The constant advertiser who ire
ouently changes his advertisements,
and thus accustoms his patrons to
look in the paper to find what new
things he has to offer, is the man
who succeeds. 1t is not the tempo
rary, spasmodic advertising that is
the best, but the regular, constant
drumming away that wins the sub
stantial public patronage. The regu-
larity Of advertising is the thing that
gradually, surely brings trade, like
the constant taking Of a tonic not
simply creates temporary relief to
human suffering, but goes deeper,
removes the cause Of distress and
builds up a strong healthy system
Regularity is prime factor never tt
be forgotten in the art OF advertls'
ling. The merchant should always
aim to keep the minds OF the peo
pie upon him by advertising in sucf
a way that the reader will take up {
paper and ask, "What has he Z
saw this time?' He should so ad
yertise that people would get in tn
habit Of referring to his advertise
ment, knowing that if he has
special thing to offer his advertise
|ment will tell it. Advertising is
study, and a profitable one.-O. Z

How Many Voted II.

The liquor traffic is SO pernicious
in all its bearings, so inimical to the
interests Of honest trade, so repug-
nant to the moral sense, so injurious
to the peace and order Of society, so
hurtfui to the homes, to the church
and to the body polite, and so ut
terly antagonistic to all that Is pre-
|cious in life, that the only proper
attitude toward it for Christians is
that OF relentless hostility. 1t can
never be legalized without sin. No

w. C. T. U. COLUMN.
CONDUCTED BY MRS. M. L. HOBBS.
A SHORT SERMON.

preached by the Devil every
Monday morning from the pulpit OF
Six -Days-in the Week.
Dearly Beloved: You will find the
text this morning in First Corin-
thians, tenth chapter, thirty-first
verse "Whether therefore ye eat
or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do
all the glory Of God"
This is one of those texts which
needs careful explanation. The
word "whatsoever," for example,
has no reference to anything a man
does in politics or business. 1t re-
fers exclusively to whatsoever
man does while attending divine
service on Sundays, teaching Sun
day school class, while he is pray
ing in prayer meeting or conduct
ing family worship. This is very
plainly the meaning Of the writer
when he said whatsoever" To
attempt to use the word absolutely
literally would result in the greatest
confusion and disturbance OF the
} political and business world as it is
now organized and carried on. Evi-
.. dently it refers simply to religious
! matters connected with the church
: es and Sundays.
Again, my beloved hearers, let
me call your attention to the word
"all' in the text. 1t is very easy
' to see that the writer did not mean
that Everything man did should
be done to the glory OF God. BY
I "all" he means those things which,
. outside Of politics and business, can
! Ibe done to the glory OF God when it
!. does not conflict with money-mak-
ling or political and social success.
Any attempt actually to do every
thing to the glory Of God would
:, result in the overthrow OF the great
:, competitive system under which we
:. - as nation exist to-day. For, as
= you all know, the competitive sys.
- tenn is founded on selfishness. II
:. a.every business man and every poll.
~ =, tician should begin to do "all'
a. o. things to the glory of God, it would
' as result in establishing business anc
~ :. politics on love instead OF seltishness
,s ,.s and the result would be a complete
"a revolution of all the present system
- - Finally, brethren, having made
a these two points clear, namely, that
- ! "whatsoever' and call" are not tc
! be taken literally, let me urge upor
:, at| |you the careful and regular attend
u ance at church on Sunday. BY al
- ~ means cultivate that Sunday religion
- - which does all things to the glory
~ of God. But remember that 81,
days in the week belong to your
= selves to make money and schem'
! for party places and have a goo'

w w not be disturbed by the preaching
az ~ of some ministers who say that thu
~ ~ text means what it says. They ar

Amid the flowers there IL peace,
For. see. that lily there

A perfume Of delight
Greets the new flower soul just born

Asparagus a Healthy FOOD.

4 delightful vegetable is asparagus, and
aside from its virtue as d food it plays
a most important part as a medicine Each
plant, vegetable, fruit, and, in fact, all
food we eat, has its special work to do
IN tile human system. In meat we obtain
the fibrin and albumen for our blood and
muscles From the fish we obtain the
phosphorus for our brain and nerve tissues;
from bread, potatoes, rice, etc, the StaTchy
elements, which, i'll the system, are con-
verted into sugar. Cheese is ConStlpatiHg,
dandelion leaf said is a laxative. lettuce
from the small amount of opiunit contains
is soothing, and any one who has eaten
asparagus knows how distinctly and certain
1t acts upon the kidneys Nature herself
points to this table dcIlcacy as a true
cure for kidney troubles. Whoever heard of
a heavy eater OF aspa raguS having Bright $
disease? DR.. julius Hobbs, disCoveTer of
tile famous Hobbs Sparagus Kidney PiIlS,
will prove the great results that can be
obtained by this vegetable remedy for the
cure of all kidney disorder. by giving free
a five days treatment to all who apply on

