system, which is founded on the
debt. 1t is to their interest to do
so. They are shrewd enough to
know which political party is the
most friendly with them, and they
contribute their money and intiu-
ence accordingly. They intend to
90 farther than they have ever

Headache.

There's many cause for headache.
Men are not often troubled by headaches.
When they are it is generally due to bill
iousness or indigestion. But women
have headaches which seem peculiar to
their sex, frequent nervous throbbing
headaches. Does it not seem as II such
headaches peculiar to women must be at
once related to womanly disease? Wom-
en- who suffer with diseases peculiar to
the sex do not realize the drain of vital
strength and nerve force they undergo
as a consequence of disease. 1t is this
which causes the familiar headaches of
sick women.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
cures such headaches by curing the
cause -irregularity, weakening. drains,
Inflammation, liberation or female weak
ness. oFavorite Prescription invigor-
ates and tones up the entire system, en-
courages the appetite, quiets the nerves
and gives refreshing sleep.

The idea that the government
Snail establish Il system of banks
founded upon bonds, pay interest
o. the bonds and exempt them
from taxation, and then let the
banks issue notes to the people
and charge the highest rate of in
trest they can eXt,rC is wrong.
T le idea that the whole financial
system shall rest uron the debt of
the country is not only erroneous
but unbusinesslke, and some3 day
the people will repudiate it.
There is no valid reason why
the national debt sho I'D not be
paid, We are at peace with the
world, our granaries are full, our
assets are abundant and it is Il
wrong policy that prompts us to
continue to pay interest on the
bonded Indebtedness of the coun-
try, when we have the means to
pay it off and stop the interest.
But the debt is not paid-nay, it
increases as the years 60 by. Our
bonded debt is $500, 900, 900
greater than it was in 1892, and
this increase has largely been
made in time of peace. 1t is the
purpose of the national bankers of
the country to perpetuate the debt

Among the many strange craft that
ply up and down the rivers around
New York one may frequently see one
that looks like back yard afioat. It
is a large platform. inclosed all the

are gates in the fence. and. to keep
up its resemblance to an ordinary in.
closure of suburban garden, there
are green leaves to be seen within.
These floating yards are used by
Wholesale fruit dealers. II Is found
that bananas. pineapples and other
tropical fruits spoil so easily In hot
weather that they must not be packed
closely, even for an hour. So they
are put on these floats in such way
that the air can reach them from all
sides. and the trips on the rivers are

Thanksgiving Sermon.

We do not know whether Rev.
kokendoffer of this city who
preached the Thanksgiving SER
mon last Thursday is Il Democrat
or Republican or whether ne is
either or whether he cares for par
tisan politics at all, but certainly
his remarks referring to Presi-
dent Roosevelt-the Presidents
stand against the trusts, his move
for arbitration in the settlement of
the coal strike and his position on
adjustment of the tariff schedule
in the interest of the working man
the preachers words were optimis-
tic, liberal and the utteranccs of
the patriot.
Mr.. Roosevelt is the President
of all the people, and when he
takes bold stand in favor of an
important issue, like the preacher,
we should all stand by him and
help hold up his hands with every
good word.
Bro. Kokendoffer also came
down to affairs in Missouri, and the
Doodle prosecutions in st. Louis
by the brave James w. Folk had
special endorsement. He also re-
ferred to municipal affairs in Mex
leo and had high commentator for
Mayor Il. Il. Jones in his stand
in favor of the strictest enforce
ment of the law, declaring that
the Mayor should not feel lone
some when he had God on his
side and the prayers Of all the good
people of our city.
The sermon was founded upon Il
phrase found in the 65th Psalm,
this paths drop fatness." The
discourse was prophetic of many
great things for our beloved coun-
try. God has.prospered. us and made
us mighty nation, and while we
should be thankful for all these
things yet there are menaces which
threaten our government. One of
them we have already quoted, the
trust evil. In reference to this
danger the speaker made.the fol.
lowing apt quotations:
"Ten mills make one trust.
Ten trusts make one combine.
Ten combines make one merger
And one merger makes all the
money"
We add that merger should bt
translated magnate-one mag
nate makes all the money, anC
that man is j. Pingpong Morgan
He is at the head of the money
trust, and the money trust is the
greatest of them all.
There were other thoughts il
the sermon, but we have men
toned sufficient.
We feel that the address awak
ened thought in all who heard it.

LOGIC OF THE SABBATH.
Writer In Ainslee's Pleads for One
Day of Rest.


AS a psychologist, believe in the
Sabbath day. One day in seven should
be kept holy from work and sacred to
mans primitive paradise of leisure. !
am no Puritan pietist or even Sab.
batharian in any severe sense, but
hold that this Is one Of the greatest Of
all human institutions and that the
command to keep 1t as day Of rest
is written in our physiological con-
situations. II need be, 1t may be kept
in sleep, mans great restorer. Mon
day our nerves and brain must be re-
freshed, and we must start q new
weekly rhythm on higher plane than
we closed tho old one. The mental
scenery must be changed. The brood,
er's overthought must have enlarged
our plans and given us both momen-
tum and direction. What form the
rest cure should take differs perhaps
tor each person. | go to church, but
my neighbor should perhaps spend the
day in the fields, with children, in
music. in books, but for all there
should be peace, tranquility, repose
surcease Of worry and relaxation. In
no land should the Sabbath be so hal
lowed as in this land Of hustle, ten
sion and Americanitis. &c. Stanley
Hall, in Ainslee's.
