An Old Theory

Foodnot Digestedin the
Storhafh.
This Organ only Prepares 1t for Assimilation
by the hntestines.

Until few months ago the medical
profession. as well nv the public at
large. have always believed that food
was digested in the stomach; but
thanks to science, they are now en-
abled to follow the whole process of
the moment the food enters the
mouth until it is taken into the sys-
tenn, carried off through the
bowels. Heretofore all remedies for
the cure of dyspepsia have been given
with the idea Of assisting the .tom-
ach to digest food. and the discovery
that this organ does not digest 1t at
all explains the cause of their failure
to cure the disease. md Its constant
increase in spite of the thousand and
one remedies used. Another and
equally important discovery was also
made; that there are three distinct
kinds of dyspepsia. two of which re-
qufre different remedies, and the
remedy for one must be exactly op-
pOsfte to that of the other in charac-
ter. For instance, acid dyspepsia re-
Iuires alkaline treatment; indi-
EestiOn an acid treatment; these COM
bined and given in one dose neu-
tralfze each other, consequently. can
not be given together with effect.
The third and most dangerous of all.
Intestinal dyspepsia) requires a ger
micide which must be harmless, and
yet strong enough to destroy the
baciiIi which cause the disease. I'm
derstanding this and knowing that
they possess the only germicide
which can be taken internally with
out injury, tHyOmeD the II. T. Booth
Company have placed on the market
IL dyspepsia cure, and the only one
made which treats every phase of
the disease separately. That it has
been n success is shown by the fact
that they guarantee it; something
never done before, and agree to re-
turn the money if n cure is not eff
fected.

French Reporter Got his story.

This is how reporter in France
gained admission to the palace there
while the late President Faure was
awaiting burial.
All the reporters who came to the
palace were denied admission, and a
stony hearted doorkeeper was there
to see that they didn't get in.
They advanced all sorts Of argu-
ments, as reporters generally do, but
the doorkeeper was immovable. He
said he had his instructions, and these
were that none but Ambassadors
should be admitted.
Now there is in Paris music hall
called Lies Ambassadeurs," and one
of the reporters who wanted to gain
admission remembered when he heard
the doorkeeper repeat these instruc-
tions that he happened to have pass
for this music hall in his pocket.
He pulled it ont and found it read
''Les Ambassadeurs, Entree Libre. II
This he passed to the doorkeeper,
who, after officially bowling and
scraping, opened the door and allowed
him to pass in.

Saluting "a Phonograph.

1t will be remembered that Queen
Victoria spoke message of friend
ship and good will to the Emperor
Menelek, of Abyssinia, after the recent
victory in the Soudan. The message
created marked impression on His
Majesty. The royal words were de-
livered on Sunday, the phonograph
working excellently. The tones Of
Her Majesty's voice were reproduced
with remarkable clearness, and Meme
lex was 80 pleased that nothing would
satisfy him but to hear the message at
least dozen times. First he would
listen to the words as they came from
the trumpet of the phonograph, and
then he would use the ear tubes.
When his curiosity and delight had
been satisfied, he relapsed into solemn
silence, and ordered the royal salute
and remained standing while seven.
teen guns were fired. Menelek him
self has tried to send message by the
phonograph, so that he appreciates the
difficulty Of securing q satisfactory
record.

Date Palms For Arizonn.

The most expert pathologist of the
Agricultural Department, DIR. Twin
gle, is now in Morocco on mission
which the department hopes will
launch new and profitable industry
in the most arid sections of our South
west. 1t has been found that date
palms, with some irrigation, will grow
as well in Arizona as in Arabia. Early
Mormon settlers in the Territory
proved this many years ago, but the
trees were not of the best variety, and
date growing never developed as an
industry.
The Agricultural Department has
prepared to push the experiment on
an extensive scale. DIR. Zwingle is
making a close study of the African
date palm, selecting the finest varie.
ties and those best adapted to our arid
region. These young trees will be
carefully shipped to Arizona, where
they will be planted and cared for un'
der the close supervision of the de.
partment's experts. The plants will

in the centre of the back of the hand.
Those which are purchased from

others have it placed on the wrist

sition is not altogether very advan-
tageous one, rs glove usually wrin-

To send the colonist to Liberia is
manifestly but the first step in the
process Of colonization. Those who
managed the work in the earlier days
understood this and acted accord
ingly, but after an Independent Gov
ernment had been set up and prosper
ity seemed assured. the careful man.
agement so necessary to such an
enterprise was withdrawn. The
paradox has again come true, for
colonization was abandoned on
account of its success. Recent efforts
should be called emigration or de-
portation merely, the essential idea
of colonization being absent. De-
portation has failed. 1t is worse than
foolish to expect the inexperienced
emigrant to take up single handed the
conquest of the tropical forest in the
face of the difficulties of pioneer life
in Africa. Unusual endurance or
some exceptional fortune may bring
him through, but the chances are
mostly against him. The battle with
the fever and the forest is too long.
Five years of suffering, starvation and
homesickness mean deterioration
which subsequent prosperity can
scarcely atone for, even if the colon
lists family is spared by death.
Colonization means the partial re-
moval OF these difficulties, and the
success which attended early efforts
OF the kind is an indication of what
might be expected if the resources of
modern civilization were brought to
bear upon the problem. 1t is at least
certain that Liberia could offer oppor.
tunities considerably superior to those
being eagerly sought by Europeans in
the African colonies of the various
powers. Indeed, Liberia is already
in advance of any of these colonies, il
we interpret the signs Alright. There
is more coffee under cultivation, and
there are more good farms owned and
managed by negroes than in any other
part of tropical Africa. There are
more good houses, moro intelligent
people, more churches and more
schools, and, while the aggregate is
yet infinitesimal compared with Eu.
rope or America, it constitutes the

With the inception OF colonial
policy by the United States the con-
dition of our first foreign colony has
taken on new interest. The Republic
of Liberia was founded and governed
by the colonization societies, an mr.
rangement which might have contin-
ned indefinitely had not Great Britain
raised the question of sovereignty in
connection with dispute over bound
aries. The Government of the United
States having refused protection, the
Liberians were advised to declare
their independence, which they did

small settlement. All the farmers
own the land they cultivate, and
many have valuable estates.
The coffee plantations OF the st.
Paul's River region OF Liberia would,
indeed, be revelation to many. The
planters house is usually OF brick,
two stories high and with wide veran-
das, at least in front. Inside it is
comfortably and sometimes luxurious
ly furnished, and the owner prides
himself, perhaps, that he has achieved
in Africa property and social status
equal to that in America. There are
not, however, any really rich men in
Liberia. 1t is doubtful whether O
fortune Of more than $40, 900 has ever
been accumulated there. Each col
onist has had to begin with little or.
usually, with nothing, and his pres
ent prosperity is in nearly every case
the result OF his own industry. There

Government provides emigrants with

But it will not do to continue this
recital Of facts favorable to Liberia
without admitting and explaining the
popular adverse opinion on the sub
ject. The well-informed reader has
noticed before this an entire discrep-
ancy with the frequently published
reports Of returning emigrants. Their
narratives are usually exaggerated,
and often incoherent, but in the main
true. Liberia resembles the house
