Better Than PiIIs.

The question has been asked, "In what way are hamberlains Stomach and Liver Tablets superior to pills ?" Our answer is: They are easier and more pleasant to take, more mIld and gentle in effect and more reliable as they can always be depended upon. Then they cleanse and invigorate the stomach and leave the bowels in a natural condition, while pills are more harsh in effect and their use is often followed by constipation.

The forming of new political parties goes merrily on. A new party was formed at Louisville, Ky, last Thurs day under the name of the. Allied Peoples Party. The convention call was issued ''to unite reform forces against plutocracy." While representa- lives of the Peoples party, the fusion Populists. Socialists, the Referendum League, the Union Labor party, Public Ownership party, Probitionists and the United Christian party were at the con- vention it is not certain that but two of the parties-People's and Public Own- ership-will sink their identity in the new organization. Whom they have in mind for President of the United States is not surmised. We do not imagine that the convention will have any effect upon the hot campaign promised between the Republicans and the Democrats in this state next fall.

By q curious natural law Of compen-
sation various diseases tend to prolong
life and improve the general health.
Gouty and rheumatic persons, 1t is
said. have especial cause to be thank
full. Perhaps this knowledge will help
them to be more cheerful than they
usually are at seasons of ~festivity.
Govt and rheumatism are exceeding
~ painful diseases, and, of course, in
some cases prove fatal, but they confer
many a blessing upon mankind; and
rheumatism particularly is well known
to doctors as a preventive Of many
other diseases. It is a notorious fact
that equity subjects generally live to a
ripe age, and albeit they suffer very
severely at times, they generally enjoy
excellent general health, the very causes
of the govt keeping their blood in good
condition and making it uncomfortable
to many kinds of microbes.
Take half a dozen persons over the
age Of seventy who suffer. from rheu-
matism or govt, and half a dozen 9TH
ers who suffer from neither, and you
will find that, except for their rheuma-
tism or govt. they enjoy very much
better health than the non-sufferers,
and stand a splendid chance of outliv-
ing the latter. Moreover, govt and
rheumatism greatly enhance a suffer-
er's chances of retaining his mental
faculties until the end. A large per-
icentage of centenarians who die with

Fortunes in Rice
VAST POSSIBLE WEALTH WAS ZEE IN A
MATRIMONIAL CUSTOM rs

'..If q fellow throws an old shoe
lhlled with rice after you when you
get married this winter, young man,
go pick up every grain Of It," said a
rice enthusiast, 'for there is a fortune
in 1t. I was just thinking to-day about
the vast amount Of wealth that has
been wasted in this way, and it is
simply alarming when you come to
think of 1t. I went to the convention
of Rice men at Crowley recently, and
I learned q few things about rice that
I never knew before. Why, the pos
sibilities of a grain OF rice will actual
" make q fellows head swim.
Here is a grain which I have been
carrying in my pocket since the con-
vention, purely for illustrative pur-
poses. / was reading In the Plaque
mirae Protector that one grain of
rice would bring in the first year sixty
lunches of rice, and that each bunch
contained $50 grains, which would
give a total yield Of $4,000 grains for
the first year. Now, this is no small
thing, when you come to think of 1t.
Suppose we plant the $4,000 grains
the second year, on the same basis we
would have q yield Of 2g5, 900, 900
grains, which is $4,000 times $4,000.
Now the yield during the third year
would amount to $4,000 times 225,-
100000, on the same basis OF compu-
tation, which would be a.376, 000. 900
grains Of rice. Now I was reading

all their wits about them, and with ex-
cellent memories of the days Of their
youth, have suffered for many years
from rheumatism, and been particular
ly free from other diseases.
The loss of a leg or an arm is also
said to do you good in the long run. It
certainly seems that when a man Is
deprived of a leg OF an arm, the vital
!ty and vigor Of the lost member re-
main with him to increase the vitality
Of the remainder.
Numbers of elderly persons in more
or less feeble health are kept alive by
coughs, such, for instance, as bron-
chitis. Chronic coughs are peculiarly
common to old people, and hundreds
who complain of the distress caused
them by such affections are really in
debted to their coughs for their length
of life. The reason Of this is that
most elderly persons suffer with weak
hearts and feeble circulation of the
blood, and weak hearts become weaker
and weaker merely as a result OF their
weakness. A constant cough corrects
this, keeps the heart beating more
strongly than 1t otherwise would, and
the strong heart beat keeps the blood
circulating more quickly, and the vital
organ are thus kept in a state OF
activity which could only be main
tanned by artificial mean and for a
limited time but for the troublesome
cough.

section that there are probably 10000
grains of rice to the pound, but this is
an approximation. Adopting 1t as
correct, at the end of the third year
n grain OF rice will produce 337, $780,
900 pounds Of rice, and the rice mathe-
matician, allowing 1852 pounds for q
barrel OF rice, figures that this will.
amount to 2,OS3 1893 barrels. /
$50 you can see that I am actually.
carrying a fortune around here in my
vest pocket, and there is plenty Of
room left, too, for such other things
as I may want to put into my pocket
In these figures I have made no allow
ance for those things which sometimes
happen to any kind Of seed that may
be sown, but there is a good lesson in
the calculation at that. When we
come to think about the number Of
grains Of rice that have been wasted.
in the happy practice OF tossing an
old shoe after the new1y-marTied
couple, we are almost shocked at the.
extravaganza Of the world. The rice
thrown away in this way, since the
custom was first launched, would.
have saved the lives Of all the people
who have ever starved to death since
the world began, II it had been allowed
to reach its full multiplying possi-
bilities. So I say, young man, when

There are to-day over three million
wage-earning women in the United
States, and the only place where wo-
have not as yet entered to usurp
mans position is as an omcer In the

sailor or marine. From the inventor
down to the telegraph messenger men
are standing aside ~bewildered, and in.
some cases indignant. seeing their po-

fathers throw their daughters into
the industrial world on much the same
principle that they throw their boys
into the water to teach them to swim"
And through heroic struggles the girl
