off by we'll nourished body. 1t is
because death in such cases is at
tributed to the trivial malady and not
to the true cause-starvation-
there is no general appreciation OF a
common cause of disease and death
among elderly people-lack OF MI
triton.
VIGOROUS OLD AGE
depends upon the capacity to digest
and assimilate food. Strength in age
has the same foundation as strength
in youth-food properly digested
and assimilated There is no way
to make physical strength except
from food. And when the stomach
and its allied organs, because OF
weakness or disease, cannot con-
vert the food into nutrition, there is
a loss OF strength and vitality, which
weakens the body and leaves it prac-
tically powerless against the inroads
Of disease. II you want strength
YOU must get it from food, and YOU
can't get strength from food when
there is disease of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutri-
ton. The way to vi gorous age then
is to strengthen the stomach BY cur
ing the diseases which weaken it,
This is done by the use OF DR..

part of his frame. They might have bat

shin-is a negro's most tefIder part. The
man dropped on the ground with a yell Of
agony; he fell headlong in heap: ae s.rove
to rise. but his enemies were upon him. He
received without an attempt for the moment
to defend himself all the clubs upon his
head; he was recovering from the blow
upon his shins; he was ABOUT to make one
more effort, when one among them-was 1t
one of the constables2-but constable is
not armed with a sword-ran upon him with
that weapon and drove it through his ribs
from behind. The negro raised his arms !;

Then the fates at last interfered, the thread
was cut.

hadn't killed him, he would have killed us.
The constables gathered together; the
fight was over; at their feet, prone, lay the
body Of the man they had come out to take.
The honor of constable is concerned with
a successful capture. At the same time the
men Of the posse were perhaps pleased that
a man or so much courage and such vast
strength should have been forbidden to
make that last struggle and should have
escaped the gallows.
Then came running out Of the door none
other than Doll, his poor, faithful wife,
battered and beaten by her husbands bru-

and loving him to the end. With a shrek
she threw herself upon the dead body.
'"Tis his wife," said the women among
themselves. They were whispering now,
awe-struck In the presence of death. Look
at her. They call her Doll She married
him five or six years ago. You remember?
We laughed at her because she had gotten
a black man. He was a good husband to
her when he was at home, except for
black eye and a kick and turn of the
strap. What odds for a black eye, with
such husband as that?''
They carried the body into the house and
upstairs TO the room where he had slept.
Doll followed, with despair in her face.
Then the constables marched away in ST.

oner's inquest, which would be a thirsty
job; and the crowd dispersed-the women
still chattering and the men downcast and
reproachful. They ought. it was felt to

It AIDS DEMOCRATS
Senator Simmons Says Work
of Congress Does This.
His Interview Of Yesterday Not Intended TO Con.
vey Idea That Federal Judiciary Was
Party TO Conspiracy Exposed.

A reporter called upon Senator Sim
mons. who arrived in the city yaster-
day morning, and asked him if he would
not give the papers his views as to the
work Of the Congress which has just ad-
journCd, and suggested also that his in
terview. published yesterday, was very
interesting reading and the people would
like to know any additional facts he
might have with reference to the con
spiracy of the Republicans to capture. the
State exposed in hat publication.
Mr.. Simmons, speaking with reference
to the work of Congress, said there was
nothing which had not already been pub
lished to be said, except that III his judg-
ment the session mad been, il it's results,
very favorable to the Democratic party.
and he thought placed it in a position
of very great advantage in the approach
ing campaign.
On the great issues of trusts, tariff and
the foreign policy of the government he
said the discussions in the present Con
gress had injured greatly to the benefit
of the Democrats. OF course, the Senator
had nothing to say on his own work, but
he said that it was due tho delegation
from North Carolina in the House to say
that their work had been magnificent, and
that North Carolina had never had q
better delegation, taken as a whole.
Mr.. Simmons stated that he had moth
ing Of interest to add to his interview,
published yesterday; that the informa-
ton. upon which it was based was be-
lieved by him to be entirely reliable. He
saiA, however, that after reading the in
tervfew more carefully he thought prob
ably a misintcrpretation might be placed
upon the language used by him with ref
erence to the judiciary, and that he
wished to say that he did not intend tC
convey the idea that the Federal iudic-
larry was a party to the conspiracy, but
simply that the parties to this conspiracy
supposed that there would be &c difficulty
in securing a decision of tho court IA
| vorable to their contention in the case
in which they wished to invoke a decision
setting aside the amendment.
