Now Enjoying the Best Of HeaIfny
with Digestion Perfect.
"My mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over q year.
She was unable to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in q dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered so much
that she became but the shadow of her
self. One day happened to read tes-
timOnial about Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t
Sounded So Truthful
I persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
OF health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
is AZ years old and says she feels as well
as when she was 16. Hoods Sarsaparilla
made a complete cure in her case.''

" edited by J. c. Rldpath: Trusts are
the great curse of the world to-day.
They are the human devils who prey

They dole out the toiling masses
Just enough of their own earnings to

The greatest of all outlaws are the
trusts and yet they dominate the af-
fairs of State and nation. The stu
pid,ty of the people in electing the
managers of trusts to the legislature
and to Congress is beyond compre-
hension. 1t is like opening the
doors of the homes of the nation
and telling the scoundrels to walk
in and take all they want, even to the
liberties of posterity. The money

LEAKS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.

Wall Street Knows Before Congress Does
What the President Will or Will not
do.
That there is very large leak in the
news aquarium at the White House,
has long been evident. Every move or
failure the administration has made,
has been know in the st0ck-tic king
centres long before the information
was given to Congress or the country.
On Wednesday, when the Presidents
message was expected, the rush for p0-
sitious in the galleries Of the Senate
and House began at nine o'clock. Al
that hour there was no intimatl0n from
the White House that the document
would be held back, and yet Wall street
knew it. Private dispatches had given
that centre the information long be-
fore the majority Of Congressman
knew it.
This shows that the touch between
Wall street and the President Is very
close. II the news does not come direct
from the President, it is given out o.
some member of his Cabinet. When Il
il remembered that the Cabinet con
