During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed. one Of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va,
struck his leg against cake of ice in
such manner as to bruise it severely.
It became very much swollen and
panied him so badly that he could not
walk without the aid of crutches. He
was treated by physicians, also used
several kinds of liniment and two and
a half gallons Of whiskey in bathing
it, but nothing gave any relief until
he began using Chamberlain Pain
Balm. This brought almost COM
plete cure in a weeks time and he be-
lieves that had he not used this rem
edy his leg would have had to be am
putated. Pain Balm is unequaled for
sprains, bruises and rheumatism. For
sale by Hill Orr Drug Co.

A Bad Habit and a Good Invention

Necessity mothers invention, but
invention mothers disaster, says the
Toledo Blade, as it proceeds to tell
of the young grocery clerk and how
he was undone by the self-coiling
string-hclder:
The clerk got into the habit, years
ago, of biting off the string instead of
breaking it, after tying bundles. Nat
urally his teeth protested against the
practice. At length they gave up and
wore out
He bought false teeth. Before he
fairly got acquainted with them, so to
speak, the patent string-holder was
established in the store. Then, as
fate would have it, a young woman
whom he secretly admired came in to
buy five pounds Of sugar.
With the activity Of an anxious
lover he made up the package and tied
it. Then, according to his old custom,
he bent forward and severed the string
with his teeth.
But he forgot the holder, and be
did not realize that the end of the
cord had wedged itself between two OF
his new teeth, until, as the spring
rolled up the slack, his plate was
hoisted from his mouth and triumph
antly waved aloft at the end of the
ctrinr

ssJosiah Aliens Wife," in giving
the world at large piece Of her mind
on the subject.of license, asks the fol-
lowing questions in her homely but
pointed fashion: eff deadly serpent
had broken loose from some circus,
and was writhin' and twistin' his way
through Jonesville, swallerin' down a
man or woman every few days, would
men stand with their hands in their
pockets, or leanin' up against barn
doors a-whittlin, arguin' feebly from
year to year, whntherit was best, after
all, to let him go free? After they
had seen some Of their best friends
swallowed down by it, wouldn't they
chase it into any hole they could get
it into? Wouldn't they turn the first
key on it they could get a hold Of?
And if it broke loose from that,
wouldn't they try another key, and
another, till they got one that would
hold him? Do you suppose they
would rent out that serpent at SO
much year to crunch and swaller
folks accordin' to law? Ard would it
be any easier for the folks that was
crushed aud swallowed, and for the
survivin' friends of the same, if they
was killed by act of Congress?'

The Lawlessness Of the Liquor Traffic.

The Watchman thoughtfully and
judiciously comments on the recent
volume entitled "The Liquor Problem
in it's Legislative Aspect and espe-
cially emphasizes the fact brought out
in the volume with the utmost clear
ness that the liquor traffic, organized
and unorganized, sis an arrogant and
!awless power that as yet knows no
master but its own will, and no pur-
pose but its own gain The Watch
man forcibly adds: wherever we 60
in the whole country, we find the
liquor trade biding in bold publicity
and open edfyontery, seeking it's own
base ends by lawlessness that is as
universal as its own existence. And
because Of this lawlessness the liquor
problem in its relation, to municipal
affairs is 'the eternal question of our
country. This lawlessness Of the
traffic has not received anything like
the attention it deserves. Most OF
the appeals against the traffic are
based upon the results of intempe-
rance upon the individual and the
public demonstration and cost. But
this book gives most convincing
array ofsevidence that the liquor traf-
fc, by its own nature, is systemati-
cally and persistently in antagonism
with the law of the land and Of thu
community, no matter what it is
The weakness in the present program
Of mostIEmunicipal reforners is that
they make no thoroughgoing provision
for the elimination of the influence Of
the saloon from the government Of our
cities. There can be no satisfactory
andspermaneat municipal reform in an
American city so long as saloon-keep-
ers can be elected members Of the city
government.-Northern Christian Id
vocate.

probably the best proof of it. In the
year 21O y. D. there were so many
glass blowers in Rome that they had
set apart for them their own quarter
of the city. But with the fall of the
Roman Empire came also the decline
Of the art Of glass making; with the
extension of Christianity the glass in
dustry gradually developed again.

her husbands downward course, and
who continues to love and pity him
despite all MS offences.
When we see that the love Of wife
and children, and the sense of the
duty which he owes them have so little
effect upon married man: We cannot
wonder that those who have no such
restraining influences in their homes
should so frequently debase them
selves to the level Of the lowest
creatures, and content themselves
with the husks upon which swine feed,
instead of maintaining the dignity of
that high estate Of manliness and
honor which is their birthright. We
cannot help feeling, however, that no
one who thus deliberately chooses
evil rather than good isin his right
mind. No man in full possession Of
his faculties would sell himself SO
cheap as does he who barters his self
respect, his good name, the happiness
of all near and dear to him, and all
his future prospects for few thousand
dollars that he cannot even enjoy be-
cause Of the haunting fear that the
robbery or the fraud will be found
out. Nosane man will "put an enemy
in his mouth, to steal away MS brains,'
and to make him an object of contempt
and ridicule to every one who sees
him. No man whose reasoning powers
are unimpaired will do what is dis
honorable or disgraceful and hope to
escape detection, or to enjoy an easy
conscience, even should his acquaint-
ances fail to discover his evil deeds.
No poor lunatic confined within the
walls Of an asylum but is as much
himself" as the men who do such
things.
One first comes to himself when he
feels that it is time to put away child
ish things, to assume the duties and
responsibilities of manhood, and to
take his place in the battle Of life
along with those who have definite
aims and who throw their whole soul
and energy into the effort to attain
them. When he determines to make
a place and name for himself in the
world and realizes that in order to do
so he must keep his name spotless and
conscience clean he is at himself; but
the moment he begins to waver in these
high resolves and permits himself to
be overcome by the temptations and
trials of strength that test his man
hood, his mental powers begin to
wane, and the chances Of his ever
again coming to himself are but small.
But that there is always some hope
left, even though he may have reached
the lowest depths Of degradation, the
story of the prodigal assures us; and
it furthermore teaches that he may
again be reinstated in his former
place in his fathers heart and home

