have had-Wine Of Cardui will bring you
relief. This pure Wine has relieved the
most obstinate cases of menstrual disorder.
These troubles, which are simply irregu-
larities at first, quickly involve every organ
function of the ~body-the nerves, the
digestion, the blood circulation and respi-
ration. ANY sort of disease may develop
IN a body that is run down and wrecked in
health in all quarters. A disease that has
run for ten years Is generally regarded as
chronic. Wine of Cardui could have re-
lieyed Mrs. Blau years ago but the Wine
relieves so many thousand cases of irregu-
larities in their early stages that this case
would hardly have been noticed. This case
10 referred TO today to show all hopeless
discouraged sufferers what a reliable, eff
fective medicine Wine of Cardui is. No
woman has ever, TO our knowledge, taken
this medicine and not been benefited by it.
To cure Mrs. Blau who had suffered ten
years, was an achievement. If you need
the relief Wine of Cardui brought to Mrs.
blau, 60 TO your druggist and buy a dollar
bottle of Vino Of Cardui. If you wish
advice write to The Ladies Advisory De-
partment, The Chattanooga Medicine Co.,
Chattanooga, Tenn. Describe your symp-
toms as correctly as you can and a letter of
advice will be sent you. The treatment is
taken in the privacy of the home and this
is one of the features that commend it to
suffering women. Two or three doses a
day In your room-there is no private ex-
animation. Relief begins Immediately.

Story Of II French Cat.

This cat story comes from Pont Ste.
MaXence (Oisc), and for such 4 small
place it is an extremely tall tale, says
the Paris Messenger. 1t would appear
that a resident in the place, who is an
enthusiastic angler. used to keep live
bait in a small tank on his premises
me angler also had cat who natll-
rally was fond of fish, raw or cooked.
This being so. his owner covered his
tank with wire netting to keep pussy
out of temptation.
But the cat knew trick or two and
went to the nearest refuse heap for
some fowl gibletS which were provl-
dentially lying there. These she took
to the tank, let them hang into the wa
ter from the netting and began fishing
ON her own account When the fish
Nbbled at the bait. puss would catch it
with nimble claw. The angler, no.
ticinG the trick. threw the bait away,
but half an hour later puss was mt it
a.ain,
We hardly know which to admire
most, the eats ingenuity II that of the
concocter Of the story.

Evils of Excessive Smoking.

While a good cigar, used temperate
ly two or three times 4 day, may be
smoked by the average adult man to
good advantage, excessive indulgence
in smoking is very harmful. 1t is only
necessary to recall ones first cigar and
the profound effect it produced to real
ize that the smoking Of tobacco in large
quantities is trifling with a dangerous
agent says the Baltimore Sun.
The chief effects of smoking are from
the nicotine and empyreumatic oil, the
first being an active poisOr-an infin-
itesmal quantity will destroy life-and
the latter, which is the rank accumu-
lation in the stem of the pipe, is also
a potent poison, one drop on the tongue
Of a cat having been fatal. The nico-
tine and the oil both act on the nervous
system, though differently, the nicotine
paralyzing the heart by its action on
the brain, while the oil confines itself
chiefly to the spinal cord and the motor
nerves.
1t will thus be seen that no part of
the victims equipment escapes the
deadly effect of tobacco in excess.

,-St Pupils.

4 ysung woman teacher IN one Of
the grammar schools in Brooklyn was
speaking of her work the other day.
She said that unless person had some
experience III teaching he could scarce
ly understand how marvelously stupid
some children were and what peculiar
mistakes ordinarily bright children
sometimes make. TO illustrate her
point she told three stories from her
own personal experiences. One day,
on q language examination, the follow
ing was one of the topics: Name three
kinds of sentences and give examples" !"
This is the way one of the children met
the problem. He wrote: 'Declarative,
interrogative, imperative. 2+2=4.
9X2-1S. 13-G=1.'
On another day one of the questions
in grammar examination read: "I
cannot see it - Complete this SEN
tence by using the words plain or plain
ly. Give your reason
One bright youth wrote this answer:
81 cannot see it plain Reason: Be
cause it is too far away"

RailroadinS Terms.

