HELPING MEN AND WOMEN TO BE HAPPY
 AND USEFUL IN LIFE.
 One of the most beneficent enterprises Is that of preparing reliable remedies for the relief of.physical suffering. In this work the we'll known firm of 0. I. Hood 6 Co.,. at Lowell, Mass, has for many years been engaged. and there are thou sands Of people alive and we'll to-day who freely admit that they owe their health, and even their lives, to Hoods Sarsaparilla. This medicine has a great. CT record of cures than any other. These cures are the natural results of purifying, enriching and vitalizlng the blood, which this medicine does promptly and thor ou2hly.
 The testimonials written in favor of Hoods Sarsaparilla are earnest, truthful statements of fact, and they tell of cures that have excited wonder as we'll as last ing gratitude. By it's peculiar and DOW. erful effect on the blood, and through 1t upon every organ in the body, this medi- cine cures scrofula, salt rheum, and all eruptions, 1t strengthens the nerves, tones the stomach, cures dyspepsia and indigestion, neutralizes acidity of the blood and cures fheumatis m, and it has building up effect upon the general system, giving energy, ambition, strength and endurance.
 The work of preparing such remedy IS certainly most commendabIe one and the success which has attended this bus. mess is gratifying. The people have confidence in Hoods Sarsaparilla, for they have learned long ago that it is just what 1t 1s represented to be.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. That is exactly what Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is. It is the mother's help when she is suddenly awakened in the night by the ominous husky cough, and labored breathing, of her babe. It is the safe resort of the youth or adult when he has ''caught cold" and there is coughing and irritation of the mucous membrane of the throat. It allays the irritation and cures the cold.

ST LOUIS. June 2S.-Ex-Gov William
]. Stone, national committeeman from
Missouri and vice chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee, in an inter
view today, said:
Il have not discussed the platform or
any of It's provisions with prominent
leaders of the party. and do not know
their views, but so far as the silver ques-
ton is concerned. I do not think 1t is
important whether the platform contains
a general reaffirmation Of the Chicago
platform. or whether 1t contains repeU-
tion of that platform. The free coinage
of silver has been fixed as a Democratic
principle 1t was so established by the
fight which eliminated at Chicago. in
1896 1t was a real issue then. and 1t
won, and became cardinal Democratic
doctrine Now I see no reason why we
should specifically repeat the free coin
age plank of the Chicago platform In or
der to prove to the country that we
still adhere to 1t.
Three planks in the Chicago platform
" ere especially criticized by our enemies
They are the free silver, income tax and
government by injunction declarations.
OF these. of course, the silver plank was
the most important Now suppose the
party at Kansas City adopts a resolu-
ton to this effect: We indOrse and re-
affirm in whole and in part the platform
of our party adopted at Chicago in 1886. -
