Persons who suffer from indigestion can
not expect to live long, because they cannot
eat the tod required to nourish the body and
the products OF the undigested foods they do
eat poison the bio ID. 1t is important to cure
indigestion as soon as possible, and the best
method of doing this is to use the preparation
known SIS Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t digests

organs to perfect health. Pierce's Pharmacy.

Drunkenness Increasing.

A New York dispatch saws: "Accord-
ing to the annual report of the New York
state commission of prisons, drunkenr ess
throughout the state has increased to an
alarming extent. During the year ending
October last there were 80 $50 commit
ments to the peniteptiarIes, Ialls and work
houses OF the state for intoxication. More
than one-third OF all the commitments to
iails and work hous 50, and nearly one third
OF the commitments to the penitentiaries.
were for this off9nse. This makes no ac-
count OF many thousand other conviction,
for the same ofense punished by a fine,
which was paid before commitment Add
ing the probable number OF these to the
foregoing, gives the astonishing fact that
nearly, il not quite, one-half of the convic-
tions OF New York the past year were for
lntoxlcation Under the head of treat
ment OF drunkenness the report SAYS ::
Whether the punishment is by fine or i'm
prisonment, it usually falls more heavily
upon the family OF the offender than upon
the offender himself. The man of mean,
suffers no inconvenience. Ia the care of
the poor man, whether he pays his fine or
goes to prison, it IS his family that is nun-
ished rather than himself'n
Every word of the extract from the re-
port is true. The fool who gets drunk and
has to 60 TO Jail because too poor to pay a
fine does not have hard time. In fact he
has pretty good time. 10 the first place
he has the glorious pleasure of getting full,
and In the 'econd place he ha, a snug,
warm birth in some prison equipped with
all modern conveniences. 1t 10 his family
who must bear the disgrace; they must
earn or steal their bread and butter while
he is fat euing on government rations. If
bread and water and solitary confinement
went with each commitment, getting drunk
might not be quite so popular.

The Messenger ha, been giving St. AL
bans advertisers little sage advise. Most
of it is good and can be read with pr oft in
Below, Falls as we'll as elsewhere. The
Messenger says "When you advertise your
wares give prices and enumerate specially
attractive wares and bargains. Give
prices. Give prices. Don't content your
self with merely calling attention to your
store and stock in general way. "Fine
line of goods" doesn't amount to anything.
Make a list, however briei, of special bar
gains, and boom them. Take time to
write your advertisement. It's worth it.
The money you pay out tor advertising is
the best investment you make, If you ad-
vertise right. Plan to keep before the
public all the time some special feature,
some attractive bargain. Don't let the
public forget it. DON'T neglect your ad-
verti,ing. Pay the same attention to it
that you do to your buying. 1t will pay
you.

NERVE WASTE"

One Of the most helpful books on nerve
weakness ever issued is that entitled
"Nerve Waste" by DR.. Sawyer Of San
Francisco, now in its fifth thousand.
This work Of an experienced and reput-
able physician is in agreeable contrast
to tho vast sum of false teaching which
prevails on this interesting subject. 1t
abounds in carefully considered and
practical advice, and has the two great
merits Of wisdom and sincerity.
1t is indorsed both by the religious
and secular press. The Chicago Ad-
vance says: "a perusal Of the book and
the application Of it's principles will put
health. hope and heart into thousands
Of lives that are now suffering through
nervous impairment"
The book is s1.OO, by mail. postpaid.
One Of the most interesting chapters
chapter Xxx, on Nervines and Nerve
Tonics-has been printed separately as

pronounced the brightest Of the comedy
successes of this season, and brings with
it veritable epidemic of comedy, romp
song and surprises. 1t is everywhere a
welcomed visitor, and is said to contain
more dramatic good things than any,
thing ever attempted in this line of play
writing. The cast has the merit OF cap
ability and includes such clever people
as James L. McCabe, who assumes the
part of funny Dan Maloney, the victim
Of many humorous matrimonial compli-
cations, and Rose Bradbury, who plays
the part of the captivating Widow
Cheney. The plot and story is intensely
entertaining, the situations and climaxes
uproariously amusing. This will be the
first and last presentation Of this match
