A NATION OF pYsPEPrIcs,

From the Mountaineer, Walhalld, N. Dakota
The remorse of guilty stomach is what
n large majority of the people are suffering
with to-day. Dyspepsia is q CHARACTERISTIC
American disease and tits frequently stated
that "we nation of dyspeptics."
Improper food, hurried eating, mental
worry, exhaustion; any of these produce
lack Of vitality in the system, by causing
the blood to lose its life-sustaing elements.
The blood is the vital element in our lives
and should be carefully nurtured. Restore
the blood to its proper condition, dyspepsia
will vanish and good health follow.
For example, in the county Of PembiDa,
North Dakota, few miles from Walhalla,
resides Mr. Earnest Snider, man of ster-
ling integrity, whose veracity cannot be
doubted He says:

Theater-goers are fully aware that farce
comedy organizations generally have
three or four clever people, the balance
being cheap and unknown people OF va

cast. The management of Town Topics
has made a radical departure in this
particular, and there are no "hll-ups =
each and every member is a well-known

MINNIE BRAITSCH
Died OF Pulmonary Complication
Sunday


Minnie Elizabeth Braitsch the 11-year-
old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Braitsch. died Sunday morning at the
home of her parents, 845 South Topeka
avenue, She had been confined to her
room for about a month with a complica-
ton Of troubles superinduced by la
grippe. The two days preceding her death
she sank very fast brain fever and
heart affection having set in. Several
years ago it was found necessary to am
putate her left limb to stop the spread
ing Of a peculiar blood disease. Since
then she has never been hstrong, and her
waning vitality was not sufficient to
Withstand the shock of the dread maIady
la grippe. She was patient in all her
affection, popular with her teacher and
school companions, and had developed
her mental powers very rapidly, proba-
bly, at the expense of physical energy.
Sincere sympathy of all who knew her
goes out to her sorrowing parents who
have lost a sweet young spirit presence
from the household, but who is at last
released from life of pain and harrow
ing disadvantage. The funeral will be
held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the
German Catholic church, the solemn GER
emonies in charge of Father Charles as
officiating priest, assisted by others of
the resident clergy.

BABYS FIGURE IN WAX
This is the Latest Fad Adopted by
DOting Mothers.

New York. Jan. 24-The Herald says:
One of the newest fancies of the doting
mother is to have the baby's chubby hg-
ure and cherubic smile reproduced in
dainty wax medallion. An enterprising
Young woman of artistic talent, who has
started the vogue, already has her books
filed with commissions from fond par
ents. Here is something about her work
and methods which will interest every
household that is frightened by baby s
presence:
Babies medallions have taken the town.
They were introduced by Miss Louise
Eyre. She got her idea from seeing the
wax medallion in the Cluny Museum. and,
returning to America, began experiment
ing from models. Success crowned her ef-
forts and now babies medallions have
caught the public fancy. The medaliions
are done in plaster and tinted. That is
the secret Of all this xperimenting-how
to get the color effect in a not too realis-
tic way. Miss Eyre's studio IS a workshop

These things seem to be greatly in
creasing Of late. and without any ap-
parent cause. We see more men who
lack vigor than ever before. We meet
more women who seem broken down than
in the past. Surely there must be a
cause for all this-and there is.
These troubles can arise from but one
cause, namely: disordered kidneys or
urinary organs. Indeed, it is now adj
mitted that the region of the lower body
is the prime source of most physical Ills.
When the kidneys become diseased the
blood becomes poisoned and all the
troubles such as sleeplessness, lack of ap-
petite, nervelessness, restlessness, tired
and respondent feelings follow in its
wake.
The truth is, people are not well; out
they should be, and they can be if. they
would only take the means of recovery
that are near at hand. In writing upon
this subject, DIR. r. A. Gum, Dean and
Professor of Surgery of the United States
Medical College, New York, says:
I'm a large class of ailments where the
blood is in an unhealthy state,-where
there is no evidence of organic mischief
but where the general health is depleted
the face saIlow, the urine coiored, consti-
tuting the bilious" condition,-the ad-
vantage gained from the use of Warner s
Safe Cure is remarkable. 1 find also that
in Bright's disease it seems to act as a
solvent of albumen; to soothe and heal
infiamed membranes, and wash out cpl
thelial debris which block up the urine
bearing tubes"
It is undoubtedly true that Americans,
as people, are in a more or less serious
condition, and that there are complaints
which have become national diseases.
But it is also true that modern science
has provided an adequate remedy which
is able to fully control it and supplant
sickness and misery by health and happi-

MUSIC AND DRAMA
GENERAL GORDON.


A late issue of Harper's Weekly has
the following notice of General Gordon
and his recent words in the senate:
General ]. 3. Gordon from his place in
the United States senate, announced,
when the followers of Debs threatened in
surrection against national authority,
that he, as the chief officer of the Associa-
ton Of Confederate Veterans-a society
which in the south corresponds to the
Grand Army of the Republic in the north
was prepared to lead 10000 of these vet
Grams and others of the south in defense
of the national laws and the authority
of the flag. In the south General Cor
don's announcement created much en-
thusiasm. He has been so long in pub
tic life. and his career is so well known
that it is unnecessary to give more than
the outlines of his biography.
Hewas born in-Georgia in 1892, and edu-
Gated at the University of Georgia. Be
1861 entered the Confederate army as a
captain Of infantry. He rose through the
various grades. and in 1853 was a major
general and corps commander. When the
army of Lee surrendered at Appomattox,
General Gordon was in command Of the
Second Army Corps. During hostilities
he was wounded eight times. and bears
on mis- face now an ugly scar made by a
Union minie-ban. After the war he took
a prominent place among the progressive
men of the south. and in 1858 ran as a
Democrat for governor of Georgia. In
1855 and in 1872 he was a delegate to the
Democratic national convention. and in
both years was a presidential elector. In
1872 he was elected TO the United States
| senate. and soon took rank as one Of
the most Brilliant orators in that body.
He was elected to succeed himself. but
| resigned before his term had expired. so
that he could give more attention 10 his
private affairs In lSS6. and again in ISIS
he was elected governor of Georgia. and
in 1890 he was again chosen as United
States senator"
