THE SIGN OF STARVATION is weakness A starved man can't work. A starved organ can't work or at the best it works partially and ineffectively. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, by curing diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, enables the perfect digestion and assimi- 1ation of the food eaten, and this food converted into nutrition, builds up the body and all its parts and organs into sound health and strength.
 "After I had received the advice which you gave me in regard to my treatment" writes Geo. Dorner, Esq, of 1915 Pulaski Street, Baltimore, Md, rI used your Golden Medical Discovery according to directions. After using four bottles I considered myself cured as I have not felt any symptoms since. Had tried al- most all remedies that I heard of that were good for dyspepsia, but without re- lief.

 THE scHooL-BoY's POCKET
 is notorious for the miscellany it conJ tains. Tops, string, apples, marbles, chewing. gum, nails. jack-stones, are all mixed in one confused mass. What would be said of one who used that pocket which we call the stomach for teria1s2 This is done not alone by the human ostrich at the circus, but by thou sands of good people who do not consider the relation of the stomach to the other organs of the body. The purpose of eat ing is to provide nutrition for the body. But how many people think of the nutri9 tive value of the food they eat1 For the
 most part the choice of food is
 made to please the palate. The
 palate is a creature of education.
 II may DC taught 10 crave things
 bitter or things sweet; to desire
 spicy or fiery condiments which
 irritate the stomach or dainties
 which distress it, and in which
 the food value is reduced to the
 minimum. As rule the palate is / taught to desire the most unde-
 sirable things from the view point of nutrition. The result Is
 that the stomach has to thresh a VIZ great quantity of straw to obtain one grain of nutrition.
 The body Is sustained by food e properly digested and assimilated N and converted into nutrition. But R when the food lacks nutritive H value the body and its organs >pf must be starved. Exactly the S same thing happens when the s--- food eaten is nutritious, but the - stomach and other organs of di-
 gestion and nutrition being weak
 ened by disease, fail to extract
 the nutrition from the food pro- vided. Then the body is starved also.

the Chicago Board of Arbitration asks US
to submit our cause TO them, we will reply
to that effect"
The strikers are basing their hopes OF
success on the sympathetic strike of the
teamsters. 1t is generally conceded that
the freight handlers have but a small
chance to win unless they have the support
OF the Teamsters' Union. If they secure
this and the members of that organization
walk out there is every probability of seri
Gus trouble before the matter is settled.
The officers of the Teamsters Union pro-
fess TO be opposed to any strike, but they
say the desire to strike is strong among
the teamsters. The officers are fearful
that they will not be able to hold the men
in line. II was thought, last night. that
the worst feature of the strike was over,
but the meetings of the freight handlers to-
day developed an almost unanimous de-
sire TO continue the fight, with or without
the aid of other organizations. These meet
ings were held in various parts of the city,
and while they were in progress large
crowds of the strikers gathered round their
headquarters.
When il had been determined that they
would continue the fight President Curran,
OF the freight handlers. accompanied by
Organizer John J. Fitzpatrick. Of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor, went TO meet
the members OF the Chicago Board of Arbi-
tration. Secretary Driscoll, of the Team
Owners Association. in whose offices the
meeting took place. stated TO Mr.. Curran
that he had called in some of the members
of the arbitration committee 10 meet him
in the hope of settling the strike.
Mr.. CuIran appealed to the members of
the Board of Arbitration to use their best
endeavors to settle the strike. Mr.. Self
ridge, of the committee. asked him If the
members OF the executive council OF the
freight handlers would sign an agreement
/ 10 abide by the decision OF the arbitration
committee. Mr.. Curran said he would not
do this until he had conferred with the
members of the committee. The meeting
then adjourned until o'clock pending the
consultation between Mr.. Curran and his
advisers.
At the appointed time President Curran
and all the members OF the executive coun-
ell of the freight handlers were at the
office Of the Team Owners Association. He
found awaiting him there seven members
Of the association and an equal number of
members of the Chicago Board of Arbitra-
ton. President Curran announced the will
ingness OF the freight handlers 10 sign an
agreement 10 accept whatever recomrnen-
dation the arbitration committee might
submit to them. The document was sub

