foolhardy act are few and far between.
There are tens of thousands of men who
daily do a much more rash and dangerous
deed. They are the men who overwork
and neglect their health. No man can do
this with impunitv. The inevitable result
is serious illness and premature death.
One of the most ommon results of care
lessness in regard to health is consumption.
There is one, and only one, unfailing rem
edy for this dread disease. 1t is DR.. PierCe's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t has a record
of thirty years, during which time it has
cured QS per cent. of all cases of bronchial,
throat and lung affections. 1t acts directly
on the digestive and nutritive organism. 1t
creates a healthy appetite for food, facili-
tates the flow of digestive juices and pro-
notes the assimilation of the life-giving ele-
ments of the food. It's the great blood-uak-
er, h~esh-builder and uerve-tonic. In cases
of nervous prostration it builds up the nerve
fbres and gives sound, refreshing sleep.

the life of the burglar is not an easy
one, says the Chautauquan. Mr.. Guy
writes as follows: 1T has been truly
said that it is easier for camel to go
through the eye of needle than for n
burglar to make a successful raid on q
building completely equipped with
electric-nlarm devices. 1t Is not at all
necessary that the occupants of tho
premises shall take any active part in
resisting the burglary. They can lie
quietly in bed and yet be aware Of
every movement Of the unsuspectinC
thief below. He may touch the wire of
the fence inclosing the grounds, or
tread on the door mat, or open win
dow, or tamper with lock, or cut
through wood panel. In any of these
cases an alarm Ia telegraphed all over
the house and at the police station aud
even IL the cracksman should get inside
the house an invisible wire, stretched
across the hall or threading the corrid-
ors, may at any moment swing upon
him the barrel swivel gun and dis
charge it's contents simultaneously.
The electric fire-alarm is equally trust
worthy. It is sounded at the fire station
by the operation Of thermostat in any
room in which the temperature has
been raised above certain point by an
incipient fire." - ..

The results of recent investigation
have established, beyond question. the
great value Of the new preparation
for indigestion and stomach troubles;
it Is composed of the digestive acids,
pepsin, bismuth, Golden Seal and
similar stomachics,. prepared in the
form OF 20 grain lozenges, pleasant to
the taste, convenient to carry when
travelling, harmless to the most deli
cate stomach, and probably the SAT-
est, most efectual cure yet discover
ed for indigestion, sour stomach, loss
OF appetite and flesh, nausea, sick
headaches, palpitation of the heart,
and the many symptoms arising from
imperfect digestion of food. They
cure because they cause the food to
be promptly and thoroughly digested
before it has time to sour, ferment
and poison the blood and nervous
system.
Over six thousand people in the
state ut Michigan alone in 1894 we're
cured OF stomach troubles by Stuart's

The only English Thing.

The American frigate Constitution
was a beautiful ship, and wherever she
went excited the most favorable COM
ment. After the war of 1912 she was
visited by an English officer of high
rank, who, after making an inspection,
said: This is one of the finest irigates
ever saw, if not the finest; but must
say that her wheel is clumsy and ugly,
and unworthy of the vessel" The Yam
lSee captain replied: "Sir, that wheel
is the only English thing in the ship.
During her action with Inc Java her
own wheel was knocked to pieces by
shot. After the Java was captured we
took her wheel and fitted it TO the Con-
stitution, and, although we think it as
ugly as. you do, we have kept it as
trophy"
