THE EXTREME OF FOLLY.

The most foolhardy man who ever
risked his life, or the most infatuated
gambler who ever risked his fortune, is
a sage compared with the man who
attempts to get the best of Nature.
The foolhardy man may succeed. The
gambler NAV win. But the man who
takes chances With Nature Is bound to
lose If the obituaries of tens OF thou
sands who are cut down annually IN
lifes prime were truly written death
would not be attributed to this or that
form of disease, but to an attempt to
eyade the necessary laws of health.
The weak spot in the modern man is
his stomach. 1t is in disease OF the
stomach that many Of the lnaladies
begin which carry off the busy men OF
the day. The seed of disease once
planted in the stomach grows and
spreads like some climbing parasite
about a tree. 1t throws out a tendril
about the heart and presently another
which grips the lungs, and others again
which take hold of kidneys and liver.
Then suddenly the man is s!1litten by
heart disease or lung disease; or sue
cumbs to some malady of kidneys or
liver The real seat Of disease is the
stomach. And one of the reasons why
the diseases of the other organs often
fail of a cure is that the treatment
IGNORES the stomach, and attempts to
treat directly the other organs, whose
diseases are only symptoms OF disease
of the stomach and other organs OF
digestion and nutrition.
THERE'S PLENTY OF PROOF

of the soundness of the proposition that
diseases of other organs remote from
the stomach which are caused by dis
ease of the stomach must be cured
through the stomach, and, IN tact, can ca.
not be cured in any other way. Inc

DON'T DELAY.

Disease never leaps on a
man like a lion from am
bush and strikes him down
at a blow. However sud-
denly a man may be
stricken and howeve
deadly the disease, the
time was when it was a
little thing, easy of con-
troll. If you are suffering
from indigestion, dyspep-
sia, or any form of stom-
ach "trouble," don't put
off the proper treatment.

The navy department has selected
Rear Admiral Mortimer l.. johnson,
now in command at Port Royal naval
station, to succeed Admiral Sampson
in command of the Boston navy yard,
when the latter officer shall retire.
The formal appointment has not been
made, As II Is not known how soon
Admiral Sampson may wish tn he re-
lieved, or whether he will wait until
his retirement from the service next
February. However, II is usual when
the retirement Of an officer is ahead TO
look about for those available to sue
coed him, and this led the department
some weeks ago to determine upon Adj
miral johnson for the prospective ser
vice.
1t has been known for some time to
navy department officials that Admiral
Sampson Is not in robust health, and
that he might desire to lay aside his
duties at the yard before the time Of
his retirement from the service, as to
this, however. IL Is stated at the navy
department that there is no definite
information from Admiral Sampson.
He has not asked to be relieved, or in.
dicated when he would like TO be de-
tached.
1t Is stated that the action Of the
navy department has no connection
with the Schley court of inquiry. OF.
ficisls Of the department were unable
to say whether Admiral Sampson
would be summoned rs a witness, or
would appear otherwise before the
court, although IL was said TO Ike alto.
gether probable that he would be
among the witnesses.

Immense forest fires are raging In
several parts Of the great timber belt
lying west Of the Cascade mountains.
They are especially fierce between
Lake Sammamish and S%noqualmie riv-

stroyed. Another tremendous fire Is
raging between Woodinvillc and Grace

through this fire with flames leaping
about it on both sides. Many Of the

DR.. Elder Of Reynolds, Neb., reports
valuable find there. While some
children were playing In the dirt upon
the farm Of Joe Lamb, near Reynolds,
they unearthed a roll Of greenbacks
that measured about four inches
through. They were 80 badly decom.
pesed by their contact with the dirt
that they were falling to pieces, but by
the use Of q powerful glass one Of them
was found to be Of n thousand dollar
denomination. The roll was immedi-
ntely e to the treasury department
in Washington. There are a number
OF ~conjecturcs as to tho circum-
stances surrounding the rich de-
posit, but the most plausibly theory
seems TO be that it had some connec-
ton with the famous Hubbell wreck
that occurred some fifteen years ago.
II will he remembered that the wreck
was planned with the evident intention
Of robbery, and that q man by the
name Of Voorhees, was sent TO the pei =
itentiary for the crime. The theory is
advanced that he stole the money ut
the time Of the wreck and buried 1t
on Mr.. Lambs farm, which Is not fur
