THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC KN0WL-
EDGE ON FOOD and DIGESTION.

The real cause of most of our diseases is
simply an inability to digest food This induces
thnness, weakness, loss of flesh and fat. loss OF
vitality, wasting away
Loss of flesh and vitality means constant liza
bility to sickness Wasting away is consump-
ton.
If getting thin is what ails You, there is only
one thing to do-get fat. The only way to do it
is to take something which will help your stom-
ach and stimulate it to do its work.
If you are tired out you do not like to move
your legs or arms. If your stomach is tired it
does not like to digest; it cannot do its work.
To eat or even to eat with relish does not
necessarily mean that one is being nourished
Strength, vitality and flesh are the true indica-
tons.
0etting thin is sign that you need the

Pittsburg, Kansas, August 16.-After a
long conference between the operators
and the executive board of the miners of
Cherokee and Crawford counties, action
favorable to the men remaining at work

Albany, N. Y, August 16,-The state
prison commission today issued statistics
showing the number of convicts confined
and employed in the state prisons and
county penitentiaries and the number that
have gone insane since January last as
compared with similar statistics for the
first eight months of 1896. This statement
was prepared in,consequence of the re-
ports that insanity was increasing to an
alarming extent in the Kings county
penitentiary due to the idleness of the
prisoners The statement shows that there
were thirty eight cases of insanity this
year compared with thirty lone last year
in the state prisons and thirty this year
compared with twenty nine last in the
penitentiaries. saAs
In Kings county penitentiary there
were seventeen cases, but statistics show

ARCHBISHOP kEANE IN WASHINGTON
Indignantly Denies Certain Reports Circu-
lated About Him.

Washington, August r16.-Archbishop
Keane, who is here from Rome, paid a
visit today to the Catholic university with
which he was SO long identified as rector.
He was most cordially welcomed by the
faculty and those students remaining
through the recess. The archbishop
says that his visit to America is in pur-
suance of a purpose expressed before go
ing to Rome, to come to this country
each year, and he expresses regret at
recent reports to the effect that his COM
ing would inaugurate a controversy be-
tween church factions. He said today:
There are no factions in the Roman
Catholic church and l am grieved and
hurt by the publication of sensational
articles, which are utterly without foun-
datiOn in every way and which are not
only unkird, but are almost indecent
1t is very unfortunate that a gentleman
cannot pay q visit to the country he loves
SO dearly without being made the sub
ject OF quality of gossip that is simply
pestiferous. I came, as I always pro-
posed, to see my friends and to attend the
meeting at the Catholic university.
cannot help expressing my indignation
at the unwarranted manner in which SO
many of the newspapers have seen lit to
place different purpose upon it.
The archbishop expressed much salts
faction with his duties in Rome. The
statements that he had been candidate
for the archibshopric of New Orleans,
made vacant by the death of Archbishop
Jannsen, are explicitly denied. On the
other hand the archbishop has requested
that his name be omitted from the list
nominated by the bishops of New Orleans
for the archbishopric and sent to Rome.
Designating this request the bishops
have signified their high regard for Arch
bishop Keene by placing his name at the
head of the list of three names from
which Rome will make the final selec-
ton of successor to Archbishop jam
sen. The friends of the archbishop are
sincerely hopeful that the final choice
will not fall upon him, as they desire
that he shall continue in his important
post at Rome, at least until a more
northerly archbishopric shall be open. +

MONO DEFEATED THIS TIME.
The American Challenger Beaten by
Glencairn IL.

Montreal, August .6.-Glencairn, L.
the Canadian defender, defeated Mono,
the American challenger, in the second
of the series of races today for the sea-
wanhaka Corinthian challege cup The
weather conditions today were the re-
verse of those of Saturday, still breeze
blowing from Is to 20 miles an hour, and
the Canadian boat fulfilled the expecta-
ton that she would prove the better
heavy weather craft.
Glencairn's win was about the same
margin as that of the Mono on Satur-
day and the question of final victory in
the series is now admitted TO depend larg-
Iy upon the strength of the wind in the
races to come. In light blow Mono S
chances are decidedly the better, while
in a stiff breeze, Glencairn is looked upon
as a sure winner. Today's race was over
triangular course, each leg one and
one-third miles = long, three times over
the course.
Glencairn got over the line a good 40
seconds ahead. The first leg was hard
thrash to windward. Glencairn turned
the buoy at the end of the mile and a
third at IL :35 :43. The Mono turned at
11:39:3O. On the reach to the next buoy
Mono gained a little, the time of round
ing being, Glencairn, 11:4s:40; Mono,
II 81 100
As the yachts squared off for the reach
to the starting point the sea was getting
higher and they made a very wet and un
comfortable reach of it. The yachts
rounded the buoy, the Glencairn,
12:10:35; the Mono, 1912 80.
The Mono rounded with her jib down,
and, started on the beat to windward I'M
der reefed mainsail at once. After her
faoE tho irr irb g
also having an exciting time of it, took
in her jib and made markedly better
weather.
The Glencairn meantime was opening
out further from the Mono. Turning
the buoy at the end of the thresh to wind
ward on the second round, she was fully
q mile and a half ahead of Mr. Crane's
boat. The Momo's crew were hanging
well out to windward and she was hay
ing very wet time of it. So was the
Glencairn, but she WAS certainly making
better weather of it than her rival, tax
ing less water across her decks and stand
ing up better to her canvass. M
Glencairn rounded at 12:56:30; Mono
followed at 1888 100. On the reach to-
ward the next buoy, Glencairn did not
increase her lead. The yachts started on
their final four miles journey over the
course with reefed mainsail as we'll as
smaller jibs.
The Glencairn made easier work of it
against head sea, tine buffer bow of the
Mono hitting the sea harder.
s..At ten and two-thirds miles Glencairn
had over mile lead and at the finish
Mono had not succeeded in picking up
any of this ground. The times of the
boats at the finish were: Glencairn,
/ :34 10; Mono, 1881.
Mr.. Crane, Momo's owner, admits that
his boat was fairly beaten on her merits
in the weather conditions as they pre-
vailed today. He still hopes, however:
to carry back the trophy.
