A BROKEN BRIDGE.
Patched and Broken Bridges Are Unsafe
for Man and Beast.

Patched and Broken Bridges Are Unsafe
for Man and Beast.
1t is an old and true adsge that a
bridge is only as strong as its weakest
tlmbers.
Practical builders are unanimous in
the opinion that it is poor policy to
patch up broken structure. 1t is more
profitable to build it over anew.
This is also true of the human struc-
ture, designed by the greatest of archl-
tects and fashioned by the Divine
Builder.
When disease lays its hold on the hui
man body 1t is folly to patch up the
system with stimulants and drugs. Lit
is wisdom to start at the seat of the
trouble and remove the cause.
The stomach is the seat of most of
our bodily ills. Keep it strong and
healthy and there will be no sleepless
nights, no bilious and nervous attacks.
Impure blood affects the stomach and
that organ at once shows its d'sap
prevail in dyspepsia, headache, nervous
ness, constipation, languor, catsrrh, and
many other ills.
Like the decaying bridge, it cannot be
patched up. The whole structure must
be made strong and healthy again. You
must begin a the foundation, the sta'
of he disease Remedies that assist II
the digestion of TODD do not reach the
cause of the trouble. They only mhh~
the stomach dependent on stimulant.
Knox Stomach Tablls are new
combination of thoroughly tried and
tested remedies for the puriiicatlon or
the blood, the cure Of cajarrh, nervous
ness, inactive liver, constipation. dys-
pepsia, and oil arrangements of the
stomach, blood liver and kidneys. They
do not act as stimuIant, but purify
the blood and transform the weak and
infirm into strong healthy men and
women. "A single box containing fifty
tablets will be worth more than gold to
the sufferer; not only sffOrding immt-
date relief from indigestion but posi-
tive cure for dyspepsia.
Ii unable t. secure them of your
druggist, send fifty cents with your sd
dress and that of your dealer to the
Knox Chemi al Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
and full sized box will be sent pos
paid.

"The West Yorkshres were moving stealthily along and were within bayonet | striking distance when nervous private l fired his rifle. This warned the Boers and they fled.

They locked the door and went to bed. The next morning both men were dead and the gas was turned on. The only effects the men mad were bottle of whiskey pistol and a dollar or two in change. The wounds on the bodies, Coroner Gotte says, were proba- bly the fncisions made in embalming. There were no marks of violence.

 Anxiety is Felt
 Despite the brighter outlook today the Times in it's review of the situation voices the anxiety felt, and says: "The activity the Boers display at point separated by hundreds of miles. their ability to invest several towns, their readiness to offer bat tie at Belmont and again at Gras-Pan, the widespread operations south of Orange river, and their bold and offensive action in Natal seem to indicate numbers far in ex- cess of our estimates. It is clear that the military requirements were at first greatly under-estimated, and the the sixth division ought immediately prepare for embarka- tion.'
 This, coming from the hitherto optimistic Times, Is significant.
