A Rash COncluSion

1t seems that ut is as certain as
death that a contract between sane
persons will stand
All, indeed
How about "contracts under seal''
made by an agent
How about an usurious contract
How about a contract made by a
sane infant Of, say Is years, to convey
property!
Or of sane infants, lesser age, to get
married?
And whence came the phrase "nmlum
pactum 2'
How about contract between the
people and a corporation that was
practically not offered even in part to
a competing corporation9
Lastly-how about a contract made
between the agents of the people and
a corporation wherein at least one of
the agents was also a stakeholder in
the successful corporation
The JOURNAL believes that if. as the
Forum AYERS, death were as certain as
the validity of contract, especially a
contract made by and on behalf of the
people with an artificial person, death
would be about the most uncertain
event in the universe.
Long One Way-Short the Other.
But Mr.. Oder knows the futility of the
thing. That he knows the history of the
right of contract" is shown by the way he
urged the coal companies to fight the semi
monthly pay law.-Form.
The JOURNAL never so urged" the
companies.
But if it had, and the right of con-
tract" had been reserved by the com
panies, what would have become of
that "most beneficent law p
1t would have gone forever by the
board.
For law that can compel payments
seml-monthly can compel them daily.
A company that makes contract
wherein employment is conditioned
upon wages payments once every five
years would find out, sooner or later,
that such policy, as u rule, would
not work in law nor out of law.
But as the ForHm has brought to its aid
zone of the most beneicent laws ever
passed - the one which shortened a
monthly to semi monthly contract,
1t would be interesting to learn-under
what system of logic it finds that a
tive-year contract is a special benev-
olence to the town of Frostburg, ex-
tended by the philanthropists of the
electric light company?
And why the Forum stands against
the miners as long-contract taxpayers
and with them as short .contract wage
receivers

IfNot, it is a Poor Rule"

1t has been freely argued that as
wheat had gone up in price wages
should also go up.
But, now that wheat has gone down
again does the same logic apply?
Don't say now that, although wheat
went up, wages did not, but state
candidly whether. no matter how low
wheat falls, the fact would be well
coined as an argument for lower wages.
In brief, does the rulc-"higher
flour, higher wages'-work both

FEBRUARY BARGAINS.

During the balance Of February we intend
selling all Spring and Summer goods at much
below regular prices.
We intend to 'clean up all goods of this
class, if possible, before our new stocks arrive.
The greater portion of them are just as good
and just desirable as the new lines will be;
but they are mostly short lengths, small lots
and broken sizes. Yet if the required amount
is to be had, they are of just as much service to
the purchaser they would be if we had ten
times as much for sale.
Shrewd, economical buyers will take advan-
tage of these offerings to supply their later
needs at prices which are much lower than will
be quoted again before next August.

AN OUTSIDE VIEW.

From the Philadelphia Times.
New York city has been protesting
against proposed milk trust and Scran-
ton, Pa, has one and on the whole likes
1t. The Scranton experiment is thus de-
scribed. A syndicate bought out all the
wholesale and retail milk dealers, thus
doing away with the antagonism and COM
petition of all who were skilled in the
business. A central creamery and sup
ply depot was then established. AS there
was no competition to require useless and
expensive duplication of milk peddlers
one-fourth the number formerly employed
were found adequate to do the work. The
public is better served than before, and
the syndicate will save $4,000 in the
matter of milk distribution alone, and is
able in consequence to sell milk at five
cents in summer and six cents in win
ter, as against six cents in summer and
eight cents in winter under the old
method. The milk producers are not in
jured, for the syndicate takes all the
milk produced within a radius of twenty
five miles, and pays an average of half
a cent "a quart more than was paid un-
der the competitive system. The only
persons who seem to have been left out
in this new milk deal are the surplus
drivers of milk wagons, who We're dis
charged and must find other employment.
The success Of the Scranton milk trust
is likely to lead to the adoption of the
trust method in handling the milk supply
of good many other cities.

A PECULIAR FACT.
Thousands OF People Heve Dyspepsia
in Its Worst form and DO Not
Know IL,

A weak stomach Is the cause of about
nine-tenths of all disease. yet In most
cases the wrong thing is treated and
the true cause overlooked.
This is because O. weak digestion pro-
duces symptoms resembling nearly
every disease because IL weakens and
disturbs the action of every nerve and
organ I'm the body; poor digestion
causes heart trouble, kidney troubles,
lung weakness and especially nervous
break down or nervous prostration, the
nerves cannot stand the wear and tear
unless generously fed by well digested
wholesome food.
Keep the digestion good and no one
need fear the approach of disease.
Mrs. II. M. Lee, of Rochester, N. Y,
writes: For the sake of suffering hui
manity l want to say that from child
/ had very weak stomach, threw up
my food very often after eating and
after a few years nervous dyspepsia
resulted and for more than twenty
years I have suffered inexpressibly.

tsed remedies with only temporary re-

til l commenced taking Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets last September six
months ago, have 1 been free from suf-
fering caused by the condition Of my
nerves and stomach; in short, chronic
nervous dyspepsia.
I have recommended Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets to many OF my friends and
now I want in a public way to say they
are the safest, pleasantest and believe
surest cure for stomach and nerve
troubles. 1 write my honest opinion

inquiry at any time and feel that I
am in my small way, helping on a good
cause.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is not a
patent medicine, but they contain only
the fruit salts, digestive acids and pep
tones necessary to help the weak stom-
ach to promptly and thoroughly digest
food.

Tablets at so cents for full sized pack
