Besuon and dfsOrdcred liver

with death. Unless he manages to strike
the knock -out blow, it means that death
will come up in the second round in the
guisc of some serious malady. When a
mans stomach is weak and his digestion
IS impaired, the life giving elements of the
food he takes are not assimilated into the
blood. The blood gets thin and weak. and
the body slowly starves. In the meantime
the disordered liver and the sluggish bow
els have forced into the blood ali manner
of impurities. The body is hungry and
eagerly consumes anything that the blood.

nutrirnent 1t receives for food foul poiscus
that should have been excreted bv the
bowels. Continued, this system of starya-
ton combined with poisoning, will wreck
every organ IN the body. Naturally. the
weakest organ will give way first. II a

down with nervous exhaustion or prostra-

sequence will be consumption, bronchitis

The Piracy of a Government.

If the Hawaiian Annexation Treaty
is not ratified by the Senate, says
Senator Frye, in less than year the
Hawaiian Islands will be under the
protectorate OF Great Britain. That
is perfectly judicious prediction,
as certain of fulfllment as any that
can be made concerning political
affairs. Every man who is we'll in
formed upon the subject knows such
to be the case.-New York Tribune.
How solemn this would make us
feel if we did not remember that
this prediction has been made regu.
larly every day for more than four
years without being a particle nearer
fulfillment now than the day Minis
ter Stevens assisted in the piracy OF
the government.-Utica, N. y, Oh
SerUer.

Who Scores the Trickp

To a mere ignorant outsider it APP
pears difficult to see where is the
great stake OF the Sugar Trust in
the Hawaiian treaty, one way or the
other The Trust is in the sugar
refining business, not the sugar
growing business. Its political stock
in trade is the tariff differential on
refined over raw sugar. This it has
secured to its satisfaction, and
whether moro or less raw sugar
comes in free might easily be a
matter Of supreme indifference to it.
What it got out OF the Dingley tariff
as bonus was the profit OF $4,000
600 or so which it made on advance
importations. This was the bonus
which Secretary Gage asked Con-
gress to take away from the Trust
by a special internal-revenue tax.
There was a splendid chance for the
Senate to show its real hatred of the
Trust. But what did it do? What
did Senator Plat Of Connecticut
do2 Why, the monster Trust got
away from them without the loss of
so much as claw. Perhaps, it is
the very money which Senator Plat
helped vote it which it is now
"using" against the treaty. Lodge,
too, we observe, scents deep con-
spiracy OF the Trust in the threaten
ed reduction of the price OF sugar
beets in Nebraska. But he is glad
to say that the farmers have seen
through the trick. But may they
not also see through the trick of
pretending that there is tricky.

WANTED FELDMAN TO RETURN.
Brilliant story Was Connected With
That End in View.

Mrs. d, Feldman. of Raymond court.
has been a very very unhappy woman
since the Thirteenth left for Mt. Gret-
ma. Before that she had a husband
she adored and two children who We're
the sunshine of their little home. Field
man was a member of the regiment
and when it was called out he went out
against the repeated, fearful protests
of his wife.
When the muster day rolled around
at Grctna he said yes and is now a
regular member of the volunteer army,
to the great grief of his wife. She con-
suited with friends as to the best way
of recalling her husband and one Of
them thought out a brilliant scheme.
He tclt graphed to Fcldman that his
wife and children were starving and
would continue to starve unless he re-
turned to support them.
This was a painful surprise to Field
man. who at once wrote to Isaac Stein
burg asking him to verify the informa-
tion contained in the telegram. Stein
burg was happily able to reply that
Mrs. Feldman is not starving, but, on
the contrary, is being provided for by
her neighbors who will continue to pro-
vide for her as long as Feldman is
serving his country.

UNITED VETERAN CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Services OF a DedioatoTy Nature
Were Conducted Yesterday.

Services of a dedicatory nature were
held yesterday by the congregation of
the recently established United Veter-
an Christian church of Christ. 1t
meets in a small building formerly
used by the Seventh Day Adventists
on Penn avenue, near Marion street,
Green Ridge. In yesterdays services
the pastor, Rev. w. w. Depkins, form
erly of Hagerstown, Md; Dr. Bateson
and Rev. IL. A! Grant b. D., pastor
of Howard Place African Methodist
Episcopal church, participated.
There We're services in the morning,
afternoon and evening. Though small,
the congregations were apparently
much interested in the churchs well
fare, The preliminary missionary
work of Mr.. Depkins, who was first
heard here several months ago, seems
10 have borne fruit in gathering into
his church an earnest little band of
workers. The sect, formerly known as
United Bretheren, has the belief and
creed universal and is evangelical.
At 10 o'clock in the morning there
was conservation service during
which those prominently identified with
the new church pledged themselves
to the support of it and its work. AT
IL o'clock there was an address by Mr..
Depkins, who outlined the belief and
purposes of the congregation.
The afternoon service which began
