Rev. Mr.. Kincaid believes that if
there is a war between Russia and
Great Britain the United States should
take sides with the English. Perhaps
such an alliance would not be necces-
slry. With Great Britain and Turkey
attacking on one side and Japan on the
other, the chances are that Russia
which never has made much of a war
sh 'wing-would break down in one
campaign. It is fact that the Russian
military and naval establishments are
held in but slight esteem abroad and
THAT the empire. owing to the failing
health of the rouble, is too hard put
financially to do much against even
)ne frst-class power. We expect that
he Russ rs would have d surprise
party wi the Japanese alone.

DR.. Borne, who made no difficulty
about rendering his efficacious pre-
scriptions public, said his principle was
that all the digestive, respiratory tubes,
etc, should be disinfected. He had ex-
perimented with all the antiseptics
ca Dable of combination, and had event
uaily arrived at the kinds and doses
given in the prescriptions. OF course
the doses were modified according to
the age, condition, etc, of the patient.
DR. Borne considers the replacing of
al pyrine by antifebrin to be impor-
ant, as antipyrine often affects the
kidneys.

two to show a polished surface, which Is etched with acid to bring out the variety of the structure. Certain meteorites thus treated show what are called Widmanstaet- tan fgures-a form of specialization of great beauty which is found in terrestrial iron, and then imperfectly, only in spec- mems from Disco Island, Greenland, where a mass of basalt has flowed up from the in- terior of the earth.
 Meteorites of course, are the only physi- cal evidences we have of the composition of other celestial bodies than our own. Their general scientific interest is that they probably represent the composition of the interior of our earth. Although the Green- land iron Is the only terrestrial iron resem- bling true meteoric iron, the crust of the earth contains rocks very similar to both the stone and the iron meteorites, with the exception that the meteoric iron is rep resented by some form of oxidzation of iron. The oxidization has taken place, of course, in the passage of these rocks up- ward through the earth's crust. Another analogy Is drawn from the connection be- tween iron and diamonds. In South Africa diamonds appear in a rock much like an iron meteorite, with the distinction of oxidi- zation and the first successful production of artificial diamonds was from the cooling of melted iron under pressure. Add 10 these facts one more-that the Cano Diablo meteorite has been found to contain mcro- scopic diamonds-and it will be seen how interesting a comparison of terrestrial and celestial mineralogy may become

"Yez, mann; and do yez have low neck dinners. mam?" Mrs. Cook inquired Low"neck dinners!' What do you mean by that?" said the lady. Well, mann, do yez eat yez dinner in low-neck dresses? hev a frind who says she'll not take no place unless the family eats in low necks an I thought l wouldn't either" So this is what we are all coming to! Not even our domestics will endure plain hving,' and if one wants SC cook she can't have her without promising to "eat in low necks.''

ENTHUSIASTIC CONVERTS
There are Thousands of Them who Be
 lieve as this Woman Does

Mrs. Ira Knowlton. of Butte, Mont, Is most enthusiastic convert to the virtues | of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets as a cure | for obstinate stomach trouble. She says: l T had poor digestion nearly all my life. | IL now seems to me that for years 1 never | knew what it was to be hungry, to have | a good, natural appetite.
 | l was troubled with gas in stomach, causing pressure on the heart win palpi-
 tation and short breath. Nearly every
 thing I ate soured on my stomach some times I had cramps in the stomach which almost resembled spasms.
 Doctors told me I had catarrh of the
 stomach but their medicines would not reach 1t and 1 would still be a sufferer
 had l not, in sheer desperation, decided to
 try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I knew they were an advertised remedy and 1 didn't believe anything I read about
 them, as l had no confidence in advertised remedies, but my sister living in Pittsburg wrote me last spring telling me how Stu arts Tablets had cured her and her little daughter of indigestion and loss of flesh and appetite and I hesitated no longer. I bought 50-cent box at my drug store
 and took two of the large tablets after each meal and found them delightful to take, being as pleasant to the taste as caramel candy Whenever during the day or night I felt any pain uneasiness in the stomach or about the heart took one of the small tablets and in three weeks it seemed to me if I had never known what stomach trouble was.
 I keep Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in the house and every member of our family uses them occasionally after a hearty meal or when any of us have pain or ache in the digestive organs"
 MT. E. H. Davis, of Hampton, Va, says: T doctored five years for dyspepsia, but in two months I got more benefit from Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets than in five years of the doctors treatment"
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest as well as the simplest and most conven- lent remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, biliousness, sour stom- ach, bloating after meals, sympathetic heart trouble
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is not cheap cathartic but active digestive remedy
 containing the pepsin and diastase which everyeweak stomach lacks and, they cure steansSh troubles because they digest the sesd eaten . i'd give the weak, abused over Workel stomach a chance to rest and re- @upera1G.
 lStuarss Dyspepsia Tablets are sold in fYery drug store in the United States, Canada and Great Britain.

pendent rates. It is a trust against com petition, which is designated as 'fcut rates. ' Freedom in trade is one of the essentials in American business, the theory being that the best man will Win.

 The drug business is one which has un- dergone a wide revolution. The drug store was once located in the physicians saddle bags whence he took his phials and e ln- pounded his own receipts. Then f-KeL oab- lished itself in the corners of dof eors of. fees, and the powders and liquiS4s zssze handled as so much gold dust In the eVo- lution the drug business has become one of the most extensive in the country. The drug store is no longer mere compound ing shop. II requires room equal to that of a first-class dry goods house to display it's wares, and it's medicine shelf is one or the smallest items which go to make up the whole. Necessarily such a business calls for enterprise, quick sales and short prohts exactly the same conditions which apply to every other business of a general char acter It is no more the apothecary shop, spoken of by our great-grandmothers, but wide and intricate business. Such a house as this could not be controlled by the conditions, cramped as they were, which have passed away.
 We have but to look at the drug houses of Atlanta to see what is here alluded to-. They require great capital to carry the inn mense stocks, the line of goods displayed makes variety show worth a railroad ride to look at, they are eXcellently managed, and not one of them could afford to go back to the contracted condition of years ago.

In the congressional Investigation
now under way. Col. Dick, secretary
of the republican committee, is con-
Quoting the investigation. With his
publican majority on the commit
tee. every sort of tactics is resorted
to in order to bulldoze the complain
ing witnesses and obscure the facts.
The facts have been amply estab-
lished. Gov. Steunenberg and Gen.
Merriam and their subordinates make
even more damaging admissions than
any charge by the citizens of the
state. Gov. Steunenberg testified be-
fore the committee that the military
was responsible for the institution of
the "permit. Remember that. The
United States military authorities un-
der the supervision of Mckinley want
the "permit" system saddled on this
country. When they talk prosperity
during the campaign. they will mean
prosperity for the trusts and the
permit" for the workmen.

gresham Lentz. of Ohio, is to be de-

might over right which has repeated
itself all down the centuries. The
Beers may be for q time overwhelmed
by numbers, as were the three hum
dred Spartans and the brave Leonidas
at ThermoPylae, but even as that bat
tie marked q new era in the history of
Greece and of the world. so shall the
contest in South Africa mark the be-
ginning of new nations. The Beers
are fighting for a principle with which
every liberty lover of the world is in
sympathy. The highest love is love
of liberty, love of truth. 1t is no
wonder the liberty-loving people of
America cry out against party gov
eminent if either shows a disposition
to be Indifferent towards those who
are struggling for liberty. truth and
justice. The Americans are not in
sympathy with England in her I'M
