A SHORT LONG STORY.

The story of disease as Mr.. Long tells it is very
short 1t can be summed up in the three phrases
which are chosen for illustration. IA terrible
cough" Would not sleep" Mo appetite"
When man can't eat and can't sleep, he can't
live If he can eat but can't sleep there's madness
logging his steps. But if both sleep and appetite
fail him, he is doomed man unless help comes to
him When these symptoms are associated with ia
terrible cough friends begin to whisper to each
other that ominous word e0nsNmptfon.

THE EMPTY WAGON.

An Alabama exchange gives this
story Of a former Governor, George S.
Houston, a distinguished man in the
public life Of the State. He had an ap-
pointment to deliver speech, and had
to drive long distance in the country.
When he reached the farmhouse where
he was to have dinner, Houston was
sick. His companion had ravenous
appetite.
'tMr Houston" said the housewife,
with some indignation, Il see you are
not eating much. I know the dinner
isn't much. but it is the best l could
get up. I'm sorry you don't appreciate

many people induced to use foul fish oils or the
modified nastiness of their emulsions. But these
being foods must be digested and assmiiated before
they have any value for the body. They do not
deal with the cause of disease but with its effect
For that reason oils and emulsions do not bring
permanent results.
The reason why DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery does cure many forms of disease, is be-
cause many forms of disease begin in vweak

know of lady that cured of consumption by it."
The cures accomplished by uGolden Medical Dis
covery" are to be attributed simply to a rational
method of treatment. The reason that so many
medicines fail to help is because they treat the effect
instead of the of disease. For example, when
sleeplessness is experienced it is to try all
sorts of so-called "nerve medicines" These are in
general narcotic compounds. They do not feed the
nerves but drug them into drowsy numbness.
When appetite fails recourse is had to so-called
utonics" false appetite is created, and food is
forced on the feeble stomach. But when nature
takes away the appetite desire for food it is be-
cause the stomach and organs of digestion and nu
triton in no condition to prepare the nutriment

vtonics and stimulants only makes the condition

The Three Powers Interested Have
Agreed ON a Plan for settling This
vexed Question.
London, Nov. Although the exact
terms of the agreement are still care
fully guarded, the Samoan question IL
practically settled, and the finalities
will take place within few days.
American control ofTutuila island Is
confirmed and agreed to, while the
United States has, it is understood
signifed its approval Of the projected
arrangements between Germany and
Great Britain. Regarding the details
of the latter the British foreign office
remains mute, except to use the state
ment that none of the recent surmises
of the German press have correctly
outlined the plan, which now seems
sure of acceptance. 1t is also emphat-
ically denied that the United States
has been in any way negected in the
negotiations. 1t is pointed out that
the United States, having secured
Tutuila island, obtained all she expect
ed or desired, but though thoroughly
satisfied she was kept conversant with
and always consulted about the nego-
tiations which proceeded between Ger
many and Great Britain.
Last week it was believed that a
deadlock had been reached and the
diplomats were inclined to fear that
no settlement was attainable in the
near future. The sudden turn in the
negotiations and the overcoming Of
the apparently unsurmountable OBJ
stacles created almost as much sur
prise as qualification. OF course, 1t
is still within the limits of possibility
that another and entirely unexpected
contingency may arise during the in
term of the drawing up of the papers
and signing Of them. But there is
every reason to believe that an official
statement will be given out this week
announcing the terms of the settle
ment of this long standing interna-
tional difficulty.
