1t cannot be repeated too often that the
stomach is the fountain which supplies
every part Of the body. If the stomach is
sick, the brain, heart liver, bowels and
kidneys are all sick. The trouble may all
be felt in one spot; it may be in the stom-
ach itself, or it may be in the brain, or In
IL rheumatic muscle. 1t will be felt In the
weakest place. Paines celery compound
is fully competent to correct all such dis
ordered conditions Of tho stomach, and to
restore healthy, hearty tono that will en-
ablo 1t to meet every demand mldo upon
1t by hard worked brain, heart and
nerves.

Chicago, Jan. 22.--After waiting upon
the scale committee since Tuesday the
delegates TO the interstate joint con-
ference Of bituminous coal operators
and miners of Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois. and tho miners of
West Virginia, received a very unsat-
isfactory report. 1t was presented at
yesterday afternoons session and en-
bodied these propositions: The adop-
ton Of the mine run, or gross weight
system, and the uniformity of hours Of
labor. No mention of an advance in
wages was made.
The report was accepted by the con-
vention, and its consideration seriattm
was commenced. But 1t quickly be-
came apparent that no progress could
be made under the rules governing the
convention. which require an affrma-
tive vote TO carry any proposition.
Finally the convention was resolved
into committee of the whole. A vote
was taken on the motion to adopt the
mine run, and resulted: Yeas, q; nays,
T. This vote, tn" chair ruled, was a
defeat for the molten.
