When the yellow flag of quarantine
is hoisted over dwelling it means disease
and danger. So when the yellow flag
flies IN the face when the cheek is salow
and the clear white of the eye is dyed
saffron there is danger. II is lirer
trouble. The liver is one of the most i'm
portant organs of the body. On the
proper discharge of its functions depend
human health and happiness. When the
liver fails of its duty, poisons at once be-
gin to generate, and other organs of the
body become involved. Never neglect
the liver if you value health. If you are
suffering from liver trouble, begin at
once the use of AYERS PILLS and you will
find prompt relief and permanent cure.

Property of wives in germany.

When q woman marries in Germany
her property becomes her husbands,
absolutely and forever. He can dis
pose of it whether she objects or not,
and if the couple are divorced the
property still remains with the hus-
band. When she marries she gives up
what small degree of independence she
had before. Her husband can compel
her to work, and she has no relief or
protection, should he prove harsh and
unkind, excepting public opinion.
While German wives, as a rule, seem
contented enough with the present
venerable law, wealthy English or
American girls who have married Ger
man mobiles in haste and in ignorance
of it, have frequently repented at
leisure,

1t is the Friend Of Labor.
middleton Tines

The political history Of the last few
that the Republican parry is the friend OF
| labor, and that iii the advocacy OF it's
principles and the enforcement of its
policies, lie the best interests Of the
| working classes. Under the operations
of thr Mckinley law, and during the
Harrison administration, labor prosper
Cleveland and the passage Ct the Wilson
tariff bill, industry was crushed and the
workman thrown out of employment
We all sadly rcmber the panic OF 1898
that almost overwhelmed the nation
and the poverty stricken condition of the
idle thousands who filled the streets OF
the great cities and who were found
every where begging for bread. The
stories of idleness and poverty and hung
er are fresh in the memories OF us ALL.
During the entire time Of Cleveland's
second administration and the existence
of the Wilson law, there was deprass-
ion and distress Throughout the entire
country.
In 1896 with the election Of Mckinley
and the repeal of the Wilson tariff law
came berter times. The operation Of the
Dinnley tariff bill has brought employ
ment to thousands, iii many cases adj
vanced wages, and given general im-
petus to the business OF the country.
To-day the nation after its prostitution
brought by Democratic policies is spIend-
idly convalpscent. In every department
OF business there is renewed activity aud
hope No mam with ordinary intelli-
gence who will give subject considera
ton can fail to see that the policies OF
the Republican parsy have been most
beneficial to public and private interests.
The Democratic party has proven Ia fail
ure. The delusive theories OF the silver
ties and Populists have been happily
avoided The Republican party has
carried out it's promise of protection to
American industries The results Of such
protection are at hand, and with the
etler and further effdrts toward better
ment of the condition of the great army
OF workers, are oyered in evidence.

ished genius with criticism. It
has made worlds get up for roll

Of steam. 1t has curtailed the
power of kings, and graced the
pantry shelves; it has converted
bankers into paupers and made
lawyers of college presidents; it
has educated the homeless and
robbed the philosopher OF his
reason. It smiles, and kicks,
