Weak bilious, dyspeptic women are
robbed of their natural attractiveness and
capacity They lose healthy color and
energy and ambition The blood becomes
poor and thin and laden with disease germs.
The true antidote for this condition is DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t acts
directly upon the digestive powers and the
liver, creating pure, red, healthy blood free
from bilious impurities; it renovates every
organ and tissue of the body, building up
hard, elastic flesh and muscular strength
and imparting nerve power and permanent
vitality, which malt extracts do not give.

WHAT THE SOLDIER BOYS EAT

In all the army these days there is
no buster department than that of the
commissary. 1t would not seem so on
its face, for the wheels Of routine
never fail to run smoothly, ever when
they are weighted down with double
and triple tasks, yet there is a new
proposition before the American SOL
der of this generation. and those on
cerned in foo supplies quite realize
their responsibility. In place Of feed
ing $4,000 men, nearly all in garrison,
the problem is now to feed LEO. 900, per-
haps more, many of them in an enemy's
country and on the march.
A very few days is likely to bring
about precisely this condition of affairs.
and quietly, but no less effectively. the
commissary department of the United
States army has set it's great machin-
cry in motion.
Were it merely to put before each
fighting n samp of occupation soldier
the ration he would get if he were in
the military service of one of the on
t:nental countries. the task would be
army chief, feeds the men who war for
him on altogether different lines. Even
in the field. in the midst of the hard
est sort of campaign, he provides them
with a bill of fare that is very much
better. more varied. more full and more
palatable.
OUR BOYS BETTER FED.
No continental soldier gets anything
like the amoun of meat the United
States troops do, and nowhere else is
the daily ration so complete. Russia
doles out, it is true, more bread per
day to her soldiers than we do, but it
is black bread, n the Russian army's
I quota of meat is far less.
In truth, in comparison with the
army diet of the civil war, or ever with
the Franco-Prussian conflict. the mod
ern soldier is luXurOusly fed. Refriger-
ator cars n swift supply boats. equip
ped with refrigerator compartments,
bring him fresh beef n mutton, even
when he is actually on the battle field.
Salt pork and the like are nowadays
dernier resorts, and are hardly likely
to be heard of in the invasion of Cuba,
much less actually furnished.
In his pocket the model army man,
even the private, carries tablets of sac
charine and capsules of lea. one of
these capsules being sufficient for very
nearly a quart.
A powder like substance-pea meal
needs only water mixed with it and
a little haSty cooking to form a very
excellent and nutritious soup. 1t is more
than excellent and nutritious; indeed, it
is ~abundantly satisfying, and the most
exhausted n footsore soldier after
a lunch or dinner off this can go imme-
diately into conflict.

She was much frightened but noticed that in

Bad Digestion, Bad Heart.

Po6s digestion often causes irregularity of
the hearts action. This irregularity may be
mistaken for real, organic heart disease. The
symptoms are much the same. There is how
ever a vast difference between the two: organic
heart disease is often incurable; apparent heart
disease is durable If good digestion be restored.
A case in point is quoted from the New Era,
OF Greensbufg, Ind. Mrs. Ellen Colsom, New
point, Ind, a woman forty-three years old, had
suffered for four years with distressing stomach
trouble. The gases generated by the indigestion
pressed on the heart, and caused an irregularity
OF its action. She had much pain in her stomach
and heart, and was subject to frequent and severe
choking spells which were most severe at night.
Doctors were tried in vain; the patient became
worse, Respondent, and feared impending death.

