Exorbitant Rates at Kansas
City Hotels.

The New York Herald has re.
ceived the following Washington
dispatch:
Members of the Democratic
National Committee who allowed
themselves to be talked into send.
ing the convention to Kansas
City are now putting up a howl.
This Is brought out by the eXorbi
tant hotel rates announced by
the Kansas City hotels. One
member of the committee who
supported Kansas City tells of
his experience in this way:
"We were guaranteed by the
Kansas City Committee that
there should be no increase in
rates over those usually charged,
and everything seemed to be as
satisfactory as possible-in prom
Use. Now they are putting the
screws on. tried to close a con
tract with a leading hotel in
Kansas City for rooms for the
delegation from my State-26
members in number, and they
forced me to sign a contract
which will put five people in a
room and obligate me, as National
committeeman, to pay for each
occupant 50 day for four days.

not be i'll session four days. and,
if it adjourned earlier, the dele
gates would not stay. They DO.

wanting the same rooms, and
had to rack across to the tune of

the adjoining rows and practically
none of them crawled back to the
plants before the cultivator re.
turned.
One man ought to cultivate 4
to 8 acres a day, the only addi.
tional expense being ~ or Is
cents per acre, the amount paid
the boy. Brush the vines lightly
with a regular uniform sweep,
but do not beat them. Cultivate
and brush every 3 or 4 days.
If the peas are drilled use the
weeder as much as possible.
AS a last resort spray with 10
per cent solution of kerosene and
water.
Surplus flies are abundant in
the infested fields. This is a
hopeful condition as we find eggs
in every colony of lice. These
eggs will produce larvae or worms
which feed upon the lice. The
disease discovered last week is

Ghosts would Tighten many people
who are not afraid Of germs. Yet the
germ is real danger. If this micro
scopic animalism could be magnified to
size in proportion to its deadlness it
would show like giant python, or
fire-breathing dragon. The one fact to
remember is that the germ is powerless
to harm the body when the blood is
pure. 1t is far easier to keep the germ
out than to drive it out after it obtains
a hold in the system. DR. Pierce's Col
den Medical Discovery is the most
powerful and perfect of blood purifying
medicines. 1t increases the quantity
as well as the quality of the blood and
enables the body to resist disease. or to
throw it off if disease has obtained
footing in some weak organ. Where
ever the digestion is impaired the nu-
triton of the body is diminished. for
the blood is made from the food which
is eaten, aud half digested food cannot
supply the body with bio d in quantity
and quality adequate to its needs.
For this condition there is no remedy
equal to Golden Medical Discovery"
It cures nineiy-eight out of every hum
dred persons who give il u fair trial.
When there is constipation Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets will promptly relieve
and permanently cure.
