Abstemious Politicians.

The three most abstemious politicians
in the State are David B. Hill, Richard
Croker and Louis F. Payn, with the palm
to Mr.. Hill. Mr. Croker and Mr. Pawn
occasionally smoke. Mr.. Hill never does.
None of these three gentlemen touches
liquor or wines. This is not temperance
lecture, but it may be said that all three
are most of the time in excellent health
and ready to stand the strain of all the
demands upon their time and attention.

Nervous


That DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People have cured OBJ
stlnate cases of locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, and St. Nitus'
dance, is the best evidence that
they will cure all lesser nervous
disorders, because the principle in
the threatment of all nervous dis
eases is the same. Nervousness is
a question of nutrition. Food for
the nerves is what is needed and
the best nerve food in the world
is DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People.
Mrs. Annie H. Magee, of Port Austin,
Mich, says: "My daughter, Jean, was
always delicate child, had stomach trou-
bic, nervous debility and general weak
ness. She had to be taken out Of school
and kept from all study for nearly five
years. About three years ago she began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, and l am happy to say they have
helped her to become healthy, happy
girl who no longer needs medicine of any
kind. 1t scarcely seems possible she can
be the same one who few years ago was
delicate. almost hopeless, sufferer"

Frank Jones on Mckinley.

Hon. Frank Jones of New Hampshire,
long one of the leading and influential
Democrats of that State, but now, as al
ways, sound money man, has renowned
Bryan and all his works. In his own words,
81 do not believe in Bryan or the Demo-
cratic platform, and l do believe in Will
liam Mckinley Mr.. Jones will prob
ably go as a delee ate t-large from New
Hampshire to the Republican national con-
vention. In recent interview by Boston
Herald man Mr.. Jones said:
II knew Mr.. Mckinley a good many
years ago. He and | were in Congress to-
gether for four years. He was Republi-
can and l was Democrat Times have
changed since then. He is one of the
S rongest and greatest men | ever knew.
And | know him. For four years we t
| less than Is feet apart, and we have lunch
| ed $50 OF 200 times together. Yes, indeed,
| know him, and he is one of the best men
that ever stood in two shoes. Doesn't his
whole administration show the manner of
man he is? Where has he failed in duty?
Wherein has he neglected what was wisest
and best for his country? He is firm,
honest, upright and conscientious man,
and he deserves all the honor that this
nation can accord him.
''People and papers may say lie is wav
ering, that he tries to dodge the question,
and that he endeavors to get around and
escape important features. | tell you it is
not so. William Mckinley knows every
minute his position aud the position of his
country, and there is cause and reason
leading to the betterment and improve
ment of the nation in every move he
makes. So it is with Puerto Rico, 50 it is
| with Cuba; SO it is with Hawaii; SO it is
with the Philippines; so it is with the
whole United States and its people
civilian Mckinley is making history,
and | believe he viii be classed with
Washington, Jackson and Lincoln. Not
to-day, perhaps, nor until have passed
away You are young man (pointing tc
The Herald leportel); you will see it."
''No man ever held the wheel of State
in crisis but was subjected to the same
criticism that William Mckinley is meet
ing to-day; yet that will pass away, ano
he will be accorded the position his true
worth entities him to-a position as one
of the best and truest Presidents the coun-
try has ever bad.'' ..

WHAT CAUSES DEAFNESS.
The Principal Cause Is Curnble, but
Generally Overlooked.

Many things may cause deafness, aad
very often it is difficult to trace a cause.
Some people inherit deafness. Acute s.
eases like scarlet fever sometimes cause
deafness. But by far the most common
cause of loss OF hearing is catarrh of tho
head and throat.
prominent specialist on ear troubles
gives as his opinion that nine out of ten
cases OF deafness is traced TO throat ttoI-
Bile; this is probably overstated, but It
is certainly true that more than ha i
all cases of poor hearing were caused by
catarrh
The catarrhal secretion in the nose and
thu oat finds its way into the eustlcn!an
tube and by clogging it up Very soon at
fects the hearing and the hardening OF the
secretion makes the loss OF hearing per-
manent. unless the catarrh which cause |
the trouble is cured
Those who are hard of hearing NAV
think this a little far fetched, but any
one at all observant must have motto
how hard cold in the head will affect the
hearing and that catarrh If long neglected
VIII certainly impair the sense OF hearing
and ultimately cause deafness.
IL the nose and throat are kept clear
and free from the unhealthy secretions o!
catarrh, the hearing will at once greatly
improve, and any one suffering from deaf
ness and catarrh can satisfy themselve S
on this point by using 50-cent box o,
