TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know

Interesting Experience of an Indian
npOIis Gentleman.

npOIis Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having it think that their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring rene
dies; the real seat of the mischief Is lost
sight of: the stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever In the stomach nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
rs in nearly every other organ: in some
cases the heart palpitates and Is irregular;
i'm others the kidneys are affected; in 9th
ors the bowels are constipatcd, with head
aches; still others are troubled with loss
OF flesh and appetite, with accumulation of
gas, sour risiugs aud heartburn.

NIESMERIZED.
Bad Habits Make n Man Act Like H,
Was Under n Spell.

A man will try to convince himself by
arguments so poorly founded that If they
We're presented by another they would be
treated with contempt. AS an instance:
He may be ailing from the heavy poison
of tobacco, or the lighter poison of coffee,
the weakened condition will show some
where in the body: eyes, head. stomach,
heart. liver, bowels or somewhere His
doctor tells him to stop the habit, but each
day the thought comes, 20, coffee and to-
bacco don't hurt me, it's my stomach that
is at fault; I'll have that cured and every
thing will be all right" so he keeps on
with his habits. and goes to drugging a
poor old stomach that would do its work
beautifully if the master would furnish
enough vitality to run it, but he poisons
his nervous system and robs the men,
bers of strength to carry on their work.
When a man wakes up to what he IS do
ing. exchanging his health and chance TO
succeed in this world for paltry habit or
two, he quits them and follows natures
wise laws.
1t is easy to give up coffee if one can
have Postum, the food drink, which is a
fac simile in looks of fine Mocha coffee. In
taste it retains like pungency
with coffee. but has a distinct flavor of its
own. 1t is made entirely of pure grains
and has the ability TO make red blood
quickly.
Tobacco, morphine, whisky. strychnine
and coffee each contain much the same
poisonous alkaioids. but vary in strength.
Postum is a delicious breakfast drink; It
is fatteninE and nourishing, for 1t is made
of the grains intended by the Creator for
mans natural use and scientifically pre-
pared by the Postum Cereal Co., Lin, of
Battle Creek, Mich.

Messrs. NJ V. Watson, C. F. Putnam, C.
]. Hubbard, Richard H. Keith and ]. c.
James will represent Kansas City at the
national monetary conference to be held
in Indianapolis January L. The names,
recommended by the executive committee,
were voted upon last night at a meeting of
the Commercial Club. The conference is
called by the boards Of trade and chambers
of commerce of a number of cities in the
Central West to Suggest such legislation
as may be necessary to place the cur
rency of the country upon a sound and per-
manent basis" The Commercial Club of
Kansas City was invited to send six dele
gates, in accordance with which the fore
going action was taken.
The attendance at last nights meeting of
the club was unusually light. scarcely
twenty members being present. In the alb
sence of President Watson. William Bar
ton presided. Gardiner Lathrop was to
have read a paper entitled The New
Year" but was compelled to be out of the
city. The programme of the evening COM
prised the report of the executive commit
tee and a brief address by ]. V. {. Karnes.
Mr.. Karnes read letter which had been
turned over to him by Gardiner Lathrop
requesting the club to indorse the can
didacy of DR.. c. NJ. Woodward for reap
pointment as Il member of the board of
curators of the State university. DIR. Wood
ward, about a year ago, delivered lecture
before the Commercial Club on the subject
OF manual training, which has resulted in
the building of the training school now
under way. Mr.. Lathrop described him as
by all means the most efficient man for
the place that the state could obtain.
Mr.. Karnes introduced resolution rec
ommending DR.. Woodward to the governor
elect, and requesting that a copy be for
warded to the Merchants exchange, of st.
Louis. The resolution was adopted.

Justice Field and His Retirement.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Justice
Field, of the supreme court, is no
longer capable of performing bis
duties on the bench. He is 81 years
old, aud has been for 81 years a
member of the court
His associates have as delicately as
possible requested him, during the
past year to retire, but he positively
refuses.
1t is with much modification and
sorrow they are compelled TO admit
that the venerable jurist, who has
been great man in his day, is now
practically out of bis mind.
Judge Field persists, however, in
attending sitLings of the court, and
frequently rakts it uncomfortable
for the other judges ,becauses he is
not consulted.
Friends are trying to induce him
to retire early next month. The
business of the court is far behind
and new judge is badly needed for
the far western circuit.

Charmed With Mecklenburg's Good
Roads.

The thirty members of the Gener-
al Assembly who spent last Saturday
examining the Macadam roads which
Mecklenburg county is building
with her convicts, have returned to
the capital greatly pleased and en-
couraged by what they saw and with
the treatment they received. They
express the regret that they did not
carry with them the entire legisla-
ture 30 that all could have dropped
politics for day, at least, and coutd
have seen how the progressive people
Of Mecklenburg are solving the good
roads problem at the same time.
They say that while these splendid
roads cost money, the farmers living
along them, by selling stone, pro-
visions and other articles, get back a
part, and often more than their tools
amount to and this work keeps this
tax money in circulation among the
people of the county and then the
saving in the use of these good roads
is so great that in spite of their cost
the investment is such a good one
that Mecklenburg county is getting
rich on it.
Smaller and poorer countit must
join in this movement for good roads
or they will become poorer still. To
become discouraged because they
cannot move forward as fast nor on
as big scale as Mecklenburg OF
Wake would be as unwise as for a
farmer to give up trying to raise a
crop because he could not run q
hundred plows.-Raleigh News and
Observer.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25.
FRAUD UNDER THE GUIsE OF "RE-
FORM"


Many crimes are committed in the
name of liberty, and much fraud is
practiced under the guise of reform.
For indulgence in this latter prac
tice the present legislature is little
ahead of anything we have ever seen.
The statement of Swinson, the en-
rolling clerk that $1,500 had been
spent in his Office alone to do S6
worth of work, is fresh in the minds
of our readers. They will also re-
member that his Office was abolished.
and he turned out, all because he re-
fused to increase this waste of money
by employing other needless clerks,
at least one of whom was negro.
1t will be remembered that this ac-
ton was taken by the Populists and
Republicans at the instance of the
Populist speaker of the house and
the Republican president of the sent
ate, backed by the caucuses of their
parties.
These men seem to have forgotten
their obligations to the people and
their p arty platforms in mad
scramble for the spoils of office. The
securing of all the offices possible
seems to be uppermost in their minds.
They have already fully determined
to lay their hands upon the penal
and charitable institutions of the
State. These positions of trust and
honor, many of them requiring spec
ialists of long training, are to be di-
vided up among politscal heelers.
Not content with state institutions
they have gone further. A bill has
just passed both branches of the leg
islature electing cotton weighers for
Lilesville, Wadesboro, and Morven.
That is "home rule" with a VEN
geance. This bill was passed in the
house without even referring it to a
committee, and over the protest of
the representative from that county.
More than that, a measure is now
pending, introduced by DIR. Craven,
of this county, to take the manage
ment of the road working forces out
of the hands of our people, and turn
it over to men appointed by this
legislature. Its sole purpose is to
furnish places for q few more hun
CRY office seekers. The people of
Mecklenburg county will resent this
interference with their home affairs
The above are fair samples OF
what this legislature is doing and
attempting to do. We believe that
its work will be repudieted by the
good and patriotic men of all par
ties.
