Seeing With Our Feelings.

A physician makes the statement that
we see with our feelings. There is
more truth in this than the thoughtless
will perceive. For instance, take a
man or woman with weak stomach,
which has not the power of giving to
the blood the nourishment it requiers.
The system is filed with poisonous bile.
Poor blood coursing through the brain
ferer is utterly incapable of enjoying
beauty of any sort. or even. a hearty
meal. The reason the bilious and the
dyspeptic who takes Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters finds life brighter and pleas
anter is because it cleanses the system
and strengthens the stomach. See that
a private revenue stamp covers the top
OF the bottle.

Secretary Thompson of Lafayette
Memorial Committee Pleads.
HE ASKS FOR MODERATION
AMERICANS SHOULD NOT BE
HASTY IN CONCERNING.
Had Tt Not Been For That Nation
the Republic of the United States
Might Never Have Existed-We
Owe More Than We Can Ever
Repay.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-Robert ]. Thomp
son. secretary of the Lafayette memo
rial committee, says he thinks the peo-
pie OF the United States are making a
rash movement in condemning the
French nation for the Dreyfus verdict.
THE people of the United States owe
a deep debt of gratitude to France" he
said in an interview today, "and we
should show moderation and sympa-
thy at this time, instead of violence.
THE people of America must not for
get that as a nation, independent of the
European influence ana dictation, we
owe all practically to France The
treatment of France by the United
States has, under the circumstances
that have existed, been, to say the
least, most ungrateful and shameful.
Dc our people know that. besides Civ
ing us Lafayette, France also gave US
Rochambeau, with thousands of the
best trained soldiers in Europe. She
gave us Degrasse and Count D Estang
with fleets of splendid warships, and
she expended in her cooperation with
General Washington in the war for in
dependence $3.50, 000, 900. She loaned and
gave us outright as gifts of friendship
many millions Of dollars, and she did
these things at time when not to have
done them would have meant the alb
senee of the republic of the United
States on the western continent, in my
opinion, forever.
How We Repaid Friendship.
sit seems incredible, but history,
nevertheless, records the fact" contin-
ued Secretary Thompson, that but a
few years after our establishment of
independence as an independent gov
eminent, through the aid of France, we
negotiated a secret treaty. of friendly
alliance with Great Britain against
France, resulting in this outraged
friend turning her guns on our infant
merchant marine, producing a. loss of
$20,0000 900, which France later agreed
to pay if we would reimburse her for
the expense she had gone to in estab
fishing US as an independent nation.
We quickly acknowledged the expendit-
ure on the part of France of the $780,
O00,0o0 in our behalf. played the pow
erty act and begged them to withdraw
their bill. To this day, 100 years after,
the French spoliation claims are I'M
paid.
"The United States as a government
and the people individually owe to
France, more than can ever be
paid. Therefore, moderation just now
would be the part of friendship, rather
than a wild and useless attempt to in
terfere in her most sacred internal af-
fairs"
