A wreck at sea Is not the only place

There is life line for the sick, AZ we'll as

Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is not
cure-all, but it is scientific medicine that
goes to the fountain head of number of
serious and fatal diseases. When a man
gets seriously sick, he can generally be
cured by the right course Of treatment.
The treatment that cures many obstinate
chronic diseases consists of pure air, good
food, rational exercise, and the use of a
remedy that will strengthen the weak
stomach, correct the impaired digestion,
invigorate the liver and promote the as
stimulation Of the live-giving elements of
the food. The Golden Medical Discov-

other papers take SPANS side. This is
not surprising. Nowhere else in the
world is there such a corrupt and dis
reputable press as is found in Paris.
The revelations in the Panama scandal
few years ago showed that a large
part of the Paris journals had sold
themselves to the Wreckers and most
of these had sold themselves very
cheaply, too.-At present these papers
are largely influenced by the holders Of
Spanish bonds a majority of whom live
in France. The cowardice and general
and particular moral routenness of

The recruiting officer in New York
gives sound advice to would be-volun-
teers when he says that no man should
enlist for two years whose military
duty would be real hardship to any de-
pendent on him. In time Of grave
need, when a nation needs every mans
services purely personal obligations
must be set aside by the law of neces-
sity. but when no real necessity exists
the obligations of family are impera-
tive, and no man has a right to neg
lect them merely because his personal
lncllnations are for active military life
His real duty is to his home, and the
best patriotism is generally to be found
on the side of real duty.

All sorts Of war news comes tn hand
and we can stand most of it, but when
they give the particulars of how a
squadron of Spanish cavalry on the
Cuban coast charged upon one of our

to retire for assistance, then we beg
leave to record complete doubt, There
is a good deal of evidence that even a
tugboat can make better time on the
water than a whole company of swim
ming horses.
