NOT FOR FRIENDS
Are We to Eat What We DOM
Want.

"A famous physician, in a late article
on the subject of health, speaking par
ticularly of the value of good digestion,
says:
Don't eat anything you don't want,
even to please your friends.
Don't be afraid of microbes; they
will not hurt you.
"a healthy condition of the stomach
makes a healthy skin and good COM
plexion.
Learn and practice good habits;
they are easy and most pleasant
"A diet with an eye to acquiring
flesh should consist of Hquids-mllk,
water, but not coffee or tea; no not
breads, plenty of butter and cheese
Above all, eat slowly and never ex-
ercise until half an hour after meals
Another says: Il have known weak
eyes cured by leaving off coffee, and
hundreds of other cases of nervous
troubles like kidney complaints, dys-
pepsia, liver and heart trouble, and
bowel complications directly relieved
by the Abandonment of coffee and the
use of Postum Food Coffee.
The alkaloids of coffee are serious
poison to many people and when one

St James Gazette Refers to the "Cross

London, April 23.-The ST. James Ga
zette this afternoon discussing the in
terests of spectators of the coming hos
tilities says:
Taking for granted President Nc
klnley's sincerity in saying the United
states do not desire conquest of ter

States are engaged in endeavoring to
expel European power from her foot
hold in the new world. This can hard
ly happen without giving increased
force to the sentiment which Mr.. Olney
expressed in such crude terms in his
letter to the Marquis of Salisbury, and
the war can hardly end without affect
ing the general position of European
powers profoundly, be its course what
it may"
Referring to the possible action of
Europe the ST. James Gazette says:
Spain has done something to put
herSet right with public opinion in
Europe and no doubt she, to some ex-
tent is fighting in a common cause. If

United States at sea thus indica ting
the presence of weakness in the
american navy not hitherto suspected,
the disposition of the powers to inter-

There is great deal of billing and

is a certain amount of gush probably
as sincere as the historical emotion ex-

IN SLAVERY
It Is Charged That Georgia Planter
Has Held Negroes.


Atlanta, Ga, April 23.-Slavery in it's
most horrible form exists on one of the
largest and wea1thiest plantations in
Georgia. The United States grand
jury has returned a true bill against
William Eberhart, of Oglethorpe coun-
ty, charging him with peonage. The
Indictment charges him with arresting
negroes, men, women and children, on
trumped-up charges and under the
threat of prosecution compelling them
to work on his farm and subjecting
them to the most horrible slavery.
Eberhart, it is alleged, has been car
rying on this industrial serfdom since
1895 There are five counts against
him. The first count charges him with
having unlawfulIy arrested Nose Sims,
colored, in Fulton county, pretending
that the negro was indebted to him for
a certain amount. The negro was car
ried before Ben Williams, brother-in-
law of Eberhart, who was a justice of
the peace, and under a threat of prose-
cutiOn it is claimed, Eberhart made
Sims agree to work on his farm for a
period of five years to hquidate the al
legged debt 1t is alleged that Sims was
also compelled to enter into a contract
with Eberhart to place his five minor
children, Weyman, Ned, Sarah, Ophelia
and Richard, respectively IL, 9, 6, and
2 wears at work on his farm until they
became of age.
The other counts are similar, a small
army of slaves being stipulated in the
complete bill.

About seven years ago the La Grippe
visited various sections of the country
IN its deadly might scattering disease ana
death among It's hosts of victims
Most of those afflicted who escaped
death then, have lived on IN suffering,
broken IN health and ambition; tor the
after-effects of this disease are dangerous
A large portion of the survivors have a
feeling Of oppression IN the chest.
A f;ttIe exertion causes violent action
of the heart described as "palpitation."
There is mental anxiety, depression,
blueness of the skin, indicating impaired
circulation of the blood.
The s1upgishness of its circulation inn
CARS the functions of most of the organs;
the stomach and intestines fail to perform
their work, while the appetite and diees-
ton become seriously affected.
This complaint has baffled eminent
physicians and exhausted the results of
pharmacepoeia.
Recently, however, a means for curc
has been obtained.
Among those who have been restored to
health BY 1t is Herman H. Eveler, of BIZ
". Main Street, Jefferson, Mo-, a resident
of that city for thirty-eight years, well
known as a successful contractor.
He was one of the victims of the
Grippe" seven years ago and has since
been troubled with its after-effects.
That he lives today" he says, Is

