BUSINESS FAILURE
Is Frequently Caused by the Worry
Attendant On Dyspepsia.

If you would win in the Battle of Life
you must have a clear brain, keen
senses, perfect vigor, shrewdness, en-
ergy and ambition.
Dyspepsia kills these needfu1 quail
ties. You can't succeed if you are con-
stantly tortured by dyspepsia or indi-
gestion. But you can get rid of dys-
pepsia, indigestion, biliousness, sour
stomach, or any other ailulent of stom-
ach or digestive organs by simply
taking one or two of Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
With a perfect digestion go strong,
healthy body, clear, capable brain,
vigor, ambition, determination, ener-
gy, activity, keen, alert senses. Dodd's
Dyspepsia Tablets ensure all these.
Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets have new
er failed to cure any or all of the dis
eases named when they have been
fairly tried. They cannot fail.
DR.. R. B. Strong, New York City,
writing in the American Journal of
Health, describes Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets as a remedy which could not
possibly be more efhcacious though il
emauated from council of the leading
physicians of the world.

Low Wages Paid to Women.

DR.. Talmage in recent sermon elo-
quently denounced the low wages paid
to women. He asked, why is it that a
female principal in school gets only
SS25 for doing work for which a male
principal gets 81 $500" Incidentally
DIR. Talmage expressed the opinion that
woman suffrage would not help the
matter.
In Wyoming, where women vote, it
has for many years been the law that
all men and women in the employ Of
equal work. In Utah the news that
full suffrage had been granted to wom-
en- was quickly followed by the an
nouncement that the legislature had
passed a bill by which female teachers
in the public schools were to have the
same pay as male teaches, provided
they held certificates of the same
grade.
DIR. Talmage thinks that woman's
ballot would not help woman's wages,
because women, like men, often beat
down the pay of women in their en-
ploy. Individual employers, whether
men or women, may often be mean to
individual employees, but the govern
ment does not discriminate against its
women employees in states where half
the voters are women A city govern
ment would as soon venture to pass an
ordinance that all Irishmen must work
for half pay In a city where half the
voters were lrish.-Woman's Journal

TOwne may not announce his de-
cision in regard to the vice president
for several days, although several Pop
ulist leaders in the city stated that he
might announce his withdrawal to the
Populist executive committee today
Democratic leaders, however. state
that the whole question has been
postponed until after the middle-of-
the-road state Populist convention, to
be held at Grand Island, Neb., July 20.
The attitude taken by that wing of
the POpuliStS and the strength de-
velOped by them will, it is said, be
closely observed as Il criterion in 9th
er Populist states, and should no seri-
Gus detection from the regular POpu-
lists on account of Towne's defeat in
the Democratic convention be no.
ticed, a conference with the POpulist
leaders will then he held, at which time
it is expected Towne's withdrawal will

class of 1870. In college he ranked high and was the choice of his classmates for orator. He was graduated from Harvard Law school in 1874 and was admitted to the Suffolk bar in the same year. He practiced but little, however, his time having been largely occupied by his du- ties as trustee of various estates and in the management of financial matters.
 Governor Wolcott's public career be- gan in 1877 as q member of the Boston common council, in which he served three years. Then he was elected to the lower house of the legislature, where he served from 1882 to 1884, taking q position among the leaders and winning distinc- ton as hard and trustworthy worker.
 He was elected lieutenant governor in 1893. 1894 and 1895 and upon the death of Governor Greenhalge became acting governor in 1896. In the fall of 1896 he was chosen governor. and in 1897 and 1898 he was reelected.
 Shortly after the resignation of Gen. eral William F. Draper as ambassador to Italy in 1900 President Mckinley ten dered the post to Mr. Wolcott. The offer was declined on account of the pressure of private business affairs.
 On Sept ?, 1874. MT. Wolcott was married to Miss Edith Prescott, grand daughter of William H. Prescott, the his torian, and great granddaughter of Colo nel William Prescott, who commanded the provincials at the battle of Bunker Hill. They have four sons and one daughter now living.
