NO MAN is STRONGER
THAN HIS STOMACH.

The stomach is the vital center of the
body. 1t is the organ from which all
other organs are fed. A weak stomach
means a weak man. There never was
strong man with a weak stomach. What
is called vweak stomach " is in general a
diseased condition of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition,
which prevents the proper digestion of
the food which is taken into the stom-
ach, and so reduces the nutrition of the
body. When all food is taken away the
body starves. When the food eaten is
only digested and assimilated in part it
only nourishes the body in part, and SO
the body is partly starved. And this
starvation is felt in every organ of the
body dependent ON the blood which is
made from food.
The great variety of the cures per
formed by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is due to its remarkable
power to heal diseases of the stomach
and allied organs 1t cures through the
stomach diseases seemingly remote, but
which have their origin in a diseased
condition of the stomach and the other
organs of digestion and nutrition.
0Weak" heart, lungs, kidneys and weak
ness of other organs is cured with the
cure of the weak stomach.
Mr. Thomas A. Swarts, Box 1o3 Sub-Station
c. Columbus Ohio writes & l was taken very
sick with severe headache then cramps in the

by the aid of a chair, and got 50 thin l had

Inuian Appropriation Blll-BurleSon
Speaks on Trusts.
Washington, Feb. 18.-The house to-
day went into committee of the whole
and took up consideration of the In
dian appropriation bill. 1t was agreed
that general debate should continue
today and tomorrow, after which the
bill should be open to amendment un-
der the 5 minute rule. Mr.. Sherman,
OF New York, who was in charge of
the bill, announced that in view of
the fact that many members of gen
eral debate desired to speak on mat
ters not germane to the bill, he would
reserve his opening address.
Mr.. Burleson, of Texas, then made a
speech on the subject of trusts. He
spoke of the strenuous one" who had
succeeded to the presidency last fall,
and contrasted his Minneapolis speech
last summer with the utterances in his
message on the trust question
Before his accession to the presiden-
cy he had spoken of the trust bar
ons" and "mQnopolists," afterwards of
captains Of industry" which, he de-
clared, indicated that the president
was controlled by the forces in the
Republican party which had in the
past respected trusts.
What is the Democratic governor
of Montana doing tc prevent the big
railroad merger in the northwest?"
asked Mr.. Tawney, of Minnesota.
If he is not in line with the gov.
ernor of your state" responded Mr.
Burleson, then l repudiate him"
He is not" retorted Mr.. Tawney
and he repudiates you"
Mr. Hill, of Connecticut followed
with an hours speech in support of
his bill to make silver dollars re-
deemable in gold
Senate.
At the conclusion of routine busi.
ness today it was agreed that the final
vote should be taken on the Philippine
tariff bill and amendments thereto
Monday at o'clock. During the last
day the debate to be limited to Is min
utes to each senator, no debate to be
had after the voting begins.
Mr. Wellington, of Maryland, then
addressed the senate upon the Philip.
pine question. He said he had been
Republican, prOtectionist and a be.
lever in the gold standard of curren-
cy. However, he said, the Spanish
war brought the parting of the ways
He was opposed TO that war and be.
lieved that Cuban independence could
have been brought about by diplomatic
negotiations. Then came the "impe-
rialistic tendency of the Republican
party, and with them he could not
agree.
Without the Spanish war" he said
Cuba might have been free, might.
have enjoyed, indeed larger meas.
ure of freedom and independence than
she was enjoying now or would enjoy
in the future. The only thing Cuba
had been taught was how a postal of.
fetal could embezzle a half million
dollars"

NARROW
ESCAPE FROM FIRE
Kellogg Sanitarium of Battle

MAIN BUILDING is DESTROYED

One Woman and a Girl Have Broken
Limbs BY Jumping from Third Story
Windows-Loss on the Property viii
Amount to 100000.
Battle Greek, Mich, Feb. 18.-sThe
great Kellogg sanitarium was entire
ly destroyed by fire early today. The
main building is entirely gone and the
hospital is now afire.
Four hundred patients were taken
out safely. But two accidents occur
red during the removal of the patients
One woman and a girl, names un-
known became frightened and jumped
from third story windows. Both have
broken legs. The origin of the fire is
unknown.
The main building, which has been
destroyed was 1872 by 100 feet and six
stories high.
AS soan as the fire waa discovered
watchmen ran through the corridors
arousing the sleeping patients on each
of the six floors
Many of them were unable to help
themselves and were carried to places
of safety by the nurses. The corri-
doris filled with smoke very rapidly
and about half the inmates of the
building were forced to come down the
fire escapes. The sanitarium stood on
a hill and the water pressure was low,
therefore the water supply was insult
ficient.
Both the main building and the hos
pital are now in ruins 1t is almost
miraculous that none Of the inmates
lost their lives The loss will pc about
100000, according to the latest esti
mates.
