Another way, which is about as effect,

of turpentine and place them about
the shelves and particularly at the
place where the ants come in. If you
wish to make sure that the ants will
not get to the plate of cake or the
pies that you are saving for more i'm

of cake or pie with little ridges OF
common salt. Ants will not crosa
such an obstruction. Red ants have
special distaste for sulphur, SO fill
little bags with it and scatter them
about the cupboard and they viii

Cases for shirtwaiets.

Beside all the many fashioned cases
that are now used in travelling, for
handkerchiefs, gloves wells, shoes,
sponges, brushes and nightdresses,
res pectively, cases are now made es-
pecially for shirtwaists. They are
usually made of some wash material
of heavy texture, and fashioned much
the same as the large nightgown case.
The edges are bound with colored
braid, and the initials of the owner

CHICAGO, Nov 1--"From reports
which have come to me and from nv
own observation, l am satisfied that IN
diana is as safely Democratic as is Mis-
souri,. thus spoke Hon. w. j. BRYAN
the Democratic presidential candidate, as
he alighted from a Monon train at the
dearborn station this afternoon at 1850
o'clock. He had Just arrived from tour
OF the state of Indiana, and from a pro,
longed trip through various states further
to the eastward. He added that the gem
eral outlook was encouraging, but did
not go into details.
Mr.. Bryan's itinerary today covered a
number of points between Indianapolis
and this city, all of them being in the
state of Indiana Hisscar was run out of
Cincinnati early this morning and he ar
rived at Indianapolis at o'clock lie
made no speech at the state capital, but
was joined there by National Committee
man Taggart and other prominent Indi-
ana Democrats who composed his escort
for the day. The stopping points were
jamestown, Charlottesville, Darlington,
Frankfort, Delphi, Monticello, Monon,
Rensselaer,, Lowell and Hammond
Mr.. Bryan left the private car Rambler,
for good on his arrival here. He had oc-
cupied it just five weeks and had trav-
eled 7,G00 or 5000 miles in it.
CROWDS AT CHICAGO.
Mr.. Bryan this afternoon began his
third days itinerary of this city, adj
dressing a vast concourse at Randolph
street and Michigan avenue. The speak
er's stand was at the side of the public
library and SO dense was the throng
around 1t that the presidential candidate
was literally dragged to the platform by
a squad of policemen, who acted under
the personal supervision of Mayor Har-
rison, who had ridden with Col. Bryan
from the railway station.
Col. Bryan was escorted from the Dear.
born street station by the Cook county
Democracy, through Dearborn street,
Jackson Boulevard, Clark street, Madi>
son, La Sale and Randolph streets,
which were lined with humanity. The
hour was especially suspicious as thoU-
sands of workingmen and office employees
had just completed their days task apd
awaited the coming of the Democratic
champion.
Col Bryan was in excellent voice and
this he used to good effect in reducing
the storm Of cheering that greeted him
when he was introduced by Michael
Shields, vice president of the county COM
mittee His speech was applauded al
most necessarily and at it's conclusion
he was driven to the auditorium, where
he took dinner, after which he proceed
ed on his tour of the northwest side or
the city. where he made eight speeches,
all of which were made to large crowds.

LARGE DoCKAGE.

On the first car I lost twenty eight
bushels and on the second ten bushels
gross weight, besides losing one grade
on the last car, which was graded choice
No. 1 northern at Fertile and No 2
northern In Duluth, and when l appealed
direct to Clausen, the chief inspector
and sent him a sample of the same wheat
by mail, he wrote me a long letter stat
ing that my wheat was very good, and
should undoubtedly go No. northern,
but because there were a few cookies in
it he was compelled to grade it No. Q
northern because the big terminal ele-
vators in Duluth were not provided with
machinery to clean out cookies, but if
cleaned my wheat at home l would GER
tainly get good No. / northern.
On June 26. 1898, our wheat buyer
cleaned out the elevator and weighed out
and shipped all wheat in the house, so
as to be able to report at our annual
meeting the first Monday in July, and
on the best car load he shipped to G. S.
Barnes 81 Co., Duluth, we lost fifty BUSH
els gross weight and never got a pound
back again. We reported to the rail-
road and warehouse commissioners and
the commission house also started an
investigation, but the car was received
in good order in the yards in Duluth
and We got no rewards for our loss.
Why does not some of our good Re
publican leaders tell us how it was that
in the fall of 1898 the wheat was graded
so low that the farmers and local buy
ers called a mass meeting in Moorhead
to protest on the grade and dockage.

Now, l don't know exactly how full 1T is,
but l do know it is four times as full as
it was four years ago. Here are the ng-
ures for the present year for these works,
as compared with 1896: The average
monthly wages paid out are a little over
increase of 257 per cent. The average
number of engines turned out is twenty
eight per month, as against eight. ana

are forsaken. People flock to the rail-

city. But shout warning against dys-

Yet dyspepsia in the diseases to which it
tends, is responsible for more deaths an

THE WEAK SPOT
of the modern man is his stomach. No
man can be stronger than his stomach
because the stomach is in effect the vital
centre of the body. Where does the
heart get its nourishment? From the
stomach. Where is the nourishment
prepared for lungs, liver, kidneys and
other organs? All are nourished from
the stomach. Stop putting food into the
stomach and IN time the heart stops beat
ing. We must eat to live. Everybody
knows that. They understand that the
P:lan that isn't fed starves. But what they
don't seem to understand is that starva-
ton is just as sure when the man is fed,
if by reason of disease the stomach cannot
convert the food it receives into nutri-
ton for the body and its several organs.
The sign of starvation is emaciation,
loss of flesh. That's the sign of dyspep-
STA and weak stomach also. The dys-
peptic eats enough but the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition
fail to extract the nourishment from the
food and SO the body grows lean and the
strength Of the body is undermined.
DYSPEPSIA AND DEGENERACY.
There is a certain physical degeneracy
which results from dyspepsia. If the
body is not nourished it grows weak,
and as the body is only general name
for the sum of its organs and members,
to speak of the body growing weak
means that the heart is growing weak,
the lungs are growing weak, and that
L the liver and kidneys and other orgeAs
are involved in the same weaknessN
When diseases of the stomach and its
allied organs are cured these dependent
Weaknesses are cured also.

very obstinate case Of dyspepsia" writes
