Quick lunch" is one of the common
est of city signs. The sign doesn't say
"a healthy lunch Of good foOd''-the
character of the food apparently is not
considered. It's just a quick lunch
eat and get away. Is it any wonder that
the stomach breaks down? Food is
thrown at it, sloppy, indigestible and
lnnutritiOus food, very often, and the
stomach has to do the best it can. Nor
mally there should lie no need for med
ical assistance for the stomach. But the
average method of life is abnormal and
while this continues there will always
be demand for DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. -C is the one medi-
cine which can be relied on to cure dis
eases of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition. 1t is not a
cure-all. 1t is a medicine designed for
the stomach, and to cure through the
stomach remote diseases which have
their cause in the arrangement of the
stomach and digestive and nutritive
system. 1t cures when all else fails.

WOMAN AND MARRIAGE.

The papers are telling of a woman
who married a man to reform him
She may succeed, but the chances are
one hundred to one against
Such marriages occur every day, and
almost invariably the seIf-sacrificing
woman soon realizes that she over
estimated her power over an unworthy
subject. And yet women will continue
to marry men with the hope of reform
ing them.
This is not because of any abnormal
weakness on the part of woman. 1t
rather emphasizes the old saying that
love is blind. 1t is usually so blind that
the most glaring faults almost become
virtues. When woman's eyes become
blinded by the glamor of love, forgive
ness for sins, even without penitence,
seems a duty.
The girl who really loves man, feels
that she wields a wonderful influence
over him. No matter how worthless
he may be, she can find good in him
where no other can see it. He may be
a liar, a thief and a poltroon, yet she
believes in him because of her love.
Sometimes, when all her senses give
the lie to her heart, and she knows
him to be unworthy, she forces herself
to believe III him, and to see virtues
that do not exist.
Who can satisfactorily explain this.
Who car fathom the recesSes OF a wo-
mans heart? The innate goodness
and sweetness of some women make
them easy prey, and in return fer theil
sincere desire to reform the objr. oi
their love they receive heart-aches
troubles. and misery. True, she loves
him with love that seems sufficiently
strong TO force the blackest crimina
to reform. She is so sure of her power
for good over him that she casts com
mon senke to the wind, and takes steI
that MAY be regretted ever after.
Afteh her self-sacrificing efforts havt
proven b dismal failure, the woman
realizes her mistake, and finds that tn,
game tas not worth the candle" tt
use sldng phrase. All her theories fol
reforming the man have come t.

THE CONSTITUTION ASSIGNS.

The Weekly Constitution, published
at Monticello, is in hard luck. The
editor has been forced to make an as
sighment to satisfy his creditors. In
a lengthy editorial summing up the
Gauges necessitating the step, Brother
Smith says:
'''This opposition came from parties
whose main hope of keeping their own
heads up depended on their pulling
dow n the heads of Others Their I'M
frietdly criticisms consisted of state
merits and publications that we're
wholly untrue, and without the slight
est | foundation; in fact, statements
that were conceived in malice, made in
jeal busy, and circulated with a desire
andsho to injure."
VIE know nothing about the unfOr-
tundte circumstances that forced Mr..
Smith to make an assignment, but the
aboTe excerpt contains a whole ser
mOIb on the power of SANDERS tongue.
HI IRE is a legitimate establishment
doing large business, giving employ
ment to many people, publishing pa
per that reached more than 10000
homts, forced % the wall by the circu-
latidh of statements that were con
ceivtd in malice, made in jealousy
and circulated with desire to injure. -
Wh9t sad commentary on mankind,
and slOw true the words of Burns that
''mass inhumanity to- man makes
cou1Sless thousands mourn
TIxs case is only one of thousands
whe3 SANDERS tongue has blighted
the hopes of those who have worked
hards to reach the goal of success.
1he1E are tears in the life story of
scordS of deserving men and women,
brou ssht there by the power of SLAM
der'A VenOmOuS tongue. There may
not Ke word of truth in the reports,
not in atom of ground for their foun-
datidh. But the scandal mongers don't
care for this. They have discovered a
rare smOrsel, and with the blOod-suck-
ing &nstincts of a vampire, roll it in
theirsmouths with gusto that would
be an fusing were not some ones goOu
namd at stake.
SeI nor age make no difference to
these: human fierds. The least indis-
cretidn on the part of man or woman
is seiS iSed with avidity. Mole hills are
magnafed into mountains, and we can
hear che scandal-mongers laugh in
gnOuGsh glee, as they mercileSsly rend
into @lreds the reputation of their un-
Lortuliate victims. To make bad mat
ters worse, there is no way of stopping
the wpgging tongues. There never is
in SUCH cases. The law is IOWerless.
That IS what makes such attacks all
the MORE cowardly. !
The: slander is started. It may be
small at first But it is rolled about
from mouth to mouth, gaining in
strength until, like the avail anche, it
sweeps with irresistible force all before
it into a bottomless abyss of despair.
Even the shadow of death will not stop
SANDERS onward march. 1t seems to
be inherent with some people to tear
down the reputation of others. They
can't help it. 1t is the way of their
world, yet we can not help reparking
that it is a mean, brutal, eowardly
way.

Don't make the experiment, girls, no

If he really loves you, you can easily

the man you marry, yet remember that
the man who can not show a fairly

a husbands honors. If you wish to re-
form him, see that the work is com

After you are thoroughly satisfied
that he has renounced all his objec-

time enough to be led to the altar Il
he does not reform, tear his image from
