TO MAKE COOP TIMES.

You may talk about the tariff and pro-
lection and free trade, and party pana-
ceas for opposing human ills, and sim
proving trade conditions" and the boom
that wheat has made, but the way to
stir up business is TO pay your little bills.
IL you owe the grocer twenty and he
owes the butcher ten, and five more to
the coal man, and to the ice man five,
your payment of the twenty helps along
three business men and the payments
they can make in turn make other peo-
ple thrive. Idle money in your pocket
doesn't do you any good, unless your
bills are paid up in full il isn't yours.
Just pay up all you're able as you wish
that others would, that's the receipt for
hard times that invariably cures. II you
pay what you owe others, others still can
pay you, it's the circulating dollar that
the pulse of business thrills; 80 set your
money working and then watch what it
will do, for the way to stir up business is
to pay your little bills.--Ex.

cy toward the west, will have seized mp

Goethe was inspired with the true spirit
of the prophet and the lapse OF years
have witnessed partial fullfillment OF
his predictions. As he foretold, the
irrepressible tendency toward expansion
characteristic Of vigorous people
has resulted in the building of an empire
upon the Pacific slope. Commercial
towns have sprung up like magic and
now the ripeness OF Goethe's wisdom is
apparent in the birth of the greater
America that is reaching out for imperial
power in the Pacific The acquisition of
the PHILIPPINES, which is only a question
OF months, will make the United States
the dominant commercial factor in the
east. The merit and vitality of her
economic system will eventually make
her the controlling political force, all Ct
which will promo to the veal OF human
ity, civilized and unciviized, within the
pale of her influence. A means toward
that end will be the construction of the
Nicaragua canal. Destiny has ordained
it and the newborn interests OF the re-
public demand it.

Liver
Trouble

When the yellow flag of quarantine
is hoisted over dwelling II means disease
and danger. So when the yellow flag
flies in the face--when the cheek is sallow
and the clear white Of the eye is dyed
sa6ron-there is danger. 10 is liver
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. II you are
suffering from liver trouble, begin at
once the use of AYERS PILLS and you will
find prompt relief and permanent cure.