Is IL Malaria or ALUMNI

Languor, loss of appetite, fpdipes-
ton and often feverishness are the
common symptoms of physiological
condition termed malaria" All
these symptoms may be and frequently
are the effect of the use of alum baking
powders in food making. There is no
question about the poisonous effect of
alum upon the system. 1t obstructs
digestion, prostrates the nerves, coagu-
lates and devitalizes the blood. All
this has been made clear, thanks 10
physicians, boards of health, and food
commissions. So "higbly injurious 10
the health of the community" does the
eminent head of the University of
Pennsylvania, DR.. Barker, consider the
alum baking powders, that he says
"their sale should be prohibited by law"
Under these circumstances it is worth
the while of every housewife to employ
the very little care that is necessary to
keep 30 dangerous an element from the
food OF the family.
A pure cream of tartar baking pow
der, which is the only kind that should
be used, ought to cost from forty-hve
to hfty cents pound. Therefore, if
you are paying much less, something is
wrong; If you are paying twenty We
cents or less per pc und, the powder is
certainly made from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in
mind when purchasing baking powder.

Lawton as we fought beside him last July,
and to soc II the Rough Riders could not do
their share OF the work now done by the
splendid men who followed Funston, Hale
and other daring leaders who during the
past six months have added 80 many new
pages to the honor roll of American his
tory.
ITO our shame be 1t said there are men in
this nation so ind fferent to the country's
homo, 80 lukewatm III patriotism and Cour-
age, that they would vet all the work Of
these men go for naught-let their blood be
spilled in vain. But the heart OF our nation
Is sound and the puny folk who deem IL
otherwise are wofully mistaken in their
countrymen. When our flag has been
raised it shall not be ha1led down. Itany
difficulty seems greater than we expected,
1t merely means that we shall exert a little
more strength in overcoming 1t.
III read with pride the other day how
both Senators from California, those OF op-
posite political parties, joined In assuring
the President that California would stand
like rock behind him in seeing that there
was no step-back In the Philippines, and so
can assure him of the like spirit from the
great State OF which have the honor to
be the Governor. We stand ready to give
him whatever he needs in men or money to
put down the savagery which we are OPP
posed to in the Philippines. He shall have
all he wishes to put 1t down quickly, and
whether II Is put down quickly or not he
| shall have our support in ever-increasing
measure until the last spark Of resistance
has been stamped out.
1--WE want no peace talk with men who
bear arms in their hands. When once they
submit they shall be treated with absolute
justice and equity and their rights mos
carefully guarded; but until they submit
they must be taught with rough hands
what it is to make war on the American
flag. There is no East and no West wher
we come to deal with questions OF this kind
| The United States is to be the great power
OF the Pacific, and we men OF the Atlanti,
coast are good Westerners and are as reso
lutely bent upon upbuilding our power il
the Pacific as the men on the Pacific slop,
themselves.
"Our nation must show itself great no
only In the ways of peace, but in that pre-
paredness for war which best insures peace
We must upbuild our army and nav.
until they correspond to the new nee,
which the new country will bring
Above all, my comrades and my fel
low countrymen, we must build up II
this country that spirit OF social and civil
honesty and courage which alone can max
this nation reach the highest and most las,
ing greatness"

IN THE FAR EAST,

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The fol-
lowing despatch from Otis covering the
situation in the Philippines was re-
ceived at the war department this
morning: "Rainy season, little cam
paigning possible. We occupy large
portion of the Tsgalog country, our
lines stretching from linus south, San
Fernando north sixty miles, and east
ward into Laguna province.
The insurgent army has suffered
great losses and is scattered, the only
large force, 1000, is in Tarlac Province
and northern Pampanga. They have
forces so to 500 here and there, proba-
bly, 1000 in Cavite and Batangas.
The mass of people desire peace but
are terrorized by insurgent soldiers.
The natives would be glad of Ameri-
can protection, and would combine in
southeast Luzon to drive out the in
surgents. The only hope OF insurgent
leaders is United States aid.
They proclaim the near overthrow
of the present administration to be fol-
lowed by their independence aud recog-
milton by the United States. Much
contention prevails and no civil gov
eminent remains. The courts are in
successful operation under the direc-
ton of able Filipinos. The affairs in
the other islands are comparatively
quiet, awaiting the outcome in Luzon.
All are anxious for trade and with
the repeated calls for American troops
are giving attention to the Jolo and
Paawai islands. Our troops have
worked to the limit of their endur-
ance. Sickness among the troops has
increased lately, but nothing alarming.
The regular regiments arrived to
take the place of the volunteers are
inadequately differed
MANILA, June N.-An engagement
between Gen. McArthur's troops and
the insurgents is likely to occnr today.
The enemy is massing in considerable
force in front of San Fernando. The
United States transports Hooker and
Grant arrived this morning.
