the
Government during the remainder OF
President Clevcland's term. Senator
German made a proposition, q few
days since, to strengthen the Treasury
to the amount OF 10000. 900, but it
was voted down, largely by the Re-
publicans and every shade Of POpulists
and free silver Senators. A much
larger number of such men as German
of Maryland, and Hill, Of New York,
would be of immense benefit to the
Senate and to the people Of the Unit
cd States.
