FAILURE IN BUSINESS.
Little Habits Gnaw Big Holes.

large number of men are nsuccessfulin
their business because of some small habit
or habits that rob them of the vitality
necessary to push a business as it should be.
The man who is thoroughly well and can
plan with clear brain and work out his
plans with a healthy body, is the one who
will be in the procession when his neigbbor
has to drop out.
Some men can stand hurtful habits bet
ter than others, but when one finds out
that he is ailing a little each day, let
him remedy the trouble and have the
machine work right, for that is the sure
road to riches and happiness
DR.. j. r. Pennington, Chicago Summer
School of Medicine, 103 State street, Chi
cago, says: The Postum is received,
brewed and used up. like it very much.
The only criticism have to offer is that
it did not last long enough"
Coffee interferes with the digestion of
many people who find it hard to give I'D,
although they know it hurts them. 1t is
easy to do without coffee if one can have
Postum. the grain coffee. This has the
deep seal brown color or Java, and changes
to the golden brown of thick Mocha when
cream is added. 1t is made of the pure
grains. wheat, ETC., and is nourishing and
fattening. and is true health coffee. 1t
can be drank at every meal without any of
the i'll effects Of coffee. Made by the

SEATS SELLING RAPIDLY. /.
The Inauguration Pa rade Stands
VIII Be Filled.

The reviewing stands along the Avenue
on the reservations are gradually aSsum-
| ing the appearance that they will have on
the day before the 4th. They are being
trimmed handsomely, and although this
work - not yet by any means completed,
two or three of them already have quite
gala appearance.
The various stands are estimated to
have capacity of somewhere between
veaadriftythousand. The people
who have secured the privileges are feel
ing pretty good. or course, there is al
ways more or less OF speculation in an in
augural parade stand. great many OF
the seats are not taken until the day OF the
parade, and If the weather is bad are left
on the hands OF the owners of the stands
unsold. The indicationsare that this year
will be a most successful one for all of
them. Seats are selling rapidly and the
sheets are already well covered with blue
pencil marks. The prices range from 81
to So and all prices are being well sold.
Mr.. Chase, the owner of the Lafayette
Square Stand, opposite the White House,
and the reviewing stand, has been fortu-
nate enough to sell whole section in the
center of his 5000 seats to Mr.. Hanna for
the National Republican Committee Mr..
Hanna invested something over 81 900 in
seats for his friends on the committee.
Seats on the Lafayette Square stand have,
perhaps, for this reason partly, been sell
ing pretty well. Mr.. Chase says even the
$5 seats find plenty Of purchasers. The
Treasury stands, too, disposed of to the
clerks in the Treasury at a low price, have
nearly all, if not all, been filled. 1t is be-
lieved that very little speculation is 60
ing on in the Treasury stands this year.
AT the last Inauguration the price at which
the seats were sold to the Treasury people
is said to have induced some Of the clerks
to buy them up and dispose of them at
largely advanced figures. Two or three
people very nearly got themselves into seri-
GUS tr ouble.
There WILL OF course, however, be specu-
lating on the other hand; not under the es-
pionage of other than private parties.
Sometimes this is profitable and sometimes
not. One man over In New York secured |
two hundred ST seats from one of the |
stands week ago, and advertised them |
at SIS each. OF course the man who owned |
the stand objected to this competition with |
his own So seats, and Of course the public |
Is being robbed. Oneof the New York papers |
who secured two hundred seats has so far /
only sold six of them, and will probably |
come down in his price.

Insanity is the horrible dream of
the night perpetually present during
the day. Insanity in women is Oft.
ener due to disease of the organs dis.
tinctly feminine than to any other cause.
The insane asylurns of the country are
full of women whose carelessness of their
health in this particular line has sen.
fenced them to a life that is less desirable
than death. The weakness or shock that
causes such insanity is frequently the re-
suit of childbirth. At the time when
woman's greatest usefulness should begin
she IS taken away from her duties, and
from those she loves, and for months, or
years, or forever is shut away from them
by the bolts and bars of hospital. Such
things are absolutely unnecessary. DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription will pre-
pare women for the trying time of par
turition so that there will be no danger
and comparatively little pain. 1t is the
only medicine in the world that will ac-
complish this purpose. It is the only
medicine of it's kind devised by a regu-
larly graduated, experienced and skillful

or disease of the feminine organs. 1t

them of inflammation, soothing all pain,
promoting regularity, and putting stop

sorts OF diseases by gently stimulating and invig-
Grating the liver, by tonins up the stomach, and
by restoring to the entire digestive tract a regu-
lar. steady material, healthy action. Don't let an