Railroading terms in England and
America differ very widely. The Eng
lish would speak Of shunting a train.
We call it switching. Freight trains
they call goods trains, coaches are car
riages, conductors are guards, engi
neers are drivers, trucks are boggles
and freight cars are wagons. The
British always say station instead of
depot, and in that they have the bet
ter of us. Rails they call metals and
tracks permanent ways. They do not
get their tickets at ticket office, but
at a booking office, and the s1nokestack
of the locomotive is to them the chin
ney. A railroad man going from one
country to the other finds that he has
to learn an entirely new set Of il'"s"S

EFFECTS OF VIBRATION.
Wounds Have Keen Healed by Sound
Waves OF Il NiOii1I.


A man was conveyed to q hospital
In Paris suffering from an accident
which resulted in q serious wound.
This wound refused to heal, and al!
the various treatments applied to it
failed to effect the desired end. This
man was attacked from time to time
by violent paroXysms, and death ap-
peared certain. At length the surgeon
enlisted the services of good violin
player and treated the sufferer to Il
musical remedy. The patients parox-
ysms ceased, and from that time the
wound began to heal. The violin play
ing was continued at intervals till re-
covery was assured.
In another case the wound continued
to suppurate despite all that could be
done. The patient was calm and re-
signed but nothing could be done for
the wound. The violin was called into
requisition in this instance also, and
the instrument was played close to the
injured part, which was barred for the
purpose. The surgeon soon observed
a change. The wound assumed 4
iASdilIiSl dplG'ti NICS, anu tllt lONtSS
of healing began and progressed rap
idly.
1t is an undoubted fact that certain
vibrations can effect cures, but the vi
brations must be strictly in accord
ance With the malady or nature of the
wound. Some enthusiasts go so far as
to assert that the chara cter Of individ-
uals can be changed by the constant
application Of the proper vibration.--

hailed with delight by people of all
parties. 1t will not only bring relief
against the oppressive prices OF the
trust but it will demonstrate that there
are existing laws sufficient to control
such monopolies and that the present
administration will enforce such laws
whenever necessary.
The beef monopolists have gone on
seemingly secure in their plans with.
out fear as to the results but they VIII
have rude awakening when they real
ize that President Roosevelt's admins
tration cannot be made subserylent to
their designs.
1t is understood that the President
has taken great interest in the prose
cutions and that all his energies and
all the power of the government vii
be exercised to break down the unholy
combination that was organized te
plunder the public at the retail butch
er's markets. The beef trust will be
dissolved because its operations are
in direct violation of the laws OF the
country and against public policy. l

punishment will be so rigorous as tt
prevent any attempts in the future tt

PRovIDENTlAL AND OTHER IN
PREFERENCES.

The beef trust that raised the price
OF beef in the local markets to a price
beyond that which the laboring man
could pay, and other combina.
TONS seemed to have every
thing their own way for a
while They claimed that the insuffi-
cient supply of corn and the poor pros
pect for grass had increased the price
of beef on the hoof and that the indi-
cations were for still higher prices. For
a time rain seemed to be withheld and
the pastures were becoming dreary;
there was also a prospect that there
would not be enough rain for the grow
ing wheat crop and the -four trust
erected its bristles; but the Lord Him
self took hand; he sent the rains in
abundance and drowned out the claims
of the combinations. President Roose-
welt acted slightly in advance of Prov
idence and before the rains manifested
their power. He determined to prose
cute the beef trusts at Chicago and
sent his trusted agents to that great
mart Of trade and began proceedings
There is a flutter now in the beef com
bine The prices of beef in the loca
markets are going down and between
the rains that kind Providence has
youchsafed and the active interference
of the federal authorities, there still
remain chances for the people despite
the trusts and the combines.