mitted and signed. The meeting then ad-
journed to allow the members of the Board
of Arbitration 10 consult with the general
managers of the railroads and ascertain
whether or not they will arbitrate.
The determination of the business men
Of Chicago TO endeavor TO secure a settle
ment of the strike was taken to-day, when
Ii was certain that the freight handlers
would not agree TO the terms OF the roads,
submitted the night before. and when
symptoms OF unrest appeared among the
members of the teamsters union Nearly
1000 of the latter refused TO go on with
their work when they heard that the
freight handlers had decided 10 continue
the fight. a refusal of these men 10 carry
out their contracts made but few weeks
ago at the termination Of their strike,
would mean heavy loss to the business in
terests of the city. and IL was determined
TO at once enlist the services of the Chi
cago Board of Arbitration, an organization
which has among its members some of the
most prominent business men in Chicago.
Those who took hand in the work OF try
ing 10 secure a settlement to-day were II.

LATEST NEWS OF TRACY
SENT A FARMER TO TACOMA TO
BUY REvoLvERs FOR HIM.
Said He Would Kill Family IL He
Were Betrayed - Took Away
Enough Food for q Week.

KENT. Wash, July l0-Harry Tracy. the
Oregon convict, was at the home of f. NJ.
johnson. two miles southeast of this place,
on Wednesday night. When he left the
house he was armed with a new revolver
and his rife and had a plentiful supply of
both ammunition and provisions. Tracy
sent Johnson to Tacoma TO purchase the re-
volver and ammunition. He threatened TO
exterminate Johnson's family on the least
sign of treachery. The convict seemed
tagged out and talked very little about
himself or his plans. While at the house
he spent nearly all the time watching for
his pursuers. He left the house after dark,
taking Johnson's horse, headed either for
Seattle or the Palmer cutoff. Not only did
Tracy force Johnson to buy the revolver,
but he made him borrow the necessary
money in Kent. Johnson went to Tacoma
and secured the weapon without sounding
any kind of warning 10 the authorities. He
was badly frightened.
Tracy arrived ar the home Of Johnson at
o'clock on Wednesday morning, and at
the muzzle of a revolver forced Johnson TO
cook him breakfast. After finishing the
meal he told Johnson to go to Tacoma and
purchase two .45-caliber Colt revolvers and
100 rounds of cartridges, with the threat
that If he gave information to the authori-
ties at that place he would murder the en-
tire family. Johnson left Kent on the
o clock train, returning at o'clock. While
he was absent from Kent Tracy remained
in the vicinity of the home and appeared 10
be uneasy Several times he went TO the
top of a small hill in the rear of the John
son house and viewed the surrounding
country. Upon the return of Johnson from
Tacoma Tracy ordered Mrs johnson to
cook him enough provisions to last a week.
She boiled two dozen eggs, fried bacon and
gave him large supply of sugar and -four.
Tracy compelled the members OF the family
to remain on the premises until the return
of Johnson from Tacoma.

CHICAGO. July 10.-Business men of the
city took an active part i'm attempting 10
settle the strike of the freight handlers to-
day, and at midnight, although nothing had
been definitely settled. some little progress
had been made. An agreement was secured
from the freight handlers union that the

organization could arrange meetings with
the general managers of the railroads and
secure their consent also TO arbitration. At
midnight the request for arbitration had
not been submitted TO the railroads, and il
is not likely that such action will be taken
before tomorrow morning.
There is grave doubt that the proposition

SAFE FROM NEGROES NOW.


MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 10.-After a
bitter factonal fight the Democracy of
Alabama, as represented in the Democratic
executive committee Of the State. this after
noon cast aside the ancient custom of nom
mating state officers by convention and de-
termined TO substitute a Democratic pri-
mary election. The exact character OF tho
primary has not yet been decided upon. The
South Carolina plan is likely 10 be adopted
and will probably be reported tomorrow.
The overthrow of the convention custom
is a direct result of the operation Of ths

having eliminated the negro vote. the Dem
ocrats feel there is no longer any necessity
for piling up tremendous majorities in the
negro counties and permitting those coun-
ties 10 send TO Montgomery delegations out
OF all proportion TO their white population.
For this reason they adopted the primary
idea as means of holding the vote OF the
counties down TO their white-voting
