Diseases are to the body what weeds
are to the soil. They divert the nutri-
ton which is necessary to sound health,
and the body, instead of being strong
and hardy, drags out a sickly existence.
When the stomach is diseased, and the
other organs of digestion and nutrition
are involved with it, there is a constant
loss of nutrition by the body. The stom-
ache and its allied organs are not able to
convert the foods into nourishment, and
hence the body and its several organs are
deprived of the necessary elements OF
vitality What is known as uweak {"
heart or "weak " lungs, "weak" nerves
and other forms of so-called weakness, are
generally caused by rweak" stomach.
When the stomach and the other organs
of digestion and nutrition are cured, then
the other diseases are cured with it. Dis
eases which are caused by diseased
condition of the stomach are cured
through the stomach. Dr. Pierce s

of the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition. 1t cures

NATIONAL PIKE.
Facts and Figures Concerning the
Building of the Great hirhwau.

| 1b'N''N W hUO vi cal IIlS IlNQlt
Mr.. William Harris, after reading
an article in the Leader few days
ago in regard to the National Pike,
written by a cyclist after making a
trip along the Old thoroughfare,
brought to this Office a copy of the In
dianapolis News which devotes several
columns to a description and history
of the road.
The credit of originating the idea of
i building a national pike from the East
to the developing West is oftimes Civ
en- to George Washington but this
story has never, been fully authenticat-
ed.
The matter was first taken up in
Congress in 1902 but it was not until
! four years later that an appropriation
! of $780, 900 for the survey. was made.
The appropriation bill provided that
the''road should extend from some
point on the Potomac river to some
point on the Ohio and it was along this
| line that the work of the surveyors
first began. They had only fairly
commenced their work when the war
/ of 1912 broke out and they were
checked for the time being
| After the close of the war the people
/ in the interior were more clamorous
than ever to have the work taken up
and Congress made several appropria-
tions to carry it along.
! All this time, however, there were
differences of opinion in Congress con-
cerning the right of the government to
4 make appropriations for constructing
and operating the road, and these diff
ferences were carried to such extremes
that political parts took opposite sides
in the discussions of the question.
In spite of determined opposition the
work was carried on by slow stages
and amendments were made from time
to time until in 1898, (the date on the
bridge at Indianapolis) the pike wa:
built through to the capital Of Indiana
Further attempts were made to car.
ry the work to the Mississippi but i
was never completed beyond the Hin
ois state line where its identity as {
National road ceases to exist
The building of railroads in the ear
ly '40's was the cause of the ending o
all attempts to carry on the pike build
ing and after that there was consider
able discussion as to whether the Ma
tion should maintain the road or turf
it over to the States through which
passed. This latter action was finall
taken and the pike in some of tn
states is still kept up by appropria
tions from the State Legislatures.
In earlier days before the grea
steam railway lines made rapid trave
ing possible the road always presente
picture of activity. 1t was the mo;
important factor in the opening of tn
Great West, which had before been dii
ficult to reach. Along the great lin
of travel wayside inns made their az
pearance, towns sprung up and late
; some of the busy cities of Ohio and In
diana grew rapidly. Not only did
open an avenue to the West but it fur
nished a means of sending the product
: of the rich new country to the market
of the East.
Although it has been three quarter
of century since the pike was bull
it is still in fine condition from it
starting point to its end and is a pat
tern fer modern roads.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last two
years wc5 supposed to be incurabe.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

ENDL ESS CHAIN
Is Not in Favor With Leaders of
the W. G. T. u.
WASHINGTON. Sent u.

To the Leader.
Prominent members of the Woman's $
Christian Temperance Union, now in
Washington, express themselves
strongly against the ieda, which origi-
mated with some members of the orga-
nization in Indiana, of an endless
chain of prayer" for the defeat of
President Mckinley because he stood
by the Attorney-General's construc-
tion of the law relating to the army
canteen. Miss Jessie Ackerman, who
has made two trips around the world
in the interest of the w. c. T. U., said;
Il am not in favor of this endless
chain prayer movement or of anything
so ultra. The w. C.. r. U. is not prop
erly factor in the political world and
cannot see what practical results can
be gained by the crusade; it is not
the public practical movement. l fear
that it will mitigate against the socie-
ty: that it will hurt us in the eyes of
the public. This movement is not a
national one by any means. 1t is To-
Gated in one state, and a large per
cent of the rank and file will consider
it ultra. | am inclined to believe that
the great majority of the w. c. T. U.
members will not be in sympathy with
the movement, but on the other hand,
will be against it." Similar sentiments
are expressed by other members, one,
an officer of the local w. c. T. U., add
ed:"I consider it sacrlegious to use
Gods name in such fad as an end
less chain idea, and | believe that the
Union will do itself considerable harm
should the crusade spread to other
States.'
Senator-elect Blackburn, of Ken
lucky, was candid enough to say, in,
Washington this week: "The Goebel
law is the most odious law ever placed
on the Static books Of Kentucky. 1t
placed authority in a partisan COM
mission of three men and denied repre-
sentation to the minority party" Mr.
Blackburn might also have truthfully
added that the Goebel law elected
Joe Blackburn to a seat in the U. s.
Senate that would have been filled by
a Republican had that law not been in
force, but naturally he did not care to
say anything about that phase of the
matter, He probably needs the salary

The so-called respectable" and

deal to say about the lawlessness
and want Of respect for the courts
which those who do not belong to
their class display says the Chicago
Democrat.
But it is notorious that in great
affairs where the respectable" and
responsible classes are interested,
they are as lawless and disrespect-
full as they dare to be. They
evade the laws Of taxation when
ever they can. They avoid obey
ing the DEGREES Of courts just as
long as their money enables them
to hire lawyers to fight their cases.
Even in small affairs they show
their contempt for courts. Only