AN ANTlsPlTTlNe ORDINANCE.

New York City, st. Louis and other
large cities have wisely adopted ordi-
nances making it a misdemeanor, pun
ishable by heavy fine, for expectorat-
ing in street cars, on the sidewalks, in
public halls and other public places.
1t is a sorry reflection upon the
American people that such ordinances
are necessary. But facts are fats
and if there is city in Iowa that
needs such an ordinance, it is Ottum,
wa. It should be passed at the earliest
possible moment by the city council
and then be vigorously enforced, es
pecially with reference to the crowd
of loafers who expectorate filthy tobac
co juice upon the sidewalks, particu
larry at the corner of Market and Main
streets in this city. Let US have ar
anti-expectorating ordinance and then
enforce 1t.

The republicans of Indiana in the
strong and wise resolutions they
adopted at their recent convention
have no doubt set the pace and indi-
Gated the policy that will be pursued
by the party in the congressional
elections of 1902 The resolutions
adopted endorse the administration of
President Roosevelt; favor just and
liberal reciprocal relations between
the United States and Cuba and de
clare in favor Of absolute peace in the
Philippines and the erection of civil
government therein. The declara
lions against illegal trusts and combin
atoms is as emphatic as the resolution
in favor of the general principles OF
protection and the expression of faith
in the gold standard"
The platform of the Indiana repub
licans is all that could be desired; il
is moderate in expression and yet de
cisive in it's declarations as to the
policy that should be pursued.
1t will require no gift of prophecy tt
say that the platforms Of the repub
lican party in each of the states will
not differ essentially with what has
been declared by Indiana republicans

An ALL AROUND PRESIDENT.

No man has ever been elected Pres
ident of the United States, who was
born west of the Mississippi river and
few of those presidents who were born
elsewhere have had much to do per-
sonally with the western or Pacific
states. Some Of them were never west
of the river and only knew of the vast
region by means of geographical rela-
lions or through the medium of the
public journals. 1t is true that Ohio
has furnished Presidents, as well as
Indiana and Illinois. Abraham Lincoln
was true representative Of the west
as it existed during his day. Harrison
and Mckinley were of the middle west
and their sympathies were with the
great country beyond the river. But
none of these were ever dwellers in
the west, nor was it possible for them
to have caught the inspiration of west
ern enterprise without actual contact
with the men who made up the coun
try.

and failure to adhere to this schedule
which is set weekly, is punishable by

THE VANCE CASE.
29.

1t is not necessary for the Courier
or any one else to preach an extended
sermon On the Vance case. The NOR
al of the story has already impressed
itself on the community. 1t is but an.
other exemplification of the eternal
fact that the sorrow of sin is the real
abiding sorrow in the world, compared
with which the bereavement of death
is as nothing.
There are those who will scott at
all religion because the person who
has been adjudged guilty in this case,
was a member of the church, the Y.
M. G. A. and the Christian Endcavor
Society. Yet the most irreverent scoffer
will admit that had the person refer
red to been true to the principles
taught by the church, the Y. M. G. A.
and the Christian Endeavor, he would
not be surrounded by the disgrace and
ruin which have overtaken him. 1t is
not Christianity, but the individual
that is at fault. Mere profession OF
faith in creeds, doctrines and systems
of religion do not make men good. II
is what men really are in their inner
most hearts, thoughts and actions that
tells whether or not they are truly re
Iligious. The personal equation can
not be eliminated. True religion is
demonstrated by moral conditions
probity, character, the upright life.
The offense of which the defendant
in this case has been convicted is {
revolting one; peculiarly SO, because i
included the attempted debasement O
youth and innocence. To the parents
who insisted that the case should b.
brought to trial and the charges probet
to the bottom, much credit is due
They have performed disagreeabl
duty that has been no easy task. Blu
the result will prove an effectual re
straint upon evil doors in the future.