WHEEI.ME TO MEET.
They VIII Discuss Unpopular Rul
inps of the Cycle Board

mass meeting of representatives Of the
various wheeling clubs of the city will be
held in the rooms of the Capital Bicycle
Club, this evening, ut T:30 O'Clock The
object of the meeting, as was stated in
The Times of last Tuesday, is to make a
concerted protest against certain rulings
OF the local cycle board of trade, which the
wheelmen consider unfair. Not only are
the cycle clubs interested in the question,
but every unattached wheelman as well,
and all are cordially invited to attend the
meeting this evening.
Tie wheelmen say It is uni Just for the
dealers to withdraw their support from
the race meets, when they are usually
tile ones most benefited by the adyer-
tsement derived from such events, and
an attempt will be made to induce the
board to reconsider that decision. The
other point is the institution of an Of
ficial appraiser of all wheels traded in
during the coming year. This is unpop
ular with all classes of riders. They be-
lieve that the transaction of buying n
machine should lie between the dealer
and purchaser, and that no third party
has any right to say what price shall be
allowed on the secondhand wheels.
The conference tonight is not intended
to be an ndignation meeting, but one at
may be discussed and steps taken to in
fluence the board in modifying some of
tile unpopular regulations.

REFEREE SILER ON THE FIGHT
Some Rules Which VIII Govern
the Big Contest.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-George Siler, the
referee in the coming Corbett- Fitzsimmons
fight, left for Carson this evening. The
Tribune this morning printed the following
over Silers signature:
There is not an insincere atom in Fitz-
simmons physical or mental makeup. He
looked big and strong TO me, his eye was
bright and piercing; his step elastic and
springy, and ever ything denoted that Cor
belts prospective opponent had been con-
dtioning himself for the ordeal which will
come with four and one half weeks wait
ing.
Il heard" said Fitzsimmons, that Cor
bett wants you to prepare your instructions
for us two weeks in advance OF the fight,
so as to make us both familiar with your
Interpretation OF the rules.
THAT is so, l answered.
wei, bow does he want to ofight-break
clean or hit with one hand disengaged?"
He thinks that you ought TO hit when
you can"
That is, on breakaways."
Yes: on breakaways-justs so one hand
is free"
Anything clSe?" asked Fitzsmmons
He thinks that you ought 10 fight Your
selves loose"
Yes. Anything else?"
NO; further than that Queensberry rules
govern the battle"
That seems fair enough, don't it,,
George"
/ nodded.
We'll, concluded Fitzsimmons, with a
drawl, anything fair for one is fair for
the other. l am agreeable to anything
along these lines"
Having seen Corbett and the superb
shape the Californian is in 1 was forced
to the conclusion that the meeting of the
two men would, indeed, be the fight OF
the century.

The new system, therefore, will turn its
waste into the sewers. Being heavier than
the air it will flow downward, tending to
neutralize the deadly gases there. Thus
economy to the manufacturer combines
with the public interest in many ways.
The quality or the heat from fuel gas also
makes many branches Of manufacture pos
sible. Pure heat is absolutely essential to
nice processes IN mettalIurgy and valuable
evenin the cOarser processes of ironand steel

TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
Peter Hecht Swallowed a Large
Quantity of Laudanum.

Peter Hecht, German fifty-eight years
old, living at No. Al 2 Seventh street south
west, drank laudanum about l O'Clock yes
terday afternoon with suicidal intent. He
was taken to the Emergency Hospital
where DR.. Hooe applied the stomach pump

ceeded in pumping out the poison, thus
saving the mans life.
Hecht lives with his son, Victor,
respectable and well-to-do young man, who

Louisiana avenue. The old man was for
merly the proprietor of junk shop on
street, and later. kept variety store
in South Washington, and also ran bakery
wagon. For some time past, however. he
has had no employment, and this has had
the effect of preying upon his mind until he
became irritable and out of sympathy with
himself and those who came in contact
with him.
Yesterday he became displeased at a
trifle and went to Judd S drug store on
Seventh street, n block below, and pur-
chased small phial of laudanun, paying
10 cents for II and saying at the time
that it was for use in the family, Hecht
then went directly home and upstairs TO
his room where he swallowed portion
of the drug and threw the remainder away
to give the family the impression that
he had taken the whole amount. Then he
came downstairs and informed his son OF
his having poisoned himself, and at the
same time said that he would bother no
one any longer
The young man rushed out into the street
and met Policeman Williams, and No.
patrol wagon was at once summoned and
Hecht was hurried to the hospital Be
fore the drug had had time to produce
any serious effect DR.. Hooe succeeded in
cleaning out the mans stomach, and in
short time he was no worse for his at
tempt to end his life. He declares that
he Will yet kill himself.
