Every dav adds to the list Of deaths
attributed to heart failure. If the
truth were told the bulk of these
deaths might be written down as due
to stomach failure. For it is i'll the
failure of the stomach and other organs
Of digestion and nutrition, that "weak !"
heart, weak lungs. "weak" nerves and
other forms of physical deterioration
having their beginning. The man whose
stomach is sound, who can digest and
assimilate the food he eats, and SO keep
each organ of the body well nourished,
is the man who is least liable to collapse
under the sudden weakness of some
vital organ.
The preservation Of health which fol-
lows the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, is chiefly due to the
fact that it perfectly and permanently
cures diseases of the stomach and organs
of digestion and nutrition, purifies the
blood and increases the blood supply of
the body. Weak people will find in this
medicine a sure means of strength.

A Boodler Reputiated.

Senator Clark of Montana says he
will yet have 4 vindicatiOn either in
Washington or in Montana. However
this may be. the unanimous report of
the Senate committee without regard
10 party lines or personal considera-
tons, in declaring his seat vacant. will
be regarded by the country as Il Vindi-
cation Of the, Senate itself. This high
body has been sneered at as rich
mans club" where money counted for
everything ana where the means Of
admission We're not too closely eX-
amincd. How false is all this. is shown
by the expulsion Of Senator Clark Of
who secured his seat by the use of
brides in the Legislature of his state.
The committee on elections heard the
evidence. and all the members. regard
less Of party, have united in making
the adverse decision. The full Senate
will unquestionably sustain this de
cision and the repudiated Democratic
boodler must go back to his constitu-
ents who have failed to deliver the
goods they sold him.
Senator Clark and his friends have
made a hard fight. Their chief arsu-
ment was that DAILY. the other Demo-
cratic millionaire who wanted the cleo
ton. was as INSCRIPTIONS as Clark.
Bribery is always difficult to prove
but it was proved beyond the shadow
Of a doubt, and all the copper king 5
millions cannot retain him his seat.
The course of the Senate adds to the
dignity of that body. It has served
notice that its membership cannot b.
| tainted by those who secure admission
| by improper means. Perhaps tn"
| lesson will not be lost upon Montana
now so dscredited in the eyes of the
nation.

Prof. Atwater on Alcohol Again.

so far from regarding the results
of scientific experiments as showing
that the moderate use Of alcohollc
liquors is generally to be recon-
mendod. I myself believe that the
more advisable course is habitual an
stinence. Especially do l emphasiza
the importance of abstinence Tor
Young persons. Alcohol is an excellent
thing for people in health. and espe-
cially for young people to let alone.
This vigorous expression of opinion
from the latest statement of Prof. W.
o. Atwater of Wesleyan University
ought to silence those critics who have
been so much worked up over this
eminent scientists reported advocacy
Of alcohol as a food. Prof. Atwater
conducted extensive experiments to
determine the effect of alcohol upon
the human system, and his conclusion
was that alcohol has definite, though
limited, nutritive value. and that its
effect is that of a fuel but it does not
serve the body for the building and re-
pairing OIL lHc TISSUES. Ills expert
ments showed that a limited quantity
of alcohol, taken with other food ma
terials in the diet of healthy men for
short periods was almost completely
burned in the body, and yielded GER
tain amount of energy; but the expert
ments have not included studies of the
results Of alcohol as brain food, and
Prof. Atwater has never recommended
the use of alcoholic stimulants under
any circumstances.
In some quarters Prof Atwater's
Investigations have been treated as an
attack upon the principles of temper
ance. His position has been under
stood, both by those who feared and
by those who hoped that temperance
reform would suffer as a result of his
researches. Hence his latest state
ment in which he declares that
nothing in scientific investigation
warrants the regular use Of liquor.
Whatever possible nutritive value
scieifce may claim for alcohol under
certain conditions does not abate from
the great moral curse which follows
its use as a stimulant and beverage.
This ought to put an end to the some
what animated discussions which tn"
researches Of the Connecticut scientist
have aroused. He stands for temper

man,
