Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it2
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on single scale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominent
say before the public both are certain to
be tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs,
colds and Group there is nothing equal
to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Fol

Severe Wind Storm.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 9.-The storm
which ragged all over the Pacific coast
last night and today was one of the most
severe ever recorded by the weather
bureau. 1t extended from the northern
border down to Texas and from the Pa
ci6c as far east as Nebraska. In this
city the wind attained velocity of 45
miles an hour, but at Point Reyes, right
in the teeth of the gale, the wind swept
along at SO miles an hour. Considering
the great velocity of the wind, the
damage done to shipping was slight,

ment to Cuba.

SAVANNAH, Dec. l0-Colonel w. J..
Bryan, of the Third Nebraska regiment,
has either forwarded his resignation to
Washington, or is about to do so. OF

commander of the first division of the
corps of which Bryan's regiment is a
part, and is understood to have an
nounced his intention of quitting the
service. Gen. Lee is to sail for Havana
on the transport Panama tomorrow, and
Col. Bryan Is believed to have fastened
his decision in order that his corps COM
mander be made acquainted with his
intentions prior to his departure for the
for the island.
''It is well to have the newspapers to
talk through" he said with a laugh.

PECULIAR POISONS
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.

Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death tcalled by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result of inn
perfect digestion of food; the result OF
indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is a heavy, sodden
mass which ferments (the first process
of decay poisoning the blood, making it
thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles /:
poisoning the brain causing headaches
and pain in the eyes.
Bad indigestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation end finally bringing
on disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for Dourishment and renewal, and
week digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di-
gest food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids Cactic
and hydrochloric) and peptogonic pro-
ducts the most sensible remedy in all
cases of indigestion is to take after each
meal, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, because they supply in a
pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trou bles except cancer oEthe stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood
and strong nerves, a bright eye and
clear complexion, because all these re-
suit only from wholesome food well
digested.

pepsia Tablets at so cents full sized

COMMISSIONERS
WORK is ENDED
Preliminary Arrangements Looking to
a Restoration of DisplOmatic Re
lat1Ons With Spain Under Way at
Washington.

PARIS. Dec lO.-Pea6 has been re-
stored between the United States and
Spain. The treaty:was signed at S:45
in the evening,
The joint commission met at $3.50 ,.
M, but the engrossing of the treaty had
not been finished, and at O'Clock a re-
cess was taken until p. m. Upon the
reassembling OF the commission, another
wait ensued. At $50 the engrossing
of the treaty had been completed, and
fifteen minutes later the treaty was
signed.
The extremely long session this af-
ternoon and the subsequent recess were
due only to the fact that each article of
the treaty had to be carefully read and
compared in the Spanish and English,
and to the fact that the engrossing of
the last article in Spanish was incom-
plete. 1t Is expected that the session
which has just reconvened will only last
a few moments.
Many officials interestedly watched
every detail of the proceedings. The
last seal being pressed, the commits
sioners rose, and without formality each
member shook the hands ofall his antag-
onists and exchanged assurances of sim
cere nersonal esteem
The Spaniards afterward commented
acridly uponwhat they termed the bad
taste of the Americans in mastering a
crowd of attaches to gloat over the con-
summation of their downfall and scram-
BILE for relics.
The signing was finished at S:45. At
that time the door of the -chamb Der
opened, and Senior Villaurutia appeared,
and exclaimed to a a group of correspon-
dents who were waiting in the corridor,
"C'est Fini." The other members OF
the Spanish commission followed him
and passed silent through the vestibule
to their waiting carriages.
The American commission strolled
out chatting complacently, and as they
descended the steps the lights in the
chamber we're darkened.

Diplomatic Relations to Be Restored.

DlplOmdllC heldIlOnS 10 De Restored.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1e.-In view of the
approaching signature ofthe peace treaty
the government will be Obliged to very
speedily take steps looking to the res
toration of the diplomatic machinery
necessary to friendly relations with the
Spanisrds.
The recent visit to the White House
of Woodford, late minister to Madrid,
has been enormously constructed to
indicate determination on the part
of the president to return the minister
to Madrid. AS matter of fact this is
improbable, as the whole line of diplo-
matte precedent is in the direction of
wiping out all old issues and starting
anew after war, with new ministers on
both sides. The reappointment of
Woodford might mean the return to
Washington of Polo Bernabe, whose
residence in Canada during the war
rendered him so obnoxious to the Amer
lean people.
If custom is followed, either the next
United States minister to Madrid or next
Spanish minister to Washington will be
accredited with credentials as special
envoy to exchange the ratification of the
treaty now being completed at Paris.
Having fulfilled this function he will
