The gradual growth of a district in pop

a function of the interval after n certain
date. This is especially true Of large dis
tilCtS as a State or nation, since local dis
turbances are mnimized. In small locali-
ties, where sudden changes in population
take place, due to building Of railroads,
discovery of precious ores sudden devc.-
opment of manufa ctorles. etc, the rela-
ton between the population and time can
not be expressed. Certain towns and
cities are however, capable OF having
their population so expressed; such places
arc those where growth has been gradual.
along the lines of varied industries, so
that the affecting of one industry does not
seriously affect the whole locality.
The relation between the two Variablcs,
population and time. is assumed to be
expressed by the general equation

NIGHT work.

Extra strain needs extra strength.
When a man begins to add TO his hours
Of labor, and subtract from his hours
OF rest, ne is putting an extra strain on
brain and body. In such cases many
men make the serious mistake of using
stimulating liquors, or alcoholic medi-
cines. These can only injure. The spur
forces on the horse, but does not
strengthen him. Stimulants are only
spurs. The need OF the body Is
strength. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is invaluable to overworked
men and women. II strengthens tho
stomach, increases the blood supply,
nourishes the nerves, and gives vital
power to brain and body.
There is no alcohol in Golden Med
ical Discovery" It contains no opium,
cocaine or other narcotic. II is strictly
q temperance medicine.
Mr.. Edward Jacobs, of Mareugo, Crawford Co,
Indiana writes; "Aftcr three years OF suffering
with liver trouble aud malaria I gave up all
hopes Of ever getting stout aRaiu, and the last
chance was to try your medicine. I had tried
all the home doctors and received but little re-
lief After taking three bottles of DR. Piercc's
Golden Medical Discovery and one vial OF his
Pleasant Pellets am stout and hearty II is
due entirely to your wonderful medicines"