fight we'll without ample food. Before
a battle-invariably if pOssible-the men
are fed, and, their appetites satisfied,
they march forth fierce and rejoicing.
Nor does it answer to feed men these
times MISUNDERSTANDING scientifically
with so many ounces of n%utrinlent. AS
the old army officers put it, the men
must feel their stomachs full"
1t was a faulty cOmmissariat, army
annals declare, that made Napoleon's
campaign in Russia a failure, and many
another campaign has ended in COM
parative disaster because of the a
feeding Of it's troops.
All the United States army, there
fore, up with the tin. es and experience
of other nations, is alive to the i'm
p%ortance of this question, and it Is
likely hat the American troops of 1898
will be fed as never were troops be-
fore.
MODERN SUPPLY SYSTEM.
Outside of the number Of men, the
sudden increase in the national forces
and the speed with which new machin-
cry has to be put into operation, the
question of foo is not going to be
such a mighty one, after all, for the
trained men who will handle it.
The camps down south are readily
reached by rail, and even an invading
army in Cuba car be supplied without
extreme difficulty. The island Is mar
row, and no army at the furthest will be
very distant from the coast. Cuban
bases of supplies ear be shifted along
the shore at need as the army moves
on, M these can be replenished by
swift ships on CON. missary duties. Pro-
badly in no case will it be necessary
for an invading column to carry more
than fourteen days rations.
Here in this city, in the army build
ing, in Whitehall street, is n of the
greatest purchasing stations of the
American commissary. For very nearly
contracted for in Chicago and Kansas
City, as a general rule-New York is
the chief market.
In one of the rooms Of the army build
ing Colonel Woodruff. the commissary
at Governors island, especially detailed
now to this work of getting together
the food for the new army, sits at a
high desk with bundles of facts, figures,
kilograms and comparative tables be-
fore him.An this provisioning, it must be
understood, is lone by method, rOte
and rule, and a commissary must be b
mathematician who has gone almost
as far as differential calculus, as we'll
as versed himself in the rule of three.
Each man being entitled to four
pounds rations a day in this aggregate,
this means four hundred pounds for
one hundred men, and as ten days
rations are usually given out at a
time in camp and five on the march
this means a bulk of either one ton or
two tons of food that the company
sergeant has his order for and must
brink back.

Every day the regular rangers and

of New York was offered a first SER

"Rebellious Willie" Tiffany had a long
| struggle with himself trying to get
used to Jerry Jackson's compounds. But
Jerry called Lieutenant Colonel Roose-
welt into the kitchen one day and had
him taste his ox-tail PURGE, with the
result that the colonel pronounced it
as delicate a soup as he had ever eaten.
Young Mr.. Tiffany is not used to that
brand of cooking, but he got up an ap-
petite for it after awhile, and now pre-
fers a slice of bacon, a pan of beans, one
of Kane's biscuits and a cup of black
coffee to the private dinners at the AS
toria.

adept with the chatting dish at home.

making, and his Fifth avenue friends
agreed that his soup is far more to
their taste.

The Financier's Review.

New York. Oct. 1.-The Financier sa 81
The New York bank statement for the
current week is an argument In favor of
lower money rates. The excess reserve is
now practically the same as reported for
the corresponding week during two pre-
vious yers. The operations with the treas
ury on bond account are nearing an end.
the demand from the interior Is very
light. and as the bank reserves are being
replenished by imported gold now arriv-
ing. there seems TO be no reason for
further fear as to the future.
The contraction Of 81. $50. 800 in loans re-
ported for the week IL due I'm part TO the
efforts Of banks 20 increase reserves. but
aside from that the liquidation due to
stock exchange operations has been con-
siderable. The increase of 81. $50. 800 in spe-
Gle was brought about principally by re-
ceipts Of imported gold. II is stated that
some gold arrived late I'm the week from
California, probably representing or an
ticipating Australian imports. The gold
receipts, Of course. swelled the deposits
and the increase Of H.37i.900 I'm that item
IL the first reported in five weeks.
The bonds to secure United States de-
posits foot up forty-four and one-third
millions. and legals decreased since July
about 81. 100000. Licenses have fallen on
ten and th~ree-quarter millions: bank de-
posits show a decrease of SO. O00.O 90 and
other deposits s3s. 10000.
This will serve to show what effects
payments into the treasury on the bond
account have had In the last nine or ten
weeks. for very little Of the total of de-
creased bank balances has gone TO lnte-
rior banks.
Since July a. and counting to the end
OF the week Just elapsed. the circulation
OF New York national banks has increased
at least S.50.Ooo. principally on new 2
per cent. bonds. Payments OF current in
terest and principal by the treasury from
this time on Will release large sums OF
money. The outlook favors a decline I'm in