pecially as a spring invigorator and
blood purifier for every member of the
family, from the youngest to the old
est, could not be better illustrated than
in the case o the Prendiville family of
Worcester, Mass.
It is to be remembered that not one
tenth of all the magnificent cures fairly
dut to Paine's celery compound ever get
beyond the knowledge of the immediate
family; that, in fact, few people have
any appreciation of the number of fam
lilies throughout the United States
where Paine's celery compound is kept
constantly on hand, and Is being tax
en-, or has been taken, by some of it's
members.
Paine's celery compound has already
done an enormous work. 1t has saved
lives. 1t has saved health. 1t has
saved homes.
It is not beyond the reach of the most
modest household, while a much great
er expenditure will procure nothing else

ing Great Britain's attitude toward
Spain and characterizing Great Britain

Their alliance is ignomony, but per-
haps it is just as well that they should
work together for there will be a day
when they will be called to account by
international justice, and that day the
British leech will be forced to disgorge
and Europe will no longer tolerate the
disgrace of allowing the law to be laid
down by such assassins and malefac-
tors as John Bull and brother Jona-
than. That day Europe will have rea-
son for congratulation that they will be
unable to invoke any excuse for mercy.

Wells, Richardson & Co.-Gentlemen:
Myself and family form first class ex-
ample of the health-giving qualities of
Paine's celery compound. Every spring
we use this valuable remedy, and it has
kept my children well and strong. I
believe that it is better to take steps
to keep well rather than to wait till
one is sick. The good health of my fam
lily and freedom from doctors bills
shows the wisdom of taking Paines cell
cry compound.
Every time I have a chance speak
in praise of Paine's celery compound,
knowing it to be superior to Sarsaparil-
las or any ordinary spring medicine.
Yours very truly,

RUBBER COMPANIES UNITE
All Concerns Except the Goodyear
Merged Into One Organization.

New York, April 2S.-By the incor-
poration today at Albany of the Amer
lean Hard Rubber company of New
York city, with a capital Of 50, 500 900,
the Butler Hard Rubber and the India
Rubber companies of this city and the
Goodrich Hard Rubber company of
Ohio go out of existence April &C.
The headquarters of the new com
pany will be this city. Its only rival
will be the Goodyear Vulcanite com
pany.
The new company is not trust, as
the companies which cease to exist as
corporations sell out and lose their
identity in absolute consolidation. The
fusion came of the conviction that il
would be admirable business policy for
the majority of the hard rubber inter
ests to work to one end in a corporate
fusion. The American company will
confine it's manufacture wholly to hard
rubber and it's products, principally
combs and appliances for electricity.
Its president, it was understood today
will come from the India Rubber Comb
company.

SENDS PRICES UP.
Outbreak of War Has Begun to Affect
Many Lines of Trade.

New York, April 2S.-Bradstreet's says
today:
General trade and speculation this
week have exhibited most of the char
acteristics which become popularity as
ISOLATED with the near approach of hos
tilities. While there is reported a
further quieting of distributive trade
in some lines at the east and south,
raceable almost directly to anticipated
warlike conditions, there is a lack of
regularity, even in the reports from
those centers, which serves to show
that, now that the uncertainty so long
prevailing has been dispelled, trade
conditions are being shaped to the new
order of things. There is consequent
ly greatly increased activity in many
special lines at the SeabOard accom-
panied by excited markets and heavy
price advances.
In commercial lines this week much
interest and activity has been mani
Tested in the speculative and actual de-
mand for leading staples, such as
wheat, corn, oats, flour, coffee, sugar,
most pork products and cotton. A re-
Election of this active demand, which
had it's rise, so far as wheat and cotton
are concerned, among foreign buyers,
who wish to anticipate any possible in
terruption of supplies is found in the
movement of prices, which, for the
first time for many weeks past, shows
a general upward tendency
The advances in coffee, sugar, and
rice are directly traceable to war inf1u-
ences marking as they do either a de-
sire the part of the domestic buyers
to protect themselves against any pos
sible interruption of supplies or the an
ticipated levying of taxation to meet
the increased OUTLAWS of the govern
ment. Careful search among the quo
tations for staple products failed to re-
veal any important declines in prices
outside of a fractional marking down
of steel billets at some markets.
The check to export trade at some
ports, notably at the south, is reflected
in temporarily smaller shipments of
wheat, corn and flour. The total ship
ments of wheat, flour included this
week aggregated 1928 bushels
against 1925, 302 bushels last week; L.
654, 6S8 bushels in this week a year ago,
,286, 600 bushels in 1896, 2,431 900 bushels
in 1895 and 2,727, 600 bushels in 1894.
Corn exports this week aggregated
1858. 900 bushels against 4.S66O00 BUSH
els last week, 4,769, 900 bushels in this
week last year and 900 bushels in
1896.
There were 224 business failures in
